Toys and Games Reviews of Guess Who? Board GameCustomer Review: THIS IS FUN FOR GROWN-UPS, TOO! Summary: 5 Stars
There are two great things about this game: (1) it is enjoyable even for adults, because it involves a creative new approach to deductive reasoning (don't worry if that sounds complicated; it's not) each time you play; and (2) there are no small parts to get lost -- everything is attached to the game board except for a stack of cards and even if you lose a few cards the game works. I think that the age range is WAY overstated -- I have played with my son since he was four and recently gave it to a family with 3 year old twins, and they can all play with no problem; so this is good for families with different=aged kids. Generally, my son is done playing before I am and there are very few things I can say that about!
Customer Review: Not just for kids. Summary: 4 Stars
Guess Who is a game that is recommended for kids, yet all ages will have fun playing it. Guess Who is about finding out your opponents identity by asking questions about what their character looks like. Through this process, characters are eliminated till there is only one remaining. Guess Who certainly provides a lot of fun. It will help kids to think and will keep them amused at the same, making it good for educational value. Also, the game is very durable. The boards are made from pretty strong plastic and won't break easily. Also the cards that the characters are on are protected by a plastic covering and they don't get ruined easily. So Guess Who is a fun, educational and durable game that is fun for all ages.
Customer Review: Great concept, but poorly executed - CHEAPLY MADE Summary: 2 Stars
This is a really great simple game idea ideal for the little ones - my 4 and 6 year old are great fans.
Only problem is that the game is so terribly made that less than 3 weeks after getting it I'm ready to throw it at the wall from frustration. It took about half an hour to pop all the little plastic and cardboard bits into place, which wouldn't be a problem except that the darn things fall off and the cardboard bits fall out constantly - breathing on this thing wrong is enough to mess it up and require a parent to have to come in and fix it. Had it not been for how cheaply made this game is, I would be heartily recommending it. Shame really, because as a concept it's a really simple and very good idea.
Customer Review: a challenging but fun game Summary: 5 Stars
I am a teacher and bought this game for my grandsons. The children love it once they can understand the fairly abstract reasoning behind it. I teach older preschoolers and once they grasp what the game is about they love it. My only quirk about it is how it is made. The cardboard people tend to pop out easily or the plastic holder comes unsnapped and I am called over to fix it. The worst game is the superheroes version. I bought this at Walmart and wish I had returned it. The people are very close together and are forever being knocked down. I got rid of it. Too bad because the children would love that game! If the company can re- structure this game I think it will be around for a long time.
Customer Review: get this on sale Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this game growing up, so I purchased the latest version about a month ago. I was surprised and disappointed that with a $[...] price tag through Amazon (though I actually purchased it on sale for $[...]), it required about 45 mins worth of monotonous assembly. It's made from real cheap plastic and very thin card stock -- the biggest expense for Milton Bradley must have been the box it game in. See others' reviews regarding the lack of gender and racial diversity, and the lack of features that distinguish the characters from one another. This game is a great concept that MB fails to capitalize on. I'm overall fairly disappointed, and I think it's definitely not worth full price.
