USAopoly Disney Cranium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had to get this game just to find out what it was about. My expectations were not that high and the game played out as I thought it would. Many of the players were able to easily guess popular tunes, characters etc. Some of the cards make you go around the room/house to look for items that represent something on the card. This was interesting, except it is completely subjective and you are being evaluated by the opposing team(s). Speaking of, there are only two teams represented by a blue Mickey cap and a yellow Mickey cap. Two rules that marred the experience was that a) your roll counts as double if you are on a Mickey logo and b) the first person to reach the end "wins" rather than having to play out all four categories. Ignore these rules, or maybe have the Mickey logo be a penalty where you move backwards or something. Otherwise the game will be extremely short. Overall I did learn some cool facts about Disney and the game is pretty fun but definitely more of an expensive Cranium "novelty".
PROS:
Disney Oriented with a pretty gameboard
Mickey Hat as game pieces with a blue and yellow "hour" glass
Blue playdough to sculpt with!
CONS:
Short gameplay if you follow the rules like getting double rolls on Mickey spots
Small game board as far as spots to move on.
Weird integration of colored dice. (You would have to balance them on your nose and say stuff like Bibbity Bobbity Boo which wasn't challenging at all)
LAST THOUGHTS:
This game seems like a Cranium Jr. (like Monopoly Jr.) but is fun for the most part but will most likely leaving those interested in a "Disney Cranium" satisfied but hoping it would have delivered more.

Murder Mystery Party - A Taste for Wine and Murder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, I have to first admit that I *love* these kinds of party games. The whole idea of dressing up, hanging out with friends and trying to solve a mystery together while you eat delicious food is just about the most enjoyable way I can imagine to spend with 7 of my best friends. This game makes it so easy! You follow the instructions, hand out the notes to the players, and it's all set! A definite must-have for any fun-loving wine drinker! Perhaps the only drawback might be that some people just don't enjoy these sorts of play-acting games. So choose friends that really have fun with this.

Name 5 Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My family, with kids ages 4-11, plus my parents, and I all enjoy playing Name 5! The mix of objective and subjective questions are fun and my kids love to think of creative answers to questions like "Name 5 reasons a person might fall down" and "Name 5 purple foods"! You don't have to be a trivia genius or creative genius to play - the game works for all levels of education and ability! They like playing in teams and being able to shout out answers rather than taking turns one at a time. The varied play based on the different spaces keeps the excitement going. We have the most fun with the flip flop spaces seeing how many ideas we can come up with for the same challenge. Policing ourselves is part of the fun. The most intense time is always at the end, to see which team can successfully complete a full card in 90 seconds to win! This game has become a favorite for Family Game Night and I encourage you to all give it a try. The rules are easy to understand too, and my kids mastered them quickly. When they play without the adults, they just skip the challenges that are too hard. Even though it says ages 12 and up, it's great to play all together because everyone can contribute. A definite must have for game night, whether with adults or mixed ages. Endless Games has created a winner here!

BANG (La Pallottola) The Bullet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an incredibly entertaining game, reminiscent of the cardless "mafia" game many of us played in junior high and high school. It has become the game of choice among my friends and me in the last few months. Each player is dealt a role that he or she plays in the game (sheriff, deputy, outlaw, or renegade). All the roles are secret, except for the sheriff's. Game play proceeds as players eliminate each other in hopes of doing what is best for their role. The sheriff tries to stay alive and kill the outlaws and renegade(s). Outlaws try to kill the Sheriff, and so on. It gets pretty addictive and aggravating at the same time, but in a very good way.
Just read the rules and deal everyone the picture-instruction cards, and the game is relatively easy to understand. The game is the most fun when you have about 5 or 6 players. It doesn't make much sense with 4 (too easy to guess others' roles), and the pace slows a lot with 7 or 8 unless everyone is paying attention and knows the rules.
One small downside to the game is that it is an elimination game--when you die, you're out of the game/round until either the Sheriff/deputies or renegade(s) or the outlaws win. Usually this doesn't take very long, but it always sucks to be the first one out. When I play, I usually usually go through at least 3 or 4 rounds during one sitting. Also, for very conservative families, it might be noteworthy that "beer" and "whisky" cards heal your character.
Bang! The Bullet comes with several expansion packs that keep the game interesting and add new rules/restrictions that change up game play. Start with the core game first as you learn. Then you can add expansions later. It also comes with a nifty badge that Sheriff gets to wear.

Fundex Chairs in Collector Tin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The concept here is similar to Jenga, put one chair on top of another. But it is slightly different. Only the first chair can be on the bottom, the others must be raised above it. You can stack them on top, sideways or upside down. You can stick a leg through the back holes of a chair. The chairs have different shapes, so you may have to experiment with a few chairs to find the right one that will stay on and not topple the others.
A fun game for kids and adults, and I like the tin box it comes in. You get eight each of three different colored chairs. My box had red, blue and green chairs. This is the type of game college students play in dorms after they've had a few beers.

Jax Doodle Dice Review

(More customer reviews)My kids (ages 6 and 8) love this game, and it is fun for adults, too. We bought it several weeks ago, and the kids still ask to play it often. It helps with teaching creativity, visuospatial skills, and problem solving. I think it would be ideal for groups or a party game. Plus, it's not too time-consuming. A family of 4 can play a game in 20 to 30 minutes tops. Our family loves this game!

Deluxe Canasta Caliente Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We picked up Canasta Caliente before our recent trip to Mexico and have been hooked ever since. Canasta is a classic South American card game which took America by storm in the 1950's and this card set pays hommage to that time period with fantastic and colorful graphics. The goal is to create as many "melds" as possible (i.e. matching sets of three or more) leading up to the required amount of Canastas (seven cards each) before your opponents. If you lose the hand, you subtract the values of your unused cards from your score. This penalty doubles if you end up with the Caliente card. First person to reach 5000 points wins. Two to six playes.
The card point values are clearly marked, making it very easy to calculate your score. The cards themselves are nice and strong, with a glossy finish. We've been running them through a vintage metal Johnson card shuffler, and they have yet to bend or warp. The instructions are simple and well stated, plus there are several quick-tip cards with score values so you can save time.
Cards are fun and simple, and Canasta is a high energy card game that is perfect for small groups, travel, or simply passing time on a rainy day. For those of you looking for a swank card game for your next cocktail, lounge, or tiki party, grab this retro-inspired deck and have fun.
If you do plan on using the deck on a plane or train, buy the deluxe edition which includes a handy card tray (otherwise those cards will fly everywhere) and make sure you have plenty of room to spread out those melds.
Overall, a fun and simple game that will have you hooked in no time.

Electronic Pictionary Man Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is so much fun! You draw on the little man and his two props, to make the other team guess what he is.
1) Of COURSE it takes batteries. It is electronic.
2) I love the electronic aspect of it. It makes it so much easier, no cards, easy to keep track of. Much simpler!
3)The scoring is EASY. Just a wipe off board that you write your point (or no point) for that round on.
4) 30 seconds is more than enough time to act out the word or phrase. We even felt like this was a lot of time for some words. The word comes up on the bottom of his foot, so you are able to hide the word from your teammates even if they are right next to you.
We never have encountered any words yet that a 12-14 year old wouldn't understand. The more difficult category is TV, where the man will be a TV character. You may not know some of the TV shows, but hey, that's pictionary.
The only criticism that I would have is that some players will just try to draw a picture on the block, and play it like regular pictionary. (not even use the man). So for the first few rounds we didn't use the block. It is fun because you can not only draw on him, but he an act things out with the props. I kind of wish he was bendable.
All in all, this game was so much fun!!! I just brought it to a party of 8 people, and we had a blast!!!!! There really isn't anything to NOT like about it! Wow!!!

The T-Shirt Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The T-shirt Game is very similar to Apples to Apples, only here, you're submitting a caption for the T-shirt picture instead of an adjective. The game can be played by winning points or the T-shirt. The point system is flawed and will make the game go forever, so it's probably best to just say the first to get five or six T-shirts wins. Or go around and have everyone be a judge an equal number of times, the one with the most T-shirts wins. Like Apples, everyone takes turns being the judge.
A great party game I've brought to my gaming group and conventions. It always provides a good time and some laughs. The only problem is if you play the game a lot, you'll start seeing the same T-shirts and captions again. But there's enough variety to keep the game fresh. Still, I hope they make a second edition or an expansion pack for this game. Bottom line, if you like Apples to Apples, you'll like this game too!

Monopoly The Mega Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Warning, this game is NOT made by Hasbro. It is licensed from them and piggy backed on top of an actual monopoly game. Ok, no big deal you think but this does create some problems.
1) The instructions aren't written as a whole they just added the instructions for the new features to the front of the REAL instructions.
2) the cards (Chance and Community chest) weren't updated with the new updates. So, you draw get the card that tells you to pay for building repairs to houses and hotels... but what about skyscrapers? The cards are the standard cards that send you to all the original properties and none of the new. The card which doubles the railroad rent is still there... But, if your opponent has all four railroads AND has a train depot which doubles the rent to $400... then the card doubles that to $800???? (This did happened to me.) Ouch, for a $100 investment in a train depot you just earned more than most hotels earn on the medium to expensive properties. That seems lopsided.
3) The rent on the skyscrapers is in the thousands so paying $15 in poor tax or winning $10 for third place in a beauty contest is completely out of the scope of the new rents (they've included a $1,000 bill) and seems like a complete waste of time. And, there are no new cards which say something like "Won $500 in a state lottery" or something like that.
4) You use 3 die now. The third die is special. It has special squares as well as 1,2, and 3 dots. One of the special squares is "Mr Monopoly" and he is a bonus. But, the instructions tell you to move the number of squares on the other two dice and if you've rolled a Mr Monopoly then you proceed to the next unsold property. This is designed to speed up the acquisition of property... but you still only get $200 for passing go. So, you run out of cash and can't buy them any way. Plus are you supposed to pay rent on the first place you landed after moving the number of spaces on the conventional dice or is it all considered one turn? The instructions don't really specify. If you play it as all one turn then players use "Mr Monopoly" to avoid paying rent and zip right past your skyscrapers to land on the next unowned property. Either way by the end of the game it is usually the expensive green and blue properties that are left unsold so you go wizzing around the board with "Mr Monopoly" until someone finally saves enough money to buy them up and stop the madness.
There are positives...
1)Building shortages... Was this in the old rules (I don't remember)? When players use up all the buildings then you have to wait until some are sold back in order to build.
2) The skyscrapers and train depots are a cool idea and they look cool. They are plastic. I have no problems with plastic. Plastic lasts longer and has the cool little details that the wood blocks wouldn't have (like tiny little shingles on the houses).
3) The bus passes allow you to move forward to any spot on the side of the board you are on. There are a finite number of them and once they are all used then there are no more. Great idea. However, if you play the variant where you put $500 in the center of the board to be collected by someone who lands on free parking then you quickly find people bussing over to free parking to make quick cash...so you'll want to ditch that idea.
4) Additional properties. They added one property to each group (those with 2 now have 3 and those with 3 now have four). They added another utility (gas). So, with 3 out of 4 properties you can build houses and hotels... but you need the fourth property to get skyscrapers. (This, of course does violate the rule of evenly distributed buildings because when you acquire the 4th property you might already have hotels on the other 3 prpoerties.)
Summary: Nice ideas but they just didn't think all of these rule changes thru, nor did they integrate them with the old rules and cards of the game (and actually try it out) to make sure the gameplay was still as fun as the original game.

Balderdash Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had played Balderdash many years ago in high school. I am now in college and recently I had an urge to buy this game and enjoy it once again. I have a decent number of friends of whom I play many games with on many occasions. Some of our favorites are Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons and Cranium. We all have a lot of fun with these party games and have been enjoying them for years. However, I decided to try something new. This was when I remembered Balderdash.
Balderdash is a simple enough game, played with as little as two players (though I would recommend a minimum of four to really enjoy the game). The concept is as follows: A card is picked with one of five categories: Words, Initials, Movie Titles, People, and Laws. Each of these are things no one has ever heard of. Every round, one person reads the word/clue (this is the Dasher) to the others, who then do their best to write down what they think the definition/plot/etc. is. This is where everyone gets creative. You could write down a funny answer, a serious answer, or just anything. The idea is the trick everyone into voting for you. Once everyone writes down their submission, they turn in their little pieces of paper and the Dasher reads everyone's submissions to the group, randomly, with the REAL definition hidden among the rest. Everyone then votes on what they think the real one is. If you trick some people into picking your submission, you get points, which translate to moves. That's it.
The game's fun comes from the wacky submissions and the art of how you write your submissions. It's a game where the fun doesn't come from winning but from the laughs had by all. I've found that the actual definition is even weirder than what people write. People come up with some pretty crazy stuff, too, and if you have some creative friends you can have a really good time.
A complain I have about the game, though, is that it can be a bit short (a full run can last as little as 20-30 minutes) and there are not many slips of paper, as well as the fact that no pencils were included. However, once the paper runs out, you could easily use normal paper. Still, a minor inconvenience.
Don't let this deter you from getting this game, though. It is a very fun game and there are a LOT of clues given with the game to ensure that you will not see a repeat clue for quite some time. With a lot of creative people this game has the potential to be a real big hit. And because there are definitions, there is even a (slight) bit of learning, though this is NOT an educational game and probably shouldn't be treated as such.
Overall, this is a fun game that is best enjoyed with a decent-sized group of creative people. The supply limitations may deter a few, but it really shouldn't. Any problems with supplies can be overcome with standard paper and pencils. Overall, I very much recommend this game.

Balderdash the classic bluffing game has gone beyond hilarious. With outrageous questions that now include the category Laughable Laws play the game that asks your friends to call your bluff. Each game card lists People Words Initials Movies and Laws that you've probably never heard of. But that's where the fun really begins because you get to make up an answer that's as silly or as serious as you want! Now mix in the real answer and vote. You score points for guessing correctly and for bluffing the other players. So grab the bull by the horns and play Balderdash the game that's hilarious beyond belief!

True Colors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sure, there are lots of fun party games on the market. But True Colors is more than just fun. It's a good way to get to know your friends better. When I played with my friends, it started a few discussions and got us all to open up to each other about things we might never have discussed if not for this game.
If that scares you, this may not be the game for you. But if you're worried about the questions being overly personal and embarrassing, fear not. Most of them are fairly harmless and innocent, and the players can pick which questions they want to use, so if anything makes the group uncomfortable, you can just toss it out.
Of course, for the game to work, you HAVE TO know the people you're playing with. You can't play with strangers, since you won't be able to answer the questions honestly.
One drawback is that the game doens't have a lot of replay value if you only have a small group of friends, since once you've done all the questions (and there aren't all that many included), you've done them. Of course, you can always make up your own questions. And every time you play with a different set of people, it's a whole new game!
If you want a game that's fun in the moment, play Beyond Balderdash or Pictionary, but if you're looking for something that will resonate long after it's over, try True Colors.

Curses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Curses is a game for 3-6 players that's goal is not strategy or knowledge but laughter... Unfortunately it fell a little short.
How to Play:
The gist of the game is that on each of your turns you must do a challenge card. The cards have a challenge such as "You are Santa Clause, tell each player what they are getting for Christmas" or "You are an airplane pilot in a plane that is crash landing, show how you would make the announcement to your passengers."
If you at least try to do your challenge you get to give a "Curse" card to someone. This is what is actually funny about the game. The curses vary and say things such as "You are now fingerless; do not use your fingers anymore." "Speak as though you have an invisible golf ball in your mouth." "You are Scooby Doo speak like him. IE I am Rooby Roo." and "Every time someone touches you, you must act like you are being electrocuted."
If you catch another player not following their curse cards (and this gets complicated once you have four or more) you ding the bell on them and say "curse breaker." They must then flip that curse card. Three cards flipped and they are out. (As a note, we added a house rule that once someone was out they could still play, they could just no longer win. It gets boring when only two people are left playing.)
Thoughts:
This game certainly produced some laugh out loud moments for each group I played with and, the image of my sisters with their "fingerless" hands against their head singing a Christmas Carol in a high pitched voice in a wicked witch's accent, havening to echo the last word of each sentence, backwards (one's Curse card said you had to copy the player to your left) was pretty funny.
But as a note some of them are not so funny, especially with certain crowds. Also, the challenge cards aren't that funny at all unless you have several curses. How is it funny for someone to "take each person's dinner order" or "Arrest the person next to you?" These can be funny, if someone is cursed with something crazy like "speak only in a high-pitched tone" but often there are no curses that really affect game play too much for the first half of the game and it's not that funny.
Another thing I noticed was that there are not many cards included if you plan on playing with the same group very often. It's funny the first time for someone to do something totally ridiculous, but the third (or following) times it loses something.
I will have to say, though, that most everyone who played enjoyed it. (Including one 7 year old... he didn't really get the game play but seeing the adults & older siblings act like morons and getting encouraged to do so was fun for him).
Only half of the moments are actually funny. I would revise several of the cards (making the challenge cards, well, a little more challenging) and include more "curse" cards.
I don't regret buying this game and I'm sure we will pull it out from time to time (although not too often)... If an expansion pack was released I would probably purchase it with high hopes.
As a note this game is great with middle & high schoolers... If I had only played it (once) with that age group it would probably get a five star. But, due to the small amount of cards and other age reactions, it receives a "3 star" rating.
**UPDATE 7/12/2010**
I still agree with my 3 star rating ... but I have a group of friends who just LOVE this game ... they could play it over and over again and NEVER get bored of it (there age range is early to late 20's) ... I am sticking with my original thoughts though ... this game depends entirely on the group you are playing with. If they don't get into it the game will be terrible ... if they love it, Curses will become your favorite game on your game shelf.
