122norfolk9 Some Visually stunning but loses its appeal if played too often. Not so much a game as an activity. That said, children love it
dannywebb94Yes Great game and a real visual treat. My daughter (5) loves it and has no problem competing with adults.
fortgary95Yes This game is sure to be a hit with just about any child, or any adults which enjoy glow-in-the-dark. It is crafted of high-quality components and would be a great way to start or end any game night where kids are in attendance. Works best if you have a room with total darkness.
guantanamo96Yes  
Thies96Some The new favorite of my older daughter, who got it for her 7th birthday. It is based on a gimmick, but that doesn't hurt it in the eyes of kids playing it. Great tension. Easy for kids to compete with adults on even terms (which always adds at least one point to a game's apeal in the eyes of the kids). And it's just plain fun to turn out the lights and play in the dark with the glowing pieces.
1wif85Yes For some reason when we pull this game out and turn off the lights, the kids get all quiet and focused. For that reason it's a lovely wind down game before bed. My main complaint about it is that it takes so long to set up for such a short game; never seems to bother the kids though.
smithhemb8   Maybe it's just a gimmick, but I've enjoyed this simple dexterity game every time I've played it (admittedly, only about 4-5 times). The glow in the dark pieces are cool, the emphasis on hearing and touch over sight is novel, and the quiet darkness creates a fun and suspenseful atmosphere. Not the centerpiece in a night of games, but nice to have in the mix.
Yollege84Yes Fun and quick. It's over very quickly, so it's easy for all adults to tolerate. I can't see much point in playing with the lights on though, but it is really cool when the lights go off :). The components are awesome too.
aldanra73Yes It is more of a gimmick than a real game, but it is really fast, and my 3 year old loves it when I turn off the lights by covering us with a thcik blanket. He likes it quite a lot, although he does not grasp the concept of who wins, he loves it when anyone does.
