(More customer reviews)This was a pretty weird thing to see at the toy store a few months ago. A board game based on Gremlins??? With little Gremlins and a little Gizmo as the game pieces? Where was this thing when I was little?! This is a cute little game aimed at kids and their families, though I guess it appeals to some 'collectors' too. If you've got children, or brothers and sisters to play board games with, this is a simple one that'll definitely stand out from the others like Monopoly and Crocodile Dentist.
The game comes with 6 figures (Gizmo, Stripe and 4 other Gremlins), cards, instructions and the game board, which is actually just a folded piece of paper with squares on it for traps and the Exit. It's for two people, one person playing as Gizmo and the other as Stripe. If you're Gizmo, you win by making it to the Exit square or destroying Stripe. If you're Stripe, you win by destroying Gizmo or moving Stripe or any Gremlin piece onto the square Gizmo's on. Players take turns drawing cards and moving the number of spaces as directed. The trap spaces are pretty self-explanitory: if a piece lands on the trap space, that piece is taken out of the game until it's over. Yeah, like I said above, this is a simple game that pretty much anyone can play regardless of their age.
I'm giving it 2/5 stars for education since this would be a good board game to get any younger kids started on, teaching them to take turns, go by the rules, count spaces to move, etc. 'not very educational or anything, but it's something. The durability is average since the 'board' is just basic paper folded up a few times, and the cards aren't very thick either. The game pieces are done well, though not 'highly detailed' as some sites claim. All of the Gremlins look identical aside from a hat, mohawk, mask or accessory if they have one. But these are tiny pieces, so it's understandable. And the price is pretty good for this too, though you can get some much bigger board games for a buck or two more. Either way, it's still not a bad deal, and do I need to bring up again that this is a freakin' Gremlins board game????
Gremlins fans don't have much merchandise these days, and this board game is definitely one of the more unique things to come out in a while. It's simple to play, and best for kids 5 and under, but it'd be a fun thing for parents to play with their kids if they're both fans of the movie. And hey, you can always use the little figures as pieces in other games. Gremlins in Candyland? Genius.
