Dig It Review

Dig It
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have thousands of puzzles, and I'm always looking for true gems. Dig-it is one of these puzzle gems.
Each of the 60 puzzles involves 3 polyomino pieces, and a buried bone. For a move, you can lift up one piece, and then put it back anywhere it will fit. This is a variety of sliding-block puzzle.
How hard can a puzzle be with 3 pieces? Turns out -- pretty hard. There is a lot of depth to these puzzles, though, since you can often see 3-5 moves ahead.
These are a series of graded challenges, from beginner to extreme.

Dig it!Unleash your mindIt's a great day to be a dog in the park. The sun is shining, there are no cats to be seen... and the tantalizing whiff of a big, crunchy bone can be smelled from somewhere nearby. But shuffling around the patches of turf to dig it up is going to require creativity and cleverness. That's no problem for a smart canine like you: The challenge will only make the reward that much more delicious, so get out there, think it through and dig it!

18" Leatherette Backgammon set w/Beautiful Old World Map Design Review

The actual board is very nice! The stitching is solid and the textures and colors are very pleasing. However, the company really went cheap with the checkers. After 3 games, I noticed that at least 3 of the checkers have some nasty cracks in them, like they were cured improperly.
I will be getting some higher quality checkers, but the board is pretty nice!

Gave this to my husband for his birthday. He had no interest in Backgammon whatsoever but liked the colors. After a year of sitting on the shelf he rediscovered his gift and played it constantly with his friends. It is fairly light and easy to carry around. It is also very durable with no signs of wear after 3 or so years.
Would recommend this for a gift!

Thingamajig Party Game Review

Our family has been playing this game for several years now and we love it. It is very easy to play - each player takes a turn getting a word from the electronic device and then gives any clue they want. The twist is that the person giving the clue wants to give a clue that gets some of the players to guess the word correctly but NOT all (since the person giving the clue gets a point for each player that guesses the word correctly unless all players guess the word, in which case the clue-giver gets no points).

I know that "you get what you pay for" but I'd hoped it would be a little sturdier. Some of the metal rods seem to be angled into each other, and there are a couple of spots where the ball is out of reach for all the players. Still, it is fun and a good price, and works if you don't have the space for a larger unit.

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.

My 4 year old broke his arm just below the shoulder and had to have his entire arm wrapped to his chest for over a month. I got him this for preschool to hold his papers still so he could still color and write. The elastic corners were perfect and it worked great so he could still do things one-handed. It is also light weight so it doesn't weigh down his back pack.

Mudpuppy Map of the USA Play Scene Sticker Set Review

Mudpuppy Map of the USA Play Scene Sticker Set
Average Reviews:

We used this map for the license plate game on a 9 day road trip; it was a great joy for our 6 year old. The stickers held up well and are reusable, which is great because we take lots of trips. We will get at least two or three more trips before the stickers centered in the folding crease fall apart. The New England states are all lumped together as one sticker so if you find one- you find them all. It has lots of decorative picture stickers that she could use to decorate when the plate games was getting slow. It was much better than using a printed off piece of paper and I was very happy with the quality for the price!

Boggle Folio Review

Boggle Folio
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Boggle is a game in which you try to make up the most words using the letters found in a 4x4 grid. The letters must connect and you only have three minutes to do so. The bigger the words the higher the points you get, but if two or more players find the same word no one gets points for it. The game is very fun and fast paced. Plus you can play as little or as much time as you want; no need to "finish" the game (like in Scrabble). Just add the points and whoever has the higher score wins, it's that simple.
This version is Awesome and nicely improved over the original version. Here comes the description;
NEW DOME AND GRID: The dome and grid are made of a new material that makes it QUIETER when you shake the letter dice. No more waking everyone up late at night!
BUILT-IN TIMER: It comes with an electronic timer (batteries are included) that beeps softly and changes color from green to amber, then to red when times almost up. This eliminates the need to bob up your head every 10 seconds to see if the sand timer ran out. Great!
PLAYING MATERIALS: Four pads and pencils are included, plus the instructions obviously.
COMES IN A FOLIO: Stores everything easily. The folio has pockets for the pads and pencils (extra space for more). You can carry it around comfortably and is great if you have to travel or wait for a long time in one place.
This version is so nice it should be called Boggle Deluxe Edition. If you like Boggle you must buy this. As soon as you do, you will not go back to the original version, guaranteed.

I just bought this last week for my Boggle-addicted husband. He loves it. It's a great set. The timer/pencil and everything fit right in the bottom of the case. No game box included or necessary.
The game is full-sized.
Like the first reviewer stated, the lid doesn't stay snapped on like it should. Bummer. We just put a rubber band around it & all is well in our world.
For just over 1/3 the price of the regular version, I don't know why any Boggle buyer would buy the other set. This and a rubber band is all you need.

Travel Blokus Review

Travel Blokus
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In Europe, this game is called Blokus Duo, and it's actually the two-person version of the four-person game Blokus. The pieces are identical, except there are only two sets, not four, so the board is smaller too. So yes, you can travel with it - but it's ideal to play at home when there are only two of you.
Personally, I prefer this version to standard Blokus - there isn't the "gang-up" factor that standard Blokus has. I almost took away one star because the game is so addicting, but that wouldn't be fair to the game.

I own several rush hour games and enjoy them a great deal. I've completed all of the car rush hour games(1-3)and was waiting for a similiar type game for my 5 year old. The new safari theme helps my child to relate to the rush hour concept and I have actually found the safari expert level more challenging than the original(car) rush hour versions. The heavy-duty storage sack is also a great evolution from the original rush hour packaging as there is no need to try and cram all the pieces in a box. This is a great product from a great company and I would recommend it highly.

My son (just turned 5) really enjoys playing with his 7 yr old sister. They both are great at strategizing by creating their own rows to win while also blocking each other. It's a good way to make children use critical thinking skills and work on focusing continually. This is great for summer, play it outside, play at the hotel, bring to a restaurant while waiting for your food to arrive. This is really worth buying (and I bought it for under $10 from Amazon a couple of months ago, look for a sale!)

Candy Land Fun On the Run Game Review

Candy Land Fun On the Run Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really surprised that the quality of the game was so much lower than travel Sorry, but the game board is really cute, the gingerbread pieces are plastic and really cute, and the game board looks like a little hardcover book, snaps shut tightly and is easy to toss in a bag or the car to keep for, well, anything.
The spinning dial is SO much better for kids than cards--they should build them into all of the games. More fun, less messy, doesn't get crumpled or lost, and makes so much noise and is fun to spin! Another bonus: it seems like there is one of every "card" (one single yellow, one double yellow, one gumdrop, etc.) so it seems that your odds of getting any particular card, particularly the "candy" cards is greatly increased. We played one game tonight and though the board is so teeny, I think the game went on and on for about 15 minutes because we kept jumping backwards and forwards from one candy feature to another. This greatly pleased my child, who was extremely bored by the "real" candy land.
Like I said about the board quality--the actual board, pieces, snaps, etc. are all very durable, but the spinning area is very cheap; you have to lift up and twirl to get a decent spin, which I wouldn't be bugged by if I didn't have travel Sorry. The spinner on Sorry is fast and really spins, this one just kind of clicks around until you get the mechanism. Still, a heck of a great time and we are going to be playing this often.
