By big bluffer (edmonds, wa, usa)
The game is not a new one, but almost as classic as Monopoly. It's a great party game that tends to get even more interesting as the night goes on, especially if there are a few drinks involved. Although the younger set may not enjoy it being more familiar with video games, it does have a good subliminal educational attribute without players being aware that the actual answers to the bluffs they write will stick in their minds for a long time.

Great game - lots of fun, spurs creativity and encourages thinking! Even our teenage grandchildren love this game.

 "Great for what it is: a party game" 2009-11-07
By Christopher K. Halbower (Muskegon, MI)
Balderdash is probably the best game in its genre: light, party game. Balderdash was created by veteran game designers Laura Robinson ("Identity Crisis") and Paul Toyne ("Beyond Balderdash") and is published by the ubiquitious Parker Brothers Games.



In Balderdash, players are read a word, a person's name or a movie title. Players then secretly write down a false answer depending on what was read. If a word is the topic, players make up false definitions; if a person's name is selected, players make up a false "claim-to-fame"; if a movie title is chosen, players make up a false synopsis. The false answers are collected by the player whose turn it currently is. That player reads the false answers along with the correct answer. Players, in turn order, attempt to guess which answer is correct. If you guess correctly, you score points. If you guess someone else's false answer, they score points.



Balderdash is a great game of creativity and bluffing. It can really get the creative juices flowing. For what it is (a light party game), I give it 5*****. If you are looking for a serious strategy game, you will have to look elsewhere.

A novel game system lets players choose the order of the phases in each turn by allowing each player to choose a role from those remaining when it is their turn.

 "Great Game" 2009-12-16
By L. K. Shull (Huntsville, AL)
We entered the world of "Eurogames" years ago with Settlers of Catan and have been branching out! Puerto Rico is a great game--easy to learn, enjoyable gameplay, excellent replay value.

 "Great interactive strategy game" 2009-12-04
By James M. Cook (Chicagoland, IL USA)
Peurto Rico provides a high level of interactive game play between players while maintaining great strategy needs without the use of dice. As the number of players and their experience levels vary between games, a strategy that worked in one game may not be as effective. This helps to provide a great adaptive/replay effect to Puerto Rico. I am very impressed with Puerto Rico and am looking forward to checking out other games by Rio Grande Games.

 "Great Strategy Game" 2009-11-09
By smv135 (Atlanta, GA)
My husband and I love playing this game with friends. It is a complex strategy game that constantly keeps you thinking. Highly recommended; however, you may want to start with less complex games such as Settlers of Catan to get your feet wet.

 "Great Game" 2009-10-11
By J. Assad
You need to have some time and a few people who are patient enough to digest the rules but this is a rewarding game for those who do.

 "Excellent board game!" 2009-10-01
By A. M. Schiermeyer (Redmond, WA USA)
Excellent game for 2 as well as 4. The game itself should have come with better storing materials; lots of little pieces and no individual ways of storing them. A challenging and thought provoking game with many options for variations.

My grandson was thrilled.

 "Great Gift From an Aunt!" 2009-09-20
By T. Pyle (Alexandria, VA)
My nephews love all of the lego products and they offer hours and hours of enjoyment. They are easy to construct with the occassional help from an adult but well worth it! They ask for LEGO gifts all the time.

 "Temple of Doom" 2009-04-18
By Thea Stallings (Georgia)
This was a great set. My grandson (7) was able to follow the instructions and put it together. The action portions worked very well and consistently. He really enjoys this and was very impressed with himself when he saw what he had accomplished. He also enjoys using it when telling stories because of the movement involved. A great product.

 "Fun to put together" 2009-04-15

Item was fun to put together. My older son of 7 helped and could follow the directions. The two boys played with it for about a week. Now it is in the lego bucket.

 "It's a terrible toy" 2009-11-12
By W. Wang (Thousand Oaks, California)
My son got this as his birthday gift this August. After put 10+ ants into the container, the next morning they were all gone. And it because the cover does seal completely. I tried it myself and watched the ants easily came out of the container. Now three months later, our house has the ant party everyday!! Terrible toy! so far I spent several times more money than what the toy costed.

 "Cool, but needs adult set up help" 2009-10-19
By C. Gonzalez (Boston, MA)
Cool, but needs adult set up help. If it's not done correctly the product will not be as cool. And you can't fix it or start over again.

 "Awesome!" 2009-10-08
By D. Mattera
It is so cool! Definitely worth the money for anyone of any age... you can stare at it for hours.. I ordered ants about 6 days after I bought it so I would get them about the same time. I suggest you get it from another company. [...] It's only 4.95 no shipping. Don't put them in the freezer! haha

 "Ant Farm a Hit!" 2009-09-25
By J. Adams
I bought this ant farm for my nephew on his 4th birthday. He loved getting the ants in the mail and, after putting them in, they immediately started tunneling. He enjoys using the magnifying glass to observe the ants as they work. Very cool and educational gift!

 "Re-usability !" 2009-09-06
By Ed James
This is a fascinating product and my two young kids loved watching the tunnels grow and grow. The only caveat is that you get 2-3 months of enjoyment and that is it. I had high hopes that it could be re-used, but that is not really the case. After all the original ants have died, you must clean them out and some of the gel is lost as well. You are then left with a complete tunnel system. You CAN put new ants in, but they re-use existing tunnels, and it was watching the tunnel construction that captured the attention of the kids.



This product is very well built and the idea so clever that it is a shame there isn't a way to get more than 2-3 months of entertainment and learning.

 "Tests Your Skills" 2009-11-23
By Carla Douglas (Denver, IA)
This is a fairly old game and I had a hard time finding it. I'm glad I did because it is challenging. I have only played the classic version, but there are different versions included in this game of Racko.

 "Great game" 2009-10-31

We bought this game for our kids and now my grandkids play it so we bought them a game for their home. We couldn't find the game anywhere so we went to amazon.com and we had several choices. It's a nice game for all ages.

 "Rack-O Card Game" 2009-09-11
By Fran Behnke (Taylorsville, Utah, USA)
Years ago we had a Rack-O card game and the cards were about worn out, so I wanted to replace the cards. Ordered this game and at once noticed that there has been a slight difference in how the game is played. I didn't know if I liked it at first, but came to like it even better as it is a bit more challenging for the players, although the basic outcome of the game remains the same - to put the numbers 1 through 60 in chronological order. We have gotten our friends hooked on it and they bought a game for their family. It is fast and easy to whip out for a quick game - doesn't take a lot of skill or knowledge to play - just basic knowledge of putting numbers in order.

 "Fun for the whole family!" 2009-09-09
By Dancing Star (Grand Rapids, MI)
Racko is a great game! I remembered playing this as a kid and had originally bought it for myself at a store in my hometown. After I purchased it, I then purchased it for my mom who loves playing it as well. My nephews (age 8) then played the game with my mom, loved it and requested it for their birthday so they could add it to game night with their family. This is a fun game that appeals to both adults and children. Great for kids as you learn the order of numbers. The new updated version (compared to when I had owned it as a kid) has a new twist - with green cards that add some fun challenging options (like trading cards with others or switching cards in your rack). I would recommend this game to anyone!

 "One of my son's favorite toys" 2009-12-08
By SWS
This is an almost perfect toy. I bought this for my son who loved letters and numbers but was a little resistant when we tried to show him how to write them himself. He went a few days without much interest in it and then a couple of weeks where he'd make us draw out the letters and shapes and such. He hasn't put it down since. He has a ton of fun with it and being cheap and portable, it often goes with us in the car and other places. My only slight complaint with it is that it doesn't teach how to draw numbers. Not sure why they left that out but hey, this toy is still 5 stars across the board.

 "The kids like it a lot but..." 2009-12-05
By 2isjustright (Temecula, cA)
I got this because my son is terrible at his letters. He's only 4, but he is still a little behind the curve. When we first got it, he was excited and we practiced his letters. Then he started to use it like it was a Magna Doodle and didn't bother trying to use the letters. If I do try to get him to do the letters he gets bored really easily and runs away from me. :(



I was slightly disappointed at the actual part where you practice writing. I thought that the pen was somewhat electrical and would tell your kid if he was doing it correctly, but it's just a screen that sticks to the bottom and you wipe it away (like a magna doodle) when you are done. It is visible, but seems rather cheesy.



I still like this, and will continue to try to get my son to practice more.

 "What is going on with the Amazon price for this?" 2009-12-02
By Jims mom in Bham (Birmingham, AL)
I first saw the Leapfrog Scribble and Write and the Text and Learn on Amazon. However, I am glad I decided to shop around before purchasing through Amazon. The Amazon price is $42 for the Scribble and Write. It is $16.99 on the Leapfrog site and $19.99 on Walmart.com and in their stores. The Text and Learn is also significantly lower at both sites than on Amazon. Why are Amazon's prices so high? I am very disappointed because I love shopping on Amazon.

 "Brought it for my son's Kindergarten class she teacher LOVED it" 2009-12-02
By D. Cole (Charleston SC)
I originally bought this for my 2 year old daughter. She is not quite ready for it. However my 4.5 and almost 6 year old started to play with it and LOVE it. In fact I bought two more for them.



It actually teaches the child how to hold the pen correctly. It also teaches the child both the proper way to write both uppercase and lower case letters. For the younger children it teaches how to draw simple and more complex shapes. I like that it is small and portable, perfect travel. It is not loud or obnoxious. The scribble and write also teaches letter recognition. My son would want the other kids to know that it glows in the dark.



I had my son bring the Scribble and Write to his Kindergarten class. The teacher as SO impressed by it,she said she was going to buy the class one as well.



Every time I go to the store and see the Scribble and Write, I recommend it to the other parents in the store. HIGHLY recommended. Good job Leap Frog again!!!

 "Even my one-year-old loves this thing!" 2009-11-25

This toy was a gift for my 3-year-old... and he absolutely loves it, and is already starting to learn how to write his letters! My one-year-old really enjoys it too, and it is very durable so I don't mind her playing with it! Thanks again, LeapFrog, for another wonderful learning toy!
