Scene It? To Go! 80’s Music Version - Only at Target Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a fun game if you grew up with this music and watched the videos. Don't play it with "Jo" she listens to Steve FM on the internet while at work so she know all the answers before you can think you do.

Trivial Pursuit: 6th Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sorry, but Volume 6 does NOT compare to the classic Genus and Genus II versions of this game. Rather, Volume 6 relies heavily on People Magazine-type trivia -- lots of inane pop culture-oriented questions, for which even die-hard trivia fans will be saying "Who cares?" An example of this is a question about Christina Ricci appearing in a GAP commercial. This was in the HISTORY category! Lame! About 40% of the questions seemed to fall into this category. Another 20-30% were ridiculously easy, a further 20% ridiculously obscure. The creators have also ditched the nuanced questioning style of the original game, by which one could often deduce the answer, even when it was something otherwise unknown.
I think the problem here is that TP is issuing too many versions in too short a period of time. Genus 5, which I DO like, came out fairly recently (I think), and I think TP needs to take some more time to write better questions. Part of the fun of TP has been that you learn from the questions you miss. With Volume 6, you just don't care.

Neca Wizkids Games Gremlins Gizmos Great Escape Collector's Edition Game Review

Average Reviews:

(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.

Trivial Pursuit Greatest Hits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My family loves Trivial Pursuit so I bought this version to try. The questions are great for the most part and directions are simple. My only complaint is there aren't near enough question cards. We played this 2 times and by then we had to skip over so many because we had been through them already. I only paid $12 for it though and got free shipping so the price wasn't bad at all.

Transformers Chess Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great item for a Transformer's fan, but defiantly not for someone who intends to use this to actually play chess. Each piece has the symbol of the chess piece it represents, but it does become a bit of a hassle to constantly check which piece is what short of memorizing which transformer represents each piece.
The pieces are a sort of soft plastic material, and the whole set has a smell of spray paint. Again, great collectors item, but not recommended for those who wish to play chess with this chess set.

Trivial Pursuit: Totally 80s Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 80s were such a fun and visual decade, it would have been nice if this game had an audio or visual component. A DVD would have been nice. Even if they didn't go the DVD route, if there were cards with pictures and a person had to name the item on the picture (like say a Rubik's cube) that would have been nice.
This is not the only 80s related game on the market. There is "The 80s Game," "Vh-1/Targets We Are The 80s" board game and "Name That Tune 80s Edition."
How does Trivial Pursuit 80s Edition measure up?
The game is nice. When you open the box you find the neatly folded game board. There are four player pieces--a care bear looking bear, a personal computer, a CD and a Trapper Keeper. There is also one die and the other small pieces used with the board game.
Four sets of trivia cards are included. The question categories include Headlines, TV, Movies, Music, Sports & Leisure, and Wild Card.
I will say the questions are better than they are in the I Love The 80s Game. The questions are challenging and varied in nature.
Here are a few sample questions-
"What British hair band topped the chart only one time with "Here I Go Again?" (music)
"What Aaron Spelling show was slated to star Bette Davis in her first weekly series until she took ill and was replaced by Anne Baxter?" (TV)
"What former Speaker of the House cashed in on his celebrity by appearing in ads for American Express and Miller Light?" (WC)
The game also comes with a travel game. The travel game features questions from Trivial Pursuit volume 6 which isn't 80s related.
In the age of Scene It, Trivial Pursuit 80s Edition is essentially another board game--except with 80s related questions. In comparison to the other 80s games on the market, this game has the best question assortment. It will be a fun game to play if you play with people who know a lot about the 80s. However, in my opinion, there is still no ultimate 80s game on the market.
Scene It games aren't always the answer because you can quickly start to see the same clip more than once. Someone needs to design an 80s game with visual card cues, an audio and a DVD component.
Until then, well we can just wait.

Trivial Pursuit 25th Anniversary Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have love T.P. since it came out in the 1980's. I still have my original, but was happy to update my game with this. Not only do the added levels make this fun, it also allows for my kids to play (with different answer levels we can keep theirs on an easier plane).
My biggest problem is the incorrect answers. We have only played this with the family twice (one session lasted 8 hours...because we did not put in a time limit) the other about 3. Both times we came across questions whose printed answers were incorrect.
For example...History: 5/6 (on difficulty level) "Who was pope immediately prior to John Paul II?" They provide the answer as "Pope Paul VI"...but lest we forget there was a Pope John Paul I who served for about one month as pope after Paul VI,but died in his sleep bringing forth John Paul II. So JP I is the correct answer.
So, as long as you do not mind having a laptop at the ready to double check things like this...or marking up your cards with the correct answers...you will have some fun with this.
