11 year old daughter played for a couple of hours and then didn't play again for a couple of weeks. She has fun while she is playing it though.Get more detail about Hasbro Designer's World TV Plug-In Game.

I was very hopeful about this product. I love Bananagrams and the Scrable name gave me reason to think there would be another fun word game to add to our collection. I was disappointed with the quality of the product. The letters are a cheap plastic that flip over easily. If you want to do an upside down shuffle of letters it doesn't work because the plastic is thin enough that you can see what the letters are, and you can especially spot the extra value ones! I would recommend any of the games from the folks at Bananagrams before this one.Get more detail about Scrabble Apple.

This is a fun group game for children and adults. It is better if the game is played by people over 13. There is a JR version for the younger set, but this version involves cultural and vocabulary awareness best reserved for older children. Good way to spend an hour.Get more detail about Pictionary.

It's a nice set. The wood was scraped on the edges and the red material on the board was peeling when I received it.
I wasn't very impressed by the quality of the wood. I envisioned something of similar quality to my grandmother's scrabble board of the early 1980's but I guess things aren't made that well anymore.
I sent it back (Amazon was great as usual and I got my refund within 5 days of dropping it back at UPS).
I'll wait until the deluxe set goes on sale and see if I prefer the plastic over this lower quality wood.

Again, this is a decent set, but for the cost I thought that this would be a higher quality product. If you can get it on a good Amazon sale, it will be a good purchase.Get more detail about Scrabble Premier Wood Edition.

I received this last night. This is the most awesome game idea ever!!! It's small, compact and it works awesome!!! The whole installation, hookup and downloading of (I think it was 5800) questions-all without the slightest problem whatsoever. I read all of these ratings prior to purchase and was sceptical, but for the $10 price I decided to risk it. I'm so happy I've already ordered 2 more for gifts! This is "hands down" my best purchase in years! I downloaded the ENTIRE KID'S EDITION of TP, the 90's Edition and ALL KINDS OF MISC. questions in a matter of minutes! NO CHARGE! Everything was so smooth (and fairly simple) I'm having a hard time believing these bad reviews are the game's fault at all. Here's the key here people: READ THE DIRECTIONS. The instructions that come with the game tell you where/what the buttons do and how to put the batteries in. It also tells you (on the box and about 5 other locations) TO GO TO THEIR WEBSITE to download the desktop application and further directions. When you get there click on the "Getting Started" link on the left side. You can probably print it out but I just minimized it to my tray while I clicked on the "Download", etc. and kept refering back to it when I needed to know what to do next. I had the application put a shortcut on my desktop, so when I minimized the web page I double clicked the icon and it started. (Vista kept telling me I "needed to format the disk", I just "X"d it out. XP probably does the same.) I connected the USB and turned "ON" the switch in the back. Bam, done. At first the application does look a bit intimidating but just READ THE DIRECTIONS! It's well worth the few minutes to learn how to use the program and then you see how easy it is! It's NOT one of those type's where you have to keep going back to the directions over & over. I hate that. Once is all you need! Also, while your downloading questions, etc. if it says "there's a problem" or "it's not connected" the game probably "timed out" (like it says it will in the instructions to save battery power) Just turn it "off" and back "on" again. Problem solved. I hope this has helped a few people. Especially those who are having problems with it. A+++++! Get more detail about Trivial Pursuit Digital Choice.

It's a good toy for the childrens, I hope everyone else can enjoy it the same way that we did.Get more detail about Hasbro Playskool Swing 'N Score Baseball.

Ok, I must start by saying that I love that the checkers are pink and yellow, like the characters and that the holder itself is yellow and brown. This is a very unique set. I purchased this for my son because he loves Spongebob and he does love the game too. I gave this game 4 stars because I've had a little trouble keeping the brown base on one side snapped together and because of the pain it was to place the character face stickers on both sides of the checkers on Christmas morning while my child waited, not very patiently...Other than that, the game is excellent and I would still purchase it knowing this. I hope this helps=)Get more detail about Connect 4 Spongebob Edition.

i love the regular version of this which i have as well, we are avid game players and this game is just not fun to us or our friends. that is just our opinion, others may like it, we just dont. i know i should say why more specificly but it is hard to explain. it just does not play like the regular game. you would think it is like the other one but it seems like the way to play it is guess this sone and you have to try and sing the sone they tell you on the screen but you cant use the title words...of which you just read... and now that is the only part of th song that is stuck in your head... like i said just my opinion. so we dont care for this one. i would not buy again.Get more detail about Electronic Catch Phrase Music Edition.

The Good:
- It is an interesting concept in that you get to build potentially different designs
- Magnets are involved (it acts as the 'adhesive' that drops all the pieces when under too much weight posturing on any given side), those are always entertaining to the children
- The pieces are colorful
- The base is fairly well-made despite being a simple plastic construction

The Bad:
- The pieces that attach to each other to develop the designs do not connect poorly, in that the connectors are too wide. More often than not you will find that the pieces will fall apart just after a few turns.
- Due to the poor connectors on the pieces, if there is any length whatsoever (i.e. 3 linkages or more), the line will be highly susceptible to swaying, and oftentimes it will sway onto a piece of the base structure and rest upon, which is against the game's rules.
- Generally speaking, it fails to hold the attention of the young, and frustrates the old as the pieces keep falling off due to the poor plastic connector build rather than the 'fun way' of having the magnet dropping.

The Ugly:
- This game is a shining example of poor execution of a concept that may have otherwise resulted in a great family game.
- This has been one of the poorest games made by Parker Brothers, hands down. It is not a functioning game by any standard, and as such should not even be released in its current form.
- I personally could not recommend this game to any other individual, not even as a giveaway.Get more detail about Jenga Max.

I purchased this for my niece for Christmas and when she opened it she was thrilled! We ended up playing a few hours later and laughed so hard we were crying. Her older brother (who is 11) also played. We had a blast watching everyone put on the jewelry pieces and "fight" over who was going to keep the tiara. I agree with other reviewers...have a camera handy the first time you play because it is hysterical. Great game for little girls who love the Disney princesses.Get more detail about Pretty Pretty Princess Sleeping Beauty.

I am a toddler teacher in a daycare center and bought this game to use with our older 2's who are in need of a cognitive challenge. I only use a couple of sets of the cards at any time and don't expect that a 2 yr. old will be able to play the game the same as a 4,5, or 6 year old could. It is a great game that helps to sharpen memory skills as well as language skills and I think it is a better investment than any computer game ever will be. The only thing is that the cards will eventually get beat up from use but isn't that how you know a game is well loved?Get more detail about Original Memory.

If you like your friends and/or family, then DO NOT play this with them. If you have a family where people cannot laugh off every single skeleton in the closet, STAY AWAY from this game. I saw the TV version...it was very Jerry-Springesque in the way it provokes arguments.Get more detail about The Moment Of Truth Game.

Somehow I got the impression from the commercials that this game was fun for adults like normal Scrabble. It is not. It is for kids, do not buy it if you are an adult and want an intellectually stimulating game. It is probably great if you have kids though.Get more detail about Scrabble Slam Deluxe Card Game.

Having a range of game players, and parent's endurance level, the short play option is great!!!

We can play long for some, and short for others. Perfect match for different age ranges and patience levels.Get more detail about Risk.

We played this for the second year at our family Christmas. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. Each new person wants to buy it for their home. Great way to make a new person feel comfortable. A+++++Get more detail about Taboo.

My brother got this game for Christmas, and he was immediately disappointed with it. Clue Secrets and Spies is unlike any other Clue game, and as far as I could tell the only similarities it had with the original are the agents' names. We returned this right away when we couldn't even play the game without looking at the instructions. It is way too complicated and lacks a solid objective other than to score the most points through very confusing means. The text messaging feature was worthless to us because it didn't activiate itself until the following day, and when it did every message was duplicated. The instructions didn't even tell how to activate the messaging feature, and they were poorly written (we found a major typo). All in all, this game is very disorganized, and most likely thrown together by a company that hoped to sell it with text messaging feature. Don't buy it.

I got the original Twister for my 12th birthday (or thereabouts). I am 23 years old and up to last weekend I've played it. Twister is another timeless game that can be enjoyed by persons of about 5 years old and up. I'll give you one important piece of advice: the younger you are, the easier it is to bend!Get more detail about Twister.

If only there were more than 5 cases! I loved this DVD game; however, there are a couple downfalls, appropriately listed in my title. Since there are only five cases, I had them all solved in one night. So before you drop alot of cash on this game, consider two points: 1.) how much would you spend for one night's enjoyment in a game, and 2.) once you have solved each case, the chances you will play it again are nil, unless you have a real bad memory. Then, it may be worth it to spend a little more :)Get more detail about CSI Dvd Game.

This is a fantastic game for group gatherings and parties. There is no real explaining of the rules necessary for most people, just pass it around the room. People can enter and exit the game without disrupting the play. We love it!Get more detail about Electronic Catch Phrase.

This older version of the Operation game is still lots of fun and not as goofy as the newer versions...honestly, Sponge Bob Squarepants Operation game???? Is nothing sacred! Get more detail about Hasbro Operation.

If you have ever been to the magic Kingdom, this is a great board game to play. Object is to get to your attractions that you have picked from the cards and make your way back out of the park first. Along the way other players can bump you to different areas of the park, that may be to your advantage or not. Great game for kids. My son said he felt like he was back in the Magic Kingdom all over again. This is also a great gift to give.Get more detail about Disney Magic Kingdom Game.

I was shocked to see this required not any batteries! :)

I have gotten the travel size being strapped on cash to spend on games. I got this to enjoy with my 6 year-old, but I can have SOOOOO much fun on my own as well! I just now at 33 years young of age playing this. My child has fun with this, and gets a kick out of the pieces popping out.

You only have THIRTY seconds to complete the puzzle. Be careful, as their are two half circles and S-shapes to appropriately fit. The education comes in where and how to match the shapes, and a couple of them, sizes as well. Also teach how to make most of the time and getting as much done as possible when working on a time-limit. You know, like, when you need for your child to hurry but they don't, and when you need for them to take their time, they don't? It teaches how to work with time and being on the clock.

Other reviewers are correct in saying young children need surpervision so they don't put in their mouths the small pieces and choke as it does cause choking hazzards.

I'm not sure if I would recommend this for being on the road in a moving vehicle, just because the pieces pop out; however, it is awesome for taking it away from home since it requires little space in the suitcase, or perfect for Dr. Office visits....Get more detail about Perfection.

I purchased this game so my kids would not be watching TV all the time and get their brains going. My 5 year old even joins in too. The whole family loves to play on a Sunday. Kids get to guess and draw and have fun without tv or video games! Get more detail about Pictionary Jr.

We play this game all the time and love it! Our five-year old caught on right away even though the suggested age is 8+. So, don't hesitate to get this if your child/children are younger. Even our two-year old plays with us. By playing, he is learning lots of numbers (up to 60). We highly recommend this game!Get more detail about Rack-O Card Game.

This was a gift for my four year old grand-daughter for Christmas, after assembling the game and sticking on the decal eyes, the game was a huge success. There was no arguing about who won, or "I never win", such as occurs in card and board games with little ones. The result was much fun by children from four to 69. The game holds up well to a remarkable assortment of punishment from little hands banging the hippos to collect the "food" (plastic marbles). It has now been nearly a week since Christmas and the game is still being enjoyed by young and old alike. Much fun.Get more detail about Hungry Hungry Hippos.

This is one of those games that I bought on a whim to put under the Christmas tree a few years ago - I found it at a great price on Amazon. My children are now 9, 8 and 5, and this for whatever reason) has remained a consistent favorite. It has a few big pieces, so it is not easy to lose them. The game has worked beautifully since day one. The games are quick and easy, and my children and their friends always pull it out on play dates. I guess sometimes simple is just better. Definitely worth every penny!!Get more detail about Hasbro Whac-A-Mole Game.
