We bought this version and yes it is a bit pricey - but well worth it! Monopoly and Cluedo can become a bit tiresome after 20 odd years of playing it each Christmas ... but we will definitely be playing this game at Christmas! You can have up to 3 teams of however many you like in each team and decide on team rules before you play the game. It's a real race to create a playdough model before the other team guesses what their model is! Some of the things you have to create are very bizarre ... cards like 'gravel' and 'atom bomb' came up - very testing! However this game kept us entertained for nearly 5 hours! No alcohol required to make this game fun ... its pure simple genious!

I just spent the evening playing this with friends (including the 10 year-old son of one of my friends), and we all had a great time. It's a very addictive game, and we couldn't get enough! It's definitely a good social game and is a nice twist on the original. I'd definitely recommend it, whether you've played Uno before or not.

However, beware of playing on a sunny day or near a bright light. The cards are not as thick as they could be and my daughter was using that to cheat outrageously. :-)

I bought this game for my five year old daughter for Christmas because all the other Cranium games that we have provide hours of entertainment for all three of my daughters. This is hilarious. My girls have played it for over an hour this afternoon. I have been entertained just watching them leaping about, trying to touch different parts of their body to the various pads and doing very funny victory dances (as instructed). Brilliant, energetic fun!

We got this for our son a couple of weeks ago for his 7th birthday.
The console bleeps at you when a beast is near then you have to swing the console around to find the beast and then reel it in with the little fishing reel on the side.
There are apparently 105 different beasts. They are divided into different levels of difficulty to catch, so you start with the easy ones. Once you have caught something you can either keep it (up to 3 at a time) and train it, or exchange it for a lure or sell it for gold. Some beasts only come out at certain times of day. Other beasts require you to have a certain lure in your arsenal from previous catches or you need a trained beast to help you to fight the beast and tire it out so you can catch ... Read More:
