What is Bao’s Cloudland?

The game includes 12 colorful wooden figures, two of each kind: sheep, cow, cat, goat, geese, and pig. There is also a spiral-bound book with 60 different puzzle tasks, divided into different levels of complexity. These levels are ordered and marked by the color on the page, so it is easy for even non-readers to find the right level.

How Do You Play Bao’s Cloudland?

Bao’s Cloudland is simple and easy to understand. It is a one-player game (which is really convenient when you have a child who is “bored” and needs something to do). You simply pick the puzzle task of your choice, and then try to fill in the outline on the page with the correct animals to complete the puzzle.

Who Would Enjoy Bao’s Cloudland?

He says, “The green level is easy peasy.” Honestly, I think this is a game that all ages can enjoy, especially with the different level puzzles. It is recommended for ages 3+, but as we saw with my toddler, even some two-year-olds could enjoy it. Often, when a game is rated for ages that young, we think it wouldn’t be of interest to older children or adults, but I think the whole family could enjoy this game.
