Toys and Games Reviews of I Love Lucy Board Game
Customer Review: Trying to Get from the Ricardo's to the Mertz's Without Any Trouble
Summary: 4 Stars
I LOVE LUCY will always be a classic of comedy television. My sister is a huge fan of Lucille Ball and when she purchased this game, she got everyone in the family to play along. Overall, the game isn't much different from basic board games and is somewhat similar to the Parker Brothers game of LIFE. The object of the game is to travel from the Ricardo's apartment at one end of the board and travel through a maze of spaces to arrive at the Mertz apartment with at least $100 and cards representing Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel. The game is just as fun as games similar to it, with the only twist being in seeing people acting out famous I LOVE LUCY scenes or trying to imitate famous "speeches" from the show. As far as board games go, it's about average, but it does make a nice gift for (and is especially fun to play with) people who are fans of the show.
Description of I Love Lucy Board Game
The makers of the I Love Lucy Game just might have "some 'splainin' to do" themselves, since they've basically retooled a rudimentary roll-the-dice board chase by gilding it with lots of superfluous Lucy-goosey frills. Players attempt to move their token from the starting space (called "Ricardo's 3D") to the finish depicted on the board as the top of the Mertz's fire escape. Along the way, they try to amass cash and character cards named for I Love Lucy characters, while following instructions on both the board (such as "Return to Kramer's Kandy Factory") and cards drawn from either the Lucy deck ("Fred puts ear muffs over his ears to keep from listening to Ethel practice the piano. Collect one Fred card from the bank," being one tortured example) or the "AY...YI...YI...YI...YI!" deck (we kid you not) which requires players to act out scenes from classic episodes. Casual viewers of the TV show, unfamiliar with these inside references, may opt to lose a turn rather than attempt to imitate Lucy as Yankee Stadium hot dog vendor or Ping-Pong player on the SS Constitution. In fact, to thoroughly enjoy this game, loving Lucy may not be enough. Full-scale adoration may be necessary. --Tony MasonBoard Games Toys
