Down the snakes, up the ladders.

Advantages: Fun to kill some time.
Disadvantages: See review

Snakes & Ladders is a simple game which children enjoy to play anywhere, anytime. HOW TO PLAY You begin at the "Start" square, and roll the dice and move your counter that many spaces. The first one to get to the "End" sqaure, is the winner. It's not all simple, because if you land on a snake, you have to go down to the square where the snake trail ends. But, if you're lucky, and land on the bottom of a ladder, you go up to the square where the ...
...VALUE FOR MONEY I brought my Snakes & Ladders game for £3.99. This is still about the average price and I think it's good value for money. OVERALL The game does get boring after a bit, but if you have no other games to play, it's fun! ...

Barking Mad but a Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat Game

Advantages: Fun for all ages
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...thoroughly recommend it nevertheless. Beware of the Dog seems to be quite widely available in stores and online. The rrp is £14.99. Toys R Us are currently offering it at that price which is cheaper than Amazon (£15.95) and Hamleys (£16.00). It seems to be a little cheaper in the States if you fancy a trip. There it's distributed by University Games who describe it as " a suspenseful skill and action game that will keep the children giggling and ...

Review of Beware of the Dog

Review of Bounce Bounce Tigger Game

Connect 4 with letters

Advantages: Good for wordsmiths
Disadvantages: Rather hazy rules - complicated to score

...up my mind which catagory Line Word falls into, suffice to say that anyone that I have enticed to play it with me has not asked to play it again. The game is for 2 players aged 5years+ (my lovely son got a white pen to change this to 50+) ***** What you get ***** The pack contains: 36 plastic letter tiles in red and 36 plastic letter tiles in black A plastic playing board with a lift up frame and two storage compartments. There are no score ...
...formed in more than one line or column. To start the game one decides who goes first by flipping a coin (they don't provide this either.) Each player takes turns to drop one of their letters into the game frame. The first player drops a letter anywhere in the frame, The second player can drop their letter anywhere in the frame or next to the first players letter. What isn't made clear in the rules is how the letter is selected Is it at random unseen ...

Review of Line Word

Junior Cluedo

Advantages: Good entertainment for all the family that uses the brain cells
Disadvantages: No pencils in the box - hardly a disadvantage

...excellent introduction to 'grown ups' cluedo for children or adults as it gets the brain cells working. All the traditional characters are included but instead of discovering the murder weapon, scene of the crime and killer you have to discover who the culprit was, what the time was and what they were eating. The instructions are really easy to follow and my daughter now 7 loves setting it all up and takes great pride in making sure no one cheats. ...
...drink under its removeable base as does a piece of furniture for each room. There are two blank bases and one with crumbs on it (this is the culprit) The rules are very basic and easy to follow but not so that the game becomes boring. It's good for getting children to work out a strategy as you move around the board via footsteps. You have one dice which will either give you a number of moves to make or a colour which indicates that you can lift ...
