This is not really a competitive game. There is no strategy since players roll a dice to determine what to add to the tower. The rules say that whoever adds the last elephant is the winner, but I suggest ignoring that portion for little kids. This is great if you want to teach kids the important life lesson that sometimes, no matter what you do, you will lose.
Technically, the rules say that if the tower gets knocked over you just start over, so if you do want to win, the best strategy is to knock the tower down on your turn if you think you are setting up your opponents. However, if you do this nobody will ever want to play with you and your two year old will not understand why you are so mean.
My son is too young to fully understand the concept of the game, but with my help and instruction, we can get through a short game. It's been really good for teaching him about numbers and balance, and also for teaching the basic concept of taking turns during a game. The hardest part, for him, is following the "directions" that rolling the die gives you. He wants to execute his own stacking plan.
But that makes this game a good toy as well. My son will often ask for "Elephant Game!" just to practice stacking and rolling the die -- it can keep him entertained for quite a long time.
This isn't a game that'll be fun for years and years... I'm sure kids will outgrow it before they enter school. But it's a great introduction to games for little ones, a good starting point.
