Games Reviews

There is much misinformation in the Editorial Review.

Go is not a particular "bloody" game at all. Rather it accentuates elements such as "balance" & "harmony", "efficiency" and "shape". Unlike Chess it is not concerned at all with the killing or capture of a King. Indeed, the game does not revolve around killing or capture at all. While the game is won by the player with the most territory, interestingly the acquisition of territory is almost an afterthought in a game played by experienced players!

There are no "squares" - it is a grid.
The stones are played on the intersections.

Unlike Chess, Go has an effective handicap system so that weaker players can play with much stronger players on an even footing.

Bloody games include things like the typical "video game", fwiw.

So, this "product" is probably sufficiently good to provide a playing surface and stones to start to play... although I have not seen the product myself.

We like this game. The instructions are clear and play can begin quickly after reading them with out a lot of refering back. The wooden board is sturdy, but the plastic pieces feel a little cheesey. It would be nice if the game came with a couple small pouches to keep the playing pieces separate.

I bought mine some years ago, just the box art tells you what you will find, the board is ample, the beads are plastics but very solid, the wood is supreme... I noticed it was out-of-stock for some years, good to see it back

If you are looking for a durable Go board, this is a good choise

I was considering buying a tricycle, but I'm glad I went with the RF trike instead. It's the perfect size for my 21 month old daughter, and she loves to push it around or just sit on it. She especially enjoys ringing the bell - a very nice touch! I also love the look - in a sea of plastic and character logos, it's a refreshing classic toy!

Our son received this as a gift from his Aunt on his first birthday, and once he was old enough to start using it (about 16 months or so), it quickly became his favorite toy. It is a wonderful and well-built trike, and we have lots of great memories of watching him ride around on it non-stop. Our son wore out two pairs of sneakers from pushing around on it, but the trike itself shows no visible wear and tear. It's in perfect condition to be handed down to his little sister once she's ready to ride.

I bought this trike a year ago for my nephew's first birthday. At first I thought he might be a too young for it, but he caught on to it very quickly and even learned to ring the bell right away. Within a couple of weeks he was tearing around the house with it. My nephew turns 2 in May and to this day still LOVES to ride it. Of all the toys I've (and his uncles and grandparents) spoiled him with he still plays with this one as if he just received it. I've been complimented time and again on what a great purchase this toy was, it's withstood my nephew's rough and tumble nature (he's such a boy) and he still loves to ride it. He's received MANY gifts that cost so much more, but what I deal I got on this toy...as I said, he still loves it and I maintain favorite Aunt status :)

Our children, ages 1 and 2 1/2 received the Delux Wedgits as a gift and really enjoy them! The whole family tries to make different structures with these unique shapes. The booklet provided with the Wedgits offers many great ideas for assembling the Wedgits. They are lightweight, easy to clean and travel well too! We look forward to adding onto our Wedgit collection!

I bought the Junior set (15 pieces) for my 2 year old and she loves them! I can't believe how much fun she has playing alone and how much fun we have playing with them together. I even want to play with them after she goes to bed! She plays with them much longer than other toys. They stack in so many different combinations, the possibilities seem endless. This is a great open-ended toy that's sure to become a classic. I want the 30-piece set now!! Get the cards, too. I bought mine from Magic Cabin and it included the cards. The cards give you examples, and you try to build them. You won't believe how many different ways you can put these together! It's great for problem-solving! These are much easier for toddlers to manipulate than Legos and much more engaging.

This toy is reasonably accurate and reasonably safe, as long as players wear their eye protection. I can tell the guns won't last long, but they're fun while they last. Be sure to buy extra darts.

this is good it could proply beat the firely it gose arownd 45ft this is grate and porful and the sheld proble will not help mouch if you go agenst a nother one of thes i wold say you shold buy it

This gun is so awesomely good, its got range and is really accurate, the only problem is that in a nerf war it takes a while to reload. Overall I give this gun a 5 outta 5

We received this as a gift for our daughter. She is now 9 months old and within 2 weeks of playing with it (again, she is 9 months old) elmo's head broke. The table no longer operates as all electrical is centered in Elmo's head.

A toy that we were very excited about turned out to be a dud.

my child loved this toy. my only problem with it, was that it tipped over easy. so i just set the back up against the wall or something and kept an eye on my child.

This is one of my son's favorite toys. He has no idea who Elmo is but he still loves it. He started playing with it before he could walk...he loved to crawl over to it and stand up and dance as he pushed the buttons. Now he is two and the batteries have been dead for months--but he still likes it. He uses the pretend phone and hides things in the little cookie spot.

This toy has been on its head more than once and I was pleasantly surprised that Elmo's head didn't break.

Use the umbrella attached wagon for taking grandson to zoo. It was great for sun protection for him and I would purchase again. We had people stop us at the zoo to ask where we purchased the umbrella because it was such a good idea!

i recieved it three days after i ordered it and it was just what i needed. our daughter loves to ride in the wagon and now it is even better with a sun blocker. worth every penny.

The umbrella really makes the radio flyer wagon extra special. My granddaughters love to have a shady spot when the sun is out. It looks especially cute, too! Great for taking toddlers to baseball games, you know they'll be shaded and there is room in the wagon for all the things toddlers need to carry out with them.

This TV was not what I had expected. When it arrived, it was packaged well but had a damaged exterior plastic piece on the side of the TV.
The TV also has a light on the front of it(power indicator) that is on even when it's pluged in and not acctually turned on.
This TV obviously has problems but it's not worth returning to Amazon.
Plus, just days after I purchased it, it was marked down $20 cheaper...Figures!

I love the T.V..... it's great... Looks great in her pink and purple room. And under 40.00 what a great buy!!!! I'm glad I got it!!!!

We purchased this TV on clearance even with shipping all the way to Alaska it was only $55.00 total, a great deal, the Tv works great! its heavy and well made, It is purple, so maybe not for a boys room? I am thinking of buying another for my other daughter! I gave it 5*'s for eduactional value because of all the educational shows and games we can enjoy on it, and same for Fun!

I got little Tidoo for my birthday and she's been a favorite ever since. I espeically like the fact that she goes in the water even though she is soft.Plastic pellets so rock!! Baby Annabell just barely holds a candle to awesome Tidoo! ROCK YOURSELF OUT TIDOO!!!

This doll is perfect for my daughter. As she takes a bath the baby takes a bath with her. It's also the perfect size. Not too small. Not too large. Plus the baby floats. You can also hang her up to dry afterwards. Recommend to anyone.

My 2 year old daughter was given this doll for her birthday and has yet to put her down, "baby kandi" goes everywhere with her! I had no idea she was so durable, I was even scared to put her in the tub. I was amazed how well she made out, her blinking eyes still worked after being held under the fast running water, and shes dries very fast. I didn't know how much she was until I saw her online, pricey but so worth it. I know that she's going to last thru my daughters toddler years and I can see her just as new with the next daughter (whenever that is!).
