"Both units have a resetting problem" 2010-01-07
By B. Hammond (Metamora IL)
We received this as a gift for Christmas 2009. The first one we had seemed alot of fun except the on/off switch was a little flaky in that when you let off of it, the game would shut off on its own. We emailed support and received another unit from the company which gave us great customer support. However, we have had the new unit for a little over a week and it is now experiencing the random resets I see reported by others. It is a fun game for both the kids and adults. But nothing is more frustrating than playing for a few minutes and having to start over. I just think they need some better quality control or something. I will try to get a third unit but am expecting more of the same. Too bad.

"good game but...." 2009-07-20
By Dejah Thoris
Considering that this game is the junior version - its a little difficult to deal with the "steal" and "free". No write up information about the steal or free is given online or on the box and the game uses these a lot. We bought this game thinking it was just name things in a category and press the button with that letter. We were surprised about the steal and free, which makes the directions that much harder for a family sharing the game. We also have a problem with the game resetting - I don't know if we bump it or run out of time or what. The fact that you have to push the button to start each person's turn within say 15 seconds when you are playing with 4 kids is a tad stressful since the game shuts off if you don't push the button on time - this means everyone loses. We find playing a one person game works the best - we play whoever clears the last letter wins. Great concept but wish it were geared toward the "jr" end since it is called "jr".

"Great Family Game" 2008-12-29
By L. Thomas (Pittsburgh, Pa)
I bought this game for my 9 yr old son for Christmas this year and thought it sounded like a fun game for Family Game Night. It also was the only one left on the shelf and I took that as a good sign of its popularity. After playing with the kids I have to say that it is a very cute game that younger ones can play and parents will have a good time with as well. It does keep you on your toes when trying to think of answers with the timer ticking down....very much like Scattergories. The categories are good, a lot of freebie type categories like street names, etc. but that just makes it easy for anyone to get an answer.

The only issues I can see are the steal coming on when you first turn on the game, (strange, since there is no one to steal from) but you just shut it off and turn back on. Also, we were sitting on the floor and when sliding to the next person it lightly bumped the leg of the coffee table and reset so we had to start over which is a little frustrating.

Other than that I have to say that it is a really fun game to play, we all enjoyed it. It's very hard to find a game that we can play as a family that keeps everyone interested. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, family game. I also just found out there was an adult version which I intend to buy for a change of pace from playing Scattergories....

SET Game - Reviews

SET Game
Buy Low Price From Here Now SET Game
SET is a card game of quick recognition and deduction. Each card contains one of three symbols (squiggles, diamonds, ovals) in varying numbers (up to three), colors (purple, green, red), and degrees of shading. A dealer arranges 12 cards, face up, and the players--without taking turns--hastily scrutinize the images for logical "sets" of three cards linked by combinations of sameness or difference. It's not as complicated as it sounds: examples include a trio of paired ovals with increasing levels of shading between cards, or disparate symbols in different colors which increase in number on each card (card one has a green squiggle, card two a pair of purple ovals, card three a trio of diamonds). The trick is to keep calm while trying to make the rapid connections. The Darwinian nature of the game (remember: everyone plays simultaneously) is certain to cause some feistiness among more competitive players.

Highly addictive game because there are no turns, just every body whaling away at once. Trying to match up these shapes and colors becomes maddening after awhile. It is quite easy to get lost and see no matches what so ever and all of a sudden your brain will just click and you will be seeing sets everywhere. This is a very simple game to learn and very hard to master. First time players will get frustrated very easily if they are playing with SET veterans. The idea is to match any three cards on the table by having all of the card's characteristics being all the same or all different. Your spatial reasoning will get a real work out as you play through the deck the number of times equal to the number of players. Points are scored for each successful set and points are lost for incorrectly picking a set(which happens alot when everyone is in a hurry to find the next set.). A great great game that is loads of fun but a real mental workout.

This game is the best invention since chess, if you want to improve your child's thinking ability! When I taught gifted students in grades 2-8, they would beg to play it. Kids would say over and over, "It''s hard, but it's fun". I read that it is an activity where the right brain and the left brain work together. The best thing about it is that it is not dependent on age or reading ability. There are 6 year olds who could beat me, and there are adults I can beat. A group of all ages can play together competitively, and no one has to hold back. Also, it is very light and portable for travel, or for just having handy if people are bored.. I take the cards out of the case, put a rubber band around them, and put them in my bag.

This educational game is extremely fun. Of the 7 members of our family - 5 of us play very often. We even invite company over to play! Our youngest who is 6 enjoys this game and can beat mom at 40! The other 5 children also are extremely fond of the game. The only problem that we have encountered is that sometimes 2 or more people yell "SET" at the same time. We have solved that proplem by incorporating a bell from a different game set next to the 12 cards to ring instead of yelling "SET". This works very well for our family! The best thing about this game is that it is extremely fun for all age groups! We can get quite competitive and play it over and over again.

Trouble Board Game Reviwes
Trouble Board Game

Buy Low Price From Here Now Trouble Board Game
Trouble is a board game with a simple concept: Be the first player to send your four game pieces all the way around the board, moving spaces determined by rolls of the dice. The "trouble" of the title comes when an opponent's piece lands on a space occupied by your piece, thus sending yours back to the beginning. Parents will likely remember the game from their youth, or at least remember the game's signature gimmick, the pop-o-matic dice roller. The Pop-o-matic is a dome-shaped clear plastic housing for the dice in the center of the board game that automatically tumbles the dice when pressed down and released. This feature, plus the board's plastic slots that hold the game pieces in place, make Trouble a perfect travel game--car or boat motion won't upset the game's progress. It is indeed satisfying to press, slap, or pound the pop-o-matic. It's strong enough to withstand the frustration of the losing player(s). The game's simplicity makes it easy to jump into without elaborate explanations or practice games for new players, but it's utter lack of strategy will likely limit interest to just a few rounds. --Porter B. Hall

It's the classic race-and-chase game with the PopoMatic die-rolling bubble! Pop the bubble and hop your pegs around the track. Land on an opponent's peg to bump it back home! But don't you get bumped back, or you're in Trouble! Keep poppin' and hoppin' to get all 4 of your pegs to the finish line first, and you win! Trouble includes plastic game unit with PopoMatic die roller, gameboard, 16 plastic playing pegs, and 4 rubber feet.

I think even young children will enjoy this game. My daughter was under 4 when we started, but she loves the counting aspect of the game. It's great for number recognition skills because you make them say the number on the die outloud as they "roll." The only rule I don't like is that you need a "6" to start. Often that makes the beginning a bit slow if no one gets a 6. Once things get going, it's a lot of fun and easy to play. The thing in the middle is harder to push than it looks, so for very young children, they may not be strong enough to push it. 3-4 year olds should have no problem though and it makes a satisfying pop. A fun and easy game -- avoid if your child still puts small plastic pieces in his mouth though.


By A Customer
I have a hard time finding a game my daughters will both agree on. When I found Trouble, I found relief! It's one game they agree on and the whole family can get into the action. The die helped my youngest learn to recognize her numbers. What a wonderful family game. My hat's off to you Amazon for selling this game and thank you Hasbro for making such a wonderful family game!

By CMBohn "cmb" (Orem, UT USA)
This is a fun game that's easy for little ones to play, too. It's very much like Sorry, except that instead of cards you have a dome with a die inside that you "pop" on your turn. The only problem with the game is that it isn't very sturdy. My husband compared it with the one he played as a little boy and he was disappointed. And you definitely have to keep it picked up, otherwise all the little pegs will get lost. But my kids like it and I don't mind playing it with them.

Twister
Buy Low Price From Here Now Twister
Over forty years old and going strong! Soon after its release in 1966, Twister was made instantly popular when Johnny Carson and Eva Gabor played it on The Tonight Show. Such a simple concept, with so much potential for hilarity. The game includes a plastic mat with red, blue, yellow, and green spots; a spinner; and instructions. To play (as if you didn’t already know…), two to four players face each other, with the plastic mat in the center. A referee spins the spinner, then calls out the body part and the color the arrow points to ("Left foot, blue," "Right hand, yellow"). All players, at the same time, follow the directions, placing the appropriate body part on a vacant circle. Players become increasingly entangled, until someone (or everyone) finally topples, and is eliminated. The last person standing—er, crouching—wins. If this doesn’t bring families and friends (and celebrities) closer together, we don’t know what does! Out-and-out fun. --Emilie Coulter

Twister is the game that ties you up in knots. Spin the dial and move a hand or foot to the colored circle on the floor mat. Can you get there' dont touch the mat with anything but a hand or foot. It is for 2 or 4 players. It includes a spinner, a mat and instructions. Instructions are available in English and Spanish.

My 14 year old son constantly berides us for remaining Nintendo-free. So imagine his surprise, when at his 14th birthday party his like-minded guests discovered "Twister," declaring it an "awesome" game.

We all know this goofy game, the one that "ties you up in knots." The boomer-echo kids haven't had the same experience with these silly games, and it is a real novelty to them. The funniest photos from said birthday party show these hip kids dissolving into giggles as the pile collapses on the mat.

There is even somewhat of an educational aspect to this game. To be successful, some advance planning and spatial relations skills are helpful in avoiding the inevitable collapse. This generation of kids has not always had the same level of hands-on spatial experience we enjoyed when tearing apart items from the junk heap. "Twister" is a fun way for kids to get some of this experience for themselves. As for their parents, I move MUCH more slowly with my 40-something muscles, but it's still a blast to play with the kids!

By PianoPlayer8816 (WA USA)
I have played this for years at birthday parties, but finally got one of my own last summer. So I took it to a Summer Youth Camp with me...and about 25 of us teens took turns on there. It was such a blast!
The only thing I would say is, if you have back or neck problems, you might want to skip this one. Or you could always be the spinner person. Either way, this one's tons of fun!

By Susan (Raleigh, NC United States)
Everyone is a winner playing Twister. My husband and I took this to a school for at risk kids in Peru. There is nothing like a little fun to break through cultural barriers. They rather enjoyed watching us trying to beat each other along with them. We're buying extras to send back to the school. Classic games like Twister take you right back to childhood as you watch new generations give the spinner a try.

I greatly enjoy playing board games with my children, but I am not a fan of games that do not require thinking. Some of the "first" games are games of chance, and they don't really stimulate their minds (or my mind). I like a game where the child is an active participant in the gameplay, but are simple enough for them to learn.

Blokus3D is just that sort of game. My 5 year old really enjoys playing, and he is getting close to beating me! We only play the "tower" configuration right now, and we have a great time. In addition to great game play, a lot of though was put into the game itself. Each of the 4 colors fits in its own opening in the plastic tray, and the game board fits on top. The game board has a nice rotating action to allow each turning of the emerging tower without knocking over all of the pieces.

My only complaint is that the pieces can be tough for little fingers to avoid accidentally knocking over. Perhaps if they were a bit heavier, or if their surfaces were slightly different, the tower would hold better. Otherwise, I am happy with the game and heartily recommend it.

SORRY! Sliders
SORRY! Sliders

Buy Low Price From Here Now SORRY Sliders

Sorry! Sliders has put a fun, new twist on the all-time favorite game by turning it into a shuffle board game of sorts--where players slide their pawns to home, or slide their opponents pawns into the Sorry! spaces and off the board to win. Designed for children ages six and up, Sorry! Sliders can be played with up to four players, making it the perfect game for family nights.




Pawns have balls on the bottom for super sliding power. View larger.
Four Different Games for Slider Fun
The Sorry! Sliders game features the primary Sorry! colors of blue, red, yellow, and green. There are 16 rolling pawns, and 16 scoring pawns which are smaller in size and do not contain the rolling balls in the bottom. The game also includes four different versions of gameplay--a fun, new variation from the original Sorry! that only offers one way to play. Sorry! Sliders is also very easy to clean up, since the cards have been eliminated.

Great for Family Game Night and Counting Practice
Sorry! Sliders doesn't require a lot of strategy or skill level, so it can be played with all different age groups while remaining fun and interesting for everyone. Plus, it is a game that you can play for either a short or long period of time.

Sorry! Sliders can also have educational values for younger children working on their counting skills, since players have to count up points and add up final scores. And with easy setup and cleanup to boot, it's hard not to welcome the newest Sorry! game into your home.

What's in the Box
Two two-sided target boards, four tracks, four score boards, eight side rails, three blocker rails, 16 roller pawns, and 16 scoring pawns.


Same favorite colors and same idea--yet twice the fun!
New updates make this classic game even more exciting in this aim, slide and score target game. In SORRY! Sliders, you'll have a blast sliding and bumping someone back to start. But watch out -- it won't be so enjoyable when it happens to you! Modular game board provides four ways to play. For 1 to 4 players.

AWESOME!!! I bought this game to advance my 2nd graders from the classic SORRY! game they have always loved. This version has added an exciting twist and skill to the board that keeps them interested and certainly in great competition. They love the excitement of how much their score can change throughout the game based on how pawns slide onto the game baord and bump into other pawns. The concept of scoring was easy for them to understand yet challenging enough for keeping track of each round. They certainly enjoyed the familiarity of the SORRY concept and most excited about the variation capabilities in this set. Another feature I did not expect so much excitement from was the pawns. Every player gets 8 pawns, 4 tiny ones for scoring and 4 "sliders" with steel balls inside them. The rule is one tiny pawn to a large sliding pawn. To teach them the relation of scoring, I let them know that every big pawn has ONE "buddy" (little pawn)..and that they stick together throughout the game.
The game is very well constructed. I use alot of games in teaching and this is impressive! Don't hesitate! You're FAMILY will love this one!

My son had been begging for this game after seeing the commercials. He got it for his birthday. It is a lot of fun for the whole family. My son is 7 and my daughter 9. We all have a great time. It's very simple to learn and set up and has several different versions to play. It's like shuffle board. I would recommend this game especially if you are looking for a family game that everyone will enjoy.

Great game! Our 2 teenaged boys joined my husband and me to play and we all had a blast! It's a fun party game too since the rules are quick and easy to learn, which also makes it great for family get-togethers; kids to grandparents can play it. I bought several as gifts for nieces and nephews.

I took points off for durability only because the game would be unplayable if the cardboard tracks became bent.

Crayola Glow Station can create with Light!

Buy Low Price From Here Now Glow Station can create with Light!
The award-winning Crayola Glow Station empowers kids to create incredible illustrations in a whole new way -- with light! The Glow Station is the place for kids to become glow-in-the-dark artists -- using a light wand and stencils to make luminous illustrations on the glow canvas. Drawing with the wand encourages kids to use the artistic and fine-motor skills they've started learning in school. Recommended for children ages six and up, this activity center is a fun way to create, alone or with a friend.




The Glow Station comes with plenty of stencils and texture sheets for your child to experiment with. View larger.


Using the light wand, kids can create luminous, glow-in-the-dark drawings.
View larger.

Award-winning Design: Kids and Parents Agree
A 2009 Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Best Toy Award, the Crayola Glow Station is a hit with kids and adults. Kids will love watching as their ideas literally come to light on the canvas. And parents will love how it works the imagination without creating a giant mess. It even helps cleans up after itself: Over time the light drawings magically disappear from the glow canvas, making room for more glow-in-the-dark works of art!

The perfect poster size for creating and displaying drawings, the glow canvas hangs well from a wall or bedroom door. The darker the location, the better it is for glowing. Made from durable blue plastic, the top and bottom of the canvas provide spaces for everything, including stencil-sheet hooks and holders for the light wand, crystal tip, and stencil shapes. And when it's time to be put away, the canvas rolls up for easy storage.

Start from Scratch or Take Some Pointers
Packed with stencils and texture sheets, the Glow Station gives kids lots of places and ideas to start. Stencil sheets and shapes of animals and space objects let kids trace with the glowing light wand.

With the light texture sheets, they can give these shapes -- and their own creations -- lifelike effects, like spider webs and exotic animal prints. Of course, it's also fun to use the light wand to make luminous freehand drawings. Or, with the crystal tip attachment, create sparkling stars.

Ready, Set, Glow!
The Crayola Glow Station stands out from ordinary glow-in-the-dark toys. Not only does it glow exceptionally well, but it encourages kids to play, use imagination, and create art in new ways. While the texture sheets give a cool dimension to stencil tracings, it's just as much fun -- and less cumbersome -- to draw freehand on the glow canvas. But with so many options, kids won't ever have to choose just one way to create with light.

What's in the Box
Glow station light canvas, light wand with crystal attachment, 2 stencil sheets, 13 stencil tracer shapes, and 2 light texture sheets.

The Crayola Glow Station lets kids create cool, glowing masterpieces using a glow-in-the-dark, poster-sized canvas and one Light Wand with crystal-tip attachment for magical coloring effects. Supplies include 2 stencil sheets, 13 stencil "light-resist" shapes, 2 light texture sheets and one dry erase broadline marker.

If you are trying to break your school-ager from nightlight dependency, then this is the one. My 2nd grade son who wouldn't let me turn the lights off at bed time or close the door to his room, now insists that I do both so that he can see his good night message from Mom. He doesn't really spend a lot of time with it but its great as a "night light" comfort item. The glow lasts a while after the lights are turn off, okay I don't know exactly how long but its long enough for him to get to sleep. There is enough room for a short message from Mom for him to look at as he falls asleep. He does enjoy drawing pictures of space scenes when he does think to play with it, but even he sees this as a night light substitute.

By J. Jaryszak "Creative Diva"
This is a fantastic toy. It definitely works the best in the dark. It's great to use with the shapes they give you but also fun to put toys or other things on top of it. You can put your hand or foot on top of it and shine the light above your hand and it will leave your handprint on the board. It doesn't fade off quickly, if you are in the dark. I think this toy can be educational because your child can think of different ways to leave images on the board. I enjoy playing with this too. It can get wrinkled easily and the diamond thing that makes stars left a few dents on our board. You can't push down with that hard. My girls and I love this toy. I highly recommend it.
