There aren't a great many games well-suited to young players, perhaps because getting youngsters to sit still at a table for any length of time is not so easy. Both parents and kids are likely to find Pet Frenzied to be a double-dose of fresh air then, for not only can kids as young as 3 or 4 easily play, but there's no sitting still involved. The Pet Frenzied deck consists of two kinds of cards - Houses (with pictures of houses), and Pets (cats or dogs). Both types of cards have colored backgrounds, and for every House card, there's a matching colored Pet card. At the outset, all Pets are hidden around the play area, face down (with at least some part visible). The Hider yells, 'Pet Frenzied,' and players each grab a House and start seeking a matching colored Pet. As soon as someone finds a match, he goes back and grabs another House and begins searching anew. The seeking goes on like this until all Pets have been matched to Houses. The player with the most Pets at this point is the winner. The action in Pet Frenzied is continuous, with never a dull moment. Kids employ search and recognition, memory, matching, and color skills. And most important of all, they have great fun.
