It is complete with all necessary items and we have truly enjoyed playing again. I recommend it for any 2 couples that have an evening to laugh and enjoy card games. No gambling involved.』
(I am now a Yahtzee fan!) 『This game came in a timely matter and was brand spanking new. Thanks to the seller!』
(yahtzee) 『Nice product, not really very educational item but as used by young teens and others great family fun』
(Such a fun game for all ages) 『This game is so much fun for everyone of any age. I have taught my then-4 year old to play, and she loved it. This game is timeless, and easy to learn. We play this at family holidays, and it's the only one we all enjoy. I will be playing this game in years to come.』
(nice game) 『You need a bit of luck most of the time, but you will enjoy it from the first try (:』 『It's America's all-time number one dice game! Since 1956 players have been rolling classic dice combinations like Full House, Large Straight and Five of a Kind - that's Yahtzee! The unique combination of luck and strategy makes every game an exciting challenge. Can you rack up bonus points by scoring an extra Yahtzee' It's classic shake-and-score action that keeps the fun rolling! For 1 or more players. Contents include: 5 dice, plastic dice cup, scorecards, 10 plastic bonus chips, and rules. Color of parts may vary.』 『Anyone who's ever done it knows the indescribable feeling--getting Yahtzee in one roll! Of course, this five-of-a-kind phenomenon only happens once in a blue moon. The rest of the time, players must be content with a three-roll full house, large or small straight, or any other combination of five dice. In this seductive game of luck and strategy, players have three tries each turn to roll dice in hopes of obtaining the elusive Yahtzee--or racking up points in one of the 12 other scoring categories. For a real challenge, go for a bonus Yahtzee--two or more in one game! This parlor classic has captivated and vexed players, young and old, since 1956. Game includes five dice, dice cup, 10 bonus chips, score pad, and instructions (English and Spanish). For one or more players.--Emilie Coulter』

(lots of fun) 『We have enjoyed this game very much. It is fairly easy to learn and doesn't require much skill. It is a fun game to play with a group because you can visit while you play.』
(Great for entertainment) 『I wasn't sure how much fun the game would be when I purchased it, but as soon as it arrived I put it to the test with my siblings. We spent hours playing it, unsure of exactly when we would stop. I next played it with my friends and we got pretty competitive with it. I like the twist that you don't win for being the person who gets the right answer, but instead you win for betting on the person who is correct. Although, you do get bragging rights for being the correct guesser, of course. Very fun to play, easy to get into, and worth the money. My only negative comment on this game would be the 30 second timer. It doesn't work very well, but oh well. It's not a big prop to the game and easily replaceable with a better timer if you choose to use it.』
(Gambling/Chance + Trivia = UNIQUE FUN!!) 『Whether you're a Texas Hold 'Em fan or a trivia guru, this game is for you! Uniquely bringing together two very different types of game, Wits and Wagers, I must admit, exceeded my expectations...
I received the game for Christmas from my Grandma, who was very excited about it. I took one look at the betting mat, and said to myself: "Great--another lucky game" (I prefer strategy and competitive games like Monopoly, which you CAN play FAST by the way!). But since my grandparents had purchased it for me, we played it the very next day with them. It was a BLAST! Like I said, whether you enjoy betting/gambling, trivia, or just plain LUCK! It's all there! How it works is a piece of trivia is read allowed (ie: what percent of women in the United States are left-handed) and then everyone bets on the number. Every guess is a number. Of course no one REALLY knows the exact answer (unless they just got through reading statistics online) but it's a lot of fun to place your guess within a minute. Ooh and aaahh over all the different guesses (and laugh a lot at the really ridiculous ones!) and then BET on which guess you think is CORRECT. After this, the real answer is read aloud and if you bet on either the exact right answer, or the number closest to but not over the right answer, you win even more mula! If you guessed and bet wrong, you lose whatever you bet.
And if you're not a trivia freak or a wildly lucky gambler--but maybe just enjoy being in charge, being a "host" and reading aloud, then just take the job of reading the questions aloud, making sure no one goes over time in their guesses or betting (ie: keep an eye on the included 30 second glass), and have the fun of everyone waiting breathlessly for you to read the right answer and make some of the players so rich there aren't enough chips, and some broke! I personally enjoy the job of just reading the card and being sure no one goes overtime, as I am a terrible guesser :)
the point is, there is something in this game for everyone, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Cheers to Northstar Games!!』
(Great Game. It's not only what you know, but how well you can predict what your opponents know.) 『Great Game. It's not only what you know, but how well you can predict what your opponents know.』 『Wits and Wagers, the game of guts and "guesstimates", is a fast-paced game that combines the most interesting elements of trivia with the excitement of gambling. Players can win by making educated guesses or by having the guts to bet on the high-payout answers of their friends. Whether it's the dramatic "all-in" question or the thrill of winning more chips, Wits and Wagers makes any gathering a party!』

(Star Wars Leapster game) 『This is a great game for a 7 year old boy - he loves it!』
(Jedi Leapster) 『6 yr old grandson can't put it down. Kept him busy the whole way home from Grandma's (5 hour drive) yeah! Learning&playing all in one!』
(LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Star Wars Jedi Reading) 『We got this for our 4 yr old son. He stays pretty engaged with the various games. The educational aspect is simple - which is appropriate for his age. I'll hear the game say "shoot the letter that makes the mmmmm sound". I'll hear him repeat the phonic sound and figure out the letter so he can shoot it. Overall, I think it's a win-win; fun video game with some educational benefits, too.』
(Son cannot put it down.) 『We bought this and LeapFrog® Leapster® 2 Learning Game System - Green for our son for Christmas. He is 6 and a big fan of Star Wars. He is the youngest in his first grade class and has the interest to read but is developmentally a bit behind them. This game makes learning fun, because he has little idea that he is even playing a game. Instead he is helping the rebels defeat the evil empire.
It is set around episode 5 or 6. I have played it myself a little bit to see what it was like. They throw in small little games to assist with the main mission. These games build on vocabulary and reading skills without being in your face. Its quite ingenious and a credit to Leap Frog for the way it is subtly done. So much so he has hardly put it down since Christmas.
Pros: >>A must for a child that is a fan of Star Wars >>Has improved his reading skills already in just a few days. >>Interesting dialog between characters >>Cartoony look that is faithful to the movies
Cons: < Overall if you have LeapFrog® Leapster® 2 Learning Game System - Green or the pink one, get this game for your early reader.
Thank you for reading my review.』 『Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire are out to destroy the Rebel Alliance. Join forces with Luke Skywalker Han Solo Princess Leia and Jedi Master Yoda to rebuild the Rebel fleet and foil Darth Vader's plans.

(Great for a toddler) 『I got this for my grandson, who is 2 1/2 yrs old. He loves it and plays with it all the time. His attention span is a little short, so he doesn't play with it very long - and I do believe he will be able to understand the commands a little better as he gets older, but he does love it and thinks he has a laptop like dad.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Junk) 『This worked for about 5 minutes and then is just started going around in a circle. Waste of money. The cat wan't impressed.』
(WOW) 『OK, so you won't learn anything from this toy, BUT these things are hypnotic to watch. If you saw the commercial on TV you know the more the merrier. One thing we learned quickly is you need something to contain them or they WILL find every crack, nook, hole, and seemingly other dimension to disappear into. All you need is something flat, smooth, with about a 1/2 inch lip on it to contain them. These things are amazing. If they turn upside-down they will right themselves. There only drawback is that the button battery doesn't last very long. The baby boomers out there like me will remember the vibrating football game where the table vibrated and the players moved across the metal field. I think the guy that invented these things remembered it too. Oh well, GOOD FOR HIM !!!』
(More Entertainment Value than Robots that cost 20 Times as Much!) 『I am a teacher and in the summer I teach Robotics and I also run a Science Camp. Most of my purchases for the camp are more expensive items... things in the $50-$200 price range. I bought this on a whim thinking it might be a little fun. I truthfully didn't expect much from it. Around the same time, I bought a Wowwee Mr. Personality (MSRP $250), a Wowwee Tribot (MSRP $99), and a small Innovation First 6 legged walker (I forget the name of it - MSRP $14.99).
Out of all of these robots, the tiny, inexpensive ($8.15) bug gets the most play and the most attention. My students are in awe of it and we have had many discussions of how it is constructed and how it works.
I've dropped it several time and it always continues to run. If it is flipped on its backside it'll turn itself over in moments. The only place it struggles running it carpet. While it still vibrates, it does not move forward much when it makes its way to a carpeted surface.
At any rate it is one of about 20 different robots I own and it is both the cheapest and the best. I found a birthday gift for all of my nephews as well!!』
(Darn good Cat toy as others have said!) 『Got this for my little sister for Christmas and she kept saying, "THank you! Thank you! I've always wanted one of these!!" and she got up and gave me a big hug... it was awesome. Little kids in general (she is 6), love these kind of things, things that you can interact with a little, that actually move pretty damn good on our Wood floor!
It is very fast and speedy, it likes to go everywhere, even under the couch and back out on it's own... but you got to watch for it though, where it goes, because until you turn it off it's gonna keep moving. It looks pretty cool on the outside as well.. You can get different colors if you wanted to.. such as Blue, Red, etc. Also on their website..
One other thing, it's a pretty good Cat toy as well, Cats will chase it all over the place...
5/5 all around..』
(So cute!) 『I had no idea what these little creatures were or what they did. My niece told me about them and I got her this as a gift and it's amazing and so cute. It moves around so fast and it looks and acts like a real creature! The kitty is very interested in it, too! But, she's a thrasher so we don't let the kitty grab hold... really, this is unique and fun. You can get a whole set of these on amazon HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set.』 『The Robotic Creature that behaves like a real bug! Putting the 'micro' in Micro Robotic Creatures How small can you go? Using common locomotion principles Innovation First set out to make a really small HEXBUG that gave the appearance of being smart. How will it react when it encounters an obstacle? What happens if it gets turned over? The first prototypes of the Nano were inspired by the old vibrating football games. More recent examples of vibrating motion are the BEAM Vibrobots, and then the Bristlebots. Thirty some iterations, a few years, and dozens of designs later the Nano was born. To give just a taste of how much development went into this product, they engineered and rapid prototyped over 150 variations of legs alone. How it works. The motor inside the Nano rotates a counterweight that causes forces up and down. The down force causes the legs to bend and the Nano moves forward. The up force causes the creature to hop lifting the front legs off the ground and allowing the legs to unbend. This up and down movement repeats several hundred times per second causing the Nano to move forward. The Nano creature's ability to flip over by itself is due to the rotating forces caused by the motor and the unique internal and external chassis design (and a little magic). Every Nano includes an exclusive access code that allows you to track your Nano collection, play games, and learn about real science! Batteries are included. Colors may vary. Please note that Nano accessories including the Nano Habitat will be available from Fat Brain Toys in January 2010.』
