What is the difference between the Quelf board game by Spin master for $19.99 and the Quelf board game by Hedbanz for $27.99?

We have never played Hedbanz, but Quelf is a lot of fun! It seems to me that Hedbanz is more of a children's game and Quelf leans more towards teens and adults.

The one by Spin Master got rid of the zany character markers and crazy/weird/interesting board. Now the game just looks generic and boring. They also shortened the boardgame track to make the game shorter. Spin Master removed a lot of what made the game fun and unique, in favor of a bland shorter game. Get the original game (and use a few more dice if you want to make it shorter).

I have not purchased the other. The description appears the same though. I also saw this version for $29.99 with free shipping.

It's the older version. My son received the new version for Christmas and I couldn't stand it so I bought him the same one I played as a child.

Hi MrsMe, That's a good question. The games look very similar, but from what I can tell there are some differences. We love Rollick! because it encourages teams to work together and is not simply a "charades" game. Watching teams collaborate together to act out the clues is the true "magic" of the game. Rollick! has more cards/clues (playability) than Reverse Charades and offers additional play variations such as larger groups, head-to-head, and playing with younger children. Also, from what I've read on other reviews, Rollick! is a much higher quality product. I hope that helps. Hi MrsMe, That's a good question.

Qwirkle Cubes has the one added element of rethrowing the dice - all in all they are pretty similiar games and i would definitely not have both but if i had to choose one i would go with the cubes for sure.

Please look up a set of rules for each version on your computer. They are considerable different. The Chinese version has similarities to the card game of rummy, while the American version uses a play card of hands that changes each year. I find the American version more challenging and I enjoy it more. Whatever version you prefer to play, spending time with friends is the best feature of the game.

The Sequence board game is a very fun way to spend an evening with friends. We encountered it at a vacation home in Florida and I immediately purchased one for us and one for a gift upon return. I guess the Jumbo in your question may refer to the 'Deluxe' version which I got. It has a plastic mat that rolls up instead of an actual board. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

"Designer" board games usually have a list price in the range of $50-$100. The components of the game are if a much higher quality and far fewer copies are produced, therefore the price must be higher. Many of these games are far superior in gameplay to the mass-produced games you typically find in department and toy stores. By these standards, this game is a real bargain, in every sense.

I purchased this game and also own munchkin. The concepts are slightly similar but the game play is different. King of Tokyo is very dependent on the roll of the dice. The game play is quick and can involve many different strategies. I would recommend owning both games. I honestly didn't think of comparing the two games until you posed the question. Hope this helps.

Hi Kendyl, Yes this is the listing for the "original" larger game. You will see that there is also a statement that there is a newer version - this is the one one you do NOT want to purchase.

Debra, the big difference in the game that I had been introduced to is this -rather than the board, being traditional, this one has a board that is more ofa canvas which can be rolled up for storage. The chips are printed with white onone side, so it is MUCH easier to see the "completed sequence". SJL

This is an OLD question but VERY pertinent NOW (Fall 2013). This version has been discontinued and when I checked KMART'S web-site I almost choked... the item was $162+ and SOLD OUT! $96, at the time of the original question, was likely someone just listing it high and hoping someone would buy it when everyone ran out the last few hours you could purchase it AND still get it in time for a major holiday! This is now a highly collectible item for those into "Monopoly" games. It is no different than a Barbie Collector or any other collector!

Bog box is great, but I playa lot of board games with folks. After playing quite a bit of Dominion, I can say that you would be happy with the regular game. Loads of fun with a ton of replay value without needing the expansions.

The direction are only in English. There is an app which I haven't checked out but maybe it would offer more languages or even an explanation of how to play the board game.
