I was interested in buying this and saw one out for demonstration, so i thought i'd test it out before i bought it. Lucky i did! I thought of a racoon and began the game. It began promising, asking sensible questions, then went totally off the point. It never got it in 20 questions and only got it on the 25 question, which i felt was a bit of a cheat. I tried again with something simple, but this time, it never got it. I was glad when the words "you win" came up on the screen and it turned itself off, probably because it was embarrassed! At that point, i had to leave, which i felt glad to do, and was very glad i tried it before i bought it. Some of my friends, who were unable to try it, felt disapointed they couldn't and have since got rid of ... Read More:

This is a great idea. The box design and promise of the gameplay is enough to satisfy a die-hard poke-fan. In practice the flaws show up, especially compared to the MB Games original with invented people characters.
The plastic is quite flimsy, and it's tricky to flip up the panels without knocking others over. There are 2 sets of cards, with different Pokemon in each - so in reality half the Pokemon aren't in the game. You could play with 2 sets mixed, as long as you made sure you were guessing from the right set. For the most part, you'll keep one set in... as unlike the MB verison where the cards are clipped permanently in place, these are just slid in and keep dislodging themsleves (they are designed to be switched with the other ...

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.

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.

This was very easy to learn, although we did have to refer to the instructions a few times during the first few games as we were unsure about how to play the action cards.
It is quite an addictive games, especially as just as you think you are about to win, along comes a "pick up 4 cards" card...but fun rather than frustrating as it did not go on and on as some games like this can. I would recommend this for any journey or family afternoon together as I am sure my 7 and 4 year old could play with help.

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)
