I bought a Rubik's cube from a seller on Amazon. I was disappointed to see it wasn't an original Rubik's Cube, but a cheap rip-off.
Despite this, the cube seemed to move nicely, there weren't stickers but coloured pieces of plastic, so the trouble of the stickers peeling off was non-existent.
However, after about a week of solving it again, again and again, one of the centre pieces fell out. It just... fell out.
So I proceeded to pop it back in again, which it did with a satisfying 'click'.
Later that day I realised the piece was started to become loose. It fell out again. On my second time of replacing it, it shattered.
I got this for my son and he loved it.It is not hard to play we have played with it 8 times now it gets boring you can play it on a rainy day.It is a bit over priced but it is worth it

This is a really excellent childrens game. The construction means you have to hold the barrel with one hand while pushing a sword into it with the other hand so you really get a jolt if the pirate pops out. Everyone from Great Grandparents to 3 year olds love it in our family. It's a great game to bring out onto the dinner table after a meal and everyone can join in. It's completely random who wins each time.
It's very funny and the pirate really does jump out a long way.
Highly recommended.

A game that I bought after reading the reviews and have not been disappointed. It is great fun for the child and the adult and teaches at the same time. Fully recommended.

Like all those games you wanted when you were a kid and saw the cartoon on tele, then then box was great and it was so exciting,until you played it.When you realised that it was just a load of cheap plastic and paper.
Its disappointing, the butterflies are bits of twisted wax paper which got wet or lost, it makes an unpleasant noise and its all over in less than a minute. In fact I've just thrown it out.

This is a great toy. We have only played it twice but we had a great time. It is a little over priced but the credit card helps the game along a lot quicker than the origional version. The credit card makes it easier to pack away also which helps as th ere isn't lots of money floating around.
Very good buy, would recomend especially if you enjoyed the origional version.

My 5-year old son was given a bag of these at a party and now all the boys in his class have harmless fights with them. I really couldn't see the attraction in this craze, but then I'm not 5.
At that age, children will collect anything, so the manufacturer makes a fortune at £1 per bag for a few plastic figures sold to millions of children, backed up by some marketing and then retires to the Bahamas ...
You could beat the manufacturers at their own game and start your own craze free. Try collecting shells, shiny stones, pictures from magazines, (even stamp collecting was free in the days when people wrote letters, just tear them off envelopes)

I find the naivety of the "I lost because I rolled a 4..." comment startling.
I loved this game as a child and played it often, I now have children of my own and we play it. In all the hundreds of games I have played over the years only a very small percentage was bad luck the deciding factor in the game and I cannot think of a single game when a game was won because of good-luck. There is an element of chance in the game but there is far and away more skill and strategy than chance.
Any player that is out because he rolled a 4 rather than a 5 had probably lost the game a long time ago and that was just the killing blow. Perhaps he had overstretched and was caught out or perhaps another player had risked his fortune by investing in an ... Read More:
