LEGO Creationary Game (3844) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The game is similar to Pictionary but instead of drawing, you use Legos.
What is in the game:
-- a Lego Dice, which has the categories that can be found on the cards (Buildings, Nature, Things, Vehicles) as well as a You Choose and Double (which is like You Choose but you get double points if you guess.
-- a set of 96 cards divided into Easy, Medium and Hard that have pictures on them for different categories that are on the Lego Dice (Buildings, Nature, Things, Vehicles)
-- a building tray to sort the pieces by color
-- an assortment of 338 Lego pieces
How to Play:
The instruction booklet describes several different ways you can play the game, but all basically come down to building what is on the card and having someone else guess what you built. The game itself can be pretty challenging -- even for adults. My 5-year-old was able to play it though, and I think most kids familiar with Legos could play it. The recommended ages are 7 and up.
My Thoughts:
I think it is creative way to play with Legos, and a game that the entire family could participate in -- even my husband enjoyed playing it! I think it definitely encourages imagination and creativity. I also appreciate that Lego provided an assortment of ways to play ... and I'm sure most families could think up their own rules to adapt their own needs. This is only one of a whole new series of games by Lego but we chose this one because it seemed to the most open-ended and best suited to the age of our son. When he gets older, I'm sure we'll be checking into some of the other Lego games that are just being released.

LEGO Games Harry Potter Hogwarts 3862 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really wonderful game for older children and adults to play together. The first time you play, the board needs to be built which can be a little time consuming. But after that, the instructions are simple and can be learned in a few minutes. Game play is fun but challenging and involves strategic and spacial thinking. It's easy enough for an older child, but requires enough thought to engage and adult. I also love how the game encourages so much creativity. The dice, board and rules can all be customized. Depending on which variation you play, a game can take between 10 minutes and half an hour. I've rarely seen my 10 year old so excited about a board game. The only downside I see is like all Lego sets, there are many small pieces. I see the potential for loosing pieces. However, I'm sure you could substitute with pieces from other Lego sets easily. I'm definitely pleased with my purchase.

LEGO Monster 4 Game (3837) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 6-year old son got this in his Easter Basket this year. He loves this game, and anything Lego. The game is basically like tic-tac-toe, but it is with four pieces in a row. He seemed to quickly understand the game rules and the concept of the joker/wild skeletons and the scary spider. The box is extra sturdy so it can take extra wear with travel. My son takes it with him everywhere and loves to play with anyone, or by himself - rolling the die for two different characters. He's now starting to redesign the game board and pieces to his own liking and creativity. Definitely recommend.

LEGO Make a Match Memory Matching Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My oldest son got this game several years ago and it has been played many times since then. The game consists of the box that it comes/stores in, 3 thin cardboard sheets with pictures on both sides, small matching picture squares and duplo sized Lego blocks.
You slide in a sheet with pictures into the base with the red dot showing (this keeps you from seeing where the pics are) and place the Lego blocks over the cut out squares. Then slide the sheet to the right until a green dot shows and you are ready to play. You play just like the memory game, turn over a card and then lift a lego to see if you find a match.
This game is very easy for young ones to play. There are 3 sets of cards with different levels: pictures only, numbers and letters. The only thing I don't like about the number and letter cards are that the picture is on one side and the letter/number is on the back side.
The inside piece that holds the sheets and blocks is kind of thin and is easy to tear or bend. I wish that this was made a little sturdier. Over all this is a decent game and has been one of our kids' favorites and is still in good condition even though we have had it for at least 4-5 years.

Spongebob Squarepants Great Jellyfish Escape Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, basically this is best only for young kids who are diehard spongebob fanatics. You roll a direction die and cross a board to get to the Krusty Krab while avoiding being stung by the giant jellyfish. The only reason I took the time to write a review is that my 5 yr old and 6 yr old developed a solid understanding of North-South-East-West directionals from the markings on this board and the directional die. The game didn't last very long at our house, a week of heavy play then a few months of occasional play, but they both are aware of compass and can find NW NE etc. on regular maps now.

Mega Bloks Build'n Discover Sorter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As the previous reviewer said, "It's an ok toy." I don't like that many of the blocks fit in the shape holes -- it doesn't provide much learning in that regard. The toy is supposed to come with decals. Despite numerous emails and a phone call over the past 3 months, I haven't received them. Responses to my email indicate that it will be attended to "promptly." With each email, I get a new event # -- and then never hear from them again.

LEGO Minotaurus Game (3841) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our family is big on Lego, and board games, so obviously we were intrigued by all the new Lego games. While at the Lego store, they told me that the staff favorite was Minotaurus, and that it was somewhat like Sorry. We love Sorry, so I thought we'd like this one too!
The goal is to get your heroes to the center of the board first. But there are hedges and walls making a maze that you have to wade through. You roll the die and go that amount of spaces. If the die lands on black, then you can move the Minotaur 8 spaces, hopefully taking out one of your opponents and sending him back to start. If the die lands on grey, then you move a grey wall brick - you can block your opponents' path, or keep the Minotaur from reaching you, etc.
The basic game has you win when you have one hero reach the center, but it's actually way more fun when you require all three heros to be there. Then you have time to really mess up people's pathways and get the Minotaur action going. We also like to play the variation with the addition of a green die option, which enables your hero to jump over a hedge.
The die has got rubber edges, which means it bounces all over when you roll it. It is both funny and annoying at the same time. Be prepared for it to get bounced off the table over and over again. The kids think it is hilarious.
The major downside is that the pieces are regular-sized lego pieces, so they can be hard to manipulate in the tight spaces of the maze. My youngest is 5.5, and he is just barely able to deal with the smallness of it. (But the recommended age on the box is 7+, so he is below that, but he just loves the game.) It would be nice to see a duplo version - I don't know if that would be too big or not.
Anyway, my kids have been wanting to play this every night since we got it. You have to have kids that are okay with getting knocked back to start and a little trash talk. If your kids are traumatized by Sorry, then they won't like this. But if your kids are more cutthroat, then they'll love it. Every time the Minotaur gets unleashed in our games, everyone starts chanting "Min-o-taur! Min-o-taur!" while the hapless hero screams, "Nooooo!!!!" We've been having a blast with it.

Genius Products Halo Interactive Strategy Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It may seem like just a cash-in on a popular franchise but it is still a great board game. The board can be set-up in many different ways,along with different rules and modes to keep things fresh every time you play. Combat is extremely fun and balanced on both sides the way the game is set up is so that 2 players control thier own squad and try to eliminate each other or complete objectives. the rules seem complex in the beginning but if you actually read them they make sense. Almost anybody can pick up this board game with a friend and play and I was able to change the rules to the point where 4 people could join in and have an equal chance at playing, without much effort. The DVD isn't necessary but it is a great way to change things up which is still nice. The voice-overs are ok even if they dont capture the personality of your favorite characters, and it uses in-game footage which is good too.
If you love strategy board games and want something unique and fresh than this game is most definitely for you even if you have never heard of or played halo. If your a halo fan and enjoy a occasional board game than i highly recommend it.

LEGO Race 3000 (3839) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son received this Lego race game for his 8th birthday. He loves Legos and racing so he was really excited about it.
He enjoyed putting it together and it does fit back into the box just fine. When we played it the first time, there were four people playing. The instructions were a little confusing. The other problem we had was that when there were more than two cars near each other on the track, it was hard to fit them all on the pegs. The cars were too big to have next to each other because they took up more space than just one peg. The concept of this game was fun and we still enjoyed it but we enjoy Creationary more.

U-Build Monopoly Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this to my son, he really liked the idea of building your own Monopoly board. However, it seemed to be more complicated than we were expecting.
The pieces don't always stay together and the money is annoying, I much prefer the money system of the original monopoly game.
It is still fun to play but a bit more complicated than we wanted.

LEGO GAMES Orient Bazaar 3849 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son love to play this (11 yrs old). He especially loves that they include extra rules to be changed, new ways to play, etc. Just want Amazon to know that they are overpriced on their LEGO sets. Lego.com sells this for $19.99 plus $4.97 to ship--saw other sets on Amazon similarly over priced (with shipping, nearly double the true retail price from LEGO!). We were going to purchase from Amazon until we saw the price difference and ended up purchasing at a LEGO store.

Loopz Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is fun for the whole family. I bought it for my sons 6th Birthday and it has been a hit. My 9 year old daughter and 7 year old son really enjoy it, my 6 year old likes it but does find it a little more challenging than the older two, and my 4 year old daughter like to have her turns. The game is great for reflex and coordination; I swear I can see all kinds of neurons firing in their young minds as they play.

Clue Harry Potter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this board game thinking that the only allure it would have for my 8 year old son was the fact that it was Harry Potter based. I was happy to be wrong and surprised . I love that there is an added level to the old style clue with the dark mark deck and help cards. The most challenging part for my three boys is not losing all of your house points before you can rescue the lost student. If your child is a Harry Potter fan or not i think this toy is a very smart purchase and very worth the price paid for it. I would only say that you should be aware this is definately not for anyone younger than 7 reading is a big must.(my 4 year old was broken hearted he couldn't play too, so he became the dice thrower!)

LEGO Hogwarts Game (3862) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Harry Potter Hogwarts game is an incredible value at just under $30. First you are able to build the game board, so it's equivalent to a normal Lego set. Then you play! The introductory game play is simple enough and complex enough for both kids and adults to enjoy. My favorite part was listening to the brainstorming that occurs when players (yes, grown ups and kids) realize they can adapt the game in an infinite number of ways. Best toy I have seen to stimulate imagination, cooperation, and creativity. My eight year old son even plays with the board game by himself creating and playing out different Harry Potter scenarios. I'm very thankful the game comes in a box that is sized just right . . . small enough to store in the game cupboard and big enough to store the game board without having to take it apart. I also appreciate the rubber edges on the dice. (No need to roll the dice in the box to prevent damaging furniture!) The Harry Potter Hogwarts game/toy deserves awards and will likely be be one of the hottest selling items during the Christmas season this year!
Note: We also own Creationary. I would recommend it as well. However, if you need to choose between Creationary and one of the themed Lego games, I would recommend trying the themed games. (Pirates, Monster, Pyramid, Race 3000, etc.) Although, we have only tried Harry Potter Hogwarts at this point. We cannot wait to try the others!

LEGO Games Magma Monster 3847 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Both of my sons age 3 and 5 love playing this game. You build rocks paths of three varying colors to reach the Magma monster and steal his treasure. Along the way you can move the fire wall to block your opponents or send them a bat attack (my 3 yr old son's favorite part) which can send them back to the beginning. Only minor problem so far has been the fine motors skills required to play on this 6" square game-board. But I guess that's why it's recommended for 7+. Overall, I'm telling you it's a blast. And unlike the other reviewer, I had no problem with the directions which are in 6 different languages, including english.
