Review: A hit at multiple family gatherings and parties we have had. I love how you work as a team and how you have options on what card to pick to play.

Title: Easy to Learn, Quick & Fun to Play
Review: My extended family has a monthly ‘family game night’ and we are always looking for games that are appropriate for all ages. Sometimes we have six-year-old kids playing and sometimes we have eighty-year-olds playing, with all ages in between. This game is suitable for the whole (extended) family.Set up is easy: everyone gets dealt 4 playing cards. On each card there is a Person, an Object and a Place. They’re ‘themed’ cards, so an example a card might have Thomas Jefferson as a person, The Declaration of Independence as an object and America as a place. The rest of the deck goes in the center of the table, to replenish each player’s cards as the players use them up during their turn.Game Play: also in the center of the table, there are four double-sided ‘guides’ (as I’ll call them) which provide instructions on what to do. One side is ‘basic’ instructions and the other side is ‘advanced’ instructions. They are red (word games), yellow (this is escaping me at the moment), green (acting in a charades-type manner), and blue (drawing on the included dry-erase board). You roll the multi-colored die, and let’s say the face on the die is Blue and the symbol on it is a Location pin. According the the ‘guide’ for that color, you have to look at your player cards and draw the ‘location’ on the card. Using the above example, that’d be America. If you were using the flip-side / advanced ‘guide’ then you’d have to draw it as tiny as humanly possible. If you rolled a green face with a Person icon, you’d have to act like Thomas Jefferson. If you were doing the advanced guide version, you’d have to act like Thomas Jefferson *but* your elbows would have to remain glued to your sides like a T-Rex. There are also 4 ‘coins’ that you can use to change categories.The idea is that EVERYONE is on the same team, and you play against a timer. There’s a link to install an app but we just used our regular phone’s timer. You set it for 15 minutes and pause it in between plays (unless one person is playing and everyone is guessing, the timer gets paused). When someone guesses your drawing/word/etc: that card goes in a pile of ‘winners.’ You see how many winning cards the team can collect before the 15 minutes is up.It’s fun, it goes quickly, and it’s faster to play than regular Cranium. I am not a fan of learning new games, but this one was no problem. to learn and understand quickly.

Title: Great to practice listening
Review: This game is so fun! I have a blended bunch of 5 kiddos and they all have a blast playing this game. It also proved to me that my kids CAN listen and follow instructions, ha! But really, it’s easy and interactive.

Title: Very kid friendly, not very parent friendly
Review: This game is great for kids under the age of ten or so, and even preschoolers can enjoy it if they have someone to read for them. It’s basically a giant “Where’s Waldo” style game, with clues on cards for kids to find specific items on the map. There is a timer to find the items and all the players work together. There are also easier cards for younger players. If you have 2+ children under ten (or your child has some friends over), this is a fantastic game they can set up and play all on their own!There are only two small flaws with this game:First, it’s boring as heck for adults to play. There are a lot of good family games that are entertaining for both adults and kids (off the top of my head, “Throw, Throw, Burrito” is one), but this game is JUST for kids. Following the clues on the cards and finding the pictures is exceedingly simple for an adult, so you’ll just spend you time watching your children play, versus actually participating yourself.The second flaw is much more serious, but may require more testing before I am sure. So when the players find the pictures on the board they earn tokens with point numbers on them. The tokens are taken at random from a face-down pile, so the amount of points they get for each token are also random. Well both times I played with my kids, they almost lost because the random values of the tokens they selected just barely added up above the winning number at the end of the game. I am pretty confident that players could find every picture on all the cards within the time limit and still LOSE the game! There is a “rule” or system in the game to help with this problem, but it’s entirely optional. Every clue card has a “bonus” game or activity the players can do after they look for the picture. This is usually something silly like “hop on one foot for 30 seconds” and then they get a 2nd token for that round. Again, the problem is that if players choose not to do any of the bonus activities, it greatly increases the chances that they will lose the game (which kind of make these activities REQUIRED, instead of “optional”). My children did not choose to do every bonus activity, and like I said, both times we played they barely scored enough points to win. Just something to think about.

Review: Not as good as the original I had as a child. You need a smartphone to operate it. But great fun and nostalgia for the kids.

Review: My daughter had this game some 10-12 years ago. Her and her little friends had so much fun bouncing and jumping to the pads.I thought it was a great birthday pressie for our 4 year old nephew to help lessen the need for devices (at fear of sounding totally out of touch!). So was very disappointed to find that it no longer has a speaker and a button that you just press to play. Now it’s download the app and stick your phone in what looks like a little megaphone. I’m sure it’s still fun but annoying that there is a reliance on the smart phone!
