A homemade peg board with golf tees works better. Enjoy the game overall but with toddlers the pieces can get tipped over and then we forget where they were. There were some random black marks on the board too which made it not look as nice for how expensive it was.

Kids love it, but the pieces aren't slick enough? Cant get any pieces to move well. Jenga is probably the way to go.

This is a cute game...I can safely let my kids play this without supervision. Fun. Better with the wheel accessory.

Pros:

The "man" is sturdy and won't tip over.
The electronic timer is loud and you def won't miss when your turn is over.
There is a rectangle and a circle block to draw on so you can attempt to get your clue guessed.
The box it came in can be used to store the game. I didn't have to throw it out like some games that have the "window".
These are really lame pros...but i'm trying.
The pens don't smell bad....

Cons:

The rectangular box, the white one that you draw on, keeps falling apart. The erase cloth and instructions were in it so you have to open it.
After 2 playing sessions, the blue pen is staining the seams and any abrasions that are on the objects. (they came scuffed)
The clues are on the foot and you must be careful not to press any buttons while playing or you have to start over.
The clues are for adults 14+ (yes, the box says that).  My kids knew what 1 in 8 things were.  And then you have to start over because you've messed up the count.
Every  (i think) 7 clues there is a "team challenge".  this is the "count" i'm referring to.  I really wish this was optional, but you are forced to play it or, yup, start over.
Not sure why the "man" has a butt crack.  No other features, so why this?  Hours of entertainment for my immature boys.

What we did to make it playable for my family.

2 adults and 2 kids (age 7 and 12)
We took the batteries out and wrote our own clues on index cards.  Stuff like spiderman, zombie, witch, harry potter, etc.
Then we took turns and used a timer out of another game.  Now it is playable for my family and we spend hours cracking up about our drawings and the boys crack up about the "man's" butt crack.  sigh

The legs of this bean bag toss game are easy to snap together. To get the playing board to fit, however, you have to pull it extremely tight, several of the velcro tabs on my unit barely overlap. If it stays put, it's so tight that the bean bags bounce right out of the shallow pockets. My kids are treating this as part of the game, but an extra half-inch of velcro all around would make this much more fun.

Don't both with plastic pegs, get a board like this one. I also like the 3 person scoring capability.

This game is not well thought out as far as construction. The board is a weak piece of plastics with a cardboard cut out of the game that goes over it. The pieces are a weird oval shape that does not fit well onto he board. The popper is so hard to pop even I have trouble.
I bought the game for my 3 daughters ages 3,4 and 8 and they can't play it unless I am there to do the popper.
If your going to buy the game trouble buy the original.

The idea of a simpler version of Mastermind for younger players is sound.  BUT...  the execution here is extremely poor.  The pieces don't fit in the slots so they constantly fall over.  While it might be cute to make the pegs animal shapes, that just makes them harder to handle.  A better version would have been slightly larger and easier to handle, with the pegs fitting into the slots more firmly.  I'm an adult and I find the pieces frustrating, so you can imagine how my 6 yos feel about it.  You can essentially turn regular Mastermind into a children's version by eliminating one or more of the color choices (just set them aside before play) and/or one of the slots (just stick a line of masking tape over it until your kid is ready for the more challenging version).  Voila!  Something that will last longer and that actually works.

Cheap Plastic... Tee cracked after second use, my 5 year old grandson's first year of tee ball so we bought this for home practice, isn't worth the money... spend a little extra and get a better quality made tee that won't crack when a 5 year old hits the tee instead of the ball, which will happen !!

the kids love the game for a while. it is a simple game not much for educational value. the game will not last long by design. daddy will not stay sleeping if you use the game much. the latch mech. wears fast!

This is not the greatest.  Many of the suggested activities are so basic that I think most people have done them with their kids already.  But my toddler did enjoy playing with the cards they were printed on....

I was fortunate enough to try this game through Bzzagent, thanks to Mattel :) First off, the positive:  The game board and cards seem to be well made and not cheap plastic and cheap card materials.  With that said, on to the negatives:  I felt that the balls were a little warped and rolled funny.  I also found the instructions on how to play the game very vague.  When I tried this game with my husband and children we had no clue how to play it.  How many time do you get to bounce the ball if it doesn't get in the board the first time, how many designs to use at once, if you were able to turn the board to make a pattern, etc.  Overall, it would be fun to maybe use it as just a target to throw random balls at, but I didn't care for the game much myself.

Not so much fun for my 3 year old.  Would be better for an older child.

The rules/instructions could be much better. Bought this as a Christmas gift for my younger brother b/c I thought it would be a fun group game for the whole family. We did play one round. But there were multiple times when we weren't sure what to do next (i.e. After an undo card is played, does the person who played the previous card have to play again? Do they pick up the card they played?). The confusion sucked all the fun out of the game and it hasn't been played again since.

I really love the gave and the the clever Idea for pegs as marbles. But they are to loose in the holes and keep coming out with every little bump. My granddajghter always after me to play with her. I just taught her the game and we both enjoy time together playing and making memories.  I used to play all the time with my grandmother and miss her dearly.

This little doohickey contains several games at a moderate spread of skill required. Kids get up and move around, which is something even the best board/card games can't offer.

However, there are several ways it could be made better.
1) navigating between the games is difficult, especially for younger children (even if they just have to wait while a parent does it, but it'd be great if there was a way they could express autonomy by doing it themselves)
2) The disks are easy to lose (I admit, I have no fix for this problem handy)
3) There aren't that many disks, either

Basically, in a 2.0 version of this product, I'd hope to see a simpler way to select games and a bigger stack of disks. As is, it's still entertaining my preschooler pretty reliably.

If the carrots are not placed in the holes carefully, the rabbit misfires. But grandkids still liked to play. We don't always use the game spinner - it's fun just to take turns.
