| merkle | 6 | | | Popping that bubble is STILL fun. Sure, its "roll and move" as gamers deride it--but the popping is a blast. But younger kids may have a hard time with being sent back to base---can be hard for some of them to take. |
| mi_de | 6 | | | Some decisions, as to which pawn to move. We have a French variation of the game adding ghosts that can be used to send opponents to start. 30-40 minute play time make this a longer ride. |
| tiggle | 6 | 4 | Some | This game is what you make it. It can last a long time, but that can be time made for fun family banter. It's not like people need to be quiet so others can concentrate on their next move. :) Everyone can play from the fidgety preschooler to the befuddled great aunt. There's something to be said for that. |
| csjoholm | 5 | | | Not much too this one, but the kids seem to like it. This was one of the first games my younger boy was able to play his older brother -- he just popped the popper and then moved his pawns wherever the older brother told him too. |
| mcross | 5 | 3 | Some | The bubble is cool, but the gameplay can be cut-throat, so not for kids who get frustrated easily. |
| musicmom | 5 | 2 | Some | The popper is fun. The frustration of not getting a six to start can ruin it though. |
| pikkusiili2000 | 5 | 3 | Some | A classic roll and move game, good for basic game play learning but can be outgrown quickly. |
| Shade_Jon | 5 | | | Like any other Pachisi clone, only with a cool pop-o-matic bubble. A definitive average game. |
| Aranza | 4 | | | Roll and move, with the added complication that you can set back other players, potentially extending the game play indefinitely and frustrating everyone. The pop-o-matic bubble is very attractive, and, admittedly, fun. Not enough to recommend the game, especially for kids who are easily flustered. |
| helenoftroy | 4 | | | This game is not much more than a roll and move game but the appearance of the game makes the game desirable specifically Pop-o-matic Trouble version. This can be a little cut throat if you are trying to take out the players by landing on them. I prefered Sorry to Trouble. |
| Jatoha | 4 | 6 | No | This can just drag on and on and on.... Sorry! is a much better version of this game. Altho I think every kid should experience the pop-o-matic at some point in their life. |
| shumyum | 3 | | | I have pulled this out a couple times with my 5 y.o. twins and although they were happy to play with it, they got bored quickly. |
