Uno Extreme

2009-11-20T10:06:00.000-08:00

Uno Extreme is a definite improvement on the old version of Uno with just cards. The only real problem, is the dispenser. As I have played, the dispenser does occasionally get bunged up if you place too many cards in the machine, which can get annoying. You then have to take cards out, and keep pressing the button for more cards. Also, the dispenser does get a bit predictable after you have played for a while - firing cards every 3 or 4 presses. Enough of the negatives, Uno Extreme is a brilliantly fun party game or just round the table with family after dinner. You can make enemies and friends, and enjoy yourself for ages. That is, if you can make it work properly... :-)

Piranha Panic

2009-11-19T06:40:00.000-08:00

I was a bit sceptical when my wife bought this to play with our son, who is four years old. At first glance it seemed a bit one dimensional, and something that would become boring very quickly. However, it has not turned out like that, and we are still being pestered to play most days! Games only last five or ten minutes, and can get quite exciting if more than two players are playing at once. It is pretty well made, and provinding you don't lose any marbles it should last a good long time.
