Parker Brothers Reviews

My wife and I compete fiercely. We slightly modify the rules. For example,we allow two turns of the timer per board, allowing us more time to develop words. We say that the game is over after three boards; then we start a new game. This keeps it interesting if someone falls decisively behind. We also give two bonus points (13 in total) if someone develops a nine-letter word. (Play the game, see how difficult THAT is, then you'll see why we think it deserves a bonus.)

I am fortunate to have found a VERY old Big Boggle game in my mother's basement. This game is good, but the BEST game is Master Boggle. I cannot find it anywhere, but my father has it. The mix of letters allows you to develop really cool, exotic words. Last week, I spelled "gestalt."

There are six different playable characters. No character can do something others can't the only differnce in them is there starting locations and there actual names. Your goal is to navigate the mansion finding out clues as to who committed the murder. You have to guess who did it, where the murder was done, and what was is done with. You go by trial and error throughout the house until you gather enough clues to guess it right.

The game itself is pretty durable. You have six token pieces, a six sided die, cards, a standard board, and paper sheets for you clue book. Unless something gets wet you should be set.

The game is educational because it makes you think. You have to keep track of your clues that you collect. You can also pick up other clues by paying attention to other peoples clues and who is proving them wrong. You can be quite savvy in the game and this part is quite educational and fun.

Clue is a classic game. People have been playing it for over 50 years. It's the classic game of who did it and it's a fun mystery. No game is ever the same and that makes it even more fun. No kid or adult should ever go there life without playing this game. So go get Clue and find out who did it.

Where else can you find such a great source of entertainment that provides real fun as well as an education in deductive reasoning?

CLUE offers a solid alternative to a boring night watching TV. And it certainly encourages family discussions as you play it. Now, that's something television doesn't offer!

Our kids are all grown up now, but we still get together frequently over the dining room table to have another CLUE evening.

The only criticism I have of the game is that the pads of detective notes are very hard to replace. I recently went into one local games store and was told they had been trying for two years to get a supply of the CLUE detective notes. Many customers had been apparently asking for them.

My solution was to simply create my own detective notes form on our home computer, using a graphics program.

Seems like we could have a supply-and-demand opportunity here.

Anyone listening out there in Parker Brothers land?

This is a board game that parents and children can play together...and both have fun.

What's in the game? The game board is filled with different rooms (kitchen, library, billard room etc) and spaces that lead you to the rooms..there are also two seceret passages. You have game pieces (all different colours) which represent the people ...who are all suspected of killing Mr. Boddy...was it Colonel Musterd? Mrs. Scarlett? or perhaps Mr. Green. To add, you have different weapons that could have led to Mr. Boddy's demise...the rope, revolver, candlestic etc.

All game players are given equil amounts of cards...each card has a person, weapon or a room on it. 3 cards (one room one weapon one person) are hidden in an envelope that cannot be opened until a player has decided he/she knows the answer. The player then looks at their cards and crosses off that person, room or weapon on his recording sheet...the player then can wonder about the other rooms etc

The players start rolling the dice, going into rooms and making accusations....

If you like detective work, try to find Mr. Boddy's killer!

You'll have fun!

My hands shaking, I put the toy down.

In my opinion, the education value of Risk is minimal because the gameplay is very abstract and the geegraphical regions are not named very accurately.

If you're looking for a simple introduction to wargaming, I invite you over to my home in Lincoln Nebraska for a game... maybe you'll like it so much, you'll want more...

Keep in mind that, even without the wargaming aspect of this game, it is fun, exciting, and more than a little frustrating to play.. but well worthwhile the time it takes to (as we try everyday) TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Anyway,I've only finished this game twice. Once was in 1998 and me and my brother stayed up until five AM playing it--so we were essentially playing it around four hours.

If it's a rainy day with nothing to do and you have older children, it's okay. But otherwise, it's really to long to even bother with.

The object of the game is too buy, sell, loan and collect different properties at different amounts of money. Who can forget those classic sayings "Go to GO....Collect $200 as you pass" or "Go to Jail"? I have enjoyed the game since I was about 9/10 years old and I still love to play it today. Each property has its own color group (Purple, Baby Blue, Fushia, Yellow, etc) which has it's own different price (With "Mediterainian Ave" being the cheapest and "Boardwalk" being the most expensive) Lets not forget the "Railroads" or "Utilities"!!

The "Banker" has the most important job of all. He/She must hand out money and collect money owed when a property is bought. The banker must also be sure to give and collect the right amounts from the players (This is were the Addition, Subtraction, Muliplication and Division skills come in handy!) This game can be a great help to people who need to improve or learn about new math skills!

The person with the most money at the end of the game (Usually when someone goes bankrupt or when 8 hours of playing finally bores the heck out of you!!) wins and the person with the less loses. All in all, this game is really fun to keep you company or to entertain your freinds when they come for a visit! A must-have for any board game lover!

I recommend anybody to get Sorry! It's a game that any family can have a lot of fun playing together and it can teach kids some lessons in strategy and how to lose without getting mad.
