Customer Review: Fun with modifications
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this game for my 3 and 4 year old boys. It seems durable and the concept of the game is fun and has some educational value (in teaching kids about balance). To play you take turns rolling a die that has different pizza toppings on each side and then placing the corresponding pizza topping (pepperoni, tomato, mushroom, or cheese string) onto the pizza crust, which is balancing on the finger of the chef figure. One side of the die has a picture of all the toppings and the player who rolls that can choose which topping they want to place on the pizza. Another side of the die has a picture of the chef and if a player rolls that side they must skip a turn. You take turns rolling the die and placing toppings until the pizza becomes unbalanced and "topples" over. Each topping is weighted differently, so there is some strategy to how you place the toppings in order to keep the pizza balanced. The problem is, that it seems no matter how you place the toppings, no matter what toppings are placed, and no matter who (child or adult) is placing the toppings, the thing topples over after 3 toppings are on it. Kind of a bummer.
So, we have modified this game a bit. It becomes more of a team game the way we play. We place the crust on the floor, not on the chef's finger. We take turns rolling the die and placing our toppings on the crust in a way we think it will be balanced. We continue around the circle, rolling and placing toppings until someone rolls the chef square. Then we pick up the pizza and carefully place it on the chef's finger. We talk about if we think it looks like it will be balanced or not, and if not, which way we think it will fall. Then, we let go and if it is balanced we take it off and continue playing. If it falls, the game is over (and we usually play again).
The kids still like the game and request to play it often.
Description of Poppa's Pizza Pile-Up
Gimme some pepperoni and extra cheese. Pizza Pile Up is a game that features a wobbling Poppa holding a pizza pie. Each player roles the die and then puts toppings on the pie, the first to knock over the pie loses which makes it a great learning toy. And a great gift for any toddler.
