Family Game Night Book and Game Set, Four Great Games In One CLUE SORRY SCRABBLE YAHTZEE Review

Family Game Night Book and Game Set, Four Great Games In One CLUE SORRY SCRABBLE YAHTZEE
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There are probably more pros than cons to this collection of games. The slim case is nice--it saves a lot of space than having these four games in separate boxes would (Actually it is smaller than some single game-boxes I own). Also, the quality is mostly better than expected, the board games (of which you get two, double sided) are sturdy. Yahtzee and Clue both come with nice scoring pads. Unlike individual versions of Yahtzee this will not come with a dice cup, but you can easily play without one.
The big problem for me really was Scrabble. It does not come with a scoring pad, nor does it come with a pouch for the tiles (even the cheapest version of scrabble available usually has these.) The stands for holding up the tiles are made of cheap cardboard which you must fold up to use. Of course every time you are done playing you need to unfold them in order to fit them back into the compartment. I can see these stands breaking after just a few plays (or if a kid gets their hands on them). I guess my biggest issue though is not having a bag for the tiles. I will just use a zip-lock bag because otherwise they fall right out of the top of the compartment and all over the other compartment sections (all of the cards and other pieces for the other games seem to stay in place).
All in all this set is a good value and a great space saver. If Scrabble is your favorite game that you would play the most, though, I would suggest buying it separately.

Michael Graves Design™ Scrabble Review

Michael Graves Designand#153; Scrabble
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this special "designer" Scrabble set with the expectation that it would be superior to the "original" set I already owned. While the plastic case, stainless steel game board, and aluminum tile holders are nice, there are a few flaws.
One flaw is the large gap in the middle of the game board where the board folds. It is somewhat annoying when trying to form words across the middle of the board. I'm sure the designers could have overcome this somehow, maybe by changing the way the board folds.
Another flaw: the grid painted onto the game board is not big enough. If you're spelling a word from the top of the game board down to the middle, the plastic tiles extend past the outer edge of the grid.
Also, the paperless scoring system is a bit confusing. It may take a few games to get the hang of it.
When you pay a premium price for something, you expect something better than the standard edition. I think these flaws should have been discovered and fixed before this set was released.

Bananagrams 6 Games S Review

Bananagrams 6 Games S

I was given a Spanish version of Bananagrams that I used for my Spanish classes. I was so impressed that I invested in 6 sets of the English version from Amazon. The "Scrabble-like" format, but on an individual basis, uses all of the player's own tiles. It creates a need for quick action to compose a crossword using all of their tiles first. My colleagues and I use them for reinforcment in reading and spelling and as incentive rewards. What a nifty tool! Students quickly learn word patterns. Students are fully engaged and don't hesitate to challenge each other's words too. The most often heard phrase? "Is_______ a word?"

New York Yankees Scrabble® Review

New York Yankees Scrabble®
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought it as a gift for my husband who is a huge Yankees fan-so anything that says Yankees he likes. We really like regular scrabble so I thought this would be even better since it combined his favorite team with something we have fun doing. The rules of this game are slightly different so you really have to read the rule book before you play, it's ok for a change but makes it somewhat confusing. There is also a list of special words like "Jeter" or "Yankees" that give you a very large amount of bonus points. However this is bad since if you don't get one of those words you probably won't win-so basically I was reading over the list each time to see if I had those words, and once I figured out I didn't have one of the special words I had to spend more time trying to figure out another word to place. I didn't like that it was a cardboard board versus regular scrabble that is usually a plastic carrying case-which is much more durable and portable. In Yankee Scrabble the letters are placed on the board and there is no way for them to stay attached(like regular scrabble boards)-so if you accidently hit the board you have a problem. The actual letters are nice plastic and well printed so I wish they had put as much effort into making the board plastic. The cardboard board was brightly printed, it used a legend to signify extra point values for using spaces marked with baseball bats,etc (instead of just saying triple word score,etc)-which makes it more fun for baseball fans and just more trouble for those who are used to regular scrabble. Overall it was fun, yet the next times we have played scrabble we ended up using our old scrabble game and not this one.

Love the product but disappointed in the advertisement for the roll-o-matic device.
I waited a while to get that specific model and when it came, not there. The Roll-o-matic allows the puzzle, hidden underneath the cards, to be changed.
This allows two people to play without revealing the puzzle to either player. Now I need three people to play. Bummer.

As a teacher of English as a Second Language, this was probably one of the most effective tools for teaching grammar. the sentences could be as silly as anything, but as long as they were grammatically correct the students got the credit. My own children loved this as well - it was a good time-filler while waiting for dinner, etc. I wish this was available at the original price ($10 or so) because mine went lost years ago when I changed schools.

I had played this game before, enjoyed it and ordered this one for my grandchildren. The model in the picture shown is the model of the game I first played. However, the model that arrived was different, with the tiles being smaller and having the more distracting design of 4 baby blocks on each. I felt it was not quite as easy to play using this model and wish the correct picture had been shown.

This product was ordered over a month ago. It was shipped on Sept 28, but we have not received it. I contacted the seller who confirmed that he sent it USPS, so it was out of his hands. I think it would be wise for your suppliers to have tracking numbers assigned to their shipments to avoid problems like this in the future. Heaven only knows where this item is - somewhere between Los Angeles and Minnesota.... Will be very hesitant to place orders from third parties from now on! Ratings are based on past experieces with this item.

I have always been a big TriBond fan and have waited for years for a new version to come out. I was a bit intimidated when I saw Will Shortz name on because I stink at crossword puzzles. Once you start playing its alot of fun. There are several different categories of TriBond questions so many of them allow you to deduce the answer even if you dont know it right away. Great party game. Had lots of fun with a few couples. Highly recommend it!!

The game of TriBond starts with three seemingly unrelated clues. What do a car, a tree, and an elephant have in common? Would your team be able to guess that they all have trunks? Finding the common bond in a TriBond Threezer riddle is fun! Advance when you answer correctly, but get ready, if challenged you might be sent back! Be the first team to fill your scoring board to win!

We checked this out at our local library and are now buying it. What's great about this game is that it doesn't just focus on one math skill but touches on most that the 2-3rd graders are learning and keeps the game fun while really pushing them to problem solve and think through the solutions. The questions are very straight-forward and to-the-point. A very easy game to pull out and play in 10-15 mins.
