Are You Afraid of the Dark Nickelodeon Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this is such a great game. The best part is you can roll the die as many times as you want so you could cross the whole board in one turn, just don't get the black star it ends your turn! I love bumping people in The Pit. The only thing is, all those Items you collect to help you are kind of useless and the game is usually won before anyone uses them. For the price, and with a group this is a great game. Easy to learn.

iToys Inc Price Is Right Electronic Tabletop Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two components to my review...first one of the product, then a separate one on the seller, in this case amazon.com.
There have been several home games for The Price is Right, both the older Bill Cullen version and the revamped Bob Barker/ Dennis James et. al. version. It's a tough game to capture in a box...the editions that I have really require a lot of setup. We really liked the recent Endless Games version, but we spent more time in set up than in playing the actual game, so it hasn't left the cabinet in a while.
Irwin Toys electronic games are, with the exception of the dreadful "Family Feud" electronic game, pretty good, and this is no exception. The show's most popular games are included. Everything from items up for bid, to the pricing games themselves and the showcases are represented on cards. The players type in a numeric code, and you simply play along. It works quite well. My only problem is that when the digital text is rolling on the screen it really cannot be read, which is important when there are numbers that you need. That needs improved if they produce another edition. Clock game is a bit goofy, but after several plays we nailed it...it simply requires as much concentration as it does on the show. Of course, the hit in our house is Plinko. Owners should make sure you keep a baggie to keep the Plinko chips in.
My only beef with this product is from Amazon.com. The price for this thing fluctuated like a yo-yo. I bought it at what I thought was a good price, only for it to go down another $5 overnight. As amazon has done away with its noble price protection, they would not credit that difference. But as the price I paid was half off suggested retail, I'm not to miffed. I just suggest that amazon.com look at reviewing their price-protection policy again, as their decision makes me a bit wary.
If you like TPIR, grab a copy of this. You'll really like it...a great way to spend a few hours.

Andy Griffith Trivia Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the right company - a chapter of "The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club," for instance, or any group of Mayberry-minded cronies - this game can be a lot of fun. Beware, though, if your opponents are only casual watchers: They'll be bored and you'll win handily, but without satisfaction, every time.
The main problem with this game is its lack of drama. Play consists of rolling a single die and answering trivia questions (true/false, specific answer, multiple choice) to advance your token around the board. That's it: There are none of the unexpected detours, setbacks or rewards that distinguish the best board games.
Had the board included Mayberry landmarks (The Courthouse, Floyd's Barber Shop, Wally's Service Station, The Diner, Myers Lake, etc.) and corresponding activities, play would be enlivened tremendously. The game would also be more enjoyable if it included questions about the program's stars, guest stars and other "reality" aspects, instead of dealing solely with character and Mayberry-oriented trivia.
Despite its shortcomings, I recommend this game to those TAGS fans who have to have absolutely everything associated with the show, and to anyone lucky enough to have enough Andy-philes in their orbit to organize a fair game.
This is a handsome product (despite the rather crude and unflattering portrait of Andy and Opie on the box and on the board itself) and is sure to become a coveted collector's item in the future. It would make an excellent gift for any TAGS fan in your life.
NOTE: "Educational value" really does not apply to this game,
unless you are seeking to expand your knowledge of TAGS!

Return to America's favorite hometown for a heapin' helpin' of heartwarming humor. Do you know how far Raleigh was from Mayberry? How about the name of the town drunk? If you do- or if you want to find out- this is the game for you! Players roll the dice and move their pawns along the colorful game board. Each space is designated with a question category: true/false, multiple choice and specific answers. Answer correctly and get another turn. The first player to reach The End wins! Aint Bee would be so proud. Game contains game board, die, four pawns, and one box of trivia cards (1,000 questions). For 2 to 4 players.
