Hasbro Games Reviews

This is a great toy, both my 6 years old and my 11 years old daugther love it. It is good for travelling and it is very educational. You can play with it both in english and spanish ( it doesn't have the "ñ" though ). I highly recomend it. I can't rate its durability because we only have two weeks with it.

Just wanted to add that Amazon says this is for 36 months, the box says 4 yrs old. I am disappointed that the age is not correct. I feel a bit silly giving this as a present for a 3 yr old b-day, when the box states it is for ages 4+. Last time I checked 36 months was 3 yrs.Get more detail about Noodleboro Fun Park Sharing Game.

I remembered playing this game when I was a kid (over 20 years ago). My kids are 6 and 8 and we received a copy of Mouse Trap this year for Christmas. When we opened it, one piece was BROKEN. Not "broken in shipping" - just plain broken - the rest of the pieces were whole and the box was not crushed. The game is not playable if any pieces are broken!

A friend had another copy & lent us their piece to stand in for the broken one. Even then, the other pieces did not fit. The boot is supposed to swing and kick the bucket, but as assembled, it does not come close enough to hit the bucket! We have to slightly bend the lamppost to make the boot come close enough to hit the bucket. Sometimes the marble just falls off the shoddy pieces. For instance, the stairs piece, when locked into position on the board, causes the marble to fall off onto the board instead of into the rain gutter. When completely assembled, and then adjusting all the pieces to make them match up (resulting in a LOT of adjusting and time-wasting), we got the whole thing working only 25% to 50% of the time.

We didn't bother with the board game part of it, everyone knows the fun is is in making the contraption work. But the pieces are now so poorly made and they fit together so badly that it is such a waste of money and time.

Plus I was so frustrated trying to get this thing to work that I said it was "crappy" and now my daughter knows a bad word. Yes, we immediately discussed appropriate language when frustrated. But Milton Bradley is now selling games of crappy quality, no two ways about it!Get more detail about Mousetrap.

Electronic banking nice, but gets old. Wish the game pieces were the same as old versions of Monopoly - where is the hat. shoe, etc.?Get more detail about Monopoly Electronic Banking Edition.

Bought one and am totally disappointed that the board is not the usual high quality half fold version. Instead, it is a shabby quarter fold version with a permanent slit/cut that goes to the center so it can be folded quarter fold. This really takes away from the quality and durability of the usual half fold board. The cut all the way to the center also makes it look quite ugly. The picture and discription doesn't show this and is deceptive and disingenuous as such. I wish that one of the reviewers had actually reviewed the product at hand instead of long winded praise in general about the game of monopoly, which everyone knows well about anyways.Get more detail about Monopoly Family Championship.

Even though this only a 2-star review, I still think this game is worth considering. It's an interesting, if not well thought-out, update of the classic Monopoly game.

Glaring problem #1: As the front of the box exclaims, there are 80 3-D buildings included with the game. Those buildings are easily toppled and moved. On one occasion, we had to abandon a game because the board got knocked a couple inches and we couldn't reconstruct where everything was supposed to be. The pieces should snap into the board somehow.

Glaring problem #2: The buildings are in the center of the board in numbered, colored areas. The actual property space on the gameboard has name, color and number. But, the property cards have only the color and name. Evaluating your properties is a multistep process, look at your card, find that space on the board to get the district number, find that district number and color in the center. And the farther you get into the game, the longer this process takes. Do yourself a favor if you get this game - take a Sharpie and write the district numbers on all the cards.

Glaring problem #3: You can build (black) hazards and (red) bonus buildings in your and other players' districts. You can also build a (red) stadium under certain conditions. But, despite being red, the stadium does NOT function as a bonus building. Did they really think that was never going to be confusing? Railroads are also red but they are not supposed to play in the same place on the board as the other pieces. Too expensive to include one more color I guess.

Glaring problem #4: There are red, black, blue and grey pieces plus skyscrapers, property cards and 7 different denominations of currency. However, the plastic insert tray does not give adequate bins and slots to organize everything. If you get appointed the banker, count on it being a real hassle.

We played the game 4 times to discover these problems. Many of the other reviews mention these same problems. It makes me wonder whether Hasbro did any consumer testing and if so why they ignored it.Get more detail about Monopoly City Edition.

This is a very exciting game. My kids discovered this game in their Sunday school church. They have been playing with it every week and it is a lot of fun. I can compare the excitement you get when playing Jenga when it is about to fall, you know it is coming except you don't know if it is gonna happen on your turn. This is a classic toy/game, it has been around for many years and it doesn't get old.

The game is set up with blocks of ice in a square frame. You place an ice skater on top of one of the blocks and the players start hammering down one block at a time. The object of the game is not be the player who hammers the last block that will make the ice skater fall down. It is a very simple to set up and likewise very simple game to understand that even a pre-schooler can start playing in no time.

The game is made by Milton Bradley. It is rated for 3 years old and up. It can be rated as 3 year old to 100 because there is really no limit in age to enjoy this toy. Another plus is that this is not a very expensive game. Get more detail about Don't Break the Ice.

I work for an after school program in an elementary school and all of the kids love this game. They get frustrated if they lose too much but that goes without saying. But they learn a lot of strategies while playing, how to set it up so they win from both sides and gradually they learn to actually think of a strategy ahead of time. The Kindergarteners and 1st graders aren't that great but the second through fourth graders get to be pretty good. Our program has over 40 kids and we had to get a second one because it's a favorite among them. It also comes with rules on how to play different versions which I'm not use to so don't do but it can be fun and a new craze is playing butterfly which is when they are allowed to put two pieces in a once. Overall an amazing thinking game and lots of fun, I would def. recommend it. Get more detail about Connect 4.

We've played this game at various friends' parties. This went on sale for $9 here on Amazon so we had to get a copy of our own.

They have different, newer versions of this game but I have no tried those. We've been playing this version over the last few years and have not grown tired of it (which I think is pretty amazing in our world of quick, fleeting satisfaction).Get more detail about Cranium.

Even grown ups enjoy playing this game. We don't usually use the electronic answer buttons though. We like all the different sheets of characters. It keeps it fun. Get more detail about Guess Who Extra.

my son likes chutes and ladders but half the players are girls. this has 8 players and only one is a girl. my kids love it. Get more detail about Chutes and Ladders Super Hero Squad.

As a kid my parents bought this for me and I was fascinated by the pewter pieces, the property cards, and all the other pieces. It held promises of infinite fun. When I finally played it it at 10 it was ok but we didn't finish. Fast forward 16 years and after 20 minutes the game board me to tears (pun intended). The problem is after a while the game relies on luck for you to land on the unbought properties. There is another version of Monotony that has a special die which speeds up the game greatly by allowing you to advance to the next unowned property. That made the game more bearable but still it's not something I'd ever play again.

If you have never played this game I STRONGLY recommend you play it at least once with someone before buying your own copy. Otherwise, don't waste your money. There are a lot of other games that are MUCH more fun and enjoyable, including many "Euro" style that have more depth and background. My copy of Monotony is going to Goodwill next time I go there.

My recommendations

Party: Buzzword, Catchphrase, Cheroodles, Pictionary,
Cinemaplexity, Taboo, The Great Dalmuti, Too Many Cooks

Trivia: Wits and Wagers, NewsHound, In Pursuit

Euro Style (requires a bit more thought but have much more depth): Carcassonne, Shadows Over Camelot, Ticket to Ride, Agricola

This game does not work. The butterflies do not come out of the trunk 100% of the time. I read the bad reviews stating this fact and thought really? Why would they sell a game like that. My daughter wanted this so badly that her uncle bought it for her. Brand New, fresh batteries and the butterflies swirl around in the elephant and do not come up the trunk. Not one single time, and we tried everything. My poor daughter was so upset and my husband and I were nothing but frustrated. I'm so disappointed in Hasbro for this one.Get more detail about Elefun.

FUN game!!! We have spent hours playing this game and it's new every time! From my 4-year old to Gramma, everyone loves it. Fast-paced, quick to play, everything stores neatly inside the iceberg, penguin is cute, interesting things on the cards..... only thing that would maybe make it better would be more "command cards" of things to look for, but it really does have plenty! FUN, FUN, FUN!!!Get more detail about Pictureka Flipper.

little bit of an update on the old connect 4 but my daughter seems to like just putting in the colors herself without even playing the game! It keeps her occupied so that's fine with me... Get more detail about Connect 4 x 4.

Product came in in plenty of time for gift giving. An entire evening of fun for all (including the adults). Looking forward to many more fun-filled nights. Thanks.Operation Spongebob EditionGet more detail about Operation Spongebob Edition.

There are three items* SOMEONE should warn parents about before they buy them. This is one of them. I only wish someone had told ME years ago...

Yes, this game is cute and easy to play. Yes, it's famous. And yes, it's probably educational.

But be warned - it is THE most boring game in the universe. After ten minutes you will find yourself in a stupor. You'll look at the board and begin trying to calculate how much time it will take for the game to END. Soon you'll feel the urge to throw your chair through the window...not the loving-family-ambience you were expecting.

AND EVERY TIME YOU THINK THE GAME IS JUST ABOUT OVER, YOUR KID FALLS DOWN A CHUTE AND HAS TO START OVER ALMOST AT THE BEGINNING. You will find yourself lying to your children, telling them a "2" means "Move 4", and secretly scribbling over the chutes at midnight with a fat-tipped indelible black marker while spouting gibberish and drooling.

Let your kids play this at pre-school. Give it to the grandparents. JUST DO NOT ALLOW THIS GAME IN YOUR HOUSE IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY.

*the other two are Candy Land and the book "The Little Engine That Could"Get more detail about Chutes and Ladders.

YahtzeeHaving played this game many years ago, I was quite pleased to relive the fun with this new set. It is complete with all necessary items and we have truly enjoyed playing again. I recommend it for any 2 couples that have an evening to laugh and enjoy card games. No gambling involved.Get more detail about Yahtzee.

this is the best first game for the little ones and for the kids at heartGet more detail about Candyland.

I remember this game from my own childhood and was pleased to have it sent as a present for my own daughter for Christmas UNTIL we opened it and tried to put it together - VERY FIDDLY, took over an hour with poorly made cardboard and plastic pieces. By the time it was constructed I never wanted to look at the darn thing again. Give it 1 star because of this terrible construction. You'd think they could do betterGet more detail about Guess Who? Board Game.

My 6 year old has been playing this game at friend's houses, and he loves it.
Just bought this at Target today for $9.00, and with taxes still under $10
I've seen this before where Amazon doesn't compete for price for board games, so would suggest a quick shop of Target or Walmart if convenient before ordering from Amazon.
Otherwise you can't beat Amazon's convenience of on-line shopping.Get more detail about Trouble Board Game.

An update on a classic. We purchased this for my middle daughter for Christmas. We had the original bop it for my eldest daughter when she was young so we didn't hesitate when the younger sister asked for this for Christmas. The new version is just as fun as the original but with added moves. Simple enough for my four year old and still entertaining enough for myself to enjoy as well. I like that they have a multi player mode too so that all of the kids can play together. A great fun toy that doesnt cost an arm and a leg! Get more detail about Bop It.

This is one of those rare quality toy gems that can be passed down! It is fun, it is durable it seriously rocks for younger children...I bought it as a gift for my three year old son...he loves it! My older children enjoy playing it with him even though it is a toddler toy! I was pleasantly suprized that the shapes are made of a thick durable plastic...four heavy cardboard gingerbread men with indented shape spaces...it works well and the randomness of the shape output, gives it a bingo effect that keeps the more grown-up players engaged!

I would recommend this game to anyone with young children!Get more detail about Hasbro Candy Land Castle Game.
