I purchased this for my son for his second Christmas. While a little young, I already knew going into this what I was going to get. He tends to lean on the walls, knocking over the piece, and the air mattress included only aids this. Remove the air mattress beneath, and the structure becomes a bit more stable. Generally, he seems to like it, tossing the balls when he isn't trying to share them with Mommy. There is even a hanging "obstacle course" to toss balls through and drop down that he really enjoys. Setup wasn't too bad. Only 15 minutes, and most of that was reading over the relatively simple instructions and pumping the air mattress which we ended up deflating. My only real disappointment is the size of the balls. The picture makes 50 balls look like a good deal. Then again, he doesn't know what a real ball pit looks like, and it saves me the headache of chasing some 500+ balls across the living room when he shoves them through the ducky game. Overall, the good outweighs the mediocre. A definite recommendation for younger kids. Just be prepared to buy more balls to fill out the fun for slightly older kids.

Bought this for my 4 year old son and found that his 7 year old brother and Aunt really enjoyed spending time playing this game. Game can be put in the DVD player and the kids can play it without help. Alternate play can be sped thru and played quickly when adults are playing along.
Snipits of video are sprinkled throughout the DVD and any fan of Thomas will enjoy the play. Cards are well made and there are lots of marker disks (keep them together with a ziploc bag). No extra pieces so very happy with construction.

Around the World in 80 Days Review

Around the World in 80 Days
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We just bought this from a local toystore and have played it three times in the first 24 hours of owning it! We homeschool, so we are always looking for fun ways to expand our knowledge. The first time we played it, it took 2 hours rather than the 30-60 estimated. There were four of us playing; the larger the group, the longer each round is. I'm sure we have missed a few of the fine points, but we had a lot of fun. Our 7 1/2 year old played right along with the rest of us, but needed some help to read the event cards. Don't miss the detail that you can buy discarded travel cards and event cards for 2 gold pieces.
I recommend this game for families who are interested in geography. It is worth the price. When you are tired of it or your kids outgrow it, donate it to a school, church, or homeless shelter. I'm sure they will enjoy it too. We are all citizens of the world.

Monopoly Game Collector's Edition Embossed Tin Review

Monopoly Game Collector's Edition Embossed Tin
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I collect monopoly games and I must say that the Collector's Tin Series Collection are the classiest of all; second only to the Franklin Mint's version. And that one is around $600.00.
Each board is numbered and Limited. It is beautifully designed with a superb classic look. The art on the money, chance and community chest cards is AWESOME!!. Not even the Simpson's version rivals this. The Hotels and Houses are made of wood, plus the hotels have written on them Grand Hotel in gold. It comes with a tray that fits everything including money and title deeds. The board folds in four but is strong. So that should not be a problem.
My only problem with this game is that the tin can will eventually rust. Other than that it is a great version.
There are two Tin variations that I know of; The Train and the Race Car. Both are equally great. The difference would be the shape of the can and small art details.
As I said before these games are numbered and Limited. So my advice to you is to get a hand on this while you can. But have in mind this is for display only. If you want a nice looking Monopoly to play with you may either buy two or try the Deluxe version which is very nice.

I bought the game at kmart for $8 and for that price it is a really fun game for my two year old son. The case is disappointing as it doesn't have a latch to keep the cover on if it tipped over. I was shocked to see it so expensive here. I thought eight was a bit steep when I got it, but is a good game for my son who is a Thomas fan to learn colors, numbers, and the overall game.

Imaginarium Motorized Deluxe Marble Race Review

Imaginarium Motorized Deluxe Marble Race
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Some random observations about this product that may help you make your decision:
On the positive side, once it's set up, it's loads of fun with seemingly infinate replay / rebuild value. The kids (and their Dad) are mesmirized by the marbles tumbling through the nicely varied chutes. My 7-year-old can effectively build her own towers, one of which turned out to be taller than my six-feet. (She had to stand on the coffee table to complete it and get the balls rolling.) Little friends that have come over have all expressed excitement and had fun putting their own marble runs together. There are enough pieces for 2 separate but adequately sized towers to be built simultaneously. This set is much easier to assemble and far more steady than any wooden set I've ever encountered. It's one of the most played-with toys from this Christmas, and that includes a new electronic gaming system.
But, I also have a few gripes for the manufacturer.
1) Initial set-up is a royal pain, especially when you've got an anxious child sitting at your elbow, eager to play. Each of the chain links need snapping together (the process hurt the little lady's fingers), and the instructions are paltry at best. (We did better following the picture on the front of the box.)
2) The motors for the lift system broke within the first 10 minutes of use. Though we didn't "abuse" them, per se, my daughter did hold up the chain mechanism while attempting to dislodge a stuck marble, and instantly it started running in a jerky fashion, then quit altogether. The lifts can still be turned manually, but it takes all the "cool" out of it. Way too wimpy for a childrens toy.
3) Inexplicably, some of the pieces are of different lengths (about 1/2" shorter than the rest), making towers crooked and wobbly. We haven't figured out a way to utilize them effectively, so by and large, we just leave those pieces out of play. Silly, and it seems like a waste of box space.
In spite of the shortcomings, we still have a lot of fun with this set. Ours just now happens to be powered by gravity only. If you intend to buy a marble run (which I'd highly recommend for the logic building/educational/FUN value), you may want to bypass the motorized version and get something like Marble Race Deluxe or Quercetti Super Marble Run Vortis, 224 Pieces.

Railways Of The World: The Card Game Review

Railways Of The World: The Card Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Railways of the World: The Card Game adapts the popular Railways of the World train game as a card game, so that players build railroad routes, upgrade engines, and deliver goods using track cards and city cards. It essentially takes the set-collection mechanic familiar from Ticket to Ride, and gives it a new twist by adding pickup-and-deliver elements from the Railways of the World series.
The card game comes with two sets of rules: a simplified family version (which eliminates cube delivery altogether, and limits point scoring to laying track and controlled cities), and a more advanced version for people already familiar with the Railways of the World series.
While it shares some mechanics with Railways of the World, incorporating some Ticket to Ride-like set-collection elements gives it a very different feel, and results in a much lighter and more tactical card game that can be played in well under an hour. It's a satisfying filler that offers more substance than most, and will appeal to fans of Railways of the World looking for a much more casual and quicker experience, or to people who like some luck-of-the-draw and enjoy the social and set-collecting experience of games like Ticket to Ride. It's a package that uses cards in new and creative ways, and yet has enough decision making packed into a relatively short playing time frame. An excellent game! - [...]

Disney Magic Kingdom Game Review

Disney Magic Kingdom Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Santa brought this game for our 5, 7 and 8 year old kids. It didn't interest my 5 year old too much, the others like it. Basically, you are dealt 5 "attractions" cards and you roll the dice to move your piece through the Magic Kingdom to see your 5 attractions and leave before anyone else.
The directions included are a little confusing and it does take a few minutes to set up, but the main problem I see with it is the spaces to move your piece on are very small -- and some of them are very close together which makes it hard for the kids to move along the playing board easily. I do think that this game would be more fun and interesting if a recent trip to Disney World is fresh in your mind. I think if a child had never been to Disney World, they probably wouldn't be as excited with this game which relies heavily on real Disney attractions.
Overall fun, a very busy, crowded playing board but recommended for the family that has been to Magic Kindgom

Visit the Magic Kingdom in your own living room! Maybe you'll get to ride Space Mountain or sail along with the Pirates of the Caribbean! Why not take a trip through Mickey's Country House or a tour of Sleeping Beauty's Castle? With luck you may get an autograph from Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck on the way! Be careful of your opponents -- they may be able to set you back or send you on a wild goose chase around the park. The first player to visit their attractions and make it back to the park entrance wins the game!

We have a lot of fun playing it. It requires mental alertness and close attention to the board and what is going on. If you sleep at the game, forget it. When you are alert, you are rewarded. Of course, there is always a portion of luck involved - the draw of the dominoes, the play of the other players, etc.

Mille Bornes Collectors Edition Review

Mille Bornes Collectors Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What can be said about Mille Bornes? If you've played it before, you know how much fun it is. If you've NEVER played it, you must try it...you're in for a treat! Mille Bornes (which, by the way, correctly translates to "thousand milestones") is a simple game: be the first player to drive a total of 1000 kilometers on an imaginary road trip. Sounds easy enough, until your opponent starts hammering you with hazards such as flat tires, speed limits, and accidents! Add to this a few safety cards that can be played at any time to thwart potential hazards and the action can get fast and furious. Truly a fun game for everyone. Knowledge of the metric system (kilometers) is not required, and this is a fun way to get young kids to learn addition of large numbers above 20. Learning how to play will take about 10 minutes.
This collector's edition contains cards with the original 60's artwork (so cool) and has a car-shaped card tray. This great game was out-of-print for several years. I'm glad to see someone is making it again. Grab yourself a copy while you can.

Features oversized cards with original 1962 artwork. Play with 2,3,4 or 6 of your friends.

Thomas and Friends All Aboard Card Game Review

Thomas and Friends All Aboard Card Game
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are cute, and thick, totally sturdy to put up with the abuse from this age of kids. However, their shape makes them impossible to shuffle. You know how if you are shuffling regular rectangular playing cards and one of them has the smallest tear in the side, it's hard to smush them together and straighten them out after shuffling? These would be just as cute and more fun to play with if they were rectangular.
Also, they lose a star in the educational value section because the color of the character on the card does not match the color of the card. For example, the GREEN card has a RED Bertie the bus. It's not that big a deal, and my kids (4 yrs and almost 3 yrs) didn't have trouble getting confused as we played Go Fish (by colors), but last year we got some Lightning McQueen cards with this same problem (a green 4 with 1 red McQueen car on it), and it totally confused them.
The package is thick plastic, so very durable too.
