Winning the game requires negotiating with other players, assessing resource supply and demand, and mapping out a plan to get those last few victory points. Yet, players are still subject to the luck of the dice and rules that usually keep the game close until the very end. Settlers has huge replay value. The ...             Cinderella's Enchanted Slipper Game3 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games Nice step up from Candyland I bought this for my daughter (3yrs old) who has enjoyed simpler board games such as Candyland. This is her first dice-driven game where she has to count the spaces and meet objectives. She loves Cinderella, and there are enough opportunities to reverse your fortune in this game that it keeps the adults entertained as well. This game has broadened her game playing abilities and given her a new ...             USAopoly The Beatles Monopoly Game3 reviews USAopoly USAopoly It's fab! I just picked up this new Beatles edition of Monopoly, and I have to say I'm most impressed! Album cover visuals include selections from both the British & American catalogues. There's even Beatles-related song titles like "I'll Keep You Satisfied" & "Come And Get It" thrown into the mix. As well, any board game that features a "Free As A Bird" card gets my vote! Very nice.             SET Game158 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc. Great mind game This is an excellent thinking game. Finding patterns that are not obvious at first glance is great for encouraging problem solving skills. Besides being educational, this game is fun! I've been playing it since I was a kid and finally just bought my own set (no pun intended).             Uno Card Game41 reviews Mattel Mattel A classic game Uno is one of the most popular card games in the world, and it's easy to see why. The rules are simple, the play is always different, and there's an element of skill involved, which makes any game fun. The deck is made up of 4 different color suits, each of which has the numbers 0-9 and what I like to call "power cards". One of the power cards will reverse the order of play. Another will stop ...             Blokus Classic279 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 FUN FUN FUN A great game to play with kids and adults alike; my son received the larger game board as a gift. The game board was too large to make it challenging for two players. So I bought this one for myself to play with my son and my husband. We are all fans of the game!             Monopoly Here and Now World Hasbro Hasbro, 2008 The world has voted, and the numbers are in!

SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 Better than Scrabble! Get this game--agree on the house rules regarding use of dictionary--and HAVE FUN! Currently our favorite game.             Connect Four79 reviews Hasbro Hasbro A Good Classic Game My mother loved to play Connect Four with her grandchildren. It was a way for her to teach them from a young age to count four items; to sort two colors; to learn to look horizontally, vertically, and diagonally; and to win and lose politely. After she lost her ability to think fast and move her hands with dexterity, we could stimulate her by playing a game. We always had a good time with ...             Scrabble Crossword Game76 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Scrabble, One of the Best Games in Life Scrabble (Scrabble: Classic Edition) is an entertaining way both to stimulate young brains and to keep mature brains developing. This kind of play is beneficial. There is nothing wasteful about the time spent playing Scrabble. (Unless you are playing with someone who spends too long trying to think of a word.) There is some correction needed on the description of Scrabble. One is the age ...             Chutes and Ladders49 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Kids Love It Well, Chutes and Ladders wasn't my favorite game as a child but I certainly enjoyed playing it. I have the "Dora Edition." She's a character I never heard of before purchasing it, but every kid I showed it to knew Dora the Explorer. Yes, I agree with another reviewer, the pieces are not very durable. Neither is the board for that matter but you get what you pay for and this happens to be one of ...             Five Crowns95 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 What a fun game for all ages! I purchased this game because it sounded fun, but I didn't know that we would become addicted to it! We have played this game with a bunch of friends, family and even with the youth in our church and it is fun and entertaining for all ages! We love it! It is quick and easy to learn, yet challenging to play. Great family fun!             Taboo23 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Fun at School I am a teacher and I play this game with my writing lab classes before vacations. At first they complain but then they end up having a lot of fun. It helps them think of new ways to describe words without relying on obvious descriptions. They don't realize they're learning while they play. It only really works for smaller classes (8 to 10 students)             Trouble Board Game73 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Love Getting Into Trouble! I purchased this game when Hasbro had the rebates and made it an irresistible 4 dollars (on amazon)! We have quite a collection of Family Games for Family Night. This game is easily played by all, including our 5 year old. I guess it could help kids with counting, but as it only goes to six, not too much. But, what it does teach is patience and persistence. There is a tiny bit of skill involved ...             Disney Pictionary DVD Game10 reviews Mattel Mattel, 2007 Disney Pictionary DVD Game My 6 1/2 yr-old granddaughter loves Disney Pictionary DVD Game! She is a great artist (better than her grandmother) for the opt to draw, but she also loves to guess the drawings from the TV screen, which also offers hints. Lots of fun for young and old.             Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons14 reviews Mattel Mattel, 2007 Fun! Hilarious! Highly Recommend This is easily one of the best (if not THE best) new game of the last few years. it's easy to play, great for all ages, and the game can be modified a number of ways to make it more interesting! I've played this with a few people who doubted it could be any fun - and everyone who's played it has turned around the recommended this to their friends! Buy this game!             The Settlers of Catan 5-6 Player Extension7 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 Essential expansion to the 4-player game The 5-6 player expansion set of "The Settlers of Catan" includes the following items: 1) Additional land and ocean tiles that increase the size of the island of Catan from 19 land tiles in the 3-4 player game to 30 land tiles [surrounded by water tiles] for the 5-6 player version. 2) A complete set of 30 numbered discs that matches the new, larger island. 3) More cards of each type of ...             lcr dice game100 reviews KOPLOW KOPLOW Fun and Easy This is a great game for quick and easy entertainment.

This is a game that has been around for a lot of years that can get a good belly laugh from any age group young or old. This is a wonderful game to pull out on unsuspecting guests! Ha Ha HA!! It is even more hilarious to play after you have conned the reluctant player into participating.
