+7376	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter loves this cash register and so do I. I was looking for a register that had money close to the size of real money. This one is it! We have had so much fun playing store, and it's helping my daughter learn to make change, ect. Math lessons in disguise!
+Quick to set up and put away, and well made.  Quick to play (less than an hour).

+5224	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Awesome game.
+1484	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We play (a bit modified) with my six year old and she loves it.  Really takes only 5 minutes to learn.  I highly recommend this game as you can play with adults and older children by following the rules exactly, or play with younger children by modifying the rules a bit...  asking for an expansion pack for my birthday next year!

+4913	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We love this game, and love giving it as a gift. It's simple to learn, sturdy, and portable. Great for ages five and up!
+There are several expansions/variations to Ticket to Ride available involving new maps and / or mechanics, but these are not included in this core product.
+4683	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My five year old is fascinated by the human body so we thought this would be a fun way to teach her more.  She really enjoys pulling out all the pieces and learning the names of the different bones and organs.
+7538	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Always a fun one for the kiddies.
+
+Absolute, 100 percent recommended buy. As opposed to my thumbs down of the Remo 22 wide x 21 high "gathering drum".
+
+9350	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Very sturdy, built well, durable, and has a great sound! I definitely recommend it. My son loves it and can't put it down! Might be too small for a kid 8 years or older though.
+It is true that these games are not the sturdiest; They require children exercise care and caution.  You have to expect them to put the game pieces awat nicely, but we have had no problem with that, even with children who aren't always perfectly well behaved. The boxes themselves, though, are actually very sturdy and of much better quality than you'd find from more mainstream companies.  Also, if you get a bunch of these Family Pastimes games, they stack beautifully and are quite inviting for children to chose from. Likewise, I find the homespun aesthetics of these games and the artwork quite appealing, much more satisfying than some of the more overproduced stuff out there.
+7347	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	If you don't have this game but like playing with friends and family you need to add this to your game arsenal. It is so fun!

+Finally, there's a intrigue card that allows you to 'steal' resources from an opponent, but then that player gets the intrigue card (so they can 'attack' you back later). The flavor text is: Cue Evil Laugh. So we made mom do an evil laugh everytime she used it, which is hilarious in and of itself.

+5636	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I am a big fan of Lovecraft. I enjoy his work, and feel sympathy for him as I read. He was dealt a rough hand in life, and I think it really shows in his work. Melancholy, sometimes depressing, with little hope or cheer; but exciting and thoughtful, as well. I buy some of the merchandise (games, plush, etc.), but sometimes feel that the spirit of his work gets lost. I do not feel that this is the really the case with this Fluxx game though.
+XCOM is a game of you versus the seemingly endless horde of creepy aliens looking to be jerks. They will fly in with UFO's and send minions into your base to kill you, all in an effort to raise panic levels of the mindless masses of Earth. When the panic level of those masses gets too high, everyone freaks out and the world is turned into one giant ball of violence that puts Black Friday to shame, and you lose. The minion aliens could also break your base and you lose. As this is XCOM...be prepared to lose a few times. As with the video game, the board game will make you pay for making mistakes.
+778	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Great game thats easy to figure out.
+She was really excited to use the patterns for different types of the alphabet. She decorated four 8x10 canvases with a quote and it looks great!

+3348	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	When my 17 y/o asked for this game, I was taken aback by the price and hesitant to place the order. However, he is a huge fan of the Game of Thrones, having read the books and watched the show. So I placed the order and he is THRILLED.
+9541	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Our girls love playing the game.  After the first game or two they loved coming up with imaginative stories for using the tools to solve the obstacles.
+671	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Great!
+8438	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I had this game when I was young and it has been around for years now. You could be forgiven for dismissing the game as a silly bit of fun but a large part of the point of this is setting up the game. This requires kids to test their dexterity, physical and mental, as well as consider some early notions of scientifc principles; logic, physics, probability etc.
+3354	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is a very fun adventure game, unfortunately it suffers from the standard flaw that while you are trying to get strong enough to defeat bosses the game is annoying "farming".
+8277	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	As a child, I myself grew up with Candyland.  Now that I have children of my own, my house wouldn't be the same without it.
+9872	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This was awesome!!!
+The rules are simple and requires some speed in being able to slam a slamwich when the proper sequence of cards appear.
+9595	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is an awesome buy! My baby fell asleep for 2 hours at the beach. Very easy to put together.
+-The Xanathar Lord sucks.  He seems to be a bit handicapped.
+Overall, it's recommended for fans of cyberpunk and sci-fi games in general. It's simple enough to appeal to more casual gamers -- it could be a good gateway game -- but engrossing enough for hardcore gamers.

+
+6203	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	After reading all the positive reviews and knowing many of these kind of helicopters get terrible reviews I felt this one was the one to buy.  My son opened it on his birthday and then charged it being so excited. Never got off the ground!!!  So upset for him.  Mailed it back that same day. I am still looking for a good one to replace it.
+
+The confidence that this product purports to instill into young learners is truthful. This in itself makes the product a step above many other tools I have used to teach youngsters (I am a specialist in teaching learners with developmental delays). In the process, he is also learning critical thinking skills and basic building blocks on which phonemic awareness, basic math skills, and problem-solving skills are founded.
+There's a short version and a long version.  The short version takes the 3 of us an hour.  It's a well made game.  Our biggest complaint is the narrator's voice.  It is supposed to be "Carlisle" from Twilight but it just sounds like, as my son puts it, "Some guy sounding fake English."
+c) beefier string that is less inclined to relax its grip when pulled closed.
+1764	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	just received it in the mail yesterday but.....not planning to announce the arrival to my 3 year old son till the night after thanksgiving. I never thought i would buy one and really didn't get the point of it but then i read up on the story and how fun it is for the kids and i had to do it. I cant wait to read the book to my son, give the elf a name and make a game of it each day looking for the elf around the house.
+Pros:
+6105	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is a great little controller for RC flight sim. It is a little sensitive, but that actually help one to learn not to over control when really flying. My laptop recognized it instantly and it worked perfectly with the Clearview RC Simulator software. The software that comes with it is just an old version of a freeware download. I bought this only for the controller. At this low price it is the very best you can do.
+
+6444	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Classic game of Trouble that I grew up playing.  Glad to be able to share it with my children.
+
+2735	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter literally squealed when she saw this! She's 8 and if you have kids reading the bad kitty books, this is the item to get. Makes reading so much more fun when they have the toy to match. She now reads along with this bad kitty. Love it. So glad I picked it up for her.
+319	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Love the expansion of skulls and more abundant spaces to put my "agents" on.
+3196	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I can't add much to the other reviews, other than they are 100% right on.  We really don't like to run the AC in our apartment at night (and don't like paying for it) but with our Vornado running on the lowest setting and pointed just over our heads, we are as comfortable as possible.  Be sure and get one with the continuously variable speed settings, so you can run it really slowly (and quietly).  No fan is completely silent, but you can hardly hear the motor at all, just the woosh of the air around the blades and through the vent.
+1858	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	great for the kids for the holidays.
+1092	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Do you love board games? Do you love something with a little strategy that doesn't take hours to learn? Are you sick of the same tired old ideas being reproduced in some "new" game? Welcome aboard Ticket to Ride. Ticket to Ride is a refreshingly fun game that is great for the entire family, or a group of adults for that matter. It is a quick game to learn, even a novice can have the hang of it in 15 minutes. Select your missions, draw your cards, and lay tracks across the US to begin racking up points. The game play moves rapidly enough to keep it from getting boring and there is some strategy involved but not enough to make it tedious. This is a favorite both with our family and with our friends when they come to visit. There is nothing bad I can say about this game, it is definitely in our top three all time favorites.
+4732	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is kind of expensive for what you get, but my kids LOVE it! It's a great learning tool, but the proportions are not exactly correct. So, take it for what it is. We'll be using it for homeschooling. :)
+4120	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Imperial Assault: Han Solo Ally Pack is part of the Wave 1 expansion for the Star Wars Imperial Assault tabletop miniature game from Fantasy Flight Games. It contains the following: 1 Han Solo unpainted plastic miniature/figure, 1 named (Red) Han Solo Deployment Card (the same as the one from the IA core box set), 1 Mission (Campaign) Card (gives the Quickdraw Holster Reward), 1 Reward Card (Quickdraw Holster), 2 Skirmish Mission Cards, 6 Command Cards, and 1 double-sided rulesheet (explains how to play the scenarios and build the game maps associated with this expansion and requires the core box set to properly use). The figure can be painted and used on its own, but the cards are specifically for use with the Imperial Assault core box set.
+9993	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	If this is a cushioned surface I'd hate to see what a non cushioned surface look like. I'd also like to see 12 players crowded around this tiny little board. That WOULD be a sight. Four players max. I think I'm going to glue to a hard surface

+7204	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter loves card games, I think she'll really enjoy this.
+6382	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	I like it, but the material it was made can bend easily.  My son love it it match with his collection.
+1883	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We love our elf on a shelf.  It is a little creepy at times but oh well.
+4412	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My husband and I love this game! It's great for just two people or a big group! Everyone should have this game! My six year old loves to play with us too and really am amazed how well she can build words. Plus I love games that don't require a big box. We store this in a kitchen drawer.
+
+4811	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	Parts are too small and it was hard for my 8 year to take out and put together the right way.
+8725	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Fast service all as promised
+Truth be told, I use this tile set with all of my fantasy role-playing table-top games.
+Open Chests: One Thief or Champion may open any number of chests and all other companions can open a single chest.
+Prior to conflict you do what's called an Edge Battle where you basically discard cards one at a time in hopes of getting more Force icons than your opponent (the downside is you lose those cards), and this fun bit of bluffing and jockeying is for the all-important "edge" of going first when combat resolves, then you alternate as either sides characters attack each other and opposing objectives. Between turn actions you resolve a Force Struggle, where both sides compare characters "committed" to their struggle to see if anyone gets a force bonus to their cause: Dark Side is basically trying to get to 12 of their Death Star turn marker while Light Side is trying to destroy 3 Dark Side objectives before that happens. These combined with the cards themselves, the Units, locations, events, all add up to a giving a story-like feel to the game that's just fantastic. If you like Star Wars, this game is for you...you'll like it even more. If you're one of the few that don't (why are you reading this?) but you enjoy a well-made, really fun card game then this is also for you.
+938	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Love this game my 6&8 year old are enjoying it too!
+9720	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I learned my math facts on t  his toy 30 years ago!  It's still a great toy today.  This is a great quality and more fun than flash cards.  Kids can practice on their own.  It's funny though because the first thing my kids did was push the buttons and say, "It needs batteries!"  They live in such a technological age that they think everything is going to blink and buzz at them!  Great price.  Great quality.
+PRO:
+7344	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Awesome learning tool
+Medium.  At least when Ive taught people the idea of tapping a card to affect the roll before or after it happens seems to be a sticking point, mostly because there are only two kinds of cards that go before a roll and you are used to tapping all the rest of the cards after you roll.  Once you get past that, then theres the analysis paralysis for those who struggle with the idea of multiple routes to victory.  Which of all those cards should I try to get?  Happily the opening options are limited.  The options increase as people warm up to the game- hopefully getting the hang of it.
+580	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I bought this game for my 12 yr. old grandaugher.  So far we have not used it, so I can't say how much she likes it.  It looks like it will be fun though and educational.
+
+436	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	good product
+79	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	A Christmas gift for my 8 y/o niece & totally by surprise her 11 y/o sister got the same exact one & she told me she had picked it out for herself.  On Christmas day she sat on the couch & began making a white fluffy poodle  I could tell she was really into it & enjoyed showing us what she did before we sat down for dinner. It was purely a coincidence that both of my grandnieces now have them.  They make really cute & cuddly dogs, they are soft & not difficult to construct. I would purchase it again & highly recommend it to anyone who has a young girl who enjoys doing crafts.
+7844	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter loves this cash register. She loves using the credit card feature and how the buttons make noise. I also have one in my classroom and my kindergartners love it!  Amazon's price is much better then the educational catalogs I've seen it in.
+Not only does this give the classic game a twist L. Frank Baum would be proud of, but the actual gameplay varies from the original set. The Keeper and Creeper cards add extra curves and turns never seen before, as well as plenty of new rules and the introduction of Surprise cards, and fantastic art to boot. I don't find it particularly more or less challenging than the original, just different in a way that's worth the extra cash.
+9546	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Awesome Thanks!
+889	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Great game!  We purchased this as a gift for a family member and enjoyed playing it all together.  It requires strategy but isn't difficult so young people can enjoy it too.  Play time goes by much faster than Settler's of Catan which is nice especially when you're playing with inexperienced or young players.  It's one of our top favorite games.
+9406	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	When I taught Pre-K years ago, I had these in my classroom. Now, as a homeschooling mom of 3, I still love this drum. My 7 month old even enjoys playing this durable drum. I can't say enough about how fun it is to play together as a family of 5! :)
+
+4491	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Better than scrabble if you are not a real competitive scrabble player cuz you each get your own set. A lot of luck of course depending on tiles you get. But works your brain and even some dexterity. Get it.
+2760	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Love our Pete the Cat pupped!  Entertaining, fun, well made.
+Ages: 8 to adult
+2316	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I'm sorry but the other "Elf on the Shelf" just looks scary tome. This guys is perfect. Very friendly looking and has pose-able arms and legs. My kids love him and really enjoyed the story!
+3868	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	The model looks absolutely stunning, but I must admit I am not exactly wowed by the game play. My biggest problem with this craft is how difficult it is to use offensively. By far the most effective means I have found is simply to use it as a battering ram, but because of the annoyingly low shields it cant keep that up for long. The other way is to use the jam action to stress enemy ships and then use the slicer tools to deal damage to stressed ships, but this is annoyingly complicated. Probably the best option for comparison is the imperial assault carrier, witch has a hard point and the nifty effect of actually being able to carry fighters. I suppose the trade off is it is considerably cheaper but if you equip the combat retrofit it cost the same as the imperial carrier. It looks really cool but for me its just been a glorified battering ram.
+What I like about the game is the creative destruction.  Bananagrams is GREAT for helping kids understand "happy accidents."  I have a child who beats himself up over mistakes.  In this game, you have to take apart in order to build.
+This is an excellent product.
+1995	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Cute as a button, great book to read to the kids....everything all neat and tidy in a very sturdy box....love it!!
+We started with Ticket to Ride then moved to the European edition . . .  that seems to be a good transition.  Then tack on some of the Expansion games if you want.
+8884	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I bought this for my 1 year old for Christmas and he loves it !!! It is made very well and has a great tone too!!!
+
+9798	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I set this on the kitchen table for my 3rd grader, along with the addition/subtraction version for my younger daughter  in kindergarten.  Every morning they have fun taking turns quizzing each other.  Seriously, they actually have fun with this every morning!  Maybe it's the competition of being able to answer as many right as possible, maybe it's fun for them to push the buttons, I don't know why and I don't care.  All I care about, is that they are having fun learning their math facts at breakfast!  By the way, don't believe the other reviews that say you can't see the answer when you push the buttons.  I cannot believe people are actually having trouble seeing the answers!  Either they need glasses, or they have the strength of my one year old who can only push the buttons half-way.
+6916	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	It's fun for ages 4 through 42+. ;-) My kids loved setting it up for me to play when they were young; now they're playing it themselves.

+5356	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We love this game!  It makes mom and dad think, but even our seven year old can play.  Our three year old is in charge of doling out the tiles for us, which keeps him entertained while we play.
+Having these charts at your fingertips saves a lot of time leafing through the various books for a quick ruling.  The four panel construction gives GM's room for both a notepad and their maps.  The heavy card stock covers means its very durable and suitable for frequent use.  If you're a GM for a Pathfinder game, and you don't have this screen, my suggestion is that it be the next item on your "To Purchase" list.  Highly recommended.
+1315	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Inspired by Around the World in 80 Days, Ticket to Ride is a blast.  I was impressed with how involved yet laid back the gameplay is.  This is a quietly strategic game that will challenge you to make the right moves at the right time.  The concept is to travel to and from specific destinations, but the key is that no one is aware of where you are going or where you are starting from and the routes to each destination can vary depending on the cards you have in your hand.  You can select multiple routes, which allows you to travel to different destinations at the same time, and while you do get points (visible points) for each route to lay down, you get extra points tallied at the end of the game for each ticket you complete, and because you keep your tickets hidden from other players, no one is aware of how many you have completed and how many points each of your tickets is worth.  In other words, when we played this the other night I was in last place on the board and wound up winning by over 70 points because I had completed far more tickets than anyone else!  This was a blast.
+9617	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	so far so good

+4143	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Over all this thing works great! We just plug it in when we hop in the car and pair a phone with it. We personally use spotify for the music just because it is easy! Hubby has his own playlist and I have my own so we can pick and chose what we want to hear.

+3299	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I got this as a birthday gift for my husband who loves the series and is also a fan of rpg's. It's a very involved game that requires a lot of time and participation. But it is fun and my husband absolutely LOVES it.
+2873	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I bought the Llama along with the book for a family member. She was thrilled when she opened it Christmas day.
+4239	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	"Chrononauts" is another card game by the creators of "<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fluxx/dp/B001NM0QCG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fluxx</a>." The general premise is that you're a time traveler from an alternate timeline (not the history we know, but some alternate history) who has to return home.
+The game components were nice although the very small size of some of the cards stood out immediately. They are still workable for adult hands though. Some of my train pieces were chipped slightly and appeared to have some grime on them, which was odd. Also the game board itself didn't like to lay completely flat on the table.
+Caution - the small plastic coins are definitely potential choking hazards for babies and pets.

+1442	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We got this for our family for Christmas and it was great. The game has a similar feel to Settlers, but isn't quite as cut-throat, so it's easier to get through a game without people feeling frustrated at each other. I can see why this game has won so many awards. I also love that it comes with three extra train pieces of each color so to account for pieces ever getting lost. The only thing we didn't like was that all the cards are very small (about 2 1/2" tall) making it very hard to shuffle them).

As a responsible adult, I really enjoy this game because its really easy to bluff and deceive kids.  Heh, they never see it coming.

Many of the cards have explanatory text that should be read to all players or else they will not follow what is going on, especially if unfamiliar with the game.

You move from left to right and then when you get to the end of the row you move up one space and then move right to left then on the next row you do the opposite again.  The spaces are numbered but it is hard to read and my son obviously cannot follow the higher numbers.  So you end up going one way and then you slide down and you have to go the other way.  It is frustrating for us because we end up getting confused and having to redo the turn because we went the wrong way.

+1. Draw two train cards per turn from either the set of five placed up for all players to see, or blind from the train card deck. (One card if one of the showing wild cards is chosen.)
+This makes for some highly focused deck building strategies.  Now about deck building, this game absolutely shines when you construct your own deck.  It helps mitigate the luck factor.  Certain abilities will allow the runner to expose certain cards so they know what they're running against or if there's a trap on a remote server.  Or an operation will allow the corporation to dig through R&D to pick out just the right ice to protect them from what the runner has installed.  Like with any card game though, you will still have to deal with being lucky.  Getting that 1 card you need or having all of your agendas in your hand but no ice to protect them.

Every game he designed which I have played combine a wonderful mix of accessibility and long term strategy.

It can get a little loud when the older kids all bang on it at the same time, but used in moderation, it's great. The babies like to crawl all over it, drool on it, taste it, and everyone else pounds on it, and it still looks and sounds great. Minor wear and tear on the drum face from so much use and from being dragged in and out of my trunk over and over, but nothing too bad. It's low to the ground, so all of the kids can easily get to it and it's actually a great height for the babies to pull up on and stand. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a drum with a nice, full sound that kids can play. Would probably also work great for adults, I've just never tried that!

+9874	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We bought this tunnel over a year ago for our then-crawling almost-one-year-old. I figured it would encourage her to crawl more, which it did--she loved it!
+5835	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My kids (ages 4-12) just LOVE this book. It's great fun for the older ones, and it's great for learning to count for the younger ones. Great for this homeschooling family!
+The Dunwich Horror is very nice but a tad small (grinning here: a scale model of what Lovecraft went out of his way to not describe would in all likelihood be bigger than the table you are playing on). It was immediately recognizable for what it was from the picture on the box *before* I knew anything else about the expansion and, as I said, was a primary reason for my buying Call of the Wild.
+5755	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	These are some of our favorite Spanish flash cards. Great price too!
+4210	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	The 10-year old looked at it as though he had received smelly socks.  The six-year old thought it was fun.  I'm not sure she completely understands the concept of analogies, but somehow managed to get most of the answers right.  That made the 10-year old want to join in.  As a mom, I love anything that makes them want to learn on their own - even if the motivation is jealousy.
+It's quick and easy to set up and the rules are not complicated.
+7829	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I really like Chutes and Ladders for its educational value. It teaches children how to count to 100 and how to take turns. The pictures on the board also show the difference between cause and effect (ie: you break a dish you have to sweep it up). It is also no so very long although if you get caught up in some parts of the board it can drag on a bit. Still a very fun gave to play. Simple, no reading required.
+3404	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I owned this kit for myself and think the product and instructions are very clear and concise and easy to follow. However I ordered another two for my girls for Christmas and I had to file a claim.against the seller for never shipping the item. Overall the product is great when purchased from a reputable seller. Highly recommend!
+5613	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Love this version of Fluxx. The addition of the Creepers makes for even more fun and changing games.

+That notwithstanding this game harkens back to an age when boardgames were popular and ubiquitous, and so were easy to learn.

+9 out of 10
+4797	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	The organs and bones snap in to hold them in place, problem is it doesn't stay. its such a tight fit, one part snaps in causing a chain reaction of other parts popping out. With these distractions the teaching focus is lost and quickly becomes more a puzzle project than a teaching opportunity; net-net, not a good teaching tool. Its also much smaller than I thought it would be.  We returned it.
+4631	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I have nothing to add to all the exemplary praises of the other reviews, but did want to say that this game arrives in its zipped banana pouch carrier, with no bulky box or packaging.  It's the size of a fat banana, and would fit neatly into a Christmas stocking.
+When my family gets together Quiddler comes out of the box.  We don't have anyone younger than 23 at this point.  I am not sure this game would be fun to play across generations when younger people were involved.  The gaps in vocabulary may be to wide.  But we have a good time when we play.  Our vocabularies are all equally small!  (Except Mom's; she always wins.)
+5281	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	The box for this says that the game includes both a bag and instructions. Neither were present and I don't know how they would have fit it into the box since the tiles *just* fit if laid perfectly flat in three layers.

+9126	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Our family loves uno! We prefer the original cards over the newer version... We like the art work of the original cards. We picked up a deck at the local walmart of the new version and we were very disappointed with the artwork (VERY!)
+And, again, the best feature is that is quickly compresses down to nothing and stores out of the way when play time is over.
+Since we ordered him right before the holiday, he was significantly less expensive. If you didn't get one this year, buy one now so you'll have it for next year. Your kids are guaranteed to love it.

+9289	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	If you do anything besides build a simple circle you will find you need these. We bought two sets of these because of the two innies and two outties pieces. We needed more of those types of pieces. They are absolute musts for any family who enjoys building elaborate train tracks.
+1039	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	fun but overprices
+Anyway this game is a lot of fun, so if you're looking for a new game for your collection I would say definitely give this one a shot.  It will probably become your favorite.
+To give you an idea of the challenge to get started, its literally two large decks of cards and some tokens in the box which could have been made much smaller but for the enormous instruction manual! Be ready to take plenty of time to look up what to do at every turn when beginning but once you get the hang of it you will be thinking about it even when you aren't playing.
+777	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We got this game for Christmas so have only played it a few times so far but it was easy to learn and begin playing.  My 8 and 10 year old kids love it as much as my husband and I.  Our board doesn't lay super flat is my only complaint so the trains tend to slide a little but I'm hoping it will flex more over time.  I definitely recommend it for a fun family game!
+8679	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	great toy for a child with special needs.
+The only problem I have with this beginner game is that it isn't up to par with the full version. I played with friends who had created characters from the full rule book and they were way too powerful for this module.
+721	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	amazing family game for those who are looking for a simple game to play with those old fogeys that won't play anything past monopoly.
+
+3981	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	The base game is really fun to play and a big problem we always had is the dice, but now with these I can support a 6 player game easily.
+
+Instructions-The instructions are four pages.  Not four pages front and back, two pages front and back.  Since the rules are not complex, the rules don't need an epic to teach the players.  I do like the art and pictures that help to teach how to play.  Brevity is the height of wit with these rules. 5/5

+
+5315	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My 5 and 7 year olds love playing this game as do my husband and I.  It is a fun game that you can transport and play anywhere.  Keeping score can be difficult for younger kids so an older child or adult will need to help if a score is going to be kept.  If no score is going to be kept and they are just playing until someone runs out first, then no adult is needed.
+1367	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	One of my favorite games!  It's pretty easy to learn and pick up on, and gets addicting once you get the hang of it.

+This is an excellent family night board game. Put away the electronics, turn off the TV and gather the family together with this fun game.
+
+1905	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We're now on our second elf in four years and the newest model (2014) is made differently than the 2009 or 2010 model we had before.  Why would we need a second elf when we only have one kid you ask?  Well, because the clothing these little elves (demons) wear is not prone to burning off when placed next to a light bulb.  Yes, not a good idea for the elf to hide within a ceiling light fixture because it is a tricky place to find him...when forgetful parents later turn the light on to mop the floor.  The next time our elf moved to a new location in our house, he had a hole in his pants.  So, don't permit these elves to hide near incandescent light bulbs.
+5290	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This game is a great brain-teaser. It's for 2-4 players. My adult family has really enjoyed it. Haven't tried it with kids yet but I think an older child could play easily enough.
+Also I never felt like my character was too good or too weak.  I was a brawler and my opponent was a range hero.  I never felt like I couldn't close the gap, yet at the same time I did notice that there were clear times that I would have to think about how to approach it based off of their movement.  It took about 7 turns for me to actually consider how my opponent was going to move and counter me.  There was a point where I was beating my opponent 20-10, but they quickly turned it around and the game ended with me winning 4-0.  From what I heard from other reviews and players the game is very balanced as long as you stick to the rules and time structure.
+9974	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Best. Gift. Ever.  So cool.
+2931	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Very good size... well made
+4064	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Great addition to my collection!
+appreciate this.
+This drum is the perfect size.  It's large but he can easily carry it around (and does).  The mallets are soft rubber and despite his enthusiastic drumming, the sound is mellow, low, and not obtrusive.  It's much more pleasant to the ear.  The drum is excellent quality and holds up well in a classroom-type environment, so I expect this will last a long time.
+6623	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Never tired of this game!
+
+6330	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	When I received this order I found that I had two Rins instead of having a Len and then they expect me to pay for shipping to return this item when this was their mistake in the first place!!! Because of their mistake I am now stuck with an incomplete Vocaloid set! Besides from that the box was in terrible condition when I received it and some of the Vocaloid characters are terribly painted to where it looks like they are faded such as Luka's hair which is more of a lavender than a bright pink and Miko's hair was blonde instead of brown. Horrible customer service and horrible item; I will never buy from this company ever again and I recommend everyone to do the same.
+Intrigue:
+6015	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is a great solid game for ADULTS!  So many are too easy and you lose interest very quickly.  That is not the case here.  At first , the rules almost seem overly complicated.  But, after you read them and then actually play it becomes fairly easy to negotiate or thug your way through the game.  Whether you are a fan of the show are a board game fan - this game has many twists and turns and I don't see it getting boring anytime soon.  It even has an added more complex way to play to change it up a bit, just in case you might consider getting bored.  You can play this with 3 or 4 players or 3 or 4 teams depending on your flexibility.  You can mix and change it up a bit as you go to your liking.  But, overall the game involves 6 rounds and has 6 stages within the rounds.  At the end of the 6 rounds, the player or team with the most money wins the game.  This is a game that involves negotiating, bluffing, back stabbing & a bit of strategy to come out ahead.  This is just like the TV show really!
+GAME PIECES
+8085	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Same game I enjoyed as a child.
+Instead of Candyland, I'd reccommend a game with some level of skill involved - Memory, or Froggy Boogie, perhaps.
+That is not good or bad; it just is.  There are some Pros to that.  If you are looking for a game that allows you to tap into the popularity of Star Wars, but you do not want to be constrained by "Star Wars canon" then this game offers a huge benefit over past incarnations of Star Wars RPGs (SWRPGs).
+3874	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This is one of the most impressive ships in the fleet.  The detail is excellent with varied coloring to add emphases.
+7879	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	My guys love to play with it but I got it too soon for them.  The biggest issue has been the paper money.  It wrinkles and tears very easily.  By the time, they can really play with it and somewhat understand, that paper money will be history.  Love that it is solar powered though!
+My son is two and he loves to color. The idea that not only could both of my kids color the same page (and multiple times) was perfect because they wouldn't have to fight over pictures. I was also excited about the app for my two year old because as toddlers do, sometimes they don't color just in their coloring books. This combined two of his favorite things, the tablet and coloring, but without the little masterpieces to clean off the walls and furniture later.

+8111	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Finally, the real thing.  My kids got the newer version that didn't have the cards, and was so simple.  I couldn't figure out (remember) the purpose of the game.  This one is challenging and it is a game rather than a task.

+If you combine both Undermountain and Skullport in the same game, you have to remove 12 buildings, 30 quests, and 25 intrigue cards from the base game to accommodate all the expansion stuff. That'd be fine--once--but the rules want you to do it every time you play by randomizing which base set bits are removed. I'm not sure I can imagine only playing with one set after trying both, so maybe the best solution in this case is just to yank all the crappiest stuff out of the base set once and never use them again. Also, when the game is prepped for using both sets next time, neither the new storage tray or base set hold the combined buildings and cards properly, resulting in unsightly sprawl with loose cards floating around and a bunch of buildings having to be split between both boxes--which sucks.

+The gameplay is deep, but the concept is simple. One player is the corporation, the other is the hacker. The job of the corporation is to introduce and complete various corporate agendas. The job of the runner is to hack in and "steal" these agendas. Each side has tools to make their job easier. The corporation can use various cards like a firewall to protect their servers, and the runner has programs and hardware designed to break through them. The game goes so much deeper than I can describe here. Suffice it to say that this is a very rich game, with many layers of strategy and tactical decision making that will bring hours of enjoyment even when you aren't playing.

For example, you can learn as you go, playing the basic game, but then create other goals for yourself during the game to balance your game play with the others at the table.
+It takes minimal storage space, which can be outside because it is easy to clean.  The molded plastic is strong and does not come apart.  The colors are bright, and even the ones in the play yard had not faded.  5 stars for durability.
+5961	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Production: Harbour shares an artist with another game from this publisher, Belfort. You get the same style of whimsical, funny fantasy characters. but I think there is more artwork here since each card is different. Many of the cards have clever flavor text that compliments the artwork.  The cards, box and all the pieces are great quality.

+9761	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This was an immediate hit in our house.  We have 3 little girls... a 3 year old and one year old twins.  This tunnel is hours of fun.  I just leave it out in our play room all day and they laugh and scream and play in the tunnel throughout the day.  They laugh with each other play hide n seek and other games together.  It really helps teach sharing and taking turns.  The see through mess windows makes my girls laugh and laugh and laugh.  The material is very sturdy.  It has been put to the test by these three.  The padding on the rings is not super soft or cushion like, but it is fine.  This is a simple idea that keeps every entertained.  Love the color.  Easy to fold up and put away. Fits in Pacific Play tent but does not have an attachment where it stays securely.

+One thing to watch out for, in my opinion, is that the original USA edition is initially fun but that fun can turn to frustration once you realize the easiest way to win is to just build the long northern routes. That problem is corrected with the 1910 Expansion by providing new route tickets, a new way to score bonus points, and two variants: Big Cities and USA Mega-Game -- the Mega-Game uses everything in the expansion set and is my favorite way to play Ticket To Ride: USA). However, I still prefer the maps and additional challenges (like building ferries and tunnels) that are provided by the Europe and Marklin editions.

The book comes inside a resuable box/cover and an attached box for the elf to be placed in after each Christmas.  This elf looks friendly and he's bendable so he can be placed in different stances and do all sorts of fun things!  This book has colorful graphics and was a good purchase.

+6610	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This game works great with kids, although I'll admit I've had plenty of fun playing with my own age group. It's all luck with the only strategy coming from which piece you want to move. But I've still had plenty of fun, although it can get frustrating not being able to roll a 6 (which you can try and fix with house rules). My suggestion is to make sure you have all the pieces kept in a plastic bag because they are very easy to lose, especially if kids are playing. I haven't had any trouble with the bubble (excuse the pun), and it works just fine. You always have the option of using a different die, but the best part of the game is popping that bubble! The best feeling is when you get sweet revenge by bumping back a player to start. I would get the game it's heaps of fun!
+144	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	If I could give this egg zero stars I would. It is poorly made and rudiculously hard to open. What should be a tender moment spent with your children is a huge headache.

+The hero cards (8 included in the base game, and 8 more available in the Hero Booster Pack #1) in the game are printed on good card stock and each of the cards has really nice artwork.  Each hero card is double sided (one side is a Novice side and the other side is the Master side) and abilities change when flipped over.  I am disappointed that they didn't take the opportunity to provide the hero slightly differently on the Master side as each side has the same artwork of the hero.  They could have changed to pose of the hero, or add armor, or something.  The game also includes 4 reference cards to help remind players what each face of the die do and what treasure tokens can be obtained with their special purpose.

If you are woeful, and you might be your first time, then if the shoe fits

+Overall my kids and I enjoy both using this board for education purposes (they spell their spelling words on it) and for an actual fun game of scrabble.  I just wish the tiles actually locked into place. Seems like a simple adjustment to the design could have achieved this.
+6081	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Playing board games has been my hobby for about 40 years.  I began playing them when I discovered the bookcase games in the late 1960s.  The intricate strategy games have always interested me, which is why this one intrigued me.  It's a well designed game that will appeal to just about anyone.  The fact that they offer beginner and advanced rules will provide a rich playing experience for all levels of gamers.  In the basic game, you shift gears to roll dice that allow for higher numbers and more spaces moved on each turn.  Players have to slow down to allow for stopping a certain number of times in turns.  Not slowing down enough will cause damage to your engine and damage points are taken away, so there is a small element of strategy even in the beginner's game - not enough to make it difficult, but enough so that it's not just roll and move.  In the advanced game, the rules allow for a lot more strategy.  You have to account for tire and engine wear, weather conditions, and much more.  It's a great strategy game for those who love that sort of experience.  I played a lot of Strat-o-matic Baseball and Civilization, so I know what an intricate and rich strategy experience is like, and this game has it in spades.  The artwork and components are really impressive and there are a ton of tracks that can be purchased, so the re-playability is endless.  Leagues can also be made for true racing fans.  This game is a re-release of another version called Formula De.  It had a ton of tracks made for it and they all work with this version, so this opens a world of opportunities.  This is a true classic!
+Overall, this is a great game!  I recommend it to people who enjoy fun board games that require good strategies.
+Dragon Phase: If there have been 3 Dragon Dice rolled then the current adventurer must battle the Dragon! The adventurer can only defeat the Dragon if they have 3 different companions to battle it with. If there are not 3 Dragon Dice, skip this phase.

+8060	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	There is a reason nearly every child owns or has at least played Candy Land at least once. Its a classic. It's easy to learn & small children can join in the fun because they don't need to know how to count or read. If they can identify colors, they can play. We had a Candy Lane game for our first grandchild. She lives 2 hours away. She enjoyed the game so much, we let her take it home. This game is going to remain at Nana's house so all of the grandchildren, as well as Nana :) can enjoy the game.
+4351	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	It is a great game for kids and adults alike.  Comes in a fun banana sac.  Can't go wrong with this if you are into these types of games.  This is a word-game classic like Scrabble or Boggle.  Pieces are solid and seem like they will hold up for years.  The handy pouch they come in seems sturdy enough to also hold up for years of fun.  This is a family game night favorite in our house.
+There really aren't spoilers to the show.  The theme, names, and locations align, but you can play the game without needing to have seen the show or worrying that it will ruin the show.

+6178	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Quite suprised with the quality of this RC. At this price point I really expected a toy RC. This has proved to be very capable and have provided me and my family quite a bit of fun. 1st off a little bit of my background, as you can see from the picture I own some legit "brand name" RC's HPI, Traxxas, Losi (pictured and others not in the photo.  That being said, at this price point this is really a great crawler. I emailed the vendor and added 4 wheel steering (ridiculously easy and dirt cheap). This was bought to basically drag dog toys around to wear my wife's Pekingese out indoors. It's been used for quite a bit more than that and has performed very well. I only had one small issue the set screws holding the front and rear hubs onto the axles worked loose. Luckily we found the one that fell out and I removed all 4 and applied some Loctite and tightened. That will never happy again. If your looking for a quality vehicle at a "toy" price point look no further. For some extra fun grab an extra battery or two (3800 mah or above) and a Tenergy universal smart charger and your seriously set up for endless run times and a lot of fun

+5155	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Fun game, though the fact that tiles are non-unique detracts some from the elegance and there are probably too many tiles overall (might be worth sorting and playing with a subset sometimes). It's not a serious enough strategy game that I want to play one long game instead of multiple short ones. It will scale well with number of players (though it becomes less strategic with more, of course), which is a great trait.

+First, the Commander. Despite his authoritative name, he never really gets to feel like he's in charge. This feels like a missed opportunity somewhat. The Commander is responsible for dispatching interceptors (fighter craft) to attack UFOs over the map. He controls a few of XCOM's perks, and most importantly controls the budget. Near the beginning of every timed round, he is told how many credits XCOM has available and is responsible for pulling them out. This is the only time the app clearly needs to give just a few more seconds to the player. I kept my credit pool stacked neatly in stacks of 5 (it comes with 29... don't go crazy trying to find your missing one), and I still nearly ran out of time when it told me I had 13 credits in the budget. The Commander can also dip into XCOM's limited cash reserves, and has a special "asset" card given by what continent XCOM HQ is placed in, a location which is assigned by the application. Every unit the team places on the board, whether Soldier, Scientist, Satellite, or Interceptor, costs XCOM 1 credit. Ostensibly, the players communicate with the Commander about how much they really need from the budget. Go over budget, and you accelerate your march to losing the game. Ultimately, though, the Commander has no real say over how many units other people place on the board. He can tell the Chief Scientist that we can only afford two scientists this round, be completely ignored, and have the game lost. Teamwork is important, but it feels like "Commander" should mean something.

Later in the day, they played for another hour by themselves.

+1351	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	This game is ok for what it is. It is a simple game where you try and get multiple cards of the same color, to match up with the corresponding colors on the routes on the map. You score points for going from one city to another, scoring more for larger routes. You draw "destination cards" that have 2 cities on them, and if you connect them you score bonus points. The game consists of players making their own routes longer, or blocking other players. Not very much to it, and it is really annoying when 5 turns go by and you never get the cards you need. There is a decent amount of strategy in this game, but it is nowhere near as fun as Power Grid, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, or 7 Wonders. I have tried to enjoy this game, because the hype must come from somewhere, but to no avail. If you want to begin getting into fun board games that are not too difficult, but better than monopoly or sorry that you grew up with, I would recommend 7 Wonders or Carcassonne.
+This particular version of Magnetic Poetry makes a great little "thinking of you" gift for someone who needs some cheering up, some encouragement, some soul-hugging comfort. Using this kit with the kit that comes with the stand allows for more expression, creativity, and interaction.

The price on Amazon was very reasonable; even better than the crafts stores with their discount coupon.
+All in all, I think it was a cool experiment. Kind of expensive, so it was a special treat. I don't think it was anything we did that made them "special" since in the 2- 2.5 weeks it took from arrival to butterflies, we were out of the house for more then half that time. The other times, it was on a dresser drawer away from the kids.  She likes to look at them Occassionally, and I would hold her up to see them, but she wasn't that interested as it was just a chrysalis for the most part, but when they emerged to become butterflies, she was super excited and got to watch so that in itself was worth it.
+My only complaint is the packaging and expansion packs.  The packaging is cute, but hinders the rapid setup and play in my opinion.  Storing components and retrieving components is awkward.  The theme of reaching into a treasure chest is excellent.  Perhaps if they used a tray to store the other components.  I would rather have seen a regular box used for storage.  The chest is just awkward.

It is **Fun **Challenging **A great way to spend time together **Easier yet more challenging than Scrabble!  As a Scrabble lover, I understand that it can be frustrating for younger cutie pies to keep up without getting frustrated (with Scrabble).  This game has a similar premise: creating a grid by building or adding onto rows - in this game: of color or shape.  Starting a new row or finding a way finish an existing row of shapes or color ("Qwirkle!") really makes you use your thinker BUT it's very fun so the mental challenge is greatly rewarded with lots of smiles and high-fives :)  We have yet to use the scoring system...  We just like the challenge of tile arranging!
+89	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This is much harder than it looks especially when you have to make the legs and trim the face. To make a good Pom Pom puppy you need an old movie an awesome mama and last allot of coffee. I made a Pomeranian and it was so cute (I did this with my mom and we were watching singing in the rain with a good conversation topic) the next one looked like a mess ( I did this one by myself ) so if you like a good challenge than this is for you but if you switch from making bracelets too writing reviews ( like me ) than you just might need more help than you think. You can make up to 2-4 . You have to use thick yarn thin won't work ( it comes with 4 things of yarn ) . So if you can handle hours of trimming and cutting than get your scissors out, if you have to have a partner than pull 2 pairs out just remember it's hard work and it's so long.

It is simple enough to explain in less than 5 minutes but compelling enough to keep you coming back for more again and again.  As a side note I would highly recommend that you buy the 1910 expansion with it since it provides 36 additional destination cards and reprints the originals to a more manageable size.

(You'll actually be able to downgrade your cable connection, just because "Quiddler" is more fun, relaxing, and entertaining.)  A good raucous game of "Quiddler" is pretty quiet. You'll be too busy checking spellings in your dictionary, switching cards around to stimulate new words into your brain, be anticipating the next possible letter that you might draw, making decisions, and plotting your strategy.  But best of all, this is a game that a person of 12, 30, 50, 80, 90, or a 100 years old can all play together.  Everybody can win.  Everybody has fun.  And everybody will have more energy when it is over than when they started.  You might want to maintain your health, so that you can be your best at "Quiddler". It will show in your score. One Tip, the game changes in speed and enjoyment according to the number of players that you have.

Unfortunately, the first roller had moved three quarters of the way around the board before getting a question wrong.  And that was only because that person lost an "all play" which is really the only way to end a turn in this new game.

+8555	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We taught our 5 yr old daughter the game "31" right before buying this game. It just so happens that this is backwards "31" but with blind cards in your hand and power cards to let you peek, swap, or draw 2. Too complicated? Not at all! It just brings the game to a whole new level with strategy and memory. I'm pretty addicted to it myself! Could use it at an grown-up party with chips or money thrown in the pot when you lose a hand, just for a twist on the normal euchre or poker party.

+8790	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Little ones love this car.  My three-year-old companion and I were at her playgroup.  There were two of these little cars among the toys, and we played with one.  I would pull her to the top of the small incline and let the car go.  She drove it and actually did try to avoid hitting other kids.  Soon a young boy joined us, and they were racing down the incline -- at which time I did not have to ferry the car up in order that she could go down.  They played together until they drew too much attention from other children who then wanted to race the cars too.  There is very little that is more delightful than hearing a child's laughter;  the play yard was filled with giggles.  (5 stars for enjoyment and education.)
+these awesome blocks
+But there was a bit of bad too.  First of all the game is long and my first play was made even longer (approaching 5 hours!) by players asking too many questions and taking too much time to take a handful of actions (especially one player in particular).  It's funny because I don't balk at spending 5+ hours playing video games and RPGs but I've figured out that's because I'm constantly doing something.  That's 5+ hours of pretty constant activity.  In this game I timed it and there were instances where I alone was waiting 30 minutes just for my next action which took a couple of seconds.  30 minutes of doing nothing is brutal and when it happens every round it wears on you.

+This mat is made of a rubbery bottom with a glued piece of fabric with a starfield pattern, the star wars logo on a corner. Think of it as a thinner gigantic mousepad.  Being 36"x36" it is not very portable, unless you want to spend more money on a poster tube. I have use it for about one month and a half, about 10 games and so far it holds fine. My earliest concerns were that the fabric would unglue with time, specially in the corners, as it would be expected of a mousepad with time. So far this has not happened. It has affected my gaming experience positively. I usually took a lot of time to set the play area in the right dimensions and even used a felt cloth as mat sometimes but it would move a lot. This stays in place, so it makes the game easier, reduces the time to setup and is tournament regulation so it helps when running scenarios. It also looks cool to play on it.  I would recommend it to anyone who is committed to this game or even to Armada. It works for both games.

+4141	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	A very well designed game that will make Magic players feel right at home due to many similar mechanics. Turns basically consist of choosing a plot (from a deck of 7) that determines gold for resources, turn order, and hand size for the turn; next, drawing cards, then purchasing characters, locations, and attachments; and finally, attacking the opponent in three ways: military. intrigue, and power - each with unique benefits. Who ever scores 15 power first wins. If playing with 3 to 6 players, titles from the series are also included, such as Hand of the King, that also mix things up a bit.

+2526	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	Based on the name "Tile Lock Scrabble" I thought the tiles would actually lock in place, perhaps lightly snap on to the board, but these tiles don't lock on at all.  Instead there are little raised dots on the corners of each square on the board.  Each tile has indentations molded into the corners.  You place a tile on the board and it rests between the dots.  The deluxe edition scrabble board has bezels between the squares that serve pretty much the same purpose as the dots do on this one (but it's twice as much as this one.)  The instructions say that the tiles will stay in place even if the board is tilted, which is absolutely true, but they will not stay in place if the board is bumped or jostled even a little.  The slightest bump and the tiles dance right off their squares.
+In theory, the game would teach a toddler to wait his/her turn, how to match colors to move along the path, and then the important life lesson about winning/losing and still having fun.

+What I'm trying to say is that I enjoy the IDEA of Fluxx a little better than I enjoy the actual game.  It's chaotic, and difficult to keep track of what's going on at any given time.  I understand that's supposed to be part of the appeal of the game, but unless everyone has played the game before, you end up having to teach the game to a new person every single game, which ends up slowing everyone down and sapping a lot of the fun.

+Monty Python Fluxx and Zombie Fluxx--which to choose? A tough call. Zombie Fluxx's gameplay makes it more possible for someone to win in a wild combination of moves that requires a lot of forethought--or just plain dumb luck. Monty Python Fluxx's gameplay is more straightforward. In that, it may actually be the more mental game. Shrewd gameplay rewards players more often than in Zombie Fluxx. Still, the even better question may be, Why not buy both and shuffle the decks together? Indeed, what could be better than going after the Killer Rabbit with a chainsaw? Or dispatching a quartet of zombies with Excalibur? Talk about making tasty brains hurt!

+Also during the Monster Phase, you can activate your hero's ability or ultimate ability, you can use treasure tokens, or you may use any Scrolls that you have.  Scrolls allow you to re-roll any of the dice (party and dungeon).  Once all the monsters are removed from play, the player can then continue on to the Loot Phase where players can open chests or quaff potions.  It is always optional to open chests or quaff potions.  While players may not always want to open chests or quaff potions, each one of these rolled means one less monster (or possible dragon).  If you choose to open a chest using your dice, then you can gain a treasure token at random (these can be really useful!).  If you quaff a potion (even your scrolls can do this), then you can bring a party die back from the "graveyard" (the place where your used party dice end up) and you get to choose what face you want to use.

+The bottom line: Eminent Domain is certainly indebted to its respected ancestors, such as Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, and Glory to Rome, and unmistakably bears their influence in its design, in terms of the deck-building and role-selection mechanics, and also the space theme that it shares with Race for the Galaxy. But this blend of mechanics and influences does result in a product that is quite different from anything we've seen before, and allows it to stand on its own despite being constructed on a foundation that is largely derivative. If you enjoy these other titles, there's a very good chance you'll love the card-play and dynamics of Eminent Domain enough for it to earn a place in your collection on the basis of its own merits. - EndersGame @ BGG
+3797	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	The learning curve for this one may turn some people off but the payoff is a very deep, well thought out experience. While the theme with a lot of games feels a bit "thrown in," it permeates this one and you really start believing you're in this futuristic world of hacker vs. corporation. You're probably going to keep the rulebook nearby for your first bunch of games, and thank goodness for being able to search cards/rules online quickly during a match, but it always feels fun and the more you get used to gameplay the more fun it becomes. While there's obviously some luck involved because it is a card game, your decisions are what will get you those tasty Agenda cards and ultimately victory. It's surprising how many actions you can perform on a turn, and while it feels like very few actions are ever wasted, it never feels so tense that it stops being anything short of a great time. I've never played an asymmetric card game or had an experience like this and I absolutely love it. I look forward to many more games and exploring some of the expansions.

The other reviews are true, it's like dominoes and scrabble, but I thought it was a lot like the card game Set as well. It's got that same "everything has to match or everything has to be different" element to it that makes it more challenging. And since it's turn based, there's still that competitive element of hoping that your opponent doesn't see/take the opening that you see and plan on using. Really fun game, and yet really simple design. I like that the little squares are not super cheapie, so the game should last a long time.

+2143	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	We have large family gatherings at Thanksgiving and Christmas and I thought Party Gras would be a fun sitting around the living room kind of game, and it is.
+I typically recommend playing once as each side in a sitting.  There are also a few tweaks which can be used to make the game easier or more challenging including a variant game.  You can leave your discards facing up in a row so the opponent can see which cards you no longer have, or you can discard face down relying on their memory.  Same goes for characters defeated in battle, you can leave them exposed or turn them upside down.
+It is a very good RC helicopter.

+4646	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	Being a retired teacher, I was excited to buy this for my granddaughter because she was very interested in how the body works. We had fun going through the book and reading the information as we extracted the parts. We did have trouble opening the skull, but it did open. The frustrating part came when we tried following the directions to put it back together. We still haven't been able to get the hips to stay together. The sticky organs are fun, except when you are trying to put them back in order. Their stickiness becomes a con. After the excitement of operating the first time, we've only used it one more time because it's too hard to reassemble it!  Also, I think the hips are defective. The "pro" of this toy is the book and information for the body parts as the child operates.

+4815	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Despite the age recommendation that this is for an 8yo, we bought it for my 5yo daughter because she loves her "bones book" and is pretty good about repeating back the right words for bones and organs.  Plus the "squishy" nature of the organs makes her laugh.  The pieces are a little flimsy though, and some of the bones don't snap back into the plastic "body shell" like they should, and they fall out.  Overall it's a good learning tool and she loves it.

+917	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	So glad I bought this game! have to say that Ticket to Ride has become an ultimate favorite for us. As far as I am concerned, even when I lose it's a blast! It's so much fun plotting to get your stations connected, and those of you who are particularly cut-throat can look for ways to cut off your opponents from getting the most direct route to connect theirs. For me, this is one of the best board games ever. There's no just tossing dice and moving a little piece around a board, and it can move quickly, so you have to be always thinking ahead to how you can best make your connections. Totally recommended for friends and families!

The tiles can be used over and over in different combinations without seeming familiar.  There are a good variety of generic tiles that will not make a person think "Oh, I've seen that rock formation in the last encounter."  However, there are also some unique tiles that give players a sense of importance when they see it.  With the right settings and plot, you could run an entire campaign with just this kit.  It should be noted, however, that this works great in conjunction with the other Master Sets (I personally use the dungeon set as well) to expand your settings.

These D&D games are so much fun because it truly is a "system" of sorts. You will end up having a ton of little figurines (sadly not painted the way some other games have them, but then again you get so many of it it only makes sense!), a bajillion little tokens, and an amazingly well illustrated rulebook, along with a really good collection of scenarios to play (a lot of 'em!).

+I hate to tell you what to do but
+The biggest criticism I have for this game (and really any game with this feature) is that once you are killed there's nothing left for you to do but watch the game finish out.  It's not as bad in Wiz-War because the games are reasonably short, even with 4 players, but I still think it's a crappy mechanic.

Honestly, I think it's more fun if you have 3-5 players because there's more potential for your planned routes to be disrupted. When you play a computer, it's not really out to get you, I don't think... people, however, are often out to get you. You know your true friends when they relish the thought of purposefully foiling your perfect train route.

The same holds true for any adult player.  It hasn't taken more than six lines to solve any given puzzle.  However, my 7 year old loves it and is a bit more challenged, but will probably conquer the strategy pretty soon.  Still, a classic game with classic, good family fun.  I would buy it again and it was more appropriately priced at $[...].  The only drawback we've seen is that the colors of the pegs were kind of "off", as in not classic colors and they don't all fit in their storage area so they fall out when trying to store away.

The previous Dungeon Command faction packs (Cormyr, Lolth, Goblins and Undead) all featured old miniatures, although many of those creatures have new color schemes.  To some tabletop RPG enthusiasts, the miniatures alone will be well worth buying this pack.  They are EXTREMELY well designed models with VERY nice paint.

However, most serious Rook players enjoy the complexities that are learned throughout the years. What to play and when - how to guess what cards others players have - counting trumps and off-suits ...and so on. If you have never played this all may sound foreign, but you will catch on quickly.

(And we all know gnomes aren't submarine specialists) Over the course of the game you and your friends will be frantically running around your little submarine pumping out flooded rooms, disarming nuclear bombs, putting out fires (and possibly getting drunk in the process - because alcohol makes a gnome brave), etc. - just to watch as additional rooms burst into flames, fill with water, have the engine break down, or be attacked by a kraken.

Now the game tells you when you want to use a sideboard or not (or you can choose the adventure or opponent that uses it) so you are not overwhelmed with expansions.  Each expansion shows up to give your games a unique flavor.  We just love the new preludes, and while it seems that they give you an added advantage, in our games at least, that is only an illusion - our win loss ratio has not changed.  In fact,  we beleive the extra "boost" that sometimes the prelude cards give is more of a "false hope" as the doom we are prearing to face is even worse then we orignally believed.

So I thought why not add track now?  Brio track from 34 years ago still works with today's track.

We even brought this game out during a family & friend get-together, where most of them are not gamers by any sense of the definition.

+We laughed so hard that we could barely draw new cards.  Several parts of our submarine caught on fire, we dealt with a few floods, and one of our players became a drunken, staggering gnome as we desperately tried to find him a cup of coffee as an antidote.  Some people might be offended at the fact that the gnomes drink beer, but it isn't really the focus of the game. The gnomes have 4 hit-points (lives/health points) and each beer they drink takes 1 away from their points.  If he has a beer, drinking it gives the gnome an advantage to repair certain "problems" that arise throughout the game.  Besides, it made the storyline very funny.

Yeah she gets mad if she gets sent home and has to start over, but being able to lose is also another skill she needs to learn.  I don't let my kids play with this game without parental supervison. The pieces are small and could be easily lost.  And also the quality of this game is not like I remember it being when I was a kid.  If it's played with roughly it will probably break.

+8745	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This toy was purchased by me for my work as a child and family therapist. In teaching relaxation to children this toy allows me to illustrate deep breathing with a fun visual aid that will keep the kids paying attention and allow them to place their hands on something at the same time. This is often important when teaching children. They tend to be easily distracted and uninterested in learning some of the skills that are needed for their  treatment. This toy expands out and I use this to talk about breathing in deeply and filling your lungs up with air. When breathing out the ball can then be contracted and go back to normal size. The kiddos are fascinated with the colors and how big it can get and it provides some sensory feedback and "hands on" work that I find is so helpful when engaging children in skill building. Even if it wasn't used for this purpose its very amusing and fun to look at and play with for all ages.

Compared to the first edition, the mechanics seem slightly simpler although this game is by no means easy to pick up. Even having played the first edition, it took us two "demo" games to really get in the groove. The instructions give a step-by-step demo game with decks to use for this (it's a 2 person duel, not a melee). This was helpful although the decks given are quite small and it's easy to run out of cards.

+1083	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My wife and I absolutely love this game! It is very easy to learn and play, but there is an opportunity for deep strategy. The concept is simple: collect cards and build trains to connect destinations using those matching cards. You can choose to connect the destinations that will give you the most points, choose the routes that give you the most points, or try and block your opponent from reaching their destinations. This game can be learned in a matter of minutes and is very fun to play over and over again. The game board and parts are made of quality materials and I expect this game to last for a long time.
+Let's take a look at the physicality of what you get for your fifty bones (yeah, it's pricey, but it's most definitely worth it). The box is that nice textured linen. Those always make me feel like the game is classier. I don't know if that really helps the box hold up over time, but it seems like it does. Opening it up, there's tons of thick, four color counters to punch and sort, tons of cards, both large (normal playing card) size and small (think original Ticket to Ride card) size to sort, and character and Great Old One cards. And the behemoth, six-panel board has a nice finish, too. The box has a molded plastic insert that will do fine in storing the myriad components once they are let loose from their cardboard forms, but there won't be a whole lot of room left to spare. I added a small velvet bag to use as a monster cup, and that was pushing it. The artwork is astounding and in very good keeping with the game's artistic gestalt. Fantasy Flight Games does this very, very well, for the most part, and Arkham Horror is no exception. In fact, I think they raised their own bar with this game in particular in reference to Artistic Direction, as everything they put out after this game seemed to me to be a notch higher than games they put out before. Kudos. Every piece of the art, from the box to the manual to the monster tokens to the iconography on the backs of the item cards are all part of a cohesive and consistent whole, which, given the sheer number of different items in this game, is a feat of no small merit. I believe this artistic gravity was achieved in part by re-appropriating the excellent art that was developed over previous years for use in the very good Call of Cthulhu card game. Some people don't like being "sold the same art twice", but it was a very good call by the folks at FFG. It keeps the prices down for us, creates that gestalt, brand gravity, and cohesion, and allows them to make the game maybe a little more profitable than if they had had to consign all new art. So, again, I tip my hat to the folks at FFG for making some excellent decisions regarding the look and feel of this game. It truly is a very well done whole, with every component visually reinforcing each other. Art-wise, every game should be so complete.

+There are the plastic miniatures: four new investigators and a fistful of new critters including the aforementioned Dunwich Horror and Dark Young of Shub Niggurath. These are unpainted as usual, but of singular quality of casting and very evocative conception.
+The game is fairly flexible in terms of the number of players it can accommodate, but somewhere between 2-5 is probably best. If you stick to those numbers, a game will usually take around 15-30 minutes. (unlike the Zombies set, 2 player games are actually quite fun).
+The non-stick coating is on the inside as well as the outside -- a nice touch. Both pans have handles, which are attached to the sides of the pans via rivets (they're not just spot-welded), which are *NOT* coated with the nonstick coating.  This means that some food can stick to these rivets on the inside of the pan.  It's a small inconvenience, though, when you consider the quality of these pans.

However the board is very appealing to look at and the game play is excellent. It is interesting and complex enough to keep adults and kids entertained. It seems to be the right amount of challenge for my son and he loves the idea of getting his friends and family safely through the storm and helping them run their errands.

+So, if you are at the end of your rope for game night with the kids, spend a few bucks and try this one.  It looks like it's going to have nine lives in my family.
+Tried playing a 3p long game with both expansions, and it tripled the game time to almost four hours, but it (mostly) flew by. Part of the length was because we were learning the new rules and freaking out over the expansion's super-powered new stuff, partly chatting, and one of the players suffers from "analysis paralysis" big time, with the other two having milder cases. Pretty sure the game would have only doubled in length if we were less chatty and more familiar with the expansions.

+Before I bought actual the product, I learned that the box had a level 1 adventure included.  Well, it turned out that it wasn't long enough for it to move on to the next level.  Then I learned about the free wonderful little adventures called "Beginner's Box Bash Demos" provided by Paizo.  Very good stuff, I must admit, yet they are just a bit more than a taste of how a (short) excellent level 1 adventures should be, and it wasn't anything like (length wise) the entire adventure provided by the box itself.

+The copters are made from a mostly metal frame which give it some weight and a sturdy feel.  The weight is enough to make their motions predictable (but a little muted.  The frame also helps them survive sudden loss of power (which happens often when you are a beginner).  I like that the throttle is not spring-loaded to drop to 0 if you let go.  Earlier models had a controller that required you to hold the throttle at the desired position (maybe as a safety feature?).  This one has a smooth throttle that stays where you put it even if you take your thumb away.  Its easy to take off and hover...giving you a moment to get your bearings before flying it around the room.

+The rules of Quiddler are simple -- everyone's dealt three cards, then someone draws a card, then discards another.  The play continues around the table until someone is able to assemble all three cards in their hand into a word, then goes out.  Everyone else gets one more turn to draw and discard and try to make words from their hands, then points are tallied up (with any remaining cards resulting in deducted points).  The next round is the same but with four cards, then five, all the way up to ten.  High score wins!

The paint is stamped on pretty messy, so on some the raised letter doesn't line up with the paint quite right. The paint easily chips off of the textured sides. Also, several of the blocks have huge cracks in the wood that go down an entire side of the block, nearly cutting it in half. This makes them hard to stack and also makes me worry about splintering in the future. I would not buy these again or recommend them.

+The dividers for the pieces isn't as robust as the original and in fact mine came broken.  The color of the cards is slightly different on the back, not too different that they would be noticed from a distance.  The Lords for the expansion are very difficult to get the bonus points with.

My two-year-old son, who loves all the Otis books right now, received this stuffed Otis for Christmas, and he loves it. He often asks to hold Otis during reading time or sleep with Otis at night. It is perfectly sized for a two-year-old child; my son can comfortably carry it around in one arm. However, prospective buyers should note that this Otis is all soft. That's great if your child wants to sleep with it, but the wheels do not turn and it does not roll. When my son first got it, he wanted it to act as a normal toy tractor so he tried to push it across the floor a few times, and he was frustrated that it wouldn't "work." When we explained that it was for cuddling and story time, though, he caught on and now loves Otis as a "stuffed animal" rather than as a toy automobile.
+Turns out I needn't have worried - both of my *very* picky cats took to Pet Promise immediately and ended up liking it so well that they stopped being very interested in their soft/wet food, which was a complete reversal of behavior for one of them - she had pretty much refused to eat her hard food and lived for her daily soft food feeding. The other cat, who has never really been interested by food now gets very upset when his bowl is empty - even if he's not eating at the moment, he just likes to know that there's Pet Promise in his bowl.
+So if your looking for a great family game for game night then look no further..
+If you want to get a feel for how it plays, I recommend the mobile App version of the game.  We purchased it shortly after the board game, and every member of the family loves it, and uses it to hone their game when on the go.  We took the board game to the grandparent's house last weekend, and we had 2 kids, 1 parent and 2 grandparents all playing together, with the kids showing the grandparents how to play.  Playing with 5 players added a new level of strategy to it for sure!

The set encourages creativity and helps develop those fine motor skills. The activity book and stylus crayon come together and you can download app for free.  The stylus looks like a real crayon and is great for little hands. It's a spongy material so it's not going to scratch up your devices. The only downside I've discovered is that it seems a little too large to be used on smart phones with the smaller screens. It's best used on tablets. The photos on the pages are large and fun to color. Each page has a QR code at the top that you can scan with your tablet or mobile device and your child can color that picture using their stylus as many times as they like. When they are done, they can share their masterpiece with family using the share button in the app. Your kids can also color in the book and use the app to scan their colored page. Once scanned, their artwork from the page is transfered to the app for them to finish coloring on the go! It's perfect for road trips or at the doctors office to keep them occupied.

+Given that there are also ways to lose along the way (in fact, it is quite possible you'll never get to the end... which was not a big problem as seeing how far you get each time can be a worthwhile challenge in and of itself), it seemed to us that if you get to the end something besides a random dice roll should determine the outcome of the game. At best (if things went very well along the way), you may get to make multiple dice rolls which can increase your chances of winning. But, ultimately a dice roll will decide your fate.

The goal of this game is not to put it all together at first, but to do so as you move throughout the game one piece here and there. I have had ZERO broken or flimsy pieces. We have taken it apart and put together multiple times with ZERO issues. The thing works like a well oiled machine. This game was for my 8 year old. When we received it, it took me to my childhood. Worked like a charm as I remembered it- Great game.

+5337	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Had a lot of fun playing with the kids and adults.  Easy to learn and moderately challenging for most levels.
+While this game isn't difficult, it IS confusing and the rule book and accompanying videos don't do a hell of a lot to clear things up.  I bought this game last Saturday at noon.  I spent most of the day reading the rules and watching videos trying to figure out how the heck to play the game.  Once I felt I understood I decided to play with my wife.  Upon starting, I found simply trying to explain the attack phase/edge battle aspect really difficult to do without my wife's eyes glazing over.
+Play moves along quite smoothly, with each player trying to build train lines that connect up specific city to city routes as designated by destination tickets.  Routes are claimed by collecting series of colour train car cards that allow the player to place their plastic train cars onto the board.  The only point that we found a bit confusing is that there are five colours of train cars - each player gets a colour, but there are also coloured routes that while they match player colours actually have nothing to do with these colours.  A bit confusing at first, but after a few rounds you quickly forget and it all makes sense.

+The strategy also makes the game fun.  With every turn, Im looking over the board and trying to play to get the most points without setting up my opponents to get bigger points.  Since this is an individual game, it helps that you don't have to try to second guess what your teammate has.  You are only playing for yourself.
+8785	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	So far I'm very pleased with this product. My 6 year old loves it and wants to play all the time--that alone is worth the money, regardless of the durability. And durability is why I give it 4 stars--I've read the reviews and am less than hopeful on its longetivity. However, when I first got it out of the box, I had the same problem as many reviewers--it came on but wouldn't work. When I opened the battery compartment I saw that the batteries were slightly buckled, I replaced them flat and voila, the MathShark worked. It seems like the battery compartment is just the tiniest bit too small for the batteries; if you're having a problem, try repositioning them. The screen is small and not that easy to read, but it doesn't seem to bother my child at all. It's basically like reading a calculator.

Although they are both reading, because they are young, the kids made up their own rules for playing.  That's fine, because later on they can play more "by the rules."  It works like Scrabble, but comes in a cute yellow "banana bag," and tho this may sound insignificant, the tiles "feel" good...as if they are made of a very sturdy and smooth plastic.

It helped a bit with some behavior and fighting issues.

I sent each smart lab with a few anatomy books for children, which included information on the heart, stomach, and ears.  The little studious guy enjoyed everything.  The other two children enjoy more physical activities, e.g. helping grandpa in the garden, so they weren't ready for this.

I don't have much experience with the original TIE bomber but the punisher is massive and really has some cool upgrades. Like the y-wing the punisher is rather slow and hard to maneuver but the trade off is some decent shielding and epic weapons. I have personally found that the bombs are a little hard to use but if you manage to chuck one in the right place it can be very devastating. The model is, as always very detailed and beautifully crafted to scale. I wouldnt build an army full of punishers but I think I will be able to manage some pretty good destruction with the one.

With the maximum investigators so we could have people covering all points, we gave it a shot. Many a player were devoured, and many and old gods broke the seal and destroyed our world, but it was so much fun. The new Kingsport field was aimed at giving the players a bit more survivability, but the damage that could be done from a Rift opening was immense. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth it. If you want your players to survive better, you can just include the playing field additions. Personally, we saw moving portals because of the Rifts opening, and it was a lot of fun having to deal with a portal opening, moving and then another one opening behind it. (Apparently some of the smaller expansion have moving portals as well and we're excited to combine these and attempt to survive.)

The new quests, intrigue, and building cards are great.  Adds some new fun ways to play.  I do find that the new lords are pretty biased though.  Some of them are shoe-ins to win the game and others are almost impossible.  My husband and I are busy discussing the ways we can modify these new lords to make them more fair in game play.  I'm sure other people have been thinking the same.... But other than these new lords, the new game play is fun!
+I also liked how they tried to vary the sorts of Lord cards in the game. The original mix was mostly an effort to create every single possible combination of Quest Types per Lord apart from the "builder" as she's called in gaming circles. This time one can get points for completing quests of a particular expansion or even get a smaller penalty from corruption tokens in your tavern. Of course how things play out is a completely different story especially with cards that even allow you to reveal your Lord card early in exchange for protection from future Intrigue effects.

+Great idea and so fun for the while family. Even once the kids stop believing, I imagine it could still be so much fun. Best part of our holiday season for sure!!!
+What I love is how customizable it is. Yes, you should follow the rules to a T, but you can also shuffle in pieces from other D&D board games like Castle Ravenloft and Legend of Drizzt. Doing so can create massive mazes of randomized monsters. If you're getting even more invested, create your own heroes and villains from scratch by rolling in Reaper or other mini figures. You also get a horde of miniature figurines that would otherwise cost $50 so the value is well worth it.

+self-gratification vs 3 or months of "pleasing Santa" and lying about the past months.
+The only two complaints are very small...  First is the "6" card.  It has a giant green cat balloon being lead by small rats.  It is indeed a "Rat" card and not a desirable "cat" card despite the cat being depicted as the focus.  Also the "4" is very slim and stylized and looks like a "1".  Have had confusion over a younger player and an elderly player believing they had a "1" when it was really a "4".  Do these little things ruin the game?  Absolutely not, but it is something you might want to point out to those new to the game.

+When one player, after taking their turn, is down to two train cars or less, the final round begins. Starting with the player to their left, each player has one final turn, and then the game is over. The trains on the board are counted to make sure that the points were totaled correctly during the game, and then ticket cards are revealed. If players can trace a continuous path between the two cities on their card with their color train cars only, they receive the points, and move their tokens accordingly. Otherwise, they lose the points, and must move their token down the scoring track that many points. The player who has the longest continuous track also gets ten points.

+2815	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Like some of the other reviews, I was disappointed that only one button comes off the jacket. The premise of the book is about 4 buttons coming off.  My grand daughter likes to do the 'take away' or subtract the one button from the total buttons. We can do that with the book, but not with the puppet. On the plus side, she loves the size of this Pete - it fits her little hand and she can hold him up pretending to lose his buttons. I may try to devise a way for each button to come off.
+it has two game modes, beginner and advanced. I would say the beginner mode is just fine fine for 80% - 90% of the people playing this game. the advanced mode is more for tournaments and really hardcore gamers.
+This game is different every time we play it. We are constantly surprised at the great words we make. This game would appeal to card game lovers, word lovers, and strategy lovers. It would also be a good game for youngsters, as they can use their existing vocabulary (and maybe even win!), expand it, and manipulate it to its fullest.

+Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Netrunner is the asymmetrical gameplay. This means both players use different rules and goals. While it may not sound like it, this actually leads to a more balanced gameplay than I would have thought. The games are full of aggression, tension, trickery, and surprises. Highly recommended for anyone who's a fan of competitive card games.

+PRO TIP:
+6718	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I had a blast playing this game with a four-year-old child.  It was great to teach her the rules and watch her count carefully as she moved her little pegs from space to space.  Granted this game is for 5 years old and up, we did have a great time.  I agree with the recommended age range, but if you are patient, many 4 year old children will enjoy this thoroughly.  The only thing I was questioning was the sturdiness of the popper.  We were sitting on the carpet playing the game.  That may have been the problem.  I would recommend placing the gameboard on a flat surface, such as a kitchen table or coffee table, to make it easier to pop the popper.  Between 5 to 8 years old is probably a good age range for this game.
+230	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Great game, but very difficult to learn.  It took us two hours just to read through the manual, so like other reviews said, you have to be patient.  My son wanted this game, and he's 10.  I wasn't sure it would be good for him, but he's smart as a whip and helped the rest of the family figure it out!

+3444	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	These bracelets are super fun to make and to wear!  I'm way older than their intended market (I'm 23), but I still love them, and they're easy enough to make and wear that I'm sure their target market (ages 8 and up) could make them without much trouble.  Even my 20-year-old sister had to admit that the novelty aspect of being able to make stretchy bracelets like these, and fastening the flat strips into bracelets simply by sticking the ends together and wearing them for a few minutes (they permanently fuse after about 15 minutes of being warmed by body heat) is cool, even though she wouldn't be caught dead in a home-made brightly colored shiny bracelet.  My only complaints are that it only comes with four of the plastic strips to put the gel on (I want to do more at once, without waiting for them to dry first, although it's probably just as well that I couldn't use up all the gel in one go), the plastic strips aren't long enough to make an ankle bracelet (at least for an adult), and so far the refill sets only come with the same four colors of gel (judging by other Klutz products though, if these do well enough they'll start selling more colors eventually).
+Each of the four suits represents one novel: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion. The lower cards each has a verse from the particular novel, while the face cards carry the image of a person (The King of Hearts is Fitzwilliam Darcy.)

Yet, it has great play ability. In this deck both sides of the cards are playable. This is my guess to why the game is called Flip City. :) During your building phase you can purchase buildings and/or upgrade them . Upgrading the buildings is as simple as spending the money and flipping the card. Yet, getting your strategy and knowing which cards you want to flip is harder that you would think.

+With the chips played, the Judge reveals their answer & points are scored - the system is designed to reward players who guess correctly without creating chances for runaway victories... in fact, the entire game is designed for maximum party enjoyment rather than maximum gamerness. (Yes, I know "gamerness" is not a word - but most of you get what I'm talking about.)
+Right out of the gate there's a few expansions (Calveras, Grim, Irish) that allow you to play with additional players, but they really don't give you too much beyond that.  You could probably invent your own just as easily.
+Fairly simple rules. The strategy comes in balancing the different risks. Should I go ahead and claim the railroad I need now, or should I get the cards that I will need for the next section? If I place a railroad, will others guess where I am attempting to go and block me from proceeding? Should I attempt to get additional destination cards to increase my point total, or should I try to keep others from completing their destinations?

Rat gets last pick if there's even 1 fox) and puts them in front of you as points for the end of the round.  However, if someone plays a fox/rat and you play a guard dog, you just saved all those chickens and put them in front of you as points.  What if you play a guard dog and no one played a fox/rat?

+This card game, plays a bit like a board game. Initially you arrange the 32 time cards chronologically in four rows of eight with all the dates black and the card colors visible being purple and blue. The Purple cards are Linchpins and can be flipped by cards in the deck, and the Blue cards are Ripplepoints and flip when corresponding purple cards flip. For example, If you flipped 1865 from black text to red text, Lincoln Assassinated to Lincoln Wounded, that would trigger you to flip 1868 Johnson Impeached, because Johnson couldn't be impeached if Lincoln never died. Thus, a paradox is created. Before I get to paradoxes, let me tell you about cards you will draw during your gameplay.

+2) Having a single die is also the right choice for complexity.  Kids get practice first in counting to 6, then in recognizing the numerical symbols of 1 to 6 on a standard die.  This links the abstract concept of a number like "five" to the real world example of a set of five spaces that they can move.  As adults, we don't realize there is a difference, but for a young child it is one of the first big abstract concepts he or she is asked to learn.

The game is cheaply made.  :(  Very poor quality!  The game board is warped.  The pieces don't all pop out and I'm guessing this is an issue because there is note that says not to force them but to have scissors to cut them with.  REALLY!  I often like the kids to help me learn a new game.  If I had done that with this one, they would have torn the pieces.  The board with all the pieces is very visually difficult.  I live on an island in remote Alaska and was so excited to get this game.  Running errands ahead of a storm or hoping the ploughs and sanders was out is something the kids could relate to.

+5) Storage: The pathetic little lightweight plastic "balls" and maddeningly unstackable checkers cannot be sandwiched for storage inside of this two-sided tin (even though this is touted as a "feature" of the product) when/if kept in the nylon netted bags in which they come. We had to separate "balls" and checkers out into several ziploc baggies in order to spread them out in a "thin enough" layer to actually get the tin to stay sandwiched closed. So essentially, we had to repackage all the playing pieces immediately in order to simply get the tin to stay closed for storage in between play sessions.

I first bought Legend of Drizzt (easiest of the three) and found it to be a superb dungeon romp. Castle Ravenloft is brutal, a meatgrinder. WOA takes the middle ground, for the most part. There are times where something leads to multiple monsters spawning at one time. If you are playing two-player or solo, this will wear you down. One scenario calls for you to take out 12 monsters. Sounds simple, right? It would be simple, except that Ashardalon's card is in that deck, too. EVERY time we play this scenario, Ashardalon's card shows up late in the game, usually when the healing surges are already used up. Still, this game is quite a bit easier than Castle Ravenloft, tougher than Legend of Drizzt.

The very favorite toy that the kids were able to play with tonight was the stacking set I purchased for our grandson who is 16 months old.  His Daddy was showing him how to stack the buckets when the three 2 year old grandchildren and the four year old caught the act and started to play with them, too.  It quickly became apparent that I should have bought four more sets for the other grandkids as well - and maybe even one to have a grandma's house.  The kids loved stacking the buckets, and then fitting them inside of themselves and figuring out the size differences and what fits and doesn't fit, etc.  Very educational for all of them.  I'm glad I got at least one set.

+If the instructions are too much for you there are great tutorials on YouTube that further explain this game.

+Overall I would recommend it - we found it to be a little more relaxing and fun than Scrabble but at the same time a good challenge.

+So, in the end, that's what I did. This game drove me back to roleplaying games, first by tricking me into feeling like I was playing one for a while, and then by grossly running over its stated duration of play on more than one occasion. WoA is just what it says on the tin, a boardgame rather than a roleplaying game, and it is certainly cleverly done and has high production values. I like it. But I don't love it.
+4584	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	I absolutely love this game!  It's always different, and can be played by many different age levels.  Even my mother, who has Alzheimer's, can play a simplified version.  We do crosswords, and she builds separate words - but still "dumps" and "peels"  with the rest of us!  My problem is this.  I love this game so much, I gave my original game to my parents, since my mother also enjoyed it a lot.  I ordered two more.  The original set has heavy tiles - weighted and smooth.  Very nice to manipulate.  The new version has cheap lightweight plastic tiles.  Ugh.  The learning value is the same, but the cheaper quality of the materials bothers me.  The lighter weight tiles seem to fall more easily, and are not as durable.  One fell on the floor and inadvertently got stepped on...and it cracked.  That would not happen with the original tiles.  So - look around for those older sets!

+8325	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My son plays this for hours!  There are some small parts so make sure no littles can reach it, but for my 3 year old it is a great game!  It also is a fun game for my and my husband too!

+2634	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I gave this to my artistic niece for her birthday. She loves to draw and this gave her some new ideas on drawing letters. She now loves to make signs and address envelopes. It was nice that it came with some colored pencils as well - it's a self contained kit she can take with her when she is traveling.
+And, this is truly a support ship in many ways; it cannot attack per se (i.e., it has no primary or secondary weapons).  There are, however, a few notable ways this ship can inflict damage on another ship: (1) see "Slicer Tools" upgrade below; (2) small or large ships -- YOURS AND THE ENEMY'S -- that run into this ship roll one attack dice and take any damage rolled; (3) huge ships that run into each other each automatically take one damage each; and perhaps most impressively, (4) when a huge ship executes a maneuver were the final position overlaps one or more small or large ships -- YOURS AND THE ENEMY'S, all of those ships are destroyed immediately. REALLY! I'm not kidding about this (talk about the importance of flying casual). The only small consolation for an opposing squad is that when this happens the huge ship has to roll one attack dice for each small ship and two attack dice for each large ship it destroys, and suffer any damage rolled.
+7477	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Excellent
+
+I am going to keep playing this game until I'm done with all the challenges and I'm pretty sure that my kiddo will want to try to finish more on his own. This game is a wonderful brain game. It soothes me sometimes in between all my blog writing and book reviews. I'm hooked on it. I'll be a bit sad when I completely finish it, but maybe I will start them all over again and try to time myself to make it even harder? Sounds fun to me.
+6855	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I purchased this for my nephew who is 6. He was instantly enthralled with trying to find a way out for the red car! I watched, and I too got caught up in this game. My son is 12 and he now wants one! I recommend this! Don't be swayed by the 8 and up necessarily.
+5646	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My hubby is a Lovecraft fan and enjoys games, at least easy to learn ones. So he got this for father's day. We were able to pick up and play a couple games right away and it's alot of fun. The "single deck" in the title is misleading, you get the full game. The artwork is very cool and fans will enjoy the characters and places from HP Lovecraft novels.
+8828	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This drum is great.  I am always skeptical about products with lots of 5 star reviews, but it deserves it.  The sound is clear and the sticks that come with it are perfect for my 3 year old.  I also like that the drum is a bit on the heavy side, so it's hard for her to accidentally tip it over when she invariably gets up and sprints around.  My only gripe is a minor one; the design wrapped around the drum has a noticeable seam.  I wish it were tiled seamlessly.  Not enough to warrant a star off though, the product is great and I am totally happy with it.
+9260	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Gave this to my (then) 2 year old. First without batteries in it, and she loved it, playing with the moving pieces by themselves was fun for her. Then we added the batteries and got it moving. She loved it! Now, another review said their 3 year old was bored after a few days. I don't know of many toys that a 3 year will play with for days on end. What you do is the popular technique called "hide it for 2 weeks then bring it out again when you need an hour to yourself".

+Wiz-War is a competitive board game, and a chaotic one at that. You take on the role of a wizard who's trying to defeat all of the other wizards on the board. The goal is to be the first wizard to two points or the last wizard standing, whichever comes first. When a wizard is taken out, he's eliminated from the game.

Its a smaller car than what I am used to but it is twice as much fun. Super quick, excellent traction, responsive steering, outstanding breaking, performs well on or off road, easy to stabilize in mid air flight. Comes with basic 2.4ghz controller that has very good range, fully adjustable aluminum oil filled shocks that as you will see in the video do a superb job of keeping the wheels on the ground. Don't hesitate to buy this car, you will be very satisfied as long as you buy the batteries and charger. The batteries are only $15.99 ea. and you can get a good charger for around $100. Buggy is tough, I drive mine extremely hard pretty much every day and have done so for almost a month now and have had nothing break. Bottom line, enjoy the video and enjoy your new tacon soar. Best out of the box car I have ever owned.
+356	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	The Expansions (2 in this bundle), can be played individually or concurrently allowing players a wider range of options. The inclusion of corruption tokens on one expansion board increase agents advantage but reduce overall points means game scores can be a lot higher than with the base game. While the other is just a mix-up of standard board choices. Added buildings and lords add more variables to the game as well, and can bring new life into what might be getting to be a dull game if played too often. As with the base game, good strategy is needed to take most advantage of the added possibilities.

Remember when you were a child and you would walk into a candy store, wide eyed and amazed. That's how I felt when I played Candyland as a child.
+It says on the box that it's perfect for travel, but I can't think of travel situation where the board might get tilted, but not bumped: certainly not a plane, or a car, or a boat, or on the beach, or on the grass.

+3350	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	I had great expectations from all the position 4 and 5 star reviews of this game. I have a few board based fantasy games like Descent and Heroscape, both great games giving hours of replayability, and obviously high quality of design and materials. This one disappoints. All of the pieces give the word MINIATURE and new definition. The pieces are so small they are in the description realm of RIDICULOUS. FFS is obviously saving dollars in name of sacrificing quality and quantity. Some of the pieces, like the plastic gold coins and the pyramind cones are literally 1/4" in height and diameter.  The handful of plastic molded characters are at most about 1 inch high as well. The spell and casting cards are all so small they would be small for a 5 year old's hand. The board is quite large, about 3 foot by 2 made of cardboard. Not much here folks, especially for the cost of the game. This is a 12 dollar game at a 50 dollar price.

+Unlike many other games in the genre, this game is fully cooperative.  There's no solo player controlling the dungeon and the monsters.  Because of that however, there is going to be a bit of reading involved in any play session.  Players end up controlling monsters on their turns as well as acting for their hero character.  The monsters however follow a set of instructions located on each of their cards, sort of like a simple AI computer program.  It works out fairly easily and is a lot of fun.

I've found that the little elf isn't made well enough to withstand 40 little hands trying to see it. The head is heavy and the rest of the body is lanky, which I understand the point of but it's still difficult. I didn't find the book to be cute as much as creepy.

+7401	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Such a simple and fun game. It is always hard to find games that EVERYBODY can play at the holidays or family gatherings. This one is so simple and you really get into it. I have yet to meet somebody who didn't thoroughly enjoy it! I think the fact that the game goes so fast as opposed to say Monopoly, is a big selling point but even the most reluctant participant will want in once they hear one round of this game go off...all the yelling and passing cards back and forth is too much fun to pass on.
+The story takes you through learning the major mechanics of the game and dice. The story is also pretty engaging so that helps. I have GM'ed a couple of times before but had never GM'ed Star Wars, so the included walkthrough story really helps.

+- Third, this teaches logic by not only having to break the code but also the other player has to translate their opponent's guess into the white/colored pegs.  It all really helps the kids with their thinking skills.  True, once you've figured out a basic strategy the logic part starts to become secondary and it can be a formulaic game (my kids haven't gotten there yet).  But I still enjoy it.

+2909	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My son was almost 4 when a relative gave him this book and set of five Monkeys. We were at a restaurant and he did not stop playing with them or the book. Right there it was it hit. But No, two years later he STILL loves these monkeys and the book!! One or more have gone to every major event, trip, restaurant in the land with us and bought us time and good behavior to boot!! I'm on today buying another set and sending the link to a friend who's grandchildren fell in love with them at our house! If you are getting one set, I would recommend getting 2 and squirreling the second set away as a gift or "secret replacement" should one of the monkeys "go missing" as they are not easy to find/replace. Just tried and true advice from this parent! (I know several reviewers have commented on the velcro not holding up but given the number of times they are used before it gives up the ghost, not a deal breaker. Also a very simple fix is pick up the "Mega Strength" sticky backed velcro at a hardware store and peel & stick a small piece on each side right over the original pieces and Bam! you are back in business in 10 seconds!)

+9923	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My son just loves these eggs! I really like that he has to match up a shape and a color to get the eggs put back together. One thing that I don't like about other shape sorters is that kids can shove the wrong shape through different holes and then you completely miss the point. With this sorter, the only option is the RIGHT SHAPE! Otherwise, the eggs just won't fit together. Great idea!

+The game is a pretty short one if you have a little time to kill with just two players and each of your games is going to be varied with 50 different characters.  The gameplay is reasonably easy but the sheer volume of different powers to read and learn make it a little less accessible.  This game fills a really nice niche of quick 2-player games that is hard to find.

+3818	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	this game is awesome.  it is actually quite easy to pick up and start playing out of the box, with a steep learning curve and lots of strategy.  very interesting asymmetrical gameplay - one person plays defense, while the other offense.  very slick, unbelievably balanced.  i'm still learning, but i find i like it more and more...
+If you're interested in diving into a new competitive card game, then AGOT: LCG 2nd Edition is definitely worth a try. However, if you're looking for a casual party game for fans of the TV Series, then this game will be too complex and complicated for a casual fun experience.

+Another nice thing about the game is really how cheap it is.  Now this might not seem that way to a traditional board gamer.  But anyone who has delved into the CCG market knows this to be true.  While a competitive Magic the Gathering Deck can easily run $200 up to a $1,000 or more depending on the format, you can get a playset of every single Netrunner card up to this point (7/28/14) for less than $300!  You can even tournament play for less than that.  And actually be competitive as well.

Super fun, lots of exciting gameplay, and is VERY cheap in comparison to Magic and some other card games. I love that I don't have to waste money on randomized boosters. I also really love the theme/ setting of this card game as I'm really into cyberpunk scifi stuff. For $25 to $30, this game is definitely worth picking up a coreset and checking it out.
+1255	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	great game.  love it.  received in great condition and very quickly.
+After trying a couple of different drums, this one is the best.
+Also, its MUCH better than Magic: The Gathering in my opinion. The main reason for this is Netrunner has a limited number of actions per player per turn. This eliminates the overpowered combos of MtG, and 10 minute turns. Its much more balanced as well, with very few (if any) truly broken combos. Also, you don't have to draw into your resources (mana in MtG), you can gain resources at any time. This means getting a bad draw in Netrunner happens far less than MtG.

If you want games that have a positive impact on your children or your family, these are absolutely the way to go.  We can sit and play a half dozen of Family Pastimes' cooperative games with only very good feelings at the end of game night, which has a lasting positive effect on my children's relationship with one another and on my sanity as a mother. Another nice aspect of these games is that they have a nice narrative quality.  We especially like this little game of mystery and memory, which is a race against the clock.  It's a favorite of my daughter, who enjoys Nancy Drew and mysteries.

It's full of surprises.
+349	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Yes Quick, wonderful and accurate
+It is simple on the surface, quick and easy to learn, yet complex and fun to play over time.  This isn't a game that gets old quick.

+-Unique tasks and assets are an interesting concept that works out well for the game (although it is one other deck to keep track of). The tasks themselves provide the player with a bonus objective, usually requiring a level of sacrifice, but with a substantial reward. The unique assets are similar in the way they are acquired, but I believe this feature could've been integrated into one of the original assets instead of forming its unique deck (see "feature creep" below).

+1140	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Novel and lots of fun!  The number of players is quite limited because of the finite number of tracks available, so be aware of that.  Score-keeping is a bit of a pain, too, especially if you're used to playing the app, which does all of that for you.  But still definitely worth getting if you have a boardgame crowd!
+2653	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	No, there are no jokers as other reviewers have mentioned, but I don't know if jokers would have been historically accurate. Overall, especially for the price, I like these cards. They're just what I expected.

You may keep one route, or all three. Each route has a different value depending on how difficult or long the route may be to complete. You draw train car cards of different colors and try to save up to "buy" your route. The person who gets the most points at the end wins. Very easy to play. It is my 9 year old's favorite game. We love it so much, we just ordered Ticket to Ride Europe.

+2236	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We are a board game family and this game by North Star Games proves to be another fun game.  There is a judge who has the SLICE-O-MATIC 6000 which is the voting mechanism.  The judge will choose a card from the pile and pick a question to read.(There are 3 questions on one side of the card and 3 on the back, however play with the yellow cards first.) Player will write down what they think is the best answer and lay the answer card which they wrote on with the provided markers in the center of the game table.  Do this fast though!  Once all players have wrote down an answer, the judge will choose a player using the slice-o-matic with the answer they like best, but they do not show it to the players, they lay if face down.  Now scoring begins.  With the tokens players will place them next to the answer board they think the judge liked best.  That is really the gist of it.
+Overall, if the basic idea of this game interests you at all, don't let the learning curve deter you.  This is a very much worthwhile game to learn.  With the core set, you get everything you need to start playing and you get a general idea of inherent strategies that go along with the 7 different factions.  There are 3 runners and 4 corporations and they all play very differently.  Going through each one and trying out different matchups adds a ton of longevity just to this set alone.  There's some limited deck construction options which can also drastically change strategies.  If or when you start getting bored of this, there are data packs you can buy.  This adds another 60 cards for more customization.  These data packs are also fixed, so you know what cards you are getting and you can look at lists to see what data packs improve you're specific strategy.  I'd also like to add that many reviews mention deck building, but this isn't a deck building game like Dominion.  The decks here are preconstructed.

At the moment it is setup going into a small tent, which he thinks is so much fun. My best tip for this tunnel is to put it away on occasion.  It is pretty big so when I notice he hasn't played with it for a little bit I pack it up.  When I bring it out a week or two later it's like he has a new toy.
+6704	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter adores this rattle. It is the first toy she grabbed and held onto. It's colorful handles attract her and the beads move from one sphere to the next. As soon as it's in her grip, the sphere is in her mouth. She'll gum this toy all day if I let her. I haven't had any problems with it hurting her gums as some of the other reviewers did. However, she does occasionally knock herself in the head with it. The manufacturer isn't at fault for that....it's just babies' developing hand-eye coordination.  It's very light, despite it's appearance and she never gets hurt. She's been interested in it since she was 3 months old and her attention hasn't waned yet. Lamaze comes through with another winner!

+5597	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	If you know anything about Lovecraft or the Cthulhu mythos (which I'm assuming you do because you are on this page) you know that Lovecrafts works have an overlying theme of chaos, madness, and insanity. That theme fits extremely well with Fluxx! The rules can change in an instant and you really cannot predict how the game will go, which makes it very replayable. I suppose you could also think of it as Calvinball the card game. It also manages to feel very Lovecraftian (unlike some other themed versions of games that feel identical to the originals only with different characters). I've only played it with two people, but I can imagine that it would be just as fun, if not more so, with a lot more. Games last anywhere from 5 minutes to 45, depending on how the cards fall. The boyfriend and I have been playing this about every Sunday since we bought it, that that was months ago. I would highly recommend this game!

+The first time we played, I brought the game along to a game night where there were a total of 5 guests.

+1230	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	While this game is a lot of fun I have notes. Some people are complaining this game is too complicated. I had three people all completely drunk play it for the first time and they all figured it out. Though I would not recommend playing with drunk people as they take forever to take their turn and have to take frequent urination breaks.  I would suggest using an egg timer for those fun sponges. My daughter is 5.5 and she figured it out. I mean she didn't completely get the strategy but she knew how to play the first time out. So it's not too complicated. Others have mentioned they don't like when their routes get blocked. Boy so many comments I could make to those crybabies. This is the god damn industrial revolution people welcome to 'Merica. I can't hear you ducks quacking becuase I'm up here soaring with the Eagles. I like the quickness of the game played it four times with friends at a cabin last weekend. I actually think I enjoyed it the least of the five or six people who played and I am still giving it a five star review because I really feel the replay value is there and also like I'm just scratching the surface of some of the complexity of the strategy that can be used.
+4962	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Concept seems easy enough. Match by color or symbol.  Use a single level, or let it trail across the table.  In the beginning,  scoring was a bit difficult to master.  But, I think this game will grow on the kids.
+9339	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	As a musician and music teacher, I purchased these because I trust the products that Remo puts out. This was no exception. Now I'm not expecting to get a concert sound out of these, but they don't sound bad at all! They use their durable (if you treat them properly) synthetic heads. These are not tunable and mine are very high pitched, but my three year old son thinks they're fantastic. These are the perfect blend of toy drum and a "real" instrument. Perfect for young musicians.
+178	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Love these!
+I understand the rating is lower because previous versions of this had a higher quality of components. To me the component quality is alright for the $30 price tag, and overlooked in these complaints is the quality of the stock cards which are of good print. I honestly would not pay for a more expensive version of this game because while I enjoy playing it as a basic game of economics, there are a few problems. The tile draws can be quite random, there is no player elimination but a bad bet early on can eliminate a player from making meaningful plays due to him/her having his money tied up in a company that doesn't get bought out.

+7782	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This is a fun game, but as others have mentioned, it is easy for your piece to shift off your space, and cause you to forget where you were, and the grid has numbers that are a bit too small, making room for the illustrations.  My 3.5 year old loves Candy Land, but slightly less enamored with this so far.
+3449	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My baby absolutely loves Elmo and so this book seemed perfect for her.  I'm happy to say I was right:  this book is nice and soft and beautifully illustrated so my little one takes it everywhere and "reads" it all of the time. While Elmo is the main character of because he hides on each page, other Sesame Street characters are also featured which is fun, too. Another great, interactive, Elmo centric book that I would recommend for the Sesame Street/Elmo lovers is "Twinkle, Twinkle Elmo" (which is also available on Amazon for a great price).

+UPDATE: We've now had this tunnel for several years, and despite much use and abuse, it is still in great shape!! My oldest was 3 1/2 when I wrote this original review. She recently turned 8, her younger sister is 6 1/2, and they now have a younger brother who is about to turn 3. They all still LOVE this tunnel! It gets dragged out every so often for everything from building tents to pretending to be dogs in a doghouse to walking around with it over them like a sock and pretending to be a monster. This is probably one of the most useful, long-term toy purchases we've made. I can't think of any other toy we have that has been used this often and has retained this much favor with kids of both genders over so many years and ages and interests.

+1518	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is a great game and is easy for anyone who can count up to 6. So you should be able to find someone to play with at all times.

+4222	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This  is perhaps the best time travel game in existence. In this game, you are a Time Traveler, with a Secret Mission, a Secret Identity, and a very important job to do: Paradox Repair. You can win by fixing enough Paradoxes, gathering up the three rare and amazing Artifacts listed on your Mission card, or adjusting history in the three ways necessary to allow your character to return to the alternate reality from which he or she originally came. The constant changing of history is tracked by a special layout of 32 cards, called the TimeLine, which functions rather like a gameboard. The three ways to win provide for several different plotlines and layers of action, but you can also split the game up into two less complicated games: Solonauts (The Solitaire Game of Changing History) and Artifaxx (The Fluxx-style Game of Collecting Amazing Stuff).

+5483	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	The Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer DVD game was a bit tricky to understand at first but once underway it made for a great evening of family fun.  My 6 year old son was excited when he saw the box and after a bit of setting up and explanation we were able to get into the game.  The game essentially has you rolling dice and moving around a game board.  In order to collect tokens you need to answer questions on the DVD.  Most of the questions are geared for young children so there is more fun than critical thinking involved but enough difficulty to keep adults interested.  The game play is approximately 30 minutes.  For the price this is a great game that that young kids will really enjoy.
+VERY FUN!!
+  buy a route (lay down your trains on the rectangles between cities)  You buy the track by discarding from your hand the same number and color of cards of the track where you lay down your trains.
+1004	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This game should be in everyone's collection. I agree with the age 8+ recommendation, because it does take some strategy and planning. Think Catan minus trading. You buy tickets from one location to another and then strategically map out and build a route using colored train cars. When playing with 4 or more players it can get difficult to take a direct route to your destination, so strategy is key to keeping up. I would recommend this game to people who are willing to sit and play for an extended period of time and are familiar with/ready to learn strategy games.

+8670	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This is a fantastic sensory toy, and will delight kids for years! The only downside, and the reason that I'm knocking a star, is because the connecting red pieces are mostly swastika shapes, which, while understandable within the design, is still unsettling when one of them breaks and you're tracking tiny red swastikas through your home trying to find out which of your kids toys is the culprit.

+Beatle fans will certainly want these figures and will avidly grab them up and proudly display them. You can play Beatle classics from 1965 (that was a fertile year for them musically as well as artistically - that was the year their second film "Help!" was released) and enjoy some retro fun! Be sure to get the other Beatles for your collection.  You might also want to get "Beatle Toons" by Mitch Axelrod.  That is an excellent book about the Beatles' cartoon.

+1740	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This has become such a wonderful tradition for my five year old. We love seeing the adventures of our elf Zart,.
+The only reasons I'm giving it 4 rather than 5 stars are (1) the 1910 expansion is so essential that it really should have been included in the base game, and (2) once you've played this version a few times this particular map will start to feel a little simple.  Knowing what I know now I probably would have started with the Europe map and 1912 expansion instead (a little more to it at first, but lots more ways to grow into the game). But, this is still a great way to learn the game, and if you happen to be from the U.S. it will be a little easier to find the cities since you'll know where everything is.

+
+While it does say that the minimum amount of players is 2, this game really shines when you have at least 5 - 8 players.  With only two players, if one of those players gets a few lucky rolls early on, it's hard for the trailing player to ever catch back up, and you miss out on the excitement and tension of what happens in the turns, the possible collisions, and the strategy element.  If you only have 2 people, I suggest each player playing a race team (consisting of 2 cars of matching color) each so that there is a total of 4 cars playing.

This means no diving under the table to grab dice that are flying everywhere, no grabbing for dice from the next small person in line, no losing the dice.  It's a simple, fun and easy game for families to play together.  Even young kids (4+) can play on their own, and parents can enjoy it as well.

Imagine getting hemmed in and locked down in Settlers of Catan, multiplied by 100. That's how frustrating this game is if you happen to choose the wrong path cards which (unbeknownst to you at the time) conflict with someone else's ambitions. Satisfaction with the game is very hit and miss, as it can be VERY tedious when you have no chance of accomplishing your objections. Part of the appeal of the game is also one of its biggest drawbacks: you can easily see how well you're doing compared to everyone else, which means that you can also tell very easily when you have no chance at all of winning.

+The last thing the box introduces are institutions.  These are similar to Guardians except they're man-made and man-run organizations like the Miskatonic Univeristy, the Crime Organization and the FBI Bureau.  Since we've played a few games with all of them, my players (and most everyone on the net) think these cards weren't thoroughly play-tested.  All of them could have been tweaked just a bit.  And this may be the most disappointing thing as I read the previews on these organizations I was pretty excited about seeing a semi-new mechanic being introduced but now, it's a shame that they just weren't play-tested enough.

+2550	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter enjoyed decorating this journal.  It comes with a tube of puffy paste "frosting"  with a decorative rosette tip. It also has very detailed instructions on how to pipe the puffy paste into rosettes or shells and how to apply the charms.  I suggest practicing on a piece of cardboard to get the technique down before decorating the journal.  We had a few mishaps and had to wipe the journal off and start over.  Once applied, there are a multitude of stickers, jewels and charms that can be pressed into the wet frosting.  The puffy paste dries firm, but just to be safe, she displays her journal on a stand so it doesn't get damaged. She's eleven, and she ended up with the  paste everywhere and it's not water soluble.  A magic eraser took it right off  though.  In hindsight, putting down newspaper would have been a good idea.

+5939	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	My rating may seem too critical, but it's honest.  The mechanic of flipping a card to upgrade sounds great in principle, but really makes for a very poor experience when implemented.  Because the cards are two sided, shuffling becomes a very tedious and awkward experience.  You don't want to look at the cards while shuffling, because that would be cheating.  So you shuffle under the table.  But then if you drop the cards your current game is completely messed up.  It's a novel concept, but a horrible when implemented.

In turn, the levels of complexities make it much more entertaining. "Skilled" Rook players will almost always beat those who are less advanced - due to their ability to manage the game and the flow of points... regardless of how the cards are dealt.

+I realized after a week that if you like this game alot then your going to NEED a player as interested as you are in this game to keep interest.  I have a great roommate that I always play board games and LOL with all the time, but he likes to mix it up a bit, while I would prefer playing this over and over.  I honestly wouldn't suggest purchasing this game if you are going to play it casually (i.e. once a month).  This is the kind of game that you try to play AT LEAST 5+ games a week and I think thats undershooting it considering that you can take the game out of the box, play a game, and clean up within 15-20 minutes (Agricola takes me 5-10 minutes just to setup the board...)

The best part about this game is that you can fold it up into it's two consoles and then take it on the road with you.  We filled many hours in the backseat during roadtrips with this game.

The book that accompies it is educational and adds the sense of reality for the non-believer! Pricing for the elf is the best I found in my 2 years of searching for it. My daughter puts it up the day after Thanksgiving and moves it every day. The children look for it first thing every morning and it adds to a positive and joyful discipline experience. They "know" they are being watched by Santa's elf and never know where the elf will show up. It is absolutely a family tradition that maintains a child's heart. I hope they never lose it.

+I love how the app works with the game.  It mixes things up each round and keeps the tension level high and players on their toes so they can never really plan too much ahead of time.  This also does a lot to eliminate the "alpha gamer" problem some players experience in cooperative games.

+5160	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I'm on sort of a game kick these days.  I have three kids, ages 6, 5, and 3.  I bought this game as a family present from Santa this past Christmas.  This game is for really anyone.  It's a cross between scrabble, dominos, and rummy kub.  It has colorful wooden tiles and a draw bag comes in the box.  The box is really nice.  The game was Germany Spiel des Jahres a couple years back, which is saying something, since achieving that rank is sort of a worldwide recognition.  This game is light, easily played, and easily scored.  But it still takes some strategy and brain useage.  My 6-yo gets it.  My 5-yo will get it soon; she usually plays on my wife's "team."  My 3-yo won't get it for a while, but he likes to build things with my tiles while I'm playing.  We put the kids to bed and me and my wife played alone.  I bought this game for my mother-in-law too, and she was way excited.  This same company makes another game we bought called Q-Bits.  My 5-yo and 6-yo get that game, it also is a high quality wooden game, and it's also a thinking game.  I have to say BIG thumbs up on Santa.  My only recommendation...I bought my wife a waffle iron too.  So now I have waffles and we play this.  A man's gotta eat, ya know?

It helps me teach her that there is more to money than just getting it and spending it. I will say I have not looked into this program beyond getting the bank so I can't comment on any other aspects...just the bank. I also love that this is a metal bank instead of something breakable like ceramic or glass and also more durable than plastic.

+The "game" is simple, you try to do tasks on cards and when you do, you get more Mardi Gras style beads.  Sadly, the game doesn't function as a game on its own and when combined with other games or a party, it simply becomes a hassle.

+5867	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Battlecon Devastation of Indines is an amazing game by designer D.Brad Talton Jr. This is a board game reminiscent of Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or any other awesome fighting video games. But this game is so much more then just fighting, there are so many different modes to play with this one game, there is 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2 tag team, 2 vs 1 boss mode, 3 vs 1 boss mode, 4 vs 1 almighty boss mode, dungeon guest solo, dungeon quest team. Theres so much that I could play just this game for about a month and maybe play every variant. There is 30 different fighters to choose from, and each one plays and feels so much different that it's amazing. When I got this game I didn't know to much about battlequest the dungeon mode, so I will go into a little detail about that. There are 6 different dungeons to explore, and each one is very difficult but very rewarding if and when you beat one. There is an armoury you can pick and use different items with in game gold, and it is extremely hard, but its a great place to try new fighters and to figure out how they play. And at the end of each dungeon is a final boss battle that'll really just your skill. But it plays out the same from the players point where you need to play an attack pair from your hand, then you randomly deal out each monster in the dungeon room with you a card that is numbered 1-6 and depending on which card the monsters drew you look.at there chart, and that will tell you there priority, range, power, and any special effects they might have. Its great especially if you cant find anybody to play some battlecon with. The game it self in any mode plays the same play attack pairs, check who has priority then follow the beats for ability then attack, there's a great chart on the side of the board that has every step the players need to follow. I couldn't recommend this game highly enough, this one box has something for everyone, and every other battlecon game fits seamlessly into this game, so the number of fighters is up to how many different expansions you want. We give this game a perfect score 10-10 absolutely nothing to gripe about with this game. This game has it all

The one who drew the card and read the question secretly picks the answer they like best. The remainder of the players vote on which answer they think the the person who read the question will like best.

+Perhaps its apparent that I get caught up in the game.  The little fighters are awesome and sometimes get flown from where they were amassed to the planet they are subduing before they get returned to the supply because, by gum, Im in space!  Theres never any battle, just a threshold that needs to be met to subdue.  The planets are pretty the cards are gorgeous.  The resource chips, though variously colored to represent different resources aren't limiting if someone is hoarding them, but they are kind of plain.  I suppose you might take this out of space and then you are looking for islands to conquer instead?  Man-o-wars are probably more expensive to make than the little fighters.

+Overall the game is fun, but there are some things users may not like as much as others. The most obvious is that the main story has been altered, and it doesn't fit in with the movie's plot. The process of gameplay is a bit unnerving at times. For example, a player might be told to put a toy token in a specific region, only to be asked to remove it in the same turn. There is a lot of set-up and maneuvering of game tokens in between most turns. The narrator's voice is a little irritating and his instructions and the animations can seem repetitive. The biggest drawback of the game and DVD combo, however, is that the layouts don't coincide with one another. The layout of the DVD menu shows the regions in this order: Great North Mountains, Elf Toy Shoppe, Reindeer Games Playground, Santa's Castle. The board shows them in this order: Santa's Castle, Great North Mountains, Reindeer Games Playground, Elf Toy Shoppe. This makes play a bit awkward as players attempt to find the corresponding space to select on the DVD menu.

+Background: Remake of the game from the 1960's by 3M of the same name. The object of the game is to profit by connecting two or more squares to form a hotel. If two (or more) hotels end up touching, they merge, with the larger hotel (the one with the most squares) acquiring the smaller one. Money is made by buying shares in hotels and having them grow. Bonuses are paid out to the majority and minority shareholders, and the process is repeated until the squares are all used, or no legal moves are left.

+Ticket to Ride is a great game for the casual or the serious gamer.  It is very simple to learn, but play can be quite complex due to competitive elements.  It has a great light feel such that you can still have a conversation while playing without feeling you have to concentrate overly much on the game.  That said, if you want to concentrate and strategize, there is still plenty of that to be done.  This game is ideal for a board-gamer like me: a serious gamer who mostly plays with casual gamers, since it appeals to both.

+5882	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	As far as simple dice rolling games that carry a theme go, Dungeon Roll is the creme of the crop.  It is instantly fun and easily learned.  It cane be taught in minutes as the game is played.  A variety of characters to play as gives a new spin each time the game is played.  The game boils down to a push your luck model where players are delving further and further into a dungeon.  The higher the level the player chooses to venture into, the more dice that get rolled which means more monsters and more chances for the dreaded dragon dice to hit the table.  Three dragon dice and the dragon lair must be entered where the player will have to fight the dragon or lose all of their progress (and thus any chance at experience points that round!).
+The only drawback I find is the amount of cards printed. The rules state that any deck can have only 3 copies of any given card, but some cards in the core set have only one or two copies. Thus, if you plan on taking this game seriously, you need to buy 3 copies of the core set to make sure you have 3 copies of all cards... and be left with a pile of other cards that won't be needed, but still good to have.
+6359	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	The kids really like it, but I realized after I bought it that there are only 3 slots for paper money, meaning that some denominations need to be doubled up.  But, the kids (2, 6 & 8) really like it and that's what matters
+If you want a fairly cheap game with great replayability and that's also the best gateway game on the market, I highly recommend Kingsburg. If you like Kingsburg but think something is missing, I also suggest picking up the expansion.

+3. The edge battle mechanic is just a splendid idea. I've never seen anything like it (but I'm not a hardcore board/card game guy)
+So, as much fun as WORD WITH FRIENDS is a great time, try this in reality!!  It's a challenge, if you let it be!
+First, after repeated playings, you may find there may not be enough variation in the adventure card deck. It gets to be old hat.

+6413	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I am 33 as of 3/26 and my first time playing Yahtzee has me hooked. I started playing "Yacht" in a popular CD-ROM from Sierra (you all know what I'm talking about, right?) and knew Yahtzee came from that game. Yahtzee is different with an additional scoring space - 3 of a kind, but has a depth and distinction all its own. I have both standard and the Deluxe Edition Yahtzee and love them both, although the Deluxe Edition is a little more special and appeals to the collector in me. The dice are gorgeous and you will be spoiled by the Deluxe Edition score pads as they are designed attractively. I love the dice cup and the dice tray - with dice HOLDERS!!!  A prior review of this game caused me to study and scrutinize the rules from both editions. I don't understand why that reviewer said you were no longer eligible for the Yahtzee bonus chip nor the Joker rule allowing you to score additional Yahtzee scores in the lower space scores. I absolutely mean NO disrespect to that reviewer or their review; it is great and inspired me to write this one, and to hopefully help. The Deluxe Edition and standard Yahtzee rules are identical in that you can place additional Yahtzees in the lower score spaces, only if you have free spots to put them and if you have already scored a Yahtzee. You do get a bonus chip/token for each 100 pt Yahtzee shown on page 7 in standard Yahtzee and page 6 in Deluxe Yahtzee. I regret not learning this wonderful game earlier in life and am playing catch-up with this and with other new games I've learned. Don't hesitate to get this Deluxe Edition of Yahtzee, do it for the collector inside you, it's worth every penny. Now if only Milton Bradley would only make Deluxe Edition Yahtzee score pads for sale ...

+Pathfinder Beginner's Box: A 100-page fully bounded book on high-quality paper.  As with the Hero's Handbook, the bulk of this manual consists of a full array of tips and tricks on how to become a good game master, with advice on how to create your own stories, battles, and various other scenarios, as well as descriptions of enemies and specialty items galore, with a few advanced rules that are important for an experienced GM to be aware of.  However, for anyone that doesn't want to have to deal with any of that nonsense to play a simple session, the manual opens with a mini-module, an adventure with a back story and plot hook that tells of a menacing force killing off local livestock; the players investigate a nearby dungeon to find the source of these disruptions.  The game master gets a full ten-room dungeon to have the players explore, and there are a variety of enemy encounters and traps that will use the quick thinking of the players in order to resolve in the best possible way.  It's a well rounded experience that will use the talents of all of the classes in order to best the system and make it to the end.  More importantly, it's fun, and that's the whole reason we're playing this, isn't it?  Again, the manual manages to best the 4th Edition Dungeon Master's guide at what it attempted to do, while still being a resource that actually teaches you the full game.  This gets a 10/10.
+8780	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Every first grader should have their own math shark!  It's the perfect tool for memorizing their math facts.  Timing themselves each time instills their internal desire to beat that time the next day.  Our family has used math sharks for early elementary mental math going into our second generation now.  That's not all.  This handy tool prepares students for math memorization beginning with one digit addition and subtraction and goes all the way to pre-algebra.  Take a look.  It's so worth the $40 to never have  to teach your own child math again.

If you touch the sides of the body cavity with the tweezers, Sam's nose lights up and a loud buzzer sounds.  The person with the most money in completed operations wins!

+5 of 5. Each race (faction) has a completely different set of advantages and one disadvantage. Each race also has a set of advanced technologies they can research, which further grant advantages and some even are a great counteroffensive (like rendering Romulan Cloaks ineffective). You would think some might have too great of an advantage, but if that's the case you may just need to put your advantages to better use. All in all the game is well balanced and offers a lot of replayability due to a massive number of Exploration and Advancement cards.

+Here's an example of how the game went for us: I was playing with my dad, my mom, and my 10 year old niece. I ask "Who is my favorite band?" My Dad immediately writes down the correct answer. My mom writes down a really good second place answer. And my niece asks me how old I am. This appears to have been a question designed to help her to choose an appropriate artist - she wrote down "Elvis Presley." To her credit, she spelt it right. Unfortunately for her, that is not on my list. I choose my answer and chaos ensues - my mom can't believe it, my dad is gloating, and my niece wants to know just what is wrong with Elvis - I mean, it's her grandpa's favorite! Then it's my niece's turn - her question is "What would I want my name to be?" As it turns out, it's a closely guarded secret, since I've never once even heard her say the name Chloe let alone know that she wanted to be called that. And so it went. "What beverage would be the worst replacement for milk in cereal?" "What would your superhero name be?" We were in tears from laughing so hard most of the game.

+It wasn't always this way though.  When I first tried out Netrunner I was actually pretty disappointed.  I had heard for years from gamers about Richard Garfields other CCG that didn't last long but was even better than Magic.  I even considered dropping money on a very steeply priced starter for Netrunner on Ebay.  But then I heard Fantasy Flight Games we re-releasing it.  And in an LCG format no less!  Constructible and fairly priced?  Sweet!  So I bought a core set.  And meh.  Thats how I felt.  The rules were complicated.  And it seemed like the runner always won.  Finally I gave up and shelved the game for a few months.  Then I was browsing the net and noticed that so many people were raving about the game.  Had I been unfair in my evaluation?  Maybe so.  I decided to give it another go.

+* Fluxx expansion packs will work with Monty Python Fluxx. You can combine other full Fluxx decks, too. (Though Monty Python Fluxx has color illustrations on the card fronts, while some of the older Fluxx game card images are B&W line drawings.)
+Each creature has a card numbered 0-10 that reflects their combat value for that round.  You can play these cards on top of each other, so you don't want to smugly throw that 10 on the Gorgon you're betting on in the first round, because your opponent can throw a zero on top of it at any time, and it's goodbye Gorgon and your points with it.  Plus you have "Spectator" cards that show unique creatures numbered 0-10.  These act like "wild" cards that can be played on top of any combatants still in the fight.  They can either bail you out or hurt your opponent, and additionally they void a creature's special ability if one is played on top of them.

You play with game pieces that include handguns and stacks of cash, where the object of the game is to exploit and fight other players in the game.

+5689	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	the Fluxx games are loved by kids and hated by grown ups.  IMO, this is because there is no strategy.  Randomness and Chaos prevail.  My girls love this, love how the rules change frequently and have lots of fun laughing when the Captain's Hat is out.
+However, for the dedicated gamers who are GoT fans, this is definitely a fun experience as you build power to take the throne.  The cards are really nice looking.  I've always found Fantasy Flight Games to make nice games, and this one is no exception.
+One of the coolest features of the game is the app, which can be downloaded for iOS, Android, and Windows. This app tells you everything you need to know, like how much money you have to spend, when to research new technology, where to deploy your troops and interceptors, as well as where the aliens are attacking.

+The one thing that keeps this game at home, and not in my purse, is that it seems to take slightly (15-20 minutes) longer to play.  I don't know if it is the nature of the Python-specific Creeper cards designed to sandbag you from winning, or if some of the rules are just different enough from the basic game to make gameplay more complex, but my husband and I have yet to play a game of Monty Python Fluxx that takes shorter than 25 minutes.

+2290	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I love that the elf is posable.  The story is cute.  Although it was hard to hold my 3 year olds attention, he did sit through the story.
+While the game is playable solo, it really shines with a full team of 4 players who are all working together to try to stave off the ever increasing threat of the growing alien forces. And that threat is real. Too much damage to the base? You lose. Too many countries panicking because you went overbudget, had too many UFOs left, or had a lot of random crises? You lose. Every game gives you that sense of tension as the numbers slowly start to overwhelm you, causing more countries to panic, which leads to less funding for the next round. The ultimate goal is to survive long enough for the app to tell you the final mission is available and then to complete that mission. The game can be brutal and the cost of failure in any mission is high, especially when one bad roll leaves a couple of your interceptors destroyed or several of your soldiers dead. That also makes a victory feel that much better.

I was initially put off by the theme and the mentioning of winning the $1 million dollar prize on the advertisement.  I immediately thought there would be paper money involved and it would be like Monopoly where I would have to be a banker,,,and yech.  But no, I was WRONG. There is no fake money involved!

You do this by collecting train cards of different colors that match up with the various routes on the board in order to claim them. At the start of the game you are given tickets with different routes planned out and bonus points attatched to them depending on the difficulty of the route. The strategy comes into play because their are a limited number of routes on the board and the other players are also trying to claim them.

Much of what I come up with or have purchased, my daughter finds boring.  Not so with this math game!  She actually expected to find this game dull, but she is hooked.  She literally came to understand decimals much better just by playing with this "toy" for less than half an hour, and she enjoys trying to beat her previous timing.  It comes with a booklet that shows HOW to perform the various math operations if the child does not yet know how, then the game is used for practicing.  Once they are comfortable with a level, they can advance to the next hardest level.  This is the first math learning anything I've found that she finds entertaining, and it really does improve her math skills, so I'm happy, too!  It teaches several skills including adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, fractions, percents, decimals, and it can be used as a calculator, too.  My daugher said to give it 5 stars.

+(3) It's a game of chance, so my child never feels badly if he's not the winner of the game.  We take turns taking the lead on the board throughout each game and, because the spinner dictates which square we land on, he doesn't blame himself if he doesn't turn out the winner every time. This is also a good lesson for him to learn!
+Overall, if you are looking for a new game to play and/or are a big fan of Settlers (or other strategy based games), I would highly recommend this game for you.

+6608	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	I just received this in the mail, and am so disappointed with the quality. I know it's not very expensive, but it couldn't have cost more than $3.00 to make. The box does not look like the picture here--it is white, generic-looking and is paper thin and flimsy, and I'm sure the game itself is cheap looking too. The box top does not lift off like you would think.  It is a Christmas present for my son, and he'll probably be fine with it, but what happened to the days when board games came in sturdy cardboard boxes that would last for years? Is there a specific company that still produces board games of quality material?

+The variation that we have played at parties and at home is:
+Simply draw one of the question cards.  Each player writes down their answer and the player with the highly prized Select-o-Matic 6000 becomes the judge.  The judge rules on who's answer is correct (well, maybe correct isn't the exact answer here - let's say that it's the answer that the judge loves the most).  Each correct winning answer earns points and the most points wins.  This is definitely a great party game adults would really love getting into with their wacky answers as well as younger children with their version of the answers to questions.

I started playing with some of my engineering friends, I'm an engineer as well, and we couldn't have had more fun.  Be prepared.  The rulebook is pretty extensive and can get complicated once you get into the advanced rule set.  We found the basic rules kind of boring and pretty exploitable, so pretty much started with the advanced rules gradually adding concepts the more we played.

+Like most board games, you advance around the board while answering questions requiring you to think critically.  Some people term this method of analysis as 'lateral thinking'.  The answers to some questions may or may not be entirely obvious to you.  Some questions require step by step logic, others require higher order thinking, others require truth value logic.

+The conceit is that the players are the crew on a Gnome Submarine (don't sweat the gnome bit - it plays only a "color" role in the game). This submarine is the worst maintained craft to ever set sail and the crew spend all their time fighting fires, pumping floods, fixing the engines or the oxygen pumps or the reactor or the eager to self-launch missile armament. And if that isn't bad enough, *someone* really should go out with an aqualung and a spear and kill the Kraken before it cracks the hull like an eggshell.
+577	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	As I noted in my title, I think that's the best way to describe this game.  Letters that are more difficult to use have higher point values, though there are some "Qu" cards vs. just a "Q" card, but that also makes a difference in points.  It's quick to play, easy to catch on to and very portable.  Scrabble is one of my favorite games, but takes seemingly forever to play - this provides a very enjoyable word game experience.

+Cons:
+9285	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I brought this drum for my one year old for his birthday. Hes a typical baby who loves to bang things so I decided a drum would be perfect for him. As I browsed around Amazon, I found many baby drums, but all of them looked like toys that can outgrow within a few years. When I saw the Remo drum, I knew I wanted to purchase it. Its something I could see him using through his adolescent years. Its not baby looking and thats what I wanted. The drum is very lightweight and comes with two sticks. Now, if you have a child who likes to put stuff in their mouth, I wouldnt recommend this product. Im not sure what the top parts of the sticks are made of, but they have a weird smell that I would not want in my childs mouth. Overall though, he loves the drums.

I've been really impressed with its durability because my son has really put it to the test. He's sat on it and in it without damaging it at all! He's pounded a good beat on it and it's just great. This is a very well made drum and more than worth the price.
+In addition, the numbers are poorly formed. They are similar to some calculators, where the numbers are made up of straight lines but that's not the problem. The problem is that the lines have fairly large spaces between them which make the numbers oddly formed. When combined with how dim they are, it makes them quite difficult to read.

+The game starts off by drawing a card and playing a card.  You can put keeper cards down as part of your turn but you may also play a rule card or goal card, etc.  A goal card changes the winning objective.  A rule card might change how many cards to draw during your turn.  The game gets crazier when players have cards to steal keepers or cancel actions.

This will make the wait for Christmas so much more fun and whimsical than any advent calendar ever could. They have already been moving our elf ( we named him John after Daddy ;-) ) all over our house each night. I've wanted this for years and am now wishing I had purchased it myself sooner. Can't wait to put him in action this Christmas and truly think this would make a great gift or purchase for us kids of all ages :-). It has great illustrations, adorable direction and the book is long enough to cover the whole month of December . Job well done!
+This game is what is known as asymmetrical, meaning that each player has completely different mechanics and card interactions. Unlike games like MtG, where the turn order and card setup is essentially the same between players, this game has two different roles: the hacker and the corporation. The hacker tries to gain access to the corporation's files in order to expose wrongdoing, while the corporation builds defenses and tries to burn out the hacker and destroy his/her mind.

+Anyway, as far as gameplay goes, what I really like about this game is you are playing a faction, or as fans might call them, a House (except the Nigh Watch which might be the reason for the faction statement. This isn't just a color or a visual difference. The cards you play are going to change based on this faction and therefore how you play might adjust itself as well. Since Jon Snow and Cersei have different strengths, you're probably going to wind up playing to the strengths of the best cards you have available. Although this is a deck-building game, there are nice suggestions on what cards to start with in a deck, and I always find that is the best approach to take until everyone is comfortable enough with the cards to choose a playing style.
+
+CONCLUSION
+
+Let me start by saying this game drags on and some of the rules just over complicate a simple game. Our game with 7 people took nearly two hours due to the fact that you are constantly passing the one lone dice set around the table. This game fills the void for huge groups, but other than that it is a pass for me.

+6311	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	The ONLY reason I took a star off is because, unlike what is shown in the photo, it WILL NOT sit upright. The head is too big for the body for it to sit upright. It's an adorable plush, don't get me wrong. But I'll be cutting mine open and replacing the lower body stuffing with rice to make it sit up right.
+4518	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I had never heard of this game before until a co-worker introduced me to it. I must say that it awesome. It reminds me of that card game speed. Each person gets a set of tiles and when when everyone is ready you flip over your tiles, face up, and start making crosswords out of them. You can exchange out one time but you have to take 3 from the community pile and every time someone gets close to finishing everyone else has to pick up an extra tile and this goes on and on until the tiles run out or someone yells "Bananagram!" Then the fun begins with seeing what everyone else came up with. This game was loads of fun and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Scrabble and/or Boggle.

And yes, the intestines pouch out a bit, but a little tape across the opening takes care of that when it's not in use. The "organ-izer" is a great idea for my grandson to learn about matching parts with their pictures. He definitely gets that this stuff is also inside his body and it doesn't gross him out. It was really cute when he announced before going to the bathroom that his intestines hurt. This is definitely one of the better toys I've gotten him.

It's a fun easy game to take to parties since it's easy to learn yet hard to master.

I think that the impressions are very sophisticated and the mold itself is high quality.  For dino lovers, there so many other things you can do with these molds (make chocolate, play-doh).....but we love it for it's intended use:  Making them into magnets.  It's a great little project you can do over and over again........The paint pots that come with it are adequate and a separate gloss medium is a very thoughtful item to put into this kit.  The little booklet of dino info is simple but also just as adequate.  I bought this kid for around [......] and i think it was well worth it.

+Final verdict - Probably the best family card game ever invented. It will continue to entertain and challenge you and your family for generations- however- initially there will be growing pains as everyone tries to learn the rules and strategy.
+The only reason I am not giving 5 stars, is the poor quality of the board and the game cards. They are made of thin cardboard and simply won't stay flat.

+This is a great addition to the X-Wing game in many different ways.  As usual the ships look great and include everything you need to play them (though the original starter set is still required). It has an MSRP of $60, but you can get it for as little as $40-50 if you shop around online.  It is definitely worth it as it adds the first huge ship and epic play rules, it includes tons of new pilots and upgrades for your Rebel fleet, a couple of which can also be used in Imperial fleets (especially when the start releasing huge Imperial ships). I do wish more of the upgrades could be used on Imperial ships the way many of the upgrades from Imperial Aces could be used on rebel ships. But, hopefully this will be rectified when they eventually start releasing huge Imperial ships to the game (I am looking very forward to that day).

+6255	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	I give it 1 star only because it came ahead f schedule, other than that, how anybody else who knows anything about the rc world can give this thing more than maybe 2 stars is beyond me. Were do I start, lets see, got it May 29, ran it around for a bit and I was surprised low level crawler was doing really good. Took to crawl some rocks and dirt the next day, not even 24 hours out of the box and for some reason it started out good but after 10 minutes its not climbing anything very well, must be the battery, its dead. Charge it up, lets go again, oh wait, same thing, hmmmm, what could it be, oh wow look at that, the rear axle is pushing but front axle is just spinning. Ok so lets pick it up and test something, with the rear wheels on the ground it wants to push like its crawling, put the front down and pick up the back with the front tires on the ground and the driveshaft just spins and tires don't even feel like they want to move. Well to make this story shorter, rear axle started doing the same thing few hours later, so lets see if we can figure what happened, let me notify the seller also and see if maybe something is wrong with mine sine this has a 4 1/2 start review. Well I figured it out and the locker inside the front and rear axles is garbage, its not even a good locker, its cheap plastic, so I start looking for parts. Mind you I sent the seller a email about my problem so, now back to the parts thing, there are some but not much, most of the main stuff like the main gear they don't have, its out of stock like everywhere and don't worry the upgraded one is out of stock also. So now I don't know what to do, I have a crawler that doesnt crawl and also its beyond slow, maybe three to four mph. Next day, finally seller emails me back and informs me of a website, Nitrorcx.com and they have every part for this truck. Well since I was already at that site I knew that was wrong, I emailed them back and the basically told me I can return it and get my money back or get a new one but thats it, no more returns. So basically they are telling  me if I return it for a new one Iam screwed if something is wrong with that one also. I don't know what to do cause this was for my son who saved and worked is butt off for 2 months. This truck need modifications to be a decent truck, not good, decent. I don't think the regular person who doesnt know rc should get this truck cause as we all know you get what you pay for, as far as the seller, rude and unknowledgeable, if your going to sell something at least know the product before you ship me off to someone else. If I could take away a 1/2 star I would.

The price point was good for us.  We used it in the living room, the yard, and the beach with our ~1 year old.  Unfortunately, one of the plastic tubes of the poles bent and now the tent doesn't work quite right.  I will investigate getting a replacement.  Given that as an adult trying to be careful, I easily messed up the pole, I'm not sure how well this tent would stand up to abuses by older kids.  It's a cute tent, but be careful when you're setting it up & taking it down.
+One of my favorite things is that the app provides a tutorial difficulty setting that pops up instructions for each role on screen to be passed around so everyone can read a brief set of instructions telling them what they need to know. Each role itself is fairly easy to get a grasp on, though they all have plenty of room for depth and strategic decisions. After getting your feet wet, you can increase the difficulty level for an even greater challenge, but also making victory that much sweeter! Though the difficulty can be a bit unforgiving at times, all the systems work very well together to give you the tools to create a tension-filled, thematic story. I would highly recommend this game if you are looking for a fun co-op experience or just want to feel like you're saving the world!
+2088	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This little elf is magic!  After the children have named him their behavior improves as you remind him/her that the elf is watching. Each morning the elf mysteriously changes position and it is great fun finding him and checking what he is up to. He hangs from the Christmas tree, dangles from the chandelier, and sometimes has tea with a Teddy Bear or on occasion Barbie. He can be dressed and redressed and loves to eat chocolate kisses which he forgets to clean up and leaves wrappers around and perhaps a smudge of chocolate left on his face. The genius is that the elf can't be touched by human hands. The children take this quite seriously. He flies to the North Pole to report to Santa which is a great encourager of good behavior. This worked on a charm on my less than perfect granddaughter (whom I love dearly).  I haven't heard one parent complain about this wonderful elf.

+Set up is pretty quick and easy once you are familiar with the game, but there is a bit of a steep learning curve before you get to that point. I don't feel that this detracts from the game at all. It's nothing near the level of Axis & Allies or even the C&C games. It's really just separating cards and tokens, drawing character cards and setting them up with the little skill sliders (a very neat component of the game) and money and items, selecting the Great Old One for tonight's game, and putting your character pawns on the their starting location as delineated by the character card. You then add clue tokens to those locations on the board that need them, and you are pretty much done. I store the different loose components in plastic baggies, but I would bet that putting them in a little plastic divider box would speed things up. There are some excellent card tuck boxes on the web. If you use these, the cards will not fit back in the insert in the game box, and I found that it's easier for me to use the insert in the box and then quickly separate the cards before play. You may find differently and I recommend that you at least try those tuck boxes...they are really neat. In any case, the set up is pretty quick and then everyone should be ready to play. I would think that 15-20 minutes might be an average set up time, and given that this is a set up for a 3 hour game, it's not too bad, and that's why I say that this is a *relatively* quick set up.

+8870	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I got this for my dino crazy 5 yr old and we have been very pleased with it. I highly recommend this toy..Basically you cast the plaster of paris when it is set you paint it glue magnet on the back to make it kind of a puzzle. what is interesting is that the box comes with information about the bones.....and that is an added value in itself.

+ Balance
+7823	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	not a good product, it has very basic functions and this kind of features are available in 10$ registers at toysrus...very expensive and not worth the bucks. secondly the quality of material is very poor.
+3631	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I didn't know if I would like this bag as first but earn the box came in and we opened it we were shocked. This bag was big enough to fit an orange into. So we put all of our dice and miniatures in it. It does have a velvet texture and is thin cloth but it works well.
+Very Random
+4022	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Perfect!
+The game is relatively fast paced and an appropriate amount of simultaneous interaction between other players.  I've played this a handful of times with friends and once people grasp the concepts and strategy, a couple can play a game in 15-20 minutes.  I also like the fact there is a solo variant included, where you play against the 'timer deck' (i.e., a set amount of cards are available at the start, and with each re-shuffling of 'your' hand, a card is 'removed' from the supply...once the supply deck is exhausted, game over (about 20 hands, give or take).
+2468	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Very happy with the set, nice quality for the price.

+1500	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is such a fun game to play.  I love it because their is strategy involved but it is easy to explain it and play it right off the bat.  Their isn't a lot of instructions.  We love it and also played it online for 6 month strait after we got it.  Great for all ages and learn about where the different states are and places.
+4635	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	i bought this for my 8yr old grandson for christmas. He had a great time with it. It was compact so easy to carry around outside for exploring. the value for what you get is great. it worked perfectly.

I am so happy and very impressed with the quality of this drum.  It's very well made.  Nice and sturdy and seems like it will stand up well to use by children!
+1466	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	As others have noted, this game is a perfect way to spend quality time with spouse and/or kids.  If nothing else, it can familiarize kids with geography, which is something kids do not seem to get enough of these days.  The game does not have the strategic depth of say Civilization or Chess, and for that some serious gamers turn their noses at this game a bit.  But that is not the niche this game serves.  This game is designed to draw groups of people together for the sake of having fun.  And for that purpose this game meets this goal and then some.  I can easily see our family playing this game once a week.  The rules are simple,  but don't be fooled:  just because this game does not have the strategic depth of some other games out there, there is still thinking and strategy involved.  There will be many opportunities in this game to foil your opponents and you are constantly asking yourself on a turn "Should I try to achieve MY goal, or should I block theirs?"  In my opinion, families who play Monopoly could repalce Monopoly with this game and would be glad they did.  This game sort of scratches the same itch that Monopoly attempts to scratch, only this game does it FAR better.  Monopoly does not have enough mechanics and variety to justify the time spent; Ticket to Ride does.
+7115	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	kids love it.
+The basic idea in this game is to pickup resources to build trains on a large map of the US and connect as many cities as you can.  You have pre-determined routes to achieve by connecting certain cities to one another.  The trick and skill to this game is maximizing your network of tracks and connecting as many cities as possible...while keeping a continuous train.  The reason this game is so great is that you have a lot of activity at all times (picking up resources, connecting cities by placing trains on the board, picking up new routes/goals, etc.).  The other nice feature to this game and most Euro-games is that players are never fully eliminated.  Although someone might be far from winning, they are still in the game and can play a part.  The final part of this game which is so much fun is that once the final turn has been triggered, there is a big reveal of sorts where everyone shows their secret routes they were trying to achieve and gain points (or lose them!) based on their success.  The game can have many twists in turns in the final scoring.
+1644	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	In LOVE!!!! New tradition with my kids!!!! 
+People who are used to planning a few moves ahead will take a little longer to truly enjoy this game since the constant changing can mess up all their forward planning, but once you accept this unpredictability as a challenge in itself, then you can have some real fun with Fluxx.
+- Some of the pieces are complex for my four year old to assemble. At the same time, I expect a kid 6+ will find this game overly simplistic
+1137	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is such a fun game for our whole family.  It's a fun way to learn the location of the 50 states.  As a homeschool mom I am always looking for ways to make learning fun.  We play with our 7, 9 and 11 year old kids and they all enjoy it.
+1006	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Ticket to Ride is a great game for both new comers to modern board games and for veteran players. I want to stress that the game takes on entirely different mechanics for people that play it often. When you first start playing the game, you stay pretty focused on simply making your routes and generally trying to stay out of other peoples way. It's not hugely interactive and can sometimes feel like multiple people are playing independent games on the same board, only interacting if their paths happen to cross. This completely changes when people get enough experience to start knowing the different routes by memory and start to be able to keep track of their opponents cards and draws. You can start to get a lot more intentional blocking and racing to claim certain key segments, which makes the game a lot more of an interactive and feel more "high stakes". It also doesn't ever really feel "old" or "played out". Great classic game.
+
+1982	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This just seems like one of those instant classic toys. We starting using the Elf on the Shelf last year after our kids were asking about why we did not get an elf and so-and-so does. Within days it felt like we had been using the elf toy for years. Our children enjoy the hunt each morning, especially if Elf has been mischievous during the night. This always brings out big laughs. It does not take much effort to find a place for Elf to be each morning. No worries if Elf decides to stay put two days in a row...it must be a comfortable spot. Notably, Elf's legs have creases to bend, but the arms do not. That said, you can fold the arms, they just do not have creases built in.
+4193	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Smaller then I first realized, but works great for what I need. Its very pretty
+5505	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	It's a nice puzzle, take note that it was to big for a standard card table so make sure you have a place to assemble it

+8417	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Love this. I bought my daughter (8)  this for Chanukah and I played this when I was her age. Cant believe they still make it. Alot of fun! (I'm 57).
+6935	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This was a Christmas gift and our LO loved it.  Has a nice amount of play money and the credit card and slot just put it over the top.  He loves to grocery shop and play cashier whenever he can.  As an added bonus we are now starting to count money and this set works perfectly for explaining and showing coins.
+I agree that the character progression chart is redundant.  It's useful only if you are actively creating battle scenarios while playing your own adventure: though most savvy GMs will actually have a pre-made list of potential random encounters and an average xp and gp range to allocate.  Attacks of opportunity would have been more welcome... or there are several other things that are in the additional rules which would have made sense.

+
+The only reason I didn't give the elf 5 stars is because you are expected to move the little critter every night to prove his magical abilities. It's not that hard once you get used to it. And if you do forget, come on, seriously, you can play it off. If you're relaxed about it, your kids probably will be too.
+1452	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My wife and I like board games, but have a hard time finding new games for adults.  We first caught wind of this game on the YouTube show Table Top.  When we first got this game, we didn't quite understand the rules and went through a couple of rounds playing wrong.  Going back, the rules were pretty simple, we had just overlooked one thing.  This is the most used board game at our house and is far more fun for us than any of the games we had been playing (more traditional board games).  The quality is amazing, the cards are a heavier stock than a cheap playing card, which will help the life of the game, and the playing peices are nicely made.
+9862	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	The closure on the carton is very flimsy. I can see it breaking in the near future and the eggs are pretty hard to open but my son still loves it!
+5659	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	I was dissapointed that the cards looks just like the original Fluxx.  The same border, text, and bland pictures.  Cartoon Network Fluxx is a much better example of how to do a follow up to the original.
+The Comedy version has a lot of stuff from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s - probably more but I haven't experienced everything on the DVD yet.  I was really surprised when we had a question referencing the movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" - mostly because that movie just recently came out no more than 4 weeks ago.
+Christopher Pop-in-kins is much cuter and much better made than the Elf on the Shelf.
+8800	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Our daughter loves this car.  Hers was passed down from a relative, and is about 6 years old, but still looks GREAT!  It is east to clean, infact we make a game of it.  Hannah washes her car while Mommy washes her car.  I like that they have to push themselves around, I think it makes for more creative play.  This toy is just as good as any of the Little Tykes items.  It will last forever.
+You will be surprised at your abilities (or lack thereof, of your opponents) and you will be entertained.  This game will be favored by those with the ability for abstract thinking versus concrete thinking.

+You have a handful of tiles marked like a bingo board and one central "bingo board."  Every turn, you play a tile to the corresponding spot on the board.  If it is adjacent to another tile that isn't already a company, you get to start a new company.  If it's adjacent to another company, that company just grows.  If it's on its' own, nothing happens.  You can then buy some stock in companies which exist, draw back up to a full hand of tiles, and turn progresses.

A very fun game which emphasizes negotiation and backstabbing between players. If you aren't an experienced gamer or you're planning to introduce this to casual gamers or nongamers who are interested in the GoT franchise, be aware that this isn't a true "gateway" game like Catan or Ticket to Ride, etc. The rules are not overly complex, but they do take some focus to learn.

+996	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	If you are looking for a game the whole family will love, get this game. It is colorful, well built and fun.  My son loves maps and trains, so this was a win-win.  You draw out destinations your trains need to go and you build tracks between here and there.  Other train makers can block your path on the way to their destinations and you may have to find another route.  We played on Christmas day and we had a great time.  This is a well made game and should be in every game-loving family.  We are considering purchasing the other versions as well.  Good times for all.

+I currently have 9 different versions of this game, and after you master this one, I would suggest adding the 1910 expansion, or the Ticket to Ride Europe version.
+
+If you do not have patience, or your children do not, and rather just "play" then I wouldn't recommend this game. It isn't a "turn key" game or a game that doesn't require time or patience. But if your children like legos or engineering, or building things in general, they might enjoy this game.
+Overall, we were a little worried that our daughter was not quite ready for her very own operative, but we were pleasantly surprised at how much she talked about George.

Quirkle is essentially an abstract game, and can best compared with Scrabble, but with colours and shapes instead of letters.  If you enjoy games like Dominoes, Ingenious, Set, or Blokus, this tile-laying game will definitely appeal to you.
+Speaking of decks, the game doesn't come with enough cards to put together a proper one. It comes with many different factions (there are a lot more factions than in the first edition base game) but there are not enough of these and the neutral cards to put together a tournament deck.

Each card sets up the vehicles in different configurations.  The player has to find a way to get the red car out of rush hour traffic jams and to the exit space, by moving the vehicles around.  It requires patience, concentration, motor coordination, and spatial reasoning in varied degrees of difficulty.  There are other versions by ThinkFun.

[Note: There are a total of 60 cards with three questions on each side.] The other players then write down an answer to the question. Once all answers have been submitted, the judge uses the Select-O-Matic 6000 (a cardboard spinner-like device) to select the answer he likes best and places the device face down. Next, everyone but the judge uses their two tokens to select the answer he thinks that the judge has chosen. (You may put your two tokens on the same answer or split them between two different answers.)
+3316	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series is absolutely wonderful.  It succeeds largely by presenting a grand, epic scope of wars and conflict, dragons, and wraiths, but also manages to create interesting characters and tell intimate stories.  Other key factors in the books are treachery, intrigue, and betrayal.  Fantasy Flight Games' "A Game of Thrones: The Board Game" manages to recreate all of the thrilling adventure of the books, but most importantly offers that same great sense of back-stabbing and double-crossing.

As soon as your baby can crawl/stand they'll push right out of it. This is really only good for a sleeping baby because once your child is old enough to want to sit and play in it willingly, it'll be too small. Really wanted to like it...

+8113	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	AN OLD GAME BUT A CLASSIC! Wish Hasbro would re-issue this instead of the one they have going around now! It's just not the same! All the pieces seem to be here, and besides some show of age it looks in perfect condition! Very excited to have this classic game back!
+4877	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	They weren't kidding when they said "extreme"!  My engineering husband was completely in a trance doing a page that went up well above 1,000 dots.  And, our 7 year-old (who we really bought them for!) thinks they're awesome.
+9082	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I had a set just like this as a kit and was thrilled to find it again.  My board had long since bitten the dust and it was nice to play chinese checkers again.  Great strategy game.  The marbles were plastic but still worked.  I'd buy it again.
+Things that are required-
+There are cards you get that require you to connect your trains to 2 cities. You have to keep at least one in the beginning of the game, but can draw more later on. These become important for getting a lot of points. However, not connecting your trains between those cities means you lose points.

+6132	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Highly detailed and very good quality
+2224	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Our family has played this game over and over!
+This ball will fascinate anyone who picks it up,be they young,old, inquisitive or simply someone who likes to hold,handle and play with things. As soon as one realizes that reassembling it is not nearly as difficult as one might imagine;then the creative juices start to flow and they try to see what they can form. The book gives a lot of sculptures or forms to make;but in no time ,one wants to try their own ideas.
+OR (3) Choose additional destination card(s).
+
+3320	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	A great update to a great game.  Some people complain about the strategy, which is very rudimentary, but I like it because it levels the playing field.  The plastic miniatures are a nice touch (we're painting them to match the cards), although there were a couple of small casting errors on ours.
+3895	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) is one of the top fantasy game manufacturers in the world.  Their games are always of the highest quality components, and their products are extensively play tested.
+748	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Ticket to Ride is a game where you build trains to different locations in the United States and Canada, it is a very fun game, my family was obsessed with this game for approximately a week or so.
+Since the letters don't have a point value, the winner of the round is the first person to use all their letters once the community pile is gone.  Bananagrams is unique in that the more players you have, the faster the game goes.  A two player game has long rounds with very large crosswords, while a six player game has rounds lasting about five minutes.
+5035	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This has been a fun game for our family.  We don't follow all the rules, but it's fun to make up our own.  And the math be as simple - or as complex - as the children / adults playing in the game.  Which is all fun.  :)
+If you're looking for an easy to get into, relaxed game then try it out. You'll probably enjoy it.
+5739	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	I do like these cards because they are sturdy and the photos (not cartoons) are great. The price is great too! But as soon as your child can sound out words, he/she can not use these to quiz himself. The Spanish word is on both sides, so you have to cover it when wanting the child to respond to the picture without reading. But I agree with the other review - for ages 4 and under, these are nice, practical words that are useful for any level of Spanish learning.
+9046	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is going to be a Christmas present.  I know it will be perfect.  Love the exterior pictures and the sound of the drum.  The quality is excellent; glad I chose this one.

+Excellent Components
+1556	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Oh what a pain in the rump it is to move this guy around and set up some scene every night.  But how fun it is to watch the kids search for and find little "Tommy".  My 3 are very young, so the magic is real.  Won't last forever, but it's been a fun addition to this Christmas.

+OVERALL
+3273	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	At our first time playing the game we spent over two hours reading the rules. And I really wish that was an exaggeration. We didn't even have enough time to finish an actual game. But I am looking forward to playing again some time so that must mean something.

+no need for a mess this book was VERY nice too
+2361	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	The cards are well made and add extra options to the game. My players love them. The standard deck only has art on the face cards though.
+894	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This game is great! It has quickly become my families favorite game to play. My wife and I were introduced to it at a couples game night party. The rules are pretty straight forward and easy to learn. Like most fun games it is easy to learn and hard to master. I've played this with my six year old and he gets the concept pretty well. The only thing we've done differently when he plays is we show all of our train cards rather than keep them secret.
+"Yeah, but it's HIS birthday.  I didn't buy it for us, I bought it for him!"
+Ha aha haha. If you've read this far, you have too much time. Or you're fascinated by weirdos going about validating their existence in strange ways. I'm an attention vampire. And to keel me you must play this game. Play more board games. Demand that stores have better board games. Have game nights at your house.

+What do I get in this expansion pack I will use?
+5731	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I do not recommend this if you are new to Fluxx - start with the basic game and learn that.  You will need people who are able to deal with change to play with you - in Fluxx the rules keep changing, and I have found that some people hate the game for that reason.
+3372	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Our son loves this game !
+
+All in all, I"m pleased with this purchase. Even if it breaks tomorrow, I feel my child has gotten enough out of it to make it worthwhile.
+
+Their strategy fails miserably with Chutes and Ladders.  Did Hasbro even product-test the new version?  First, I want to say, I think C&L is a great game. It's educational because it tries to teach beginner math skills and instill some morals through the pictorial depictions on the game board.  I have fond memories of playing it as a preschooler during the early 1980's (yikes), but this current version, which my daughter has, fills me with annoyance every time she drags it out.

+Goal / Gameplay
+8639	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My son absolutely loves this.  I bought it for him for his second birthday to teach him about small and big and he got the concept of big and small very quick.  He loves running around the house with it expanding it and saying "big", and then collapsing it and saying "small".  We play a lot of games with it and I am quite frankly surprised that we haven't broken it yet!  Yes, my 2 year old has had it for almost 6 months and uses it daily and hasn't broken it yet!  I am impressed.  It's a great learning toy that is also great for games and physical activity.  I would suggest this toy to other parents of small children.  My son loves it and I am very happy with this purchase.

+9125	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	I was hoping to get the old fashion version but got the new version instead.  I still like the old version better but could not find it.
+If you haven't played Fluxx before, you may want to try out the basic version first. The rules start out simple but change rapidily or "Fluxx". It can be quite confusing at times.
+8628	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	This came in a plastic bag wrapped in bubble wrap. It was partly squished and looks like it won't last very long. The plastic is flimsy looking. Not nearly as substantial feeling as the glow in the dark one I previously purchased.

+4203	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	cool, but not that great.  Experiments were kind of boring.
+9986	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I prefer this butterfly net over other brands (where the drawstring net has to be hung on a base with a hook). So much easier to use this! Price is great too, such great value. This is great for classroom, the kids are enjoying seeing the butterfly's life cycle! Insect Lore has never let us down!!
+A Game of Thrones The Board Game 2nd Ed. is set up to play three to six players. With rules to adjust for the amount of players in the game. The game itself is not for the casual gamer per sey. It's a long game of strategy that can easily go over four hours but oh what a four hours it is! All the theme and feel you could ever want in a strategy game is locked in this incarnation. All the houses: Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, Tyrell, Greyjoy and Martell, are in this game as you battle for territory in Westeros with political intrigue, back stabbing and hard fought war campaigns.
+4356	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This game is only fun if you get the right crowd. Some people hate "thinking" games when they're drinking. Half my friends didn't want to touch it and the other half vowed to come back and play it another time.
+8398	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Classic board game.  My children love board games and my husband and I enjoy getting them ones we enjoyed ourselves as kids.  That's just what you are getting the same classic game you remember when you were young.
+6873	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	I have always loved this game.  I used to play Mastermind for hours with my siblings.  Now, I have shared this game with my kids.  We got this new version since my original game has been long lost.  This version seems to have some design flaws though.  The storage compartment is difficult to close and is always getting pegs stuck in the tiny holes on the side.  I have given up using it and store the pieces in a separate bag.  Also, it is hard for adult fingers to put pegs into the code maker section.  Otherwise, it is a terrific game.
+
+2306	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My 4 yer old son believed this elf was really keeping an eye on him. He loved waking up every morning to see where he moved to. If the elf didn't move (which means someone was not behaving) my son would blame my 5 month old son lol so that the elf would let Santa know that my other son was being bad.
+
+982	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My kids still play this game whenever there's a family gathering.  It's a favorite.
+The only draw back I have for the game is that the rules are laid out poorly (I highly recommend watching the Watch It Played series on YouTube to learn the game very quickly)  Oh, and there is one rule that in my opinion kind of spoils the game.  At the end of the game each treasure that has not been used is meant to count as one experience point.  This encourages hoarding of treasures instead of using them to "push your luck" and delve further into each dungeon run which to me is the entire point of the game.  I highly recommend having a house rule where the only items worth experience at the end of the game are: town portals (worth 2xp if not used) and 2 dragon scales = 2 points (1 dragon scale = no points).  All other unused loot is simply discarded.  With this simple rule I have found the game to be much more even between multiple players and it no longer ends up being the guy who was lucky enough to roll the most treasure chests that wins by default.  Players are also far more willing to push their luck as they have no incentive to hoard items.
+250	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This was given as a gift and the recipient was thrilled. The game play is perfect for both advanced players of D&D and those who are just beginning. Gameplay can be incorporated with other game systems. The 'minis' are awesome and are capable to be utilized in other games. The cards and puzzle board pieces are sturdy and are of a good quality. Highly recommended.
+2.  If only the little maps were a little bigger.  Yeah the tokens work placing them on the map, but the scale is off.  A little annoying.
+
+9991	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	We took this tent on vacation with us for our 9 month old son to use on the beach.  We needed something to contain him and keep him out of the sand.  Super portable and fun for him and his brother to play in.

+4th Edition: A handful of single page character sheets that use a simplified ruleset than the actual 4E one.
+Here's how the game rates following my Five Gaming Criteria that I use for all game reviews:
+*Not enough money tokens. We played with two people and at the end, didn't have enough money tokens for what we had earned.
+-Not great for groups larger than 2...at first
+7785	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We've had these for about a year.  My 3 year old granddaughter still plays with them and spells words.  The almost 2 years old loves to stack them and then knock them down.  They are solid as is the box the blocks go in.
+6593	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	not only a great game helps kids count also. everyone should love this game most of us grew up with it
+
+5406	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This game only takes about 5-10 minutes to learn.  Your strategy for play will change as others make their plays, which keeps it interesting. A great game for all ages, even if all of them don't read very well yet.
+*Although there are a lot of steps, once you get the hang of itieby the end of your first game, you kind of get the hang of what you are doing. Once everyone got it the game play was quick and fun.
+8772	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My son got this for his birthday from his Grandparents when he turned One.  He loves it and so do the two neighbor toddlers.  They all fight over it.  My son turns it over and runs it into things and it has held up for 8 months now.  My husband will tell you it was a pain to put together and the stickers do not last on it.  Other than that the car has been a huge hit with our son and the neighbors.
+One weird part too is when you finally start to cut the yarn the instructions indicate something like "you might find the yarn falls to the middle when you are cutting...don't worry! it won't fall out" when in fact OH HECK YEAH its gonna fall out...unless you position your other hand to hold the middle of the donut appliance firmly to hold the shreds in place.  Not a step for young ones for sure.
+39	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Nice book but it was so small.  I should have read the size of the book.  It's about as big as my palms.  The activities looks fun for little ones, good for the car.  It will keep him busy for a few minutes.
+
+8624	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We have played this game weekly for months. Even the adults enjoy it. Uses math skills in a fun way.
+The only problem with Kingsburg is the way the battles are handled. The king's aid is a die roll. This eliminates so much strategy that it renders this aspect of the game meaningless. The expansion solves this problem luckily.
+If you are an avid fan and have a solid knowledge of the series, you will love it. For the rest of us, it can be quite confusing. But, my son is happy. My husband enjoys it, and my two younger children (ages 10 1/2 and 12) are able to play along with a little help.
+3955	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	this miniature is a beautiful sculpt.  it comes with additional cards and pieces that also serve as a nice expansion to the core X-wing set.  this ship is bigger than the others and has a rear firing arc, so it really mixes things up.
+
+5057	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Fun game! I like that it can be a 2 person game as there aren't many good games that are 2 person. I think it is also good for all ages.
+I'm always up for a game of Taboo.  It's different every time you play it because the same people never get the same words twice.  Get it today and start enjoying.
+The pages are glossy, as I said, with full color illustrations derived (I think) from the graphic novels. Each page is colored and decorated as though it were part of a spiral-bound magical notebook, and the text is littered with post-its, blue highlighter and marginalia purportedly between the collaborators of the design team.
+8523	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Got this game for my 6-year-old. I think it will be fun in another year or so. The rules are kind of hard to explain.
+We go back and forth on the games we'll play.  I'm into strategy and spatial games:  days of wonder games, carcassonne, blokus, that sort of thing.  He likes storied RPGs.  I *really* don't like the Mars Attacks! and Last NIght on Earth games, but the birthday lad sure does.
+4087	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	A great addition to the base game. Like everything else in this line, all the components are high quality. This is easily one of the better lines of miniatures.
+3- As opposed to just repeating a word, or trying to read it, this actually forces you to KNOW what the word means.
+
+3513	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	i've played dungeons and dragons 4e for a good year now and my friends and i are taking a break from our campaign. one of my players told me that we should try pathfinder, and i told him how i've been interested in trying it out too. since D&D is going through a beta playtest for its new edition i figure why not? i saw this box at my local hobby store so i bought it. here's what you get, a pack of die (d4,d6,d8,2d10 one with tenths the other in one values, d12, and a d20), a nice little sheet telling you want to do if you want to be a player or a Dm or GM (i prefer DM), which you get 2 books a GM guide and a Player's guide, 4 pre made characters and 4 blanket character sheets. now! this is where it loses a star because after we played a quick session with the module adventure inside we like the system and since we have some experience with table top RPG in general we have not played 3.5e of D&D which this is based from. that's not a bad thing, but my main beef is the character creation and character sheets. after this box i bought the core rulebook, bestiary, and game mastery guide. in the core rulebook the character sheet towards the back is WAY different than the beginner's character sheet. in the beginner's character sheet its conveniently made in an order which is easy and effective and not too much of a hassle. in the core rulebook you have different organization problems also new terms which the beginner's box left out are the CMB (Combat Maneuver Bonus) and CMD (Combat Maneuver Defense). i know they're different its a reason its called the beginner's box, but i feel it should still cover those terms especially since i'm not familiar with that kind of bonus and defense.
+9019	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	I was very disappointed with this toy.  When it was put in the tub the dolphins do not make sounds like they are suppose to.  The floats do not stay together and this makes my 20 mos. old very upset.  They look good and are cute but not worth the money.  Would not recommend.
+Party management is really just a game of attrition. Any one character in your party (that you rolled at the start of your turn) can kill any one creature or open a treasure chest. However, this action 'uses up' your party member, and they then go to your graveyard. You only started with seven at most, so while the first or second level of the dungeon is a breeze, making it to that eighth or ninth level can be quite a challenge. However, each class has a sort of 'sweep' ability. Mages can kill one skeleton or open one chest, but they can kill up to three slimes. A rogue can only kill one of any type of creature, but they can open up multiple treasure chests before bowing out.
+603	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We love this game!

+1253	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This game is quick to learn and easy to play while still carrying on a conversation.  My adult friends love it, while my teenagers aren't so enthralled.  Of course, that could be simply because I am making them play a game instead of sitting in front of the computer.  But when the adults sit down to play, we will still be going at it many hours and games later.

+My wife and I have found that when you play this game, eventually you get to the point were you are so strong there is nothing that can challenge you, and the end game is a cake walk. However the build up to that point is very fun and rewarding.
+5324	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I got this game for grandchildren.  They range from the ages of 18 to 11 and it was a good game for that and older folks so it was a win,win.
+
+The Living Card Game (LCG) concept takes a lot of the headaches out of this style of game which has otherwise limited good designed older games from seeing the play it deserves.  Essentially, LCG's give you everything you need to play and keep the pool of cards limited to whatever the buyer is happy with playing.  Compared the CCG's which function on rarities like a pack of baseball cards, it takes alot of resources to get a finely tuned set of cards to play the exact way you want.

+8388	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	When I read all of the bad reviews for this Gen X classic board game, I just laughed! Especially the review about the young child that played this game and got so nervous because of the buzzer that he/she threw up!  Then... I wondered about the world we live in...  Who would have thought that a simple game like Hasbro's Operation could make a person question the social decline of the next generation?

We did a lot of observing and were very excited as the caterpillars build their chrysalis, and then again as they hatched. It was fairly simple to care for the caterpillars and butterflies.  We released the butterflies within a few hours of hatching.
+6406	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My kids grew up with this game and we still play it now and then as adults.  It's a simple game that both adults and kids can enjoy and lay with one another without the adults having any big advantage -- they may or may not use better strategy! It's simple to learn too, so anyone can join in and play competently by the second round.
+
+6080	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	This is a pretty fun group game, but can drag a bit with multiple players. This is because people want to calculate their moves on the board before committing to the best possible route.  A fun variation we like to play is that when you start your turn, you declare your gear and then roll.  Once you roll, you 'drive' the car the necessary moves.  No take backs, no do overs.  This encourages players to pay attention to their car when it is not their turn, and also adds and element of hazard that would be present in a real driving\racing situation.  Makes a good party game, but you may want to limit games to one lap per game.
+My question is when I try to  play on my Fire tablet, I cannot "choose cards". The instructions has no reference to drawing your cards. I've tried tapping twice; touching and holding, with no luck. If anyone has a suggestion, please advise.
+1915	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	love this
+7228	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	I've been playing this game with my 2 and 4 year old kids.  They both really like it, and grasped the concept quickly.  I adapted the game for younger players by leaving out the muncher cards. Also we say the name of each card out loud as we lay it down so that I can use my voice inflection to cue them that it is time to slap (...tomato...hot dog...bacon...Bacon!)  My 2 year old loves to slap the sandwich thieves and say, "stop thief!"  She is too young to recognize the sandwich patterns to slap, but still has a lot of fun playing.  My 4 year old, after playing a few times, has learned to slap the doubles (2 of the same cards in a row) and is just starting to recognize the sandwiches (3 cards: 2 of the same with something different in the middle).  He has also become quicker at recognizing and slapping so that he can do it first.

+1131	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Fun family game.  We play with all our members - youngest is 7.  younger players may need a little help reading the cards and understanding where things are on the board at first.  But it works.
+Once you unpack everything, the first thing you are likely to do (after marveling at the rather cool-looking dice) is want to read the instruction manual. That can make for a slightly strained initial impression, because the instructions are somewhat poorly laid out and worded. The booklet is small, which makes sense since they want it to fit in the chest, but I wonder if it might not make sense to have it on an unfolding 'map' type of sheet. This would have given more room to include examples on how the turns might go (a common item in tabletop rulebooks) as well as giving you more information at a glance (as opposed to having to hunt from one page to another in case you sort-of-maybe-kind-of-recall seeing something relevant two pages prior). The rules are just vague enough that the first game is a slow, almost awkward affair. I recall reading it and noting that some people online saying it is just easier to watch YouTube videos of the play, which is anything but a ringing endorsement for the rule clarity.

The board and pieces are visually attractive and it requires a good dose of strategy without becoming overwhelming, it is in fact quite easy for new players to pick it up. No dice roll (great!), it is fun as you play and a match takes around 60 min... Typically everyone feels it has a chance to win until the end, so it is quite engaging all the way. It does not create direct conflict among players so it is great option for families and close friends, nobody will start arguing in the middle of the match (unless you forget to take your meds). It is best played with 4 players. It is fine but crowded with 5 people, it is fine but not as exciting with 3, and it is ok with 2. Recommended!

I think the payoff will be worth it. I hope so.
+Finally, I want to finish my review by saying that this product is still provably the best way to learn how to play a (great but fairly complex) RPG in a very approachable way.  Literally, the only thing you need is few zipper plastic bags (to store your tokens and dices) and a non-permanent marker.  Yet, with only a level 1 adventure included, I feel that for some of us the potential to utilize these amazing resources are wasted, if you lack an experienced person who can guide the rest us, who aren't very knowledgeable at the game.

It's one of those games the family can play together without getting bored. It's so variable each time you play is so different. The best part is cleaning up and putting them back in the box in a certain order. This is great for kids to learn how to do a matrix. Cleaning up is my daughters favorite part. The game itself is really high quality. The tiles are thick wood and it comes with a sturdy bag. The box is pretty heavy duty. The instructions are very straight forward

+Also included in this expansion is a new X-Wing fighter with a (slightly) new paint scheme.

There are DIY ways on how to do this on Pinterest, but honestly, who has the time?  The price is high enough for this book and elf that they could make the elf a little easier to position.

+"Battleship" has a lot to do with strategy and luck.  You have to strategically place your pieces on the grid so they won't get "hit" and you have to use that and a little bit of luck to do your darndest to sink your opponent's ships.  It can get pretty tense when both players only have one ship left, and one wrong move (or right move depending upon your situation) can end the game.

+And thats it for the downsides.  On to all the good stuff.  The theme is spot on.  Cyberpunk future awaits you and immerses you as well!  You will really feel like a powerful mega corp using any means necessary to achieve your goals.  And on the flip side you feel like a hacker messing with the corporate structure in every way you can.  The art is well done and FFG was generous with the huge amount of tokens you get in the set.  Add to that the gameplay as well.  The game is very well designed and flows quickly and steadily along.  Even though the game takes a while to play, you don't even realize it because it feels almost breakneck speed sometimes.
+Instructions- The rules are simple, and they read quickly.  However they are a bit cramped and a few of the leads get buried.  On my first game, we made two fatal flaws: we multiplied the goods sold by the price and we didn't use the center, uncontrolled buildings.  If you dig deeper into the rules, those are central to the game.  I'd like the rules to be a bit expanded and to provide a few more examples.  As it stands the rules are ok if you take the time to really read them, but you can't just bust this game out and play in four minutes. 4.25/5
+* No round of this game ever plays the same twice.
+The game comes with a family, or basic, version of the rules and then a set of advanced rules. The basic rules are great for playing with younger kids, but the advanced rules are best for older kids and adults.

+So my experience was more good than bad.  First the good.  I love the variable factions, technology tree, component variety, modular map setup, and different paths to victory.  All of this makes for a varied, very replayable game with lots of interesting choices and branching decision trees.  The social interaction is a huge boon as well, I love negotiating, scheming, threatening, and pleading with my opponents across the table.  It's also quite thematic as each faction has certain specialties and you really feel yourself improving over time as you build more advanced buildings and gain new technology and abilities.

Just be aware and watch your little ones closely while using it.

+This newer addition has added Gadgets and a few other new cards to mix up the game. It's easily a family game, but not for kids under 6 I would guess as the rules can be pretty complicated.

However, we were gifted the game when we first moved out of state by my family.
+The game continues back and forth until one player finishes building their 4th building.  The other players get one last turn before the end of the game.

+5969	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	Intersting idea
+2040	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I was so nervous to try this out.  I didn't want to blow Christmas/Santa for my 6 year old.  I worried that he might not buy into it, and therefore might not buy into Santa anymore either (he might start questioning it all).  I think it's incredibly important how you introduce this, so make sure you put a lot of thought into it.  I decided to create a letter from Santa & snuck it into our mailbox (and had my 6 year old get the mail that day).  Santa told them (6 & 3 year old boy) that because there are so many children in the world for him to watch over, he's decided to send one of his elves to watch over our family.  I think it's incredibly important to immediately address WHY you're getting an elf right now (when you didn't before) and why YOUR house is getting one, when not everyone's house has one (I was worried about kids at school).  Santa's letter announced that the elf would be arriving that night, so to watch for him in the morning.  The next morning the elf showed up sitting up in the Christmas tree, with the book about him underneath the tree, and a handwritten letter (Mom's left-handed writing). It was a flawless entrance, and my 6 year old believes it all even MORE than my 3 year old!  He was instantly writing letters back to Santa, asking our elf to take it back to Santa that night, etc.  The rest of the month was SO fun, not only for the magic in my kids faces each morning, but for the fun my husband and I had each evening getting the elf set up in new fun ways.  Make sure you have a plan in place for if they touch him (there need to be consequences or they won't believe he's magical), and make sure to set a daily reminder on your cell phone (I did 10pm).  You don't want to blow it by not having moved him one day.  They almost cried the day he had to say goodbye!  On the last day he was holding baby Jesus from our nativity, leaving a note to remember that while Santa & presents are fun, remember that Jesus is the real meaning of Christmas (we're quite religious normally, so I had to tie it in somehow, without being the lame family that doesn't allow Santa stuff at all).  ;)  Definitely recommend!!!
+Christopher's head, scarf, mittens, and shoes are all cheap plastic that has been painted and he looks cheaper than I expected.  I was hoping that he would be very well made so that he could be passed down thru the generations.

I will keep an eye out for a better made cute elf that will be a beautiful addition to our holidays and that will replace this.

+My oldest loves this elf because he makes messes, sends and receives mail from other elves, leaves treats, and plays tricks. It's just silly fun!
+If you want to learn how to play this game, I suggest you watch the YouTube training videos available online to learn the basic rules, because trying to figure out how to play based on the rules is going to be a lot more work. Even when you learn the rules, the rules CHANGE depending on what cards you are using because the cards override the basic rules every time, and the text on the cards is never explanation enough. Be prepared to have your Smartphone set to Google and to use it often for individual card rule clarifications. And if you ever hit an impasse on individual rules, you should always have one player designated the gamemaster, and be ready to move ahead with a reasonable compromise to keep the game from bogging down. Add to that the fact that this game is asymmetrical (the two sides play completely differently), and I wouldn't blame people for being intimidated. Heck, I've played countless matches and sometimes I didn't understand MAJOR rules regarding links and traces and reoccurring credits, etc. In that way, this game is a bit like Sentinels of the Multiverse, because like that game, you can still play and enjoy it while not completely understanding how to play. Unlike that game, the instructions are very well written, and things are always moving quickly. It's also a lot more fun for two players who can appreciate this sort of thing.

But, like many games out there, the age grading is incorrect. The box says clearly the game is for pre-schoolers, but my 4 year old son can't possibly follow the track by himself.  My 1st grade daughter is really getting a lot out of it though.  Following the track to 100 is much easier for her and slightly educational as well. It's fun to play together, but Mom has to be there with the kids to help.  Since I purchased the game to have something fun to do as a family, I have no problem sitting there showing my son how to count and where to put his game piece.  If you want something for your pre-school age child to do independantly, then look elsewhere.

Although it says it is for 2 or more players, in my opinion game play is much better with more than 2 players. We got stuck at times with only two of us playing, although  it was still enjoyable. Certainly all of the Dr. Who associations add to the fun for fans of the series.

+Each player is dealt three destination cards in the beginning and must keep at least two. These form the basis for their lines. They also receive four train cards. To claim a line, players must create sets of the same color and number of train cards as the line connecting two cities. (The color of the lines has nothing to do with the player's train color, but the cards they have in hand.)
+this elf was the best alternative because my sons friends at school
+The overall compostion of the game is so cheap. It is like it was made on a copy machine. The cards are paper thin, and will not last over time. After setting up the game, many of the cards were already bent.

+In some respects, the game feels very similar to "Race for the Galaxy," but "Eminent Domain" is much simpler to learn and perhaps more fun to play.  Player's attempt to colonize words, or take them over via military conquest (small plastic spaceships act as military currency in the game), research technology (which gives players access to more kinds of cards), search for new worlds to bring into their empire, and produce or trade goods for victory points.  There is a lot going on here but not so much that you feel overwhelmed.  Also, with its 45 minute- 1 hour playing time the game will end before it starts feeling repetitive.  Like "Race for the Galaxy," it does very much feel like each player is engaged in a solitaire game of building up their own unique star empire and trying to get the most points before anyone else.  With the "roles," however, there is more player interaction.  What you choose to do on your turn will effect other players most of the time.  This helps to keep players engaged throughout.
+5904	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This a great filler game. We bring this out while waiting for the others to show up. Its fast and fun to play. While it is described as a 4 player game - you could potentially play with a couple more players, but it really drags the game down. 4 seems to be a the sweet spot.

+So there you have it.  I will acknowledge all games have pros and cons.  But you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least try this game out.  All the best and may the Force....ah you get the idea.  Happy gaming!  :)
+6964	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	What I like about this game is that it's got the same kind of strategy and logical thinking that chess takes, but adds an unpredictable dimension by allowing the players to set up their pieces differently at the start of each game with the rank of pieces hidden from the opponent.
+I need to get this pet peeve of mine out of the way before I begin. The player tile trays are made of fairly cheap cardboard that you have to punch out and bend to make the pieces assemble. In other words, I had a fun time trying to assemble the player tile trays. In most games I've purchased, tile trays came assembled and were of much better quality.
+223	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Wrath of Ashardalon is a fun game.  If you like dungeon style board games that use cooperative play mechanics, then you'll really enjoy this.
+The buttons barely work. You have to hit them firmly and check the display to make certain that your button hit was seen before moving on to the next number you want to enter. This is annoying for an adult but nearly impossible for a very young child to remember or accept. I also figured it was a matter of days before some of the buttons stopped working entirely.
+5358	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	It's deceptively simple at first glance. The second time you play it you start to realize how strategic it can be.

+4003	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Lol. They're dice that you can only use for the FF  Star Wars RPG.  What else is there to say?
+2. There is no place within the toy to store all the gears and pieces that come with it, so they end up easily separated and strewn around and lost easily.
+Highly recommended for almost any age and number to play a variety of things.
+The game is hard, but it's fun for them, and I play it too. I  really liked the books, and I'd think I'd have an advantage, but I don't seem to, as I never win. There's a lot about character names.  I'm bad with names.  The puzzles include putting the scenes in order. I really like those.

+9490	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	We've had the game for almost a year and we've only played it when it arrived.  Frankly, my 5 year old daughter and I didn't find it as much fun or as stimulating as expected based on the positive reviews.  Main complaint is that the pieces are INCREDIBLY flimsy (has a home made feel) and one has to manage that aspect instead of fully focusing on the important things.  My secondary complaint is that the game is barely more involved than the basic memory card games that cost much less and no where near as challenging as Zoombinis software, which we love.  So, this game is not much fun, not well made, not very stimulating, yet it carries a relatively high price - avoid it!
+
+5762	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	These cards are a great thickness to work with, and the curved edge makes it easy to take one off the stack.  The topics included are nicely comprehensive (colors, body parts, shapes, etc).  My kids will do one "section" of vocab at a time and I can quiz them.  I am going to look for another set of flash cards that have Spanish on one side and English on the other to add to our collection.  This set has the same Spanish word on both sides with one picture of the word on the back (just like the box pictures).  We can't use them for quizzing ourselves back and forth for learning vocabulary, but they are good words to learn with a nice, easy read font.
+From a fiscal spending standpoint, the game is much cheaper to get into as well with a predetermined set of cards released and no randomization in the setup of this core set as well as future expansions to come.  No having to buy rares here to beef up your deck here, its a level playing field.
+The set has typical great Fantasy Flight quality, excellent artwork, and high quality construction.

Otherwise a good and fun game!

+Enlarged player sheets - The original sheets had 20 buildings, these contain an extra two rows, so they have 28 buildings.  The bottom line is that instead of only having 5 possible buildings to choose to build, there are now 7 possibilities.  That's a big step in the right direction.

+7323	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Lots of fun.
+I have to say, while the dynamic is fun, Plundering (the ability to steal one item per turn, created by a rule) has to be one of the most frustrating parts of the game.
+2260	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Grandkids love him.
+  But please, I love Amazon, but their Days of Wonder games are all overpriced.  You can get this and their other games much cheaper on designated game sites.  Do a search, read other reviews, boardgamegeek is a wonderful place to look and compare games.  This was one of the first games I bought and I just keep finding more neat games to buy that you can't find here.
+This is really one of those gifts that surprised me in terms of how much the kids love it and also how well it was priced and put together. Also, the paint cleans up really easy from your face and any towels or shirts that get on it. White shirts are doomed but other items like towels or clothes, the paint will come right off or out in the wash.
+At first I was worried about whether such a thin (i.e. not well insulated) cable would pick up transient noise, but this cable performs much better than the standard cable.

I liked this game because it's true to the MP movies and makes you remember lines from the movies and quoting them and even some singing.

+Finally, if you have never played a table-top RPG before, and this is your planned entree, then I highly recommend that you find some experienced players to help step you through the process.  This is not Risk or Monopoly, and you will get out of the game what you invest in it in terms of time and attention.

Colors are vibrant, go on easily with good coverage, and don't irritate the skin at all (at least in our experience).  The paint did not smudge once it was dry and it was easy to work with.  It removed fairly easily with a make up removal cloth followed by a warm wet washcloth.  I like the ideas in the book, and especially the party cards.  I'm excited to use those for a little carnival I'm helping with.  They look cute, but not overly complicated.  The instructions look easy to follow.  All of the designs look great, however I have found that some better options can be found in various places online.  For example, for a tiger I have found much better designs elsewhere.  As a quick resource to do a nice job while under time constraints I think it is awesome though.  I recommend getting some make up sponge wedges to help apply larger amounts of make up at a time.

+This was our family's second Scene It game--the other being a Disney game--and while the gameplay was exactly the same, the menus, music, and voice-over were much more mellow, subdued, and ultimately more enjoyable and relaxing.  Although not introduced, I am pretty sure that the game's narrator is supposed to be the character of Carlisle, though clearly it's not the actor providing the voice.
+If you are new to the Dungeon Command game, this is a very fun strategy board game / Trading card game hybrid where you essentially battle your army versus your opponents creatures until one warband proves victorious.  You draw cards in to your hand during your turn to bolster your creatures basic attacks/abilities.  The game takes about 2-3 minutes to set up, once you know how to play and a match can run anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on how serious you get (kind of like chess.)  One of the best things about Dungeon Command is that you can easily put it away/set it back up if you need to take a break in the middle of a game.  My boyfriend and I usually play an entire match in two sittings during the weekdays.  If you are in to the D&D world and/or role-playing, you can definitely add as much RP and dialogue as you'd like.  If RPing isn't your thing, don't worry-- there's no dice rolling or paper and pencil requirement for Dungeon  Command, just lay out the board, draw your hand and you're ready to play!

+8643	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	The first time I played the game with my son, it was just OK. I guess we were learning and didn't quite get it. We picked up the cards again to play a couple weeks later, we liked it a bit better, ... now we're hooked. My three daughters have joined in as well. The oldest is 16, the youngest is 4(yes, she's caught on enough to be able to compete). Amazingly, we ALL enjoy playing this game. Not like Candyland, or other kids' games where adults feel tortured. This game is actually fun for the older kids and adults too! It's got a bit of luck involved, which allows all ages the opportunity to win. But it certainly isn't all luck. You need a good memory as well. The game is different than any card game I've ever played. If you're not sure, I'd suggest getting it... you will enjoy! Just make sure you play it a couple/few times before you decide if you like it or not.

+All in all a good "old school", no batteries required, enjoyable game. Recommended!
+The kids were actively working out aloud which corporations they planned to grow and were constantly comparing how many stock cards they had of certain colors. They were often on the edge of their seats when a merger occured...anxious to see how it would play out. The older ones took it a step further and bought out stock in the growing corporations, recognizing how much money they could make when it grows even bigger. The younger one just bought what he could afford and random chance worked in his favor. They all stated that they enjoyed playing the game.

I know we'll be checking for him every morning until Christmas and we'll all be very good, knowing he's reporting to Santa every night.

+5157	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I love board games. Qwirkle is sort of a mix between dominoes, scrabble, othello, and any number of match-up games (think uno). What's great about it is that even with deceptively simple looks (match colors or shapes, 6 of each), the game gets really complex, really fast. Playing with a group is a lot of fun, because even when you have good moves, you're not trying to give away the elusive Qwirkle (a line of 6), worth 12 points. It's a great family game because of the relatively simple rules, and scoring isn't too complicated, but you definitely need to bring some addition skills! Overall, a great game to bring out at family gatherings and with friends.

I have a Lincoln Log set when I was a child & incorporated along with other toys while playing which he seems to do on his own. it has a lot of the small log pieces, so I would recommend keeping everything together in the box when playing is finished so that the next time the child wants to play with it, it will all be there!

+Even the argument that it is more portable than an actual game of Scrabble doesn't really hold water nowadays.  Not only does actually playing this game take up much more room than a Scrabble board would, even if you consider just carrying around the pouch of tiles, we live in the age of smartphones, just download Scrabble on your device and play on the go.

+9571	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	1.0	You cannot see the answer through the plastic. Bad design!
+I recommend this game heartily with reservations if you have the time to scan the cards and remove a few of the less tasteful cards before guests arrive in situations where you think it appropriate to do so.  The beads are pretty, the game play is fast and we all laughed a lot, however, it is just a fun game with no real competition, more just time for laughing and being silly.
+Top-notch interactive entertainment for adults and teens.
+Add the "Meteor Rocket" to that list.
+Fantasy Flight Games has a new product line called Living Card Games, or LCGs. The function of an LCG is simple: to provide a solid game with only the contents of the core set  cards while at the same time giving the player the option of buying more packs of cards to add to the set. These monthly expansions add versatility to your game and the best part is that you know what you're getting before you purchase because the same cards are in every pack. Android Netrunner happens to be the most popular and best LCG to date.
+That said, I don't think this is a good game for a casual player. He's offered to teach me, but there are a lot of rules that make it more beneficial to play regularly so you don't forget what you're doing. I prefer a game that's more casual with a small list of rules so I can pick it up to play a couple times a year without feeling like I need to relearn the game every time. I just don't like sitting down to the same game every week and I don't have a group I can play with weekly. We're parents and I'm a stay at home mom so I've got limited time and we don't play board games when the kids (toddlers) are up because we don't want pieces getting lost/rearranged/etc. When he first started playing it, I recall him mentioning how hard it was to learn and he was interested, but seemed to find the number of rules pretty daunting. Maybe once the kids are old enough to participate (or at least keep their hands off), I'll try to join in. If so, I'll update with my impressions of game play.

I enjoy playing as well.  I always like a game I can play with my young children that I really enjoy too.  She has to pay attention and remember what cards she has so she really focuses on the game when we are playing.  I think that is my favorite part.  She is learing to really focus plus she's working with simple adding of numbers.  This was a great choice to purchase.  I may pick up a few extra packs as gifts.  Not a bad gift at all for $10.

+Each player starts with 3 cards during the first round and the number of cards dealt increases by one in subsequent rounds.  The game seems to become more challenging in later rounds when you have more cards in your hands and are trying to create words and "go out".  Enjoyable with two or more players!
+I don't love it though, a big part of it being, as I said, the  dice combat system used for the gladiator fights.  The other reasons I didn't exactly enjoy my first game can easily be avoided though.  For one, despite what the game suggests, I don't recommend playing the "quick game" that has players start at 7 honor.  At that level most of the intrigue cards can already be played and all of them can be played with the support of just one house.  This makes it a lot less interesting when you can play every card out of the gate.  I recommend setting aside enough time to play the normal or even the "long game".
+In the case of Battlestar Galctica board game, thing are working, but beware: the combinations available to play the game, when you have the three sets at your table, are becoming out of hand. Initial loyalty set-up card is definitely a situation, you must read the rules carefully. The situation is so bad, that the rule book added a "Frequented overlooked rules" section.
+4.5 of 5 UPDATE (5 of 5) All game components are well made besides one exception. The ship's, nodes and weapon/shield markers are a good quality plastic resin with no noticeable imperfections. The cardboard cutout parts and system discs are well designed and cut with the exception on a few warp tokens. For whatever reason, some of the warp tokens labels are lifting up (it was not done in the removal process). All cards are printed neatly and are well designed. Ordering on the day of release (October 30th, 2016) the Promo Exploration cards were included!!! The rulebook is a good size and organized well.

+My only complaint is that the calculator and the register don't seem to have any logic in common - it's just a calculator.  It would be nice if the screen would interact with the register, such as saying 'approved' when the credit card is used, or 'thank you' when you open the drawer, or if it had a bit of register logic, like making change - although you can mock that last one up with the calculator pretty easily.

Some are reprints of previous dungeon tiles but no matter, this is meant to be a core-set. If you are new to D&D 4 then you should pick this up, it has enough tiles for a modest sized dungeon crawl game. I'll probably pick up a second box set to expand my tile sets. What is excellent about this set is that the box itself is a large sized dungeon room (both lid and box). While I still use a battlemat this is great for adding more atmosphere for specific dungeon encounters. Wizards D&D are really putting out good quality products with this Essentials line. While touted for D&D this set could easily be used for other fantasy RPG games like Warhammer or Pathfinder too.

+(1) Simple enough for my 3.5 year old to comprehend after just a brief explanation and our first game.  The objective of the game is to be the first to reach square #100, using a spinner numbered 1 through 6, which advances you on the board.  He is learning his numbers, so seeing each square numbered from 1-100 allows us to count together and learn our numbers while each one of us advances on the board.
+The board game is an amazing translation of the original computer game. The added nuance of dividing the resource management challenge across the different roles was a great idea and it forces players to communicate more openly all with the added pressure of the companion app counting down per action step. And it's hard to think about the team budget as the Commander when you see everyone allocating resources as they see fit since pretty much every piece on the board costs money. A scientist can quickly drain your funds early in the round just be maxing out all research projects, thus leaving you with insufficient funds for troops to send on the mission or satellites to place in orbit.

Great theme, great amount of replay, lots of add ons, and chucking dynamite in a room full of void spiders cracks me up everytime!

+With these I reckon I've hit some sort of sweet spot. The pip printing looks like it was done on a low-budget press (but wasn't), the court cards have a one-way up, crowded artwork feel. None of the cards has an index in the corner, and those corners are square rather than rounded. The backs are also very olde-worlde in look. 10/10.
+8989	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We have the original Gears! Set and love it. This is an add on that you can use to make bigger, better, more exciting things.
+3259	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My daughter loved it.
+2200	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This has become my favorite game to play with the family.  Highly recommend this -- it's cute, funny, easy, and guaranteed to get some giggles!
+The game is incredibly well-designed, the board is beautiful, and you can play with up to ten players, though the game is really fun with only two (which really surprised me). There is a large amount of risk/reward going on which separates this from a mere dice-rolling game, and if it's too easy you can apply a ton of extra rules to make the game more complex (pit-stops, weather, driver powers, individual damage meters for car parts).
+5435	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Yes, this is a product that will only appeal to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series.  Should this be a deterrent to buying this game?  No, of course not!  There are a lot of different Scene it? games out there geared towards different subject matters so there are plenty of options that will appeal to most.  This version will be loved by all of those who love the movies and the books alike.  There were plenty of options and so much to do that it could be played many times without worry of repetition. This would be fabulous for a slumber party, no doubt about it!  If you're looking for a gift for your loved one who also happens to be a fan of the series, this will make a great one!
+Players acquire resources during the productive seasons (spring, summer and fall). There are 8 phases in the game of which 3 are productive seasons. Players roll three dice (6-sided dice). Players play one or more dice onto the game board. The game board has 18 spaces numbered from 1 to 18--representing all the advisors from the Jester (1) to the King (18). To influence an advisor (and receive the bonus thereto), a player must place dice with the correct total onto that advisor's space. Thus, to influence the Jester, a player must place a die with a "1" onto that space. If you didn't roll a "1", you cannot influence the Jester. Players can place multiple dice onto an advisor in order to influence the more powerful advisors; again the total of the dice must equal the advisor's value.
+Your kid doesn't care about aesthetics, or nostalgia, or strategy... your child just wants to spend time with YOU, laughing, having fun.  So get into it.  Get really excited when you get the chocolate card, and get really silly when you get the cupcake and have to slide all the way back to the beginning.  Be kind and firm about taking turns and following the rules, and enjoy every second of it.  Give personas to the gingerbread men and make funny voices for each of them.  Have fun and so will your child, and you'll actually be excited when he brings it out AGAIN...  These are the days you'll wish you could get back, and if your kid isn't enjoying playing this game, maybe he needs a nap or a snack, or maybe he isn't enjoying it because you're not enjoying it.  It is astounding what a kid is capable when a kid is happy.
+ Game Play
+*I was given this product in exchange for an honest review*
+Now I haven't actually tried to get my kids to play this with their friends, in part because we've lost the game board, but overall, this is an excellent game for bringing families closer and sharing family stories and history.
+
+3) For advanced players, there is plenty of strategizing and foiling of others plans to go around.  Even though it's easy to learn and entertaining for young beginners, this is still fun for highly educated, highly competitive adults.
+9242	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	exactly what I was looking for.
+6530	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	Flimsy game, with an unprotected cardboard top that easily tears and wrinkles.  The old game was much more durable, though my kids liked some of the new twists in this version.
+They stamp well on a variety of surfaces (I used them on material, canvas, and paper) and they clean up nicely too.
+6619	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I played Trouble when I was little and I bought some for my classroom.  Love the game and the competition and strategy.
+8033	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My son loves it.  Every time it's in the playroom, he plays with it.  It has a card (any thing that size works) and it makes a beep when swiped.  It comes with money, too.  The buttons work as a calculator, and it dings when the drawer opens.  The battery lasted about a year, and it's easy to replace.  Like it better than other registers I looked at.
+3963	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This was a gift and was on my son's wish list so he was very happy to receive it.
+2677	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	I'm so glad I picked these up. I like that they are easy to find and use (how many times do you get stamps that are all bunched together in box and you have to dump them all out in order to find the one you want? You don't have to do that with these because they're all layered nicely in this tin.)
+9894	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Great
+6664	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	fun game for kids that like puzzles/legos/that kind of thing.
+
+Completing 5 and 6 train routes usually ends up being the best strategy in this version.  I would rather route completion being most important.  Another thing that can be fixed with expansions or other versions though.
+4730	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	This is an awesome and inexpensive way for kids to see how the human body is put together and how all the parts work. I highly recommend it!
+4589	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Bananagrams is like Speed Scrabble, just without the points counting. It was a hit over the holidays with family members of all different ages.
+845	Toys_and_Games_5	NEG	2.0	Pretty complicated for 8 year olds.  I'd raise the min age to 9 or 10.
+6531	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	4.0	All of the pieces do not fit in the container.
+857	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	My wife and I love this game. The fact that we can play it with just the two of us, or with company is a big plus. Have never been bored playing and once we start it usually consumes the rest of our night.
+6721	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Our whole family LOVES his game!! HOURS of brain building fun!
+7563	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	It's the standard candyland game.  Not sure there is much else to know about this.
+
+
+6988	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Realistic and cute looking register with tone and money. Kids will love it.
+
+No one wanted to go through the trouble of figuring it out. Our group regularly plays popular "new" boardgames... with lengthy rules but this was tooo much.
+4059	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Thanks
+7553	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	Very fun to play. My son and nephew love this board game. I have a blast playing against them as well, and I'm 28.
+2882	Toys_and_Games_5	POS	5.0	We have so much fun with Llama Llama...we read the books with the plush and change the clothes, pretend to brush teeth...etc. There are great messages in the books and easy to read/follow for the kiddos.
