from: Mattel


A game that I bought after reading the reviews and have not been disappointed. It is great fun for the child and the adult and teaches at the same time. Fully recommended.

.Scrabble Original
City Travel Guides > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Mattel


This might call itself Scrabble Original, but it isn't. The Scrabble sets I played on as a lad all had wee holes in the board and pegs on the tiles so that the game wouldn't be ruined by the slightest knock. Sadly no more. It also comes in a stupidly huge box to make storage unnecessarily awkward. Disappointing.

.Winning Moves - Pass the Pigs
City Travel Guides > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Winning Moves


This has to be the best and most addicting game ever! I love it. It reminds me when I was younger (about 8-10 y.o) when I used to go to the pub with my dad and his friend, I'd make them play it with me all the time and 'bet' money, because I was only young, I obviously had no money, so if they won they got nothing, but whenever I won, they'd give me 50p, I used to leave the pub about a tenner up, haha. I've been trying to find this game for ages, could never find it anywhere, never thought to look on Amazon! So happy I've found it again.

.Elefun - Motorised Butterfly Catching Game
City Travel Guides > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Hasbro


Like all those games you wanted when you were a kid and saw the cartoon on tele, then then box was great and it was so exciting,until you played it.When you realised that it was just a load of cheap plastic and paper.
Its disappointing, the butterflies are bits of twisted wax paper which got wet or lost, it makes an unpleasant noise and its all over in less than a minute. In fact I've just thrown it out.

.Monopoly Here & Now:The World Edition
City Travel Guides > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Hasbro


This is a great toy. We have only played it twice but we had a great time. It is a little over priced but the credit card helps the game along a lot quicker than the origional version. The credit card makes it easier to pack away also which helps as th ere isn't lots of money floating around.

Very good buy, would recomend especially if you enjoyed the origional version.

.Uno Card Game
City Travel Guides > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Mattel


This was very easy to learn, although we did have to refer to the instructions a few times during the first few games as we were unsure about how to play the action cards.

It is quite an addictive games, especially as just as you think you are about to win, along comes a "pick up 4 cards" card...but fun rather than frustrating as it did not go on and on as some games like this can. I would recommend this for any journey or family afternoon together as I am sure my 7 and 4 year old could play with help.

An old favourite, re-bought for my young niece who spent more time playing this game than certain games consoles she has.

I find the naivety of the "I lost because I rolled a 4..." comment startling.

I loved this game as a child and played it often, I now have children of my own and we play it. In all the hundreds of games I have played over the years only a very small percentage was bad luck the deciding factor in the game and I cannot think of a single game when a game was won because of good-luck. There is an element of chance in the game but there is far and away more skill and strategy than chance.

Any player that is out because he rolled a 4 rather than a 5 had probably lost the game a long time ago and that was just the killing blow. Perhaps he had overstretched and was caught out or perhaps another player had risked his fortune by ... Read More:
