Buffalo Games - Pac-Man Game,10 years +

This is absolutely awesome. You get the same thrill as playing the video game version and the ghost cards can be very unpredictable which adds to the excitement. The initial setup with the dots can be a bit tedious but once they're in, I suggest you leave them there. Just pop them up and reset when starting a new game. other than that, there'll be very little setup. Battery life is to be determined over time. the size is perfect. There is a bit of lag at times for the "waka" sound but it works well overall. It seems well made and nice quality so that's awesome. Though full price is a bit much for it, $20.00 can be justified. I'd highly recommend it.

A lot of fun. A bit annoying having to pop the little pegs back out very time. And board dose come apart when doing so

I got this game for my husband and he loved it!! it is fun to play and spend quality time together, it's perfect to play with your special one!

I really love the concept of this game, and my daughter enjoys it just as much. The only downside is that restarting the board can be a bit tricky—some of the yellow pegs pop out when you push them back up, while others don’t want to come up at all. By the time everything is reset, the excitement fades a little. That said, it’s still a great game overall. The pieces are a good size and feel very durable. I also like using the dice rolls as a fun way to reinforce adding three single-digit numbers.

Fun fun fun easy to play a little much to set up but worth it good game

Pros: -creative board design -thought out pieces Cons: -board doesn't fit together perfectly -very difficult to get back into box Summary: I purchased this game when it went on sale figuring it would make an interesting addition to my game stack. I am pleased to say that though not an absolute winner among my game group nobody hated it- we're all adults in case curious. Opening the box I was very satisfied with the quality of the pieces. There is some initial setup in the form of pushing the pins into the base board but the creators were clever to design it in a way that you don't need to remove them at the end! The board itself as others have shown doesn't quite sit even which may drive some people crazy but we were able to overlook as it was quite minor. The game itself is an excellent adaptation of the video game and everyone playing as a ghost it does play fine with multiple people. The sound effect, while nice, is not the greatest design as you need to hold Pac Man just right to trigger it (move him as though he is walking on the balls of his feet). Also come time when battery ends I don't really know how you can replace it... Overall if you like board games and enjoy Pac Man you should like this one as it is very true to its theme. Putting the game back in the box however is probably it's biggest challenge so make sure you pay attention when you first unbox it!

Instructions are complicated but once you figure it out, the game is quite enjoyable. It takes about 15 minutes to set up, and put away, with about 30 game sessions. It has continued to be worth the price throughout the time we've had it. The board requires some space, but playing on the floor works fine. There are stickers, so if you're picky about how they look, make sure you do the first time setup yourself. There is also Pacman sounds that play when you move the Pacman piece. The sound quality is weak but gets the point across and sounds accurate to the arcade game.

As a child of the late 70's/early 80's, I really wanted to love this game. There's plenty to love, mind you, just not enough for me to play it more than once. First of all, the production quality of the game is top-notch. The board, the ghosts, and Pac-Man are sturdy plastic and will probably last forever. The tokens are cardboard and are printed on both sides. Pac-Man makes a single, delightful "wakka-wakka" sound when you press down on him (like when he "eats" a dot). So, up to 5 people can play this game--1 person as Pac-Man and the rest as ghosts. Pac-Man goes about the board trying to score points by clearing sections of the boards, eating fruit and ghosts. Pac-Man's turn is over once he gets hit by a ghost. The problem is, only the Pac-Man scores points. Each player has to take a turn as Pac-Man while everyone else plays the ghosts. Why is this a problem? Well, you have to reset the entire gameboard for each player--and this can be a chore. When Pac-Man "eats" a dot, he pushes a peg/dot down into the board. All those pegs/dots have to be pushed back up to reset the board. I found that this usually required the four sections of the board to be disassembled--meaning they have to be reassembled which is no minor feat. As far as game play goes, it is very similar to the video game, just slower. I will probably be sticking to the video game as I am unsure if I will ever break this game out again. My 7-year-old liked it until he experienced resetting the board a couple of times. I will say that if you are a huge Pac-Man fan and love all things 80's, then you may totally enjoy this game--at least for the first few times. The Pac-Man and ghost figures may find their way onto a display shelf while the game stays in the closet.

Llegó antes de lo estimado, en perfecto estado y es muy divertido. 100% recomendable, excelente juego

Sonen är riktigt nöjd!

My dad looooves pacman and mrs pacman and has since he was a kid so this was the perfect gift to bring a whole new level to game play. Takes some doing for set up , just figuring out the pins and such, but so fun to play once set! It's so fun being able to play with more than one player in a game that's usually a one player affair and it adds a whole other level of difficulty since the ghosts are now sentient (aka controlled by the other players) so getting to level two is HARD but so fun!

My son said, “It’s a very nice game“. 👍🏻

This was a Christmas gift for my son but when we opened it we were disappointed to see the some yellow pegs were missing so the game is incomplete.other than that it is a nice game, he loves pacman.
