It is one they can play by themselves or with others. Ususally the older ones don't want to play the "little kid games" but this one they don't mind because it is fun for them. The game helps reinforce colors and shapes, but is mostly silly, and she loves that. I don't recommend many games, but this one I do.             Boom Blox63 reviews Nintendo Wii | Electronic Arts, 2008 This is really fun!!! This turns out to be a very challenging game. It can get very competitive when playing others, which makes it even more fun to play. This is fun for all ages. I am 62 and have a great time with it, and my grandson requested it for Christmas this year which made buying a gift for him very easy.             Electronic Battleship Advanced Mission48 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games A great old action toy brought up to date, and it's hands on fun I bought this so that I could hopefully enjoy my grand children when they visit and not have to watch them on the computer with their video games.

Battleship was one of my favorite games as a child. Now, my son is able to share in that experience. We just picked up the new Battleship game about a week ago, and he loves it! I also like the changes that have been made to the game. For instance, when I was a child, the game was fairly basic. By that I mean that the containers were plain and there weren't many graphics to give the game a ...             Spore3158 reviews Windows, Macintosh | Electronic Arts, 2008 My kids LOVE this game OK, so it was purchased as a present for my husband, but its actually my 6 and 8yo boys who adore this game. They play it almost daily, and even have friends come over to "watch". It definitely, to me, is great for younger kids, and I would ignore the 10+ rating. My 10yo daughter likes it too. I can understand the low marks this game received since it was marketed to adults but is really a ...             Blokus Classic302 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Blokus What a terrific learning tool.

I got this game as a fun family activity that helps teach my twin kindergartners about counting and a little math. It was very easy for them to learn and is fun for everyone to play. My husband has never played Monopoly; so this was a nice introduction for him too.             Hasbro The Game of Life152 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Really Great This game is really great. It teaches kids about life. So what is it's not very durable. Also some of you adults out there think it's not realistic. Well, news flash... ITS A GAME! My favorite job is the doctor. My only problem is the spinner. It's very hard to spin. But, if you can get over that, buy it!             The Settlers of Catan66 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 Great board game! Do you like a good board game that requires more thinking than luck? A little skill compared to random success? Then this is the game for you. We love playing Settlers and also have purchased the add ons of Seafarers and also Knights. The game requires some strategy and some planning in order to do well and win. Assessing proper location, stockpiling resources, placing the robber or pirate, ...             Monopoly Clone Wars1 review Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2008 An old favorite updated for a new generation We all grew up with Monopoly, but times have changed and kids like to look for characters the recognize now. Monopoly Clone Wars provides the same basic game, but with new figures (Clone Commander Rex, Asajj Ventress, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, General Grievous, and Ahsoka Tano) 28 new properties, also Sith and Ransom spaces instead of community chest and chance. There are some ...             Blokus Trigon30 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 When you're ready for a challenge... Trigon takes Blokus to a new level. When you get pretty good at the standard Blokus game, it's time to step-up to Trigon. My wife and I tend to like games that "take a minute to lean and a lifetime to master." That is what Blokus is all about. This game is very addictive and everyone we've played this with has said they intend to buy a copy for themselves!             Yahtzee35 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games You can't go wrong with YAHTZEE!

My Mom rec'd Crowns as a bday gift. I loved it so much that I bought it for myself!! The game's directions are simple but yet it takes strategy to win. It's great fun! Not your typical card game. We haven't gotten bored yet. The more the merrier! But my favorite aspect of Crowns is that just 2 people can play. So, when it's just me and my fiance, we can still enjoy the game! There aren't too many ...             No Stress Chess30 reviews Winning Moves Winning Moves, 2006 Combines a game of chance with one of skill Previous reviewers on Amazon US have generally given praise for this clever game, both an introduction to how its included pieces conventionally move and also, in a twist that even those who know how to play already may enjoy, giving this ancient game of skill a bit of chance.
