Product Description
This food lotto game is hilarious fun for all ages. Players aim to fill their game board with a tasty, edible meal; but avoid the yukky combinations or you'll end up with a tummy ache. All players start with a meal board, and all the food and tummy ache cards are shuffled and placed in a pile, face down. Players take it in turns to pick up a card from the pile and place it on their board in the appropriate space. If they already have a card on that space, they can choose whether to keep the old card or replace it with the new one. The unwanted card is placed face up in a 'discarded' pile, and players can take the top card from the discarded pile instead of the 'unseen' pile, if they prefer. If they pick up a 'tummy ache' card, everyone shouts "tummy ache!" and the player places it on the correct space on their board, if it is empty. If they already have a card on that space, the 'tummy ache' card is put face up on the discarded pile. The winner is the first person to fill their game board with a balanced, edible meal. This best selling, award-winning game helps children learn about balanced meals while having fun avoiding the bug-covered apple or the worm-infested broccoli. It helps children develop PSHE and science skills, and is suitable for children aged between 3 and 10 years.

I've just created a 'Listmania' list of the 10 best games my 3 children have and this is definitely a must have purchase for age 3-7. It is excellent value for money and great fun.
This game is ideal for very young children as it is a very simple introduction to board games. It's much easier than similar board games (like the excellent washing line game, pop to the shops etc) but still has a huge fun factor. It is also a quick game so children don't lose attention. There are also no small pieces like dice or counters to struggle with.
You take a board each which has the outline of a glass, dessert glass, knife, fork and middle plate and you start of with one face down pile of cards. Each player choses a card in turn from the main pile or a face up card from the discard pile. You match the card to your board and have to shout "tummy ache" if you take a card covered with spiders, maggots or other types of yukky stuff. The aim to to collect enough 'healthy' eating cards on your plate to win. If there is a space on your card you must place a yukky card down but the aim is to swap it for a 'heathly eating' card. The winner is the first person to fill up their card/place mat with 5 edible choices.
It has great educational value for this age range as the children have to match their cards to the background. It teaches them which side the knife and fork usually go (although doesn't work for left handers like my daughter) and most importantly can set a discussion going about healthy eating choices. Most of the food with the bugs are the unhealthy options like pizza, burgers, chips, ice cream. It is not a preachy game though as there is also a frog in the water, millipedes on the lettuce leaves and worms on the tomatoes.
My children love shouting "tummy ache" when they pick up a gruesome card and have to place it on their place mat. The games also only last a few minutes (less than 5) so in a playing session you can have a few games and a few winners so different children have a good chance of winning this completely random game.

I bought this game when my children were aged 2 and 4. It was an instant hit then and is still one of their favourites a year and a half later. The concept is so simple that even very small children can join in, but it is still lots of fun for older children and even the adults.
Boo hiss to the reviewer who wanted it to be more 'educational'. For pities sake, aren't things allowed to be just fun anymore? The fun in the game comes primarily from trying to get your 'favourite' cards. In our house this means the trifle and the strawberry milkshake, and I doubt that the game would be half as much fun if they were forced to choose low fat yoghurt and water in order to win.
A top game from Orchard Toys. Very hightly recommended.

This game was given to our son for his 3rd birthday and a year on it's still a firm favourite and is played at least once a week. The fun seems to come from yelling 'TUMMY ACHE' at the top of his voice - unsurprisingly. He's got so good at playing it that he can now play 2 boards simultaneously.
The aim is quite simple, collect a main dish, one vegetable(with fork), one starch (with knife), one drink and one desert. If you get a 'tummy ache' card yell it out loud and then wait for your next turn to hope to get rid of it. The Tummy Ache cards include hamburgers, ice cream and potato waffles all with a gruesome selection of bugs crawling all over them.
The child learns a little about balanced diet while having a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
