 "Great fun for all!" 2010-02-08
By D. Lesher (Durham, NC United States)
I played this game as a kid, and now my kids are playing it. It helps them develop deduction skills, recognize small differences and also is helping my son read (sound out names). We love to play it as a whole family!

 "Guess Who Review" 2010-02-06
By Karin J. Diemer (Grand Rapids, MI)
I think this game is wonderful. It's a game that my boyfriend and I used to play as children so I bought it for him for Christmas. He loved it! We played so many times in the weeks that followed and it arrived in excellent shape! When I ordered this game I was just hoping that it would arrive without any pieces missing or the box too torn up but when it arrived it was fantastic! There was nothing wrong with it...it was brand new!

 "Falls apart" 2010-01-07
By M. Tedesco (Glen Ridge, NJ United States)
This game needs assembled nearly every time we play. All the cards fall out, the windows fall off...annoying.

After playing 5 times or so...the questions are repeated, and the fun is gone. The images are somewhat naive and unbalanced. So you run out of interesting questions.

 "Assemble at your own risk" 2010-01-05
By Mimi B. (Michigan)
After paying $16 for this game, I was very surprised that Hasbro requires their customers to complete the game construction that they were too cheap to pay for at the factory. What's the $16 dollars for? The box contains maybe $1 in flimsy materials. While my eager children waited, it took over an hour for me to assemble the game. Even then, the face cards continued to slide out of the ill-fitted slots.



Also, why only a few female characters? If the "mystery" card is a female, an opponent can quickly narrow down the possibilities to a handful by asking about gender. Love the idea behind the game -- but Hasbro should change the gender mix and provide the game in ready-to-play form, especially at $16.

 "Fun toy, TERRIBLE CONSTRUCTION" 2009-12-28
By L. Lamb (Santa Barbara, USA)
I remember this game from my own childhood and was pleased to have it sent as a present for my own daughter for Christmas UNTIL we opened it and tried to put it together - VERY FIDDLY, took over an hour with poorly made cardboard and plastic pieces. By the time it was constructed I never wanted to look at the darn thing again. Give it 1 star because of this terrible construction. You'd think they could do better

 "Very good for Autistic Children" 2010-01-31
By M. Nimmo (AR, USA)
My brother is 27 with severe autism. He is non verbal with the mind of a two year old and needless to say it is hard to find toys for him. With the strength of a grown man none of his toys last very long. I bought this toy for his Christmas and he loves it. It stays by his side all day. He loves playing with the doors and enjoys opening and closing them. The toy is very durable and provides a good challenge for him. I would recommend this to anyone with an autistic child as well as small children.

 "Latch board toy" 2010-01-27
By CHasson (Winter Haven, FL)
Someone gave my granddaughter this toy and she enjoyed it. So I decided to buy it for my grandson and he thinks it's great. Both children are 18 months old. They have only had it a short time, but I expect it to last as the latches are secured very well and the board material is thick without being unduly heavy.

 "Not nearly as fun as the defunct M&D box with latches" 2010-01-27
By Lula McBride (New York City)
I bought this because my 11 month old son had so much fun playing at a playdate with a Melissa & Doug toy that's no longer made apparently as I can't find it - a box with doors with these same variety of latches. It really engaged him for a long while. Unfortunately although this latches board is cute my son just isn't all that interested in it. He found it interesting for like 5 minutes. Disappointing. I guess it will be good for developing fine motor skills, at which he's already advanced, but I don't see this toy engaging him for long play periods. Just short stints here and there.

 "Great product, but Amazon can do better on the price." 2009-12-04
By Paul Harle (Plymouth, MN USA)
My 6 year old has been playing this game at friend's houses, and he loves it.

Just bought this at Target today for $9.00, and with taxes still under $10

I've seen this before where Amazon doesn't compete for price for board games, so would suggest a quick shop of Target or Walmart if convenient before ordering from Amazon.

Otherwise you can't beat Amazon's convenience of on-line shopping.

 ""Trouble" board game" 2009-11-09
By Joseph A. Kibelbek (Fort Myers, FL)
This game was recommended by a friend as being a lot of fun and easy to play.

It's built of high quality materials and should last a long time with constant use.

I am using it as a occupational therapy aid device for a stroke victim with limited verbal communications.

At first I thought the "popper" would be a problem but it is working out as a great exerciser for the upper body!

Easy to set up, easy to follow the rules and a LOT of FUN!!

 "LOVE this toy!" 2009-10-11
By D. K. Boyd (Austin, TX USA)
We got this for my daughter's 6 year old birthday. It was easy to use, easy to clean and hasn't given us one bit of trouble. I read all the reviews of people who say they scratched it during cleaning, which surprised me. A damp/wet rag, just lightly moved across the surface, worked very well. We had no trouble cleaning it.



The markers ARE small, and I can see where they will run out in a short time. Crayola doesn't sell the markers separately, you have to special order them. I found a place online that sells ADULT wet-erase black light markers that I am ordering to supplement her set.



VERY cool toy. We're glad we bought it.

 "Qwirkle - Worth buying" 2009-11-19
By N. Bailey
The first time we played this game with my 7 and 10 year old daughter they didn't like it and were easily distracted. We played it the next day and they really thought it was fun. The math from adding who was winning was easy for each girl and after everyone had a couple of turns we stopped and had the kids add up who was ahead. You definitely need an adult to explain it the first few times but after that they get the idea. I like where it takes them and would recommend it to other families.

 "Simple to Learn, Crazy Complex to Master" 2009-11-11
By Jeff Sorensen (Ames, IA USA)
This game is incredibly simple to learn. But the dynamics of play make it a game with awesome replay value. Every time my group plays this game we find new and interesting levels of strategy. The concepts of blocking moves, counting tiles, gambits, timing, etc are all things that develop over time.



The set we purchased was well made. A few of the blocks did have chips, but that was easily fixed with the touch of a black marker. We also found the gloss finish of the blocks to be a bit distracting, but a light coat of Testers Matte finish spray paint did the trick. The only ongoing problem we've had is the color proximity of the orange and red blocks is difficult to see under dim lighting.



This is a great game!

 "Great Game for all." 2009-11-11
By Gary Hedler
I ordered this game because it just "sounded" like it might be fun. Often I will buy a game and it will not live up to expectations. But, not in this case! This game is fun and simple to learn. You create lines (six tiles in a row) that are all of the same color with different symbols, or all the same symbol of different colors! Simple enough, but when you begin to play, you start to realize that you can create more than one line by placing a tile in the correct place. Of course you get points for each tile placed and if you complete a line, you get an additional 6 points (called a Qwirkle) for each line completed. You begin to see that by playing a fifth tile in a line you may set up your opponent to play the sixth tile and score a Qwirkle. There are three of each tile in the game and I found myself scanning the board to see what was played so that I could make decisions on how to play my pieces. The tiles are placed just like scrabble horizontal and verticle.

I would recommend this game for anyone who plays dominoes, scrabble or any strategic tile game. Love it! The only addition I would make (this is by no means a complaint) would be to add a game version where the tiles are made of a more durable item, much like modern dominoes (ivory plastic type) or perhaps metal tiles. I would buy that version just for a "collector" value. I have several chess sets just because I love the boards and pieces, same thought here... NOW, GO GET THE GAME!

I have 3 boys, ages- 5,9 and 9. It was very easy/quick to learn for all of them, and they love it-- great family game. The only negative is the weight of the game. I thought we would be able to bring it w/ us on trips- the pieces are solid wood (durable- but too heavy for travel!!)

otherwise- great.
