Cranium Cariboo Review

Cranium Cariboo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We got this game for our 4 year old daughter, but the whole family loves to play it, even our 2 year old. It's a pretty durable toy. I would say that the only "issue" is that you can cheat by peeking in the holes to see where the balls are, but that's not really a big deal. The kids just love winning and getting the big jewel in the treasure chest. I would recommend it to anyone. It's good for color identification (for the little ones) and letter identification for the older kids.

This game is silliness unleashed, but offers a marvelous benefit: learning body parts and increasing motor awareness.
It's fun for mom, too, to watch her kids contorted in all kinds of silly positions as they work to hold on to their colored balls.
My kids love it. We'll reach for it often on gloomy days where energy needs to be burned indoors!

Hungry Hungry Hippos Review

Hungry Hungry Hippos
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This toy is not worth the money! I remember playing this game with one of my brothers when I was little, and we always had a good time. I was hoping to replicate the experience for my children; unfortunately, this game has been brought back in a junky, poor quality version. The hippos have to be removed from the game board with their necks extended and locked into place in order to put the game away in the box. My kids (6&4) have a hard time putting it together or putting it away by themselves (huge minus in my book!). The hippos sometimes become detached from the game during play. Their necks *frequently* get stuck in the extended position, necessitating stopping the game so that it can get fixed. The marbles are cheap, hollow plastic rather than the heavier marbles I remember from my childhood. The stickers don't stay on the hippos very well, so none of our hippos have eyes anymore. Even the box itself is incredibly flimsy if you hope to use it as a storage box for the game. Don't waste your money! Our game is sitting in the donation bin waiting to be taken to charity!

Down by the river in a shady grove, live the Hungry Hungry Hippos. There's HoneyPotamus (who loves anything sweet), VeggiePotamus (who loves all things green), PickyPotamus (who's very, very picky), and his big brother BottomlessPotamus (who isn't picky at all!).Come on down to the riverbank and join the Hungry Hungry Hippos for a gobblin' good time. The player whose hippo munches the most wins! This heritage game with its frenetic, colorful gameplay is a recognizable favorite that always leaves kids hungry for more!

Hungry Hungry Hippos Review

Hungry Hungry Hippos
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Why is it that companies who decide to reissue classic games from the 50's, 60's and 70's seemingly ALWAYS do so using the cheapest of plastics? Gone are the days of thick precisely engineered plastics, strong metal supporting parts and ready-to-play-out-of-the-box sturdy construction. Instead, we get cheap inferior versions (Spirograph) and flimsy "assembly required" thin plastic versions that don't work properly (Hungry Hippos, Hands Down). C'mon folks, we're talking PLASTIC here...the stuff is plentiful and inexpensive: spend an extra 5 cents on the manufacturing end and give me a better product.
My beef with this toy is that it appears no one at the manufacturer bothered to play-test it. The lightweight plastic pellets go flying everywhere (you can't call 'em marbles anymore), the hippos get stuck or they fall off during play, and you can count on a plastic piece eventually breaking off or cracking, leaving you with crying children and extremely disappointed adults. (However, there IS satisfaction to be had after it breaks...go outside, place it in the driveway and stomp on it until it's reduced to nothing more than itty-bitty colored plastic pieces. Great for getting out the aggression this crappy toy provokes!)
Forget this rubbish, you're better off getting an original. Thank goodness for eBay, second-hand stores, and flea markets. Happy hunting!

Cat in the Hat I Can Do That Game Review

Cat in the Hat I Can Do That Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hi everyone,
My name is Jacobe Chrisman and I own the company, I Can Do That! games, which makes and sells this Cat in the Hat game. First, I want to thank everyone for all the amazing reviews you've given us. I also wanted to let you know that we've heard your feedback and agree that the construction of the foam bar or Trick-a-ma-stick in the game could be better. Consequently, we designed a new foam bar which is one single piece that forms an arch instead of a square. This new single-piece foam bar makes it incredibly easy to setup and, most importantly, does not come apart during game play. Don't worry, we tested this thoroughly. If you look at the current image of the game, you'll see that the foam bar is now a single-piece arch instead of a multi-piece square. This new design works perfectly with the game play as well.
I'm sorry that some of you have had troubles with the previous foam bar.
To fix this, I would love to replace those original foam bars with the new and improved design for FREE. Simply email games(at)icandothatgames(dot)com and we will promptly ship you a new foam bar at no charge. Please mention you read about this on Amazon.
For people buying this game right now, I should mention that this new single-piece foam bar is included in ALL of the games going forward.
I want to thank everyone for buying the game and of course, providing invaluable feedback on our games. This game has won over 12 major awards from Parents Choice, Oppenheim, Dr. Toy, National Parenting Center and many more award programs. We're extremely proud of our game and work tirelessly to ensure the kids and parents who play this and all of our games love them as much as we do. I hope this new design helps you have the ideal play experience you deserve.
thanks everyone, Jacobe

Ker Plunk Game Review

Ker Plunk Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I got Kerplunk home and opened the box, I was dumbfounded. The game was this little plastic thing made from cheap materials. As a kid, we had Kerplunk and it was much taller and wider. It was made of a heavier plastic, too. You could be extra careful when you removed the straws because the whole thing was solid and wouldn't budge. The new one is so little, you have to hold it with one hand while you pull the straw, making it difficult to move carefully. I think this is the same type of problem parents are having with retro games. The toy manufacturers know the parent will say, "I had this game when I was a kid, so I'll buy it for my kid!" Unfortunately, the new versions are smaller, cheaper and more fragile. If the original version of a game is what is desired, then a parent will have to buy an old game from Ebay. This is actually a cool game, just not the new version.

Toy Story Ker Plunk Game Review

Toy Story Ker Plunk Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a cute, simple game. Players pull the sticks out of the rocket shaped game trying to not let the space aliens fall through and out the bottom. The game actually takes longer to set up than to play. The aliens fall out easily. The game can be amusing for a while but only the youngest children will stay entertained for more than a few plays at a time.

An Alien rocket ship has landed! It's your job to see that none of the Aliens inside fall out of the ship and and go Ker Plunk! Roll the die and see what color appears. Next, carefully pull out a stick that matches the color on the die. If any Aliens drop, you must keep them. When all of the Aliens have dropped from the rocket, the player with the least amount of Aliens wins!

Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Clicker Crab Toss & Grip Review

Melissa and Doug Sunny Patch Clicker Crab Toss and Grip
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The manufacturer stated this toy was appropriate for 3+ years of age, so I bought it for my 3 year old. It holds up to the cuteness and durability that we all know and love in the Melissa and Doug name. However, the surface area for catching is not very large. I have a difficult time catching the ball with it, you can imagine a 3 year old's frustration! Definitely for a little older child!!
