With three play modes—speed-based and turn-based—it offers versatility for family playtime.

Jump 5 by Melon Rind games was so much fun to play! It is a game that can also be educational as you practice your addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills based on multiples of 5's. There are three different ways to play the game - and I am even impressed with their directions. They are easy to read and understand!Basically, you are trying to build up and down on a stack of cards counting by 5's. Some versions of the game are speed-based while others are turn-based.I would highly suggest getting the game if you have kids at home to play with!

My 8 year old son, who is really good at mental math and is learning multiplication table at school, loves playing this game with me. I like that the instructions provide three difficulty levels of gameplay as I was concerned it might be too easy for him. Turns out I am the undefeated champion when we play on the hardest difficulty level because my mental and physical reflexes are faster than his. However, when we play on the turn-taking middle difficulty level, he can win so now that’s his preferred mode.I would give this 5 stars if it was a fuller deck with more cards and multiples values. Of course it would cost more, but I rather have one deck that I can sort during game setup by using a color-coded visual system indicating that these cards are for multiples of 2, these cards are for multiples of 3, etc rather than buy, store, and bring in the car and to restaurants separate decks for Jump 2, Jump 3, etc.This would be a great stocking stuffer!

As a homeschool family, I’m always looking to incorporate games that help solidify and/or teach different concepts. This game is awesome for helping with math, without the kids feeling like they are doing work. It’s a quick game plan and straight forward rules make it a great addition to your home.

I've been gradually working through the series with my first grader. This is a fun way to help a child get extra math practice. Hope they'll eventually add a card deck for 9's!

I home school my kids and am working on teaching my 1st grader to skip count by 5s. Kids respond so much better to learning through play so I ordered this game. She loves it! We had fun and even her older brother joined in. After a few rounds she was already building confidence with skip counting. The game comes with directions for different ways to play so we can up the challenge and won’t get bored. Definitely recommend this game!

This is essentially a frog/pond themed deck of cards from 1-10 and instead of Jokers, Kings, and Queens, there are a few frog cards. But the theming is what makes it fun for our kiddo so worth the price to us. We play this game with a 5 year old who is about to enter Kindergarten. It's helped a lot with them being able to count up and down. Before, they'd HAVE to start at 1 or 10 and count forwards and backwards from there. Now they can start counting either direction from most numbers. It's a simple, fast, 2-player game that I can toss into my purse for on-the-go. So far, we've only played the slow version but the fast version should keep the game playable as they get older.

This is a very fun, easy to play game both my 8 and 11 yr old enjoy. There are multiple ways to play! We use this game as part of our math curriculum for homeschool. We love all of melon rind game. This is a must have for teachers, homeschoolers, and families looking to add some math fun!
