Herd Your Horses Board Game

Herd Your Horses Board Game Review: My daughter is a horse fanatic. Was going to buy Horseopoly for my daughter but then I read other customers reviews of this game. Everyone seemed to love it! We love it too! It is simple to learn and there are 3 different versions to play of the game and 2 solitare games. We never tire of this game!

Herd Your Horses Board Game Review: I played this with my 8 year old granddaughter and I know we will have years of playing this. The information on the many varieties of mustangs and ranch horses is priceless.

PlayTV Skateboarding

PlayTV Skateboarding Review: This product was for my older son, but it turns out the 8 yr. old liked it more, even though it was hard for him to maneuver. As stated in other reviews, the graphics are pretty bad the older kids aren’t going for it. One other thing to get to another course, you first have to conquer the first course, which gets very boring. It would be more fun if you could use all the courses, whenever you wanted to. It is well made and even held my husband who is about 160 lbs.

PlayTV Skateboarding Review: This was a Christmas gift for my son. He seems to enjoy the game but sometimes becomes frustrated when he doesn’t advance the levels as quickly as he would like but that is typical behavior for him. I do not regret the purchase and feel that I received like value for the amount paid.

20Q Sports

20Q Sports Review: I had a difficult time finding this item in the stores even though they advertised it. I was able to get it through Amazon, however. The game is wrong about 50% of the time and I think the company was quick to get these manufactured for the holidays and has not worked out all of the kinks yet.

20Q Sports Review: The 20Q Sports is not as thorough as the original 20Q. It makes a lot more errors. For example, when you answer that the item is not a person, one of the questions it asks is whether it is black. In the case of a baseball, when you enter “no”, it still asks if the item is…and it proceeds to name an African American sports person.

Triology Game

Triology Game Review: Triology is a neat game based on making sets of cards. I have played the SET Game for years and really like the challenging way Triology uses that idea. A SET is any three cards that are alike or completely different in each one of their features. In Triology you make SETS and put them down for points when it is your turn.

You get to make the SETS from the cards in your hand, plus the ones you draw or from any number of the discarded cards on the table. It is a real challenge. I especially like playing the advanced level where you can ’steal’ SETS from other players if you recombine their SET into 2 or 3 SETS by using cards from your hand and the cards in their SET. Really cool. Pretty deep. I love it.

EA Sports Plug and Play TV Games

EA Sports Plug and Play TV Games Review: Considering the overall age of this game it is still quite entertaining. The graphics are acceptable and the replay device let’s you see what happened fairly well. Would have been nice to have a playbook or a function to see the diagrams larger and longer than in play calling mode. I play against the computer and allow the game to generate the action so I don’t have to use all the keypad responses. It takes a bit of time to get a grip on the strengths and weaknesses of teams from 1994-5 but the game is consistant when certain matchups are repeated. All in all it’s not too bad.

I picked this up at a closeout price (too good to mention) because I loved both of these games on the Sega Genisis. They still move just as fast, and the playability is still about the same. The graphics are pretty good remembering what the genisis was like, few details are harder to see. Also the names of the players are not there, but that is ok. This is a great combination. I just hope they put together a college football package, my alltime favorite EA game. Check this out, the price is dropping and you can’t go wrong. This travels with me to play when I’m on call. Excellent toy for all ages.

LCR Dice Game

LCR Dice Game Review: This is a fun party game that can be played with adults or children, or a mixture of both. My 8 year old thinks it is such fun. Add a little incentive to the game and play with coins or dollar bills instead of the chips.

LCR Dice Game Review: We purchased this game on a recommendation of a friend for a family reunion. We had so much fun. Everyone could play it from five to seventy five. We used bigger chips then the ones that came with the game as we needed more for such a large group.

Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide

Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide Review: I got this for my grandson’s birthday. He turned 8 and it took a while just to get the packaging off the game, but once we did the fun began. He and his mom played it, he played it alone, I played it alone and I suspect it will get played a lot more tonight when everyone gets home. Great game for most ages. If they can recognize colors and follow the verbal directions, then they can play this game.

Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide Review: My 7 year old son got this for Christmas this year and my husband and I love it as much as he does. Not only have we played against each other but we enjoy playing it on our own, it is rather addictive. It is small and compact enough to fit in our luggage that we plan to take it with us to Maine for our family reunion this summer. This is the perfect game to have on hand for rainy days or for when the kids complain they are bored. You honestly can’t go wrong with this game, I plan to give this as birthday presents this year for all my son’s friends.

Bas-Ket Skill and Action Game

Bas-Ket Skill and Action Game Review: I played this game as a kid and was so excited to see it re-introduced! This game can be VERY addicting. It does require some skill to shoot the ball just right and there are tons of laughs to go around when the ball doesn’t roll where you want it to. Great game to play with the kids or other adults great way to play a lively interactive game that provides opportunity for real interaction with your opponent.

Bas-Ket Skill and Action Game Description: Bas-ket is the classic basketball game that’s been around for 50 years! Flipping the ball into the basket will entertain kids for hours. It’s true basketball excitement packed into a miniature court. For one or more players.

Playhut 3-in-1 Sports Arcade

Playhut 3-in-1 Sports Arcade Review: I thought this was a great toy for my two grandchildren who are 2-1/2 years old when they visit me. What a big disappointment. The balls never return to me they get stuck near the opening. When you throw them at the openings with the flap they never go through because the balls are to light and the flap stays in place. My granddchildren enjoyed climbing into it and just playing with the balls. I folded it up and returned it.

Playhut 3-in-1 Sports Arcade Review: This toy was fun while it lasted. It never stood up as nice as the picture shows it was always falling over and you had to prop it up against something. The kids liked it but my husband and I did not. They were always asking us to fix it! Wouldn’t recommend. We only had it for 9months and it was sent to the trash after it ripped.
