Now, this is what I can say from my own perspective: we have 2 pre-tween boys, one 5 yr. old girl, 2 dogs and about a dozen kids living in the neighborhood and showing up just about every day in the summer for the pool and the trampoline. ...             Chutes and Ladders Diego Edition Hasbro Hasbro, 2008 Sube, sube, sube! Climb to the top with Diego! Calling all Animal Rescuers! It's time to spin the spinner, climb those ladders, and race to get to the top! Choose your Animal Rescuer - Diego, Alicia, Baby Jaguar or Rescue Pack - to move along the gameboard. You'll meet many interesting animals along the way, but watch out for those chutes! Sliding down will set you behind! Al rescate, amigos! To the rescue, my friends!No reading required to ...             Rubik's Cube57 reviews Winning Moves Winning Moves Rubik's Cube The quality of the toy is very good. It movies smoothly w/o any problem. My son loves it. Great product!             Mousetrap95 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Mousetrap is GREAT! I just had to review Mousetrap because I saw that it only had an average of three stars. I bought this for my six year old boy who had seen it in his daycare where some of the pieces apparently were missing. He's very interested in marble-runs, particularly rube-goldberg type things that his dad shows him videos of on the internet. BUT, I hesitated because he is easily frustrated, and as a ...             Hungry Hungry Hippos138 reviews Hasbro Hasbro I Was Never That Hungry, Hungry My 3 year old daughter loves this game. It is a pain to take it apart to store it. It appears to be durable if taken care of and not abused. The "marbles" aren't real marbles, and I think real marbles would be easier to play with, but maybe these are safer somehow. It's getting alot of use, and makes my daughter happy, which makes me happy, so I would recommend buying it.             Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide35 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2007 Super fun - if you liked Bop it... Got for kids (pre teens/teens) and they love it. Concepts for memorizing and increasing speed are similar to bop it! game so if you liked that, this is a neat twist. You can't turn sound down or off - a little annoying if you are in same room not playing. Rubber band good for single play. Need smooth surface to play on.             Melissa and Doug See & Spell36 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 True learning fun My 2 1/2 year old loves this... "toy". I love that it comes with 8 different boards each with a front and back (so you get 16 spelling puzzles in all). My daughter even likes to simply sort the letters on the floor and tell me what each one is or what sound each makes. The possibilities are numerous.             Twister55 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Just a whole lot of laughs! 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. It is a great way for even the stiffest of the stiffs to learn to laugh at themselves in a healthy way that ...             Rubik's Cube Brain Teaser Puzzle with Helpful Hints108 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Rubiks Cube We received the cube in good condition. My only complaint was that the picture shown for the cube was like we had from years ago, It shows a photo of the cube in the middle with the Rubik name above it and the cube name below it. however, when we received it, it was the cube with the rubiks cube photo in the middle and the name of the cube written over the cube. In other words we ordered it based ...             Operation1 review Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2008 A classroom game I love operation. I played this game when I was a little girl. I wanted to get this game for my classroom so the children would have some games to play with. The only thing that was wrong with this is it was missing one of the pieces. I was unhappy about this, however, it didn't stop my children from playing with the game and having a great time with it.             SORRY! Sliders1 review Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2008 someone is always saying SORRY! AWESOME!!! I bought this game to advance my 2nd graders from the classic SORRY! game they have always loved. This version has added an exciting twist and skill to the board that keeps them interested and certainly in great competition. They love the excitement of how much their score can change throughout the game based on how pawns slide onto the game baord and bump into other pawns. The ...             USAopoly The Beatles Monopoly Game6 reviews USAopoly USAopoly so much fun! I was so excited to get this game! I couldn't wait to see all the pieces! I'm a huge Beatles fan and this game was just so interesting because of it. I learned a bit about their older, UK albums, and that was neat. I think I might impose a house rule (that would totally be biased toward myself) that in order to buy a "property" (aka album) the player would have to sing a bit of a song from ...             Hasbro Transformers Risk Game5 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games Cybertron belongs to me! If you're a fan of RISK and you're interested in a new variation of the game, then this version is for you. Like other themed RISK games there are new aspects to the game, like using leaders with attacking/defending advatages and a time limit to play, but this version also incorporates some unique aspects of the Transformers to make things really interesting. Of course, the Cybertronian leaders ...             SET Game168 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc. Set Card Game We first played this game with a group of seven, it took a few rounds to memorize all the rules, but we had a blast by the end. We also played with two people and it was also fun. You have to think and watch quickly!             Cinderella's Enchanted Slipper Game5 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games Perfect for Cinderalla fans This is an excellent all-around well made board game. I bought it for my daughter (4.5 years) when she had her tonsils out this spring. Even my 7 yo son enjoys playing it. I like to play it with my daughter as it is interesting and fun and doesn't take too long to complete. We all like to press the slipper to see it will become enchanted or if we will get "gonged" I highly recommend this game and ...             Scrabble Crossword Game79 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 ...             Quiddler166 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 Fun for Parties I received this at my last birthday party and we had 7 adults willing to try it out. Took a while to play, well over an hour, but it was a lot of fun for everyone I think. Not sure about all the rules... we collectively thought the "can only use dictionary when it is not your turn" made it too easy for folks to hog the help. It feels like a cross between Scrabble and cribbage.             Hasbro Candy Land Castle Game55 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2007 Great toy to teach colors and shapes Great game to teach colors, shapes and taking turns. I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 years old and she really enjoyed it. She learned colors and shapes and how to take turns which at 2 was a little hard at first. Now at 3 years of age she still loves this game.             The Settlers of Catan56 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 This game captures everyone's interest Settlers of Catan is fairly easy to pick up and start playing. The board changes arrangement every time you play, and there are several strategies that can be employed to win. This is a particularly good game for groups of 4. (Possibly more, with one of the expansion packs.)             Rubik's Revenge Cube 4 X 424 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2007 Rubik's Cube 4x4 My 12 year old son had mastered the standard 3x3 version long ago. His time at Summer Camp was coming to a close and I was concerned that he would spend his time glued to Guitar Hero, his Nintendo DS or the computer. I wanted something else to engage him. I purchased both the 4x4 and the 5x5 versions of the Rubik's cube. It is a month and a half later and he still is working at the 4x4. It ...              search for toys and games beatles, castle, chutes, cinderella, crossword, edition, electronic, enchanted, hasbro, helpful, hippos, hungry, ladders, melissa, monopoly, mousetrap, operation, planet, puzzle, quiddler, revenge, rubik, scrabble, settlers, sliders, slipper, teaser, transformers, twister, usaopoly toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
