Mattel Games Magic 8 Ball Board Games, Magical Encounter Cooperative Board Game with Magic 8 Ball, Original for 2-4 Players, Family Game Night, HLX92

Little ones love the 8 magic ball, and the game is really fun.

Be great game to play with my friends

The ink was leaking inside the plastic cover. The ball is peaking ink. We dod not return since it is more trouble returning. We have to pay postage and amazon will only pay upto 9punds for return.

Instead of reading all the rules, just read the reference card. SETUP: Pick a mover, grab a reference card. Put treasure tokens (face up) and cards (face down) beside the board. Place star tokens and corresponding doors on the board in locked position. Stars face up. HOW TO PLAY: Roll dice, do action or pick up token if there is one. Move the dragon (follow the blue or yellow path based on the dice color.) Dragon doesn’t affect tokens. For actions: Other person asks a pick your adventure card - the magic 8 ball determines the outcome. (Only do one card per turn.) If you get the crystal, hold on to it and take it to the tower asap. Shake the ball to see if you can store it there. If the dragon hits you, lose a heart. If you find a crystal, increase the dragons speed (one per crystal.) You win by getting all 4 crystals to the towers. You unlock a door by landing on a tile next to it and asking the 8 ball if you can unlock it. REVIEW: 8 Ball is a bit difficult to read, cards may have difficult vocabulary for younger kids. The game is a bit complicated the first play around. This is still a fun, dynamic game that is unique for younger players. I would definitely still recommend this.

Fantastic

I bought this months ago and saved it for a Christmas gift. It's a very fun game, very easy to learn. I think for both kids and adults this is fun. The scenarios on the cards can be a little silly, but still fun for adults. It took us a couple of rounds to remember all the rules. This was a great purchase, makes a great gift, especially for children who are into fantasy books, dragons, harry potter, magical stories and the like.

This game is great with me and my girlfriend, we took it over to family gatherings over Christmas and a 8 and 13 year old loved it. It makes you work together. You either all win or all lose. It allows them to have creative inspiration with the cards if they so choose not to mention the length of the game is just long enough for their shorter attention spans these days. Its great quality for the price, I highly reccomend it. My only draw back is the layout of the instructions can be confusing as to where to find the language. I reccomend looking up it online and save yourself a 5 minute headache. They provide a qr code.

I would probably give this a 3 or a 4. I like games, but this is not one of my favorites by any means. My kids, however, really love this one. I felt the set up was a little long and the game itself is a little confusing and tedious. I picked it up on a deal so was able to get it for a very good price. It’s okay to play with kids, but probably not something my husband and I would chose to play if it was our choice.
