University Games Reviews

I purchased this game a few years ago. My 7 year old daughter still loves this game and it has become a favorite game for my 5 year old son. The nice thing about this game is that there is no winner. The game play continues until all players have reached the finish.

We bought this game five years ago for our then 3 yr old son. Not only was it his favorite game, but it is now the favorite game of his little brother, who is four. In fact, he even plays it with his imaginary friend! The game is basically charades for kids who can't read yet. It's relatively non competitive. On each turn, a player spins the spinner, advances the number of spaces to a colored spot on the board, draws a card of the same color, then has to act out whatever picture is on the card (a bird, a flower...). It is great fun to play with your child-- hilarious what they come up with to "act out" on their turn. (Imagine a 3 yr old acting out a refrigerator!) Frequently we have to cheat and look at the card while they are acting, to make sure we can figure out what they are doing. Our whole family enjoys playing this with the little ones.

I bought this game for my then 3 year old for Christmas, based on recommendations here. When we first played it I thought it was very simplistic, but my daughter loved it and still does (she's now 4 1/2). The lack of complicated rules allow the kids to do what they do best.. act out! I would recommend stealing a glance at the cards they draw, however, since it's sometimes tough to figure out what they are pretending to be. My only complaint is that a couple of the cards have begun to peel, but that is probably due to overuse! Buy this game!!

My six year old loves this game, but it's too easy for adults. If I don't pretend I don't know the answer, then I will beat him every time. It's great for kids to play with each other.

This game is entertaining. Fun and challenging game. Keeps kids alert and working on clue giving skills.

My seven year old daughter loves to play this game! I love it because it's very educational. She enjoys using her knowledge from school and just general knowledge to figure out the answer. She's learned a lot of new things, too.

I purchased this game because it was on clearance. My husband and I love strategy games so I thought we could give it a try. I wasn't sure how fun it would be as there was no description of the game. But, I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I play it quite often-it is one of our favorite games now! Because of the strategy part, each time you play is different. It was definitely worth the few dollars I spent on it-a great deal! The reason for the 3 stars on the durability is because when I recieved the game, one marble was chipped and now chips easily, but otherwise it seems to be okay. There really is no educational value except for the strategy part.

Moving the black and white balls around seems like it could be mundane but be careful......there's strategy involved. Our family has spent endless hours battling each other for board dominance. It's not as simple as it looks. Once you learn a few strategic moves, you'll be hooked. If you enjoy games that involve a little thinking, this isn't a bad one to add to your collection. My children challenge the adults just as much as the adult battle each other. One of a few games that isn't too difficult for all age groups to learn and master.

This is a great game to pass idle hours by the fireside. I highly recommend this game to all who like to beat their friends in strategy games! Dilbert would love to play this and so will you.

It took Dad and me like two months to do this puzzle, working on it everyday. And my Dad and I do alot of puzzles. So if you're looking for a really hard puzzle, try this one. It's the hardest puzzle I've ever tried to do.

My only complaints: the pieces are way too flimsy and several of them bent easily, and the five extra pieces were way too obvious.

But it's still a wonderful(and difficult) puzzle.

This was the hardest puzzle I've ever seen. I got this puzzle for my mother -- she started it in April and finished after the Fourth of July! It really is a challenge, since you will be working with various pieces of all the tees, with very little to go on, except for various pieces of grass! Definitely a great puzzle for someone who is looking for a serious challenge....

I had a great time putting the puzzle together. The puzzle was enjoyable and kept my attention. I couldn't wait to finish the puzzle and "solve" the mystery. I own other mystery jigsaw puzzles like this, and the Titanic puzzle is top on my list.

I put this puzzle together with my best friend when she bought it.We had hours of fun trying to figure it out,along with it's story.It gave us good quality time,and many happy memories.Great for all ages!Adults and children alike.I highly recommend this as a family activity.

I am Mommy to 23 month old twin girls, both with slight speech delays. We got this for Christmas last year, but just took it out a few weeks ago. I am proud to say they can both identify all of the fruits and name them back to me correctly! This has been a great tool fo rme to help them get to talking more. We don't really "play" the game yet, but we have learned fruit names and colors, as well as matching, from the cards!

The cardboard is a bit flimsy, but then again my girls are a bit young and may just me hard on things. I HIGHLY recommend this! I can't wait until they can play it by the rules - it will be so much fun for our WHOLE family!

I bought this game for my toddler. He is only 2 and a half. There are not many games out there for kids that young. This is a great game because it teaches him different fruits and how to identify them. Then, as he gets older, he can learn how to match them. The pieces are thick and durable---even after he put half of them in his mouth!
I highly recommend this game. I am going to buy the other titles in the series (the animal matching and others).

I bought this for my 3 yr old who LOVES puzzles. The pieces are big enough for her to grab and manuever. The pictures are bright and easy enough for her to figure out where the next piece goes. NOT ONLY THAT but it includes static stickers so she can play pretend with the characters. Great gift. I recommend to parents with children 3 and up!!

This is a really great toy for kids!!! My son has 1 and he loves it. I have an auction of something he got for chrismas and didn't want. Check this out!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122049981

Real life bodily functions (almost all of them) and other gross stuff are brought to light in an educational game. Compete with friends, "gross" them out, complete a science experiment and win the game! Though you may not agree that the subject matters are acceptable in polite society, this game is a blast to play. 5 stars for a fun time, educational about snot, vomit, toe jam, ear crud and stuff like that and 5 stars for durability !!

My oldest son, age 10, along with his best friend, 10, started playing this game. Within minutes, they were in hysterics, doing the things the game told them to do and learning all the way. My 8 year old son joined in and he too had a blast. The questions challenged them to think about things differently, to try out new things, and of course, to use science as part of their everyday life. The directions were easy to understand, the board itself a visual delight, the goop an added bonus (as far as they were concerned) and the resulting laughter was worth every penny spent on this game. I recommend it highly--so does my son who wants to purchase it as a birthday present for his other friends!

We love this game! It is full of short mysteries that keep kids attention. The mysteries are very cute and get the kids thinking creatively. To find out the answer, they use a magnifying glass with a red film in it. The film decodes the answer so they can read it. The only problem we have is that some of the mysteries are too hard for our younger child, so sometimes we give her extra hints. Our kids love playing it! We think you should try it!!

This game is so fun. you wear these cool headbands with names of a celebrity on them. Your spin a spinner that has big hint, ask a question, ask 2 questions, or lose a turn. you ask question to your teammates about your celebrity. i play this game with my friends all the time. you should definatly buy it.
