The game is a fun to play, but my kids (6 and 3 years old) didn't quite get it. The board quality is pretty low (just a sheet of molded plastic over a piece of cardboard), and there is no place to hold the pieces besides the flimsy box the game comes in. I don't expect the pieces to stay with the board very long, and will probably have to use a ziploc or something to keep it all together.
The game itself is fun. My 3 year old could push down the popper herself with some effort, and that was her favorite part of the game. I agree with others that younger kids will get frustrated not rolling a 6 to get a piece out of home. I allowed them 2-3 pops to give them a chance to play. The game is more fun with more people, but that also ... Read More:

My son turned 4 the month that we received this game. It was very easy for him (he knows his shapes and colors) and I think he is too advanced for the game to be of any educational value to him. It reinforces "waiting your turn" and being a good loser (he's an even worse winner, yelling "I won, I won"). He seems to win more than he loses. He loves the game, but I think it would be better for younger kids who do not know their shapes and colors.
We own all of the Guess Who games and this one gets played the least. It is very hard to tell which animals have which color eyes and to think of good questions. There are only one of quite a few animals so many questions that you can ask, only result in marking off one character at a time. I would recommend the new Guess Who Extra or the Disney version if you want a different version than the original. This one is lacking and could have been a lot better.
They sure don't make things as durable as they used to! We owned this game as kids and bought it for our son last Christmas. The game hasn't changed much but it's construction has. The parts are cheap and don't fit into the board well and as you're playing it can take a couple of tries to make everything work in sync.
The basic idea is to get your team to say a certain word, but without saying certain strategic other words in your clues. For example, you might have to get your teammates to say "kangaroo" without using the words "pouch," "Australia," or "Captain." Be careful, you can't say any part or form of any of the words, such as "AustraliAN," and you can't make hand gestures, either.
Taboo was a classic when it first hit the party scene, right up there with Pictionary. It is a riot! And for years I would have said the best "verbal-charades" type game out there. Now I have to recommend Electronic Catchphrase as an alternative. It's a little different, with no "taboo" words, but otherwise very similar, and the advantage is that it is all contained ...

My son, now 40, who played this game as a child, searched for the game for his children, ages 6 and 2 1/2. Fortunately, I found it on Amazon, and had it shipped directly to their home. They are enjoying it as much as their dad. We all highly recommend this game.
This is a great game for children, adults and mixed parties. The game gets even more interesting when you start making new rules or playing words from specific categories.
Balderdash is hilarious and a good work-out for your brain. We laughed hysterically. The key is to bluff people into selecting your answers, while you try and select the correct answer.
Now, not one person got a single answer right. I think that's a good thing. It's a testament to how obscure these questions are.
Let's face it, though, the game is only as good as the group that's playing it.
Memory was a game that I played as a child. My family has had a great time playing this game together. It is also a good educational tool for children.
