I bought this for my mum as she often does Jigsaw puzzles but needs to pack them away at the end of the day so that she can use the dining table.
This product does the job perfectly. As the roll is inflatable you can pack it away in the drawer when not in use. You use the non slip felt mat as a base to complete you puzzle on. When you want to pack the puzzle away you simply pump up the tube and roll the puzzle (on the mat) around the tube and then fasten the elastic bands around to keep in place. It can then be stored behind the sofa or on top of the wardrobe until the next puzzling session.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well the puzzle stays in place. This product has been really useful and is excellent value for ... Read More:

I first played Articulate at my aunt's house with my cousins, and it was so good that we had to buy one for ourselves! No family gathering is complete without a game of Ariculate! It is so much fun and always guaranteed to make you laugh! Buy it now!

First I must confess I have never played the original Operation game so I can't make a comparison to that but as a stand alone game this is good.
In this game you are a Dalek doctor. There are 12 Dalek anatomy parts you have to retrieve fom the Dalek without setting of the phrases "You are an enemy of the Daleks!", "Exterminate!" and "You must be destroyed!". A flashing light also goes off if you fail your operation. The sound effects are suitably loud and authentically Dalek sounding.
In single player mode you can just perform all the operations and remove the 12 parts but this game is best played with 2-4 players.
With more players you can use the cards and money which come with the set. There are 12 Doctor ... Read More:

Have just purchased this game. My 6-year old girl loves it. She was very intrigued to see how a tooth disappears under the pillow and a coin appears, she thinks it's very clever. I played it with her a couple of times frst but since then, she got her 8-year old brother to play and even played by herself. She can't wait for her friends to come round so they can have a go!

This is definately a family favourite. It has been on holiday with us (just take the tiles out of the box) for the last 5 or 6 years and I doubt we will ever grow out of it. It makes a great timeless present for all ages with the exception of the very young.

Once you get the idea of how to play (i.e.read a list questions to someone and they mustn't say "yes" or "no"), you may as well do it yourself with little imagination and a timer.
Some of the subject matter is out of date too e.g. Margaret Thatcher is mentioned on one of the cards. For a game rated as age 6 upwards, there are a lot of cards that are not relevant for the young generation.
my two year old son and I love doing this puzzle (not that he needs any help) - it's perfectly designed (as are all Orchard Toys puzzles) so that the animals are fun to find and there is so much to talk about too.
i agree with the other review - we'd love the same level of detail but with more pieces.

...in Series 2 'Evolutions' - so named because the original 80 Go Gos have kept their basic shape but changed colour and design in every conceivable way in the second wave or their quest for world domination. Like the first series for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.
This new album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound from the shops and has comic strips this time and fun statistics about how much the new Go Gos have evolved. ... Read More:

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.
