With two levels of play, children of all ages will enjoy this unique and educational spelling game.

"Very boring game with weak educational component." 2010-01-06
By Andrew J Ford (Saint Louis, MO USA)
This game is very weak in both the educational and fun aspects.
Speaking to the spelling component, for the entire game, each player only spells one word, so the max number of words you can learn to spell is the number of players in the game.
The honey bee facts are kind of cool, but the annoying part about them is that some of the facts don't make any sense because they depend on other facts that may or may not have been revealed yet.
The fun factor is low because there are long boring stretches where nothing happens. Draw a card, move some spaces, do nothing. Your turn. Repeat.
The game is pure luck and while that can be fun in some well designed games, this game allows one player to easily get ahead with no chance of the other players catching up, which leads to devastating losses.
Finally the game storage is annoying because the two types of cards don't have separate compartments so they have to be resorted every time.

"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".

"Family Connector" 2009-03-18
By Kathryn D. Britch (CA USA)
This game links the family together! I have to be honest and say that my family usually hates games, and I'm the only one who wants to play them. But when one of our friends brought over the A-Z game, Our family just connected and we had the best time playing this! Now, My family wants to play this game every day... and it never gets old!!!
I highly reccomend this to any broken families or for people who just want to have fun!
ENJOY!!!

"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....

Fun house for girls or boys

By

C. Michel

My 9 and 7 year old daughters had a lot of fun building this, and they now have fun playing with it. It inspired them to make a town using their imaginations. My 5 year old son plays right along with them. It's really a great little house.

Great Value, High Quality, Makes a Great Gift

By	Scott Allen (New York)

This Lego set is one of the best values we've ever gotten with a lego set. The beach house is beautiful - it reminds me of real A-frame houses I used to live near in Hawaii. My 9-year-old daughter had no problem putting it together and she enjoyed the process. In addition, this Creator set contains 3 full sets of instructions to create different buildings so it is more interesting than typical sets that have only one design.

If you haven't bought legos since you were a kid, they are different now. Typically the set is a detailed model, with step-by-step instructions how to build it. This is great - the sets are more intricate and interesting than they were 20 years ago. However, usually once your kid builds the set design, it just sits there. It is a fun process for them to build it, but I've seen less "free building" from kids today using legos.

This set is different - it has three different designs so it has a lot of "playability." The pieces are also very versatile for free building, so it is the best of both worlds. The set is also much more affordable than other sets that cost upwards of $100 (and above). I would highly recommend this as a gift for any birthday party- fun for both girls and boys.

Lego Beach House

By	T. Horsfield (Orlando, Florida United States)

My 11 yo son loves playing with this Beach House. He saved up his money for a while to buy this for himself. They can build 3 different structures with this set - 2-story beach house, 3-story-beach house, and a cafe. Also, it doesn't take up too much room to store away like some other Lego sets do. If your son/daughter loves Legos the way mine does, this would be a great set for them.

Great toy -- go buy it!

By	C. S. Funk "todnshay" (McKinney, TX United States)

This is a GREAT toy. My daughter is 23 months and loves playing with this toy. It's great that it's in the kitchen too so I can cook or clean while she plays. She has pulled it off the fridge and banged it a few times and it still works great. I love that she is learning the alphabet so early. She now recognizes letters and points them out to me. We had foam letters for the tub too, but this is the best and most fun. We love Leap Frog!

great toy

By	L. Salsbury (Circleville, OH United States

This is an amazing product. My mother purchased it for my 1 year old at Christmas, and even though she doesn't understand it yet on an educational level, it works on her motor skills because she has to pick the letters off of the fridge and put them correctly in the spot for them. She then gets the reward of listening to it sing to her. My four year old daughter will sit in front of the refrigerator for what seems like forever and just arrange the letters in order while she sings the alphabet song along with the toy. My oldest daughter who is six will sometimes even go to the magnets when she is stuck on a reading word and I tell her to sound it out. Lastly, every child that comes to our house is drawn to the magnets. They all love it, and so do I !

Five Crowns

Five Crowns - Reviews

Buy Low Price From Here Now Five Crowns
Five Crowns is a fast paced ingenious rummy-like card game. Its double deck contains five suits (the stars are new), but it has no aces or twos. This unique deck gives you many more options for arranging your hand into sets and sequences. The challenge is to see them make the right combinations, be the first to go out, then watch the others scramble as they get one last chance to cut their losses. Five Crowns, with its beautiful cards, is easy to learn. It starts with three cards and 3's are wild. The next hand has four cards and 4's are wild, and so on. You'll need luck and skill throughout the game because even in the last hand a worthy opponent can come from behind and win. Remember, "the game isn't over 'til the Kings go wild!" Five Crowns is for up to 2 to 7 players.

this is a game that is a lot of fun and is easy to get into. Simple rules, simple scoring, easy to learn and the game never loses its luster with repeated playings. I have been playing this game regularly for six months and it is still the first game we play whenever any one comes over. My favorite feature of this game is that no matter what your score is you are almost never out of the game. I have played many a game where the leader all game bit the dust at the end. Its always great watching players reactions when some one goes out after drawing their first card. (...) Buy it you will love it!

By	"mjkern" (Columbus, OH United States)

I have to give myself 5 stars for ordering this game. My whole family (which includes my husband, a teenager and a fourth grader) loves Five Crowns. I was looking for a card game we never played before to take along on our vacation. I had to make sure that any new game would be simple enough for my 9 year old to play yet be complicated enough to keep my 14 year old interested. Well, I hit the jackpot with Five Crowns. The instructions are clear and short. We learned to play Five Crowns in just one hand; we played every night on our vacation. And now that we're back... homework first, then Five Crowns.

By A Customer

We just bought Five Crowns, (mostly because of good reviews on this site) and we were not disappointed. My husband and I have fun playing with our kids (9 and 13) and the kids like to play with friends. I've played it with my daughter and her 2 friends and they love it when they "go out" before me. Everyone has a chance to succeed as each hand starts all over (with a higher number of cards). I like to give our children "thinking" games and while this game depends a lot on the cards you draw, what you do with them involvs some thought. The goal is to draw and discard cards to build runs and sets. As the number of cards in your hand changes the wild card changes too, and you have to pay attention not to discard it by mistake! It takes the 4 of us about 45 minutes to play, just the right amount of time for a game after dinner (we don't watch TV). We've played it almost everyday since we received it.

SET Game

SET Game - Reviews

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.

By	B. Battaglia "hockey legend" (buffalo, ny United States)

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.

By A Customer

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.

By A Customer

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.

I got these for my 14 year old son for his birthday and he absolutely loves them! He enjoys making all types of shapes, spheres, squares...they have opposite poles so he has to figure out how they go together. It comes with 216 magnets which sound like a lot, but they are tiny. The only complaint my son has is that he wants more of them. I would suggest buying 2 or more sets or a larger set.

By	C. Sakamoto "Hoplow"

I have a set myself that I received as a gift. At first glance they don't seem very impressive...it's a bunch of silver balls in a jar. But then you dump them out and try to pull one off. They are incredibly strong, one ball has enough magnetic energy to hold the rest of the clump.

You can separate them into strands, combine them into form. Since they are balls sometimes they roll and snap into unexpected configurations.

The previous reviewer is right about one thing, don't pay more than $24.99. That's what the price is multiple places on the net.

WARNING: Be carefull around electronics, they are powerful magnets that could damage your computer, tv, watches and other things. Each ball is very small, maybe 1/8 of an inch across and easily swalled individually or in small clumps. The package says not to play with them if you have a pacemaker. Oh and don't take them to work, you will find yourself playing with them instead of doing your reports (Or so I've heard, mine are at home).

By	K. Groh (Pennsylvania)

These are the coolest magnetic balls. They are incredibly strong. One ball can hold the weight of the entire 216 ball set. They are great to pass the time and come up with new patterns.

They are polarized (they have a positive and negative) so manipulating them into shapes can take a gentle hand and patience as you work them to rotate around.

I love making the cube but it takes a little practice.

They are a little pricey but they are so much fun in their own quirky way. There is something nice about the way they feel as your hand works them into new shapes.

I would caution that my 10 year-old son had too much fun with them the first day and lost one of the balls. Since they are magnetic and small, it is almost impossible to find - although we did eventually find it stuck to a return vent...
