Yes No Game

Fab game, lots of fun for all the family. Ask the questions really quickly and in different tones makes it more fun. Played it several times now and it still has us in stitches!

Good family game

The manufacturer's description gives some info about the game so I won't bother with that. The game is well thought out with many different aspects and rules providing great variety throughout a game. I would have given five stars except for the fact that it is really quite a long game and with four of more people playing seems to take ages (and tries the patience of younger players). Quite often one person will be trailing very far behind the others so dragging it out further which is why we don't play it as often as many other games we have. A good game for bad weather days.

Very Very Disappointed

Having played a lot of scrabble recently, I decided an ideal Christmas present for my boyfriend would be a new scrabble board and a scrabble turn table. How exciting?! The scrabble board, does not fit the turn table. So useless. I’m going to follow it up to see if it was a random turn table that was for some reason too small. I’ll investigate and let you know!

Fun on Christmas!

I bought this for my 6 year old niece, and she’s enjoyed it. The game is good fun, but not too complicated for her to enjoy. It’s also a step up from simpler children’s games like Snakes and Ladders.

There are lots of pieces with it though (including some playdough-type substance) and I fear it won’t be long till a lot of it goes missing.

Great Fun wiv a leetle twist!!!

This game is hilarious it will keep you guessing till the end and laughing for days afterwards. The awful french Allo Allo accents of my friends during the game just made it even funnier. If your game for a laugh you have to try this. The character names and descriptions are enough to make you laugh as it is!! Without seeing everyone dressed up in 1940's costumes!

fabulous game

Bought this game for my nine year old for xmas no idea what it was like but drawn in by the fact it can be played solo or up to 8 players.
Tried it out fabulous! It was such good fun dashing about trying to match the colours/numbers that it calls out. We played all the different modes and they all worked well. We particularly enjoyed the team dash where you have to pass the plunger piece like a relay. The game says for 6 and up however the level one and two were played easily with our teams which included a 4 and 5 yr old.Great activity looking foward to using it with our friends at the next gathering. Would easily transfer from small table to large garden. Superb!

Frustration and Embarrassment

This puzzle is durable and makes the owner use their mind and improve their dexterity. Whether it is educational is doubtful, although as I already said it encourages the user to think. Plus side: You can use it just about anywhere. It does not use batteries or mains electricity (a big plus for me, the bill payer), there are no small parts to lose and a sense of achievement is attained if you master the puzzle. Down side: Can become boring after a while and as I am finding out can lead to frustration.

After spending a great deal of time and energy a number of years ago, I finally mastered the mystery of the Rubik Cube and could solve the puzzle in a time that I, at least thought was impressive.

How frustrating. I bought a Rubik Cube with the intention of impressing my young grandson. How are the mighty fallen. Imagine my embarrassment when I found that I no longer had the knack for getting all those movable coloured cubes in the right order. Is this the beginning of the end, or is it the end of the beginning, or . . . nurse!! nurse!!

The Oldies are the Best

I remember playing this when I were a lad, way back in t'eighties, and like all great games it hasn't changed at all.

It takes no time to put together, is brightly coloured, makes lots of noise and has loads of balls rattling about, so for a family with a three year old it's a winner from the start. If only it came in a bigger box so I could store it properly...

We discovered this game whilst staying with friends in the USA over Thanksgiving. Since then we have introduced it to friends at home with amazing results. People who do not normally like to play games absolutely love it, they love the feel and the sound of the tiles and they love the fact that all the age groups can have fun together.

One of the greatest board games

This is ( in my opinion ) one of the greatest board games ever. It is so enjoyable and it is very educational because you really have to strain your brain if you want to do well. I reccomend this and Monopoly as the two greatest board games.

The game is played like this, somebody has been murdered and each player gets a group of cards and then 3 unknown cards are put in a package in the middle. The aim is to find out what those cards are, they must be a person, a weapon, and the room the murder was commited in. At the players turn he/she rolls the dice and then can go into one of the rooms, they can then say, for example 'I suspect colonel mustard, in the drawing room, with the candle stick', the room they say must be the room they are in. They must say that to somebody and if that somebody has the cards that the player just said, he/she can cross them of his/her list of suspects/rooms/weapons.

The game can only be won by wit and deduction, and I reccomend it to people who enjoy detective novels/shows because I imagine the same type of people would enjoy it.

Best Leapster Game So Far!

Excellent game - may appeal more to girls than boys. The only thing to have ever held my 4 year old daughters attention for more than 15 minutes! Teaches pet care as well as letters, numbers, short words, pen control,spellings and memory. Earn points and money, go shopping,dress your dog in fancy dress, give food and water, bathtime, teach tricks, compete in a dog show,take it on walks etc,. Not just educational but great fun too. Fantastic !!!

Poor show

This"official" scrabble notepad is a big disappointment.

I bought it as I thought it might be nice to record our scrabble scores in a pad rather than the numerous scraps of paper that have filled the box of our scrabble set over the years.

On opening this score pad for the first time the pages were coming away from the backing... and then fell off within seconds of gentle inspection. This is a poorly bound low quality note pad.

The pages themselves perform their function, so this may still be of interest to some. Consider buying this if you happen to see it while making a trip through its rightful habitat... the pound shop.

headbanz for kids

This is a wonderful game the children played this game all the time

Poor Quality

Very poor quality - wood doesn't fit together - not worth the money at all.

Complex but simple

Great fun. A relief from other excellent but rather literate games. this rewards forward planning , strategy and the ability to visualise what is happening for you and your opponents. We played this for the first time and found we were all understanding the process within 10min or so. The rules are as described above. The fun is that it is great certainly in our case for players from 9-86 .... it also lasts about 45minutes or so .. so not too long although if we hadn't been exhausted we would have had another round!!! Well recommended. I should say that the game is simple in some ways but is commendably complex once you get going. Well worth the dosh!!

Great game for all the family.

We bought this for our granddaughter and all the family like it .It's great fun.

Stuck for how to liven up your party? Here's your answer!

If you've never held a murdery mystery party before - here's your perfect opportunity to give it a go! The essential ingredients to make it go with a bang are: this game kit (obviously!), a yummy yet easy buffet (as the game is best played over the course of a dinner - but you don't want to spend your whole evening in the kitchen), a generous supply of drinks (to get everyone loosened up and relaxed into their character roles) and lots of enthusiastic guests in costume! NB: You'll need to give your guests a bit of notice when arranging this so that they can get themselves set up with fitting and hilarious outfits - and don't forget the camera!

The theme for this particular party is champagne, gangsters and lots of 60's stuff. Me & my guests had a fantastic evening with this one. As long as everyone is enthusiastic and willing to let their hair down you don't have to be great actors or actresses to have fun as there's no right or wrong way to 'play' the game. Ironically, the best thing is not to even try to take it seriously and work out 'whodunnit' - there are so many red-herrings it is impossible to work out - but I can guarantee you will definitely have tons of fun trying!!!

I would definitely recommend this as an excellent alternative way of celebrating New Years Eve, a birthday or anniversary - or for no other reason than you enjoy getting together with friends for hilarious & memorable evenings! My guests haven't stopped asking when the next party will be!!!

ENJOY! (I know you will)

If you don't have the first edition, get this.

Fans of the Potter films will be enthralled for hours on end. My kids don't seem to mind that the questions are a little on the easy side; there are certainly plenty of questions, clips and games to get through.

I have only two negative points to mention,. The first is that owners of the first edition will get poor value from this purchase; the first edition covered the first 4 films already, so you're only getting the fifth film in addition. To be fair, though, there is some new content other than the 5th film.

The other is that the focus is solely on the movies rather than the books. Most fans will have read (or had read to them) books 6 and 7 by now, and it is a shame that this material could not be used in the game too.
