Fundex Bulls Eye Washers

March 18th, 2010

Fundex Bulls Eye Washers




This game is similar to horseshoes but much more fun. Players heave washers at a solid wood box and score three points for hitting the center bulls eye cup and one point for landing in the box. The first player or team to reach 21 wins. Boxes hook together for easy portability. Includes two wooden boxes and eight washers.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Fun Game, Poorly Assembled
Washers is a really fun game. Unfortunately this product is poorly built. The very first time we played a game with it, one of the plastic tubes broke off after being hit by a washer. (They’re supposed to get hit by washers- but they’re supposed to say in place!) Also, after playing that first game, one of the two latches holding the box together wouldn’t shut.

If you’re a handy person, these are not difficult things to fix (so far), but I’m wishing I had bought a better-made version by a different manufacturer.

5 Stars Super fun game!
If you’re a fan of horseshoes, you’ll love this washers game! It’s the same basic concept only instead of tossing heavy horseshoes, you’re throwing washers! It’s great for kids too!

The only problem I found with the game was that the box is made of a relatively soft wood that dings very easily. After a while, the box looks pretty beat up from the washers banging on it. No harm in it though because it doesn’t affect gameplay.

Great game to have on hand for outdoor use. I have a small backyard so there aren’t many games that can be played when I have people over but this works out perfect. Everyone always has a blast when I take it out.

5 Stars The Family Game!
This is a game I learned about through a friend and fell in love with it immediately. This is truly a great family game that everyone can enjoy. It teaches strategy, hand / eye coordination, teamwork, etc… Plus it is fun! Easily transportable, compact, and has brightly colored pieces to find if you miss the boards. The best part, if you lose a washer, just run down to the local harware store and buy one! A must for every picnic or get together.

4 Stars Washer Horseshoes
I have seen many of these washer pitching games in use that are hand made. But I really liked the professional clean look of this game and the fact that it closed up into a box so conveniently. I used this game at several events recently and it was a big hit with many of my guests. This is a quality game that is lots of fun and can be taken anywhere.

5 Stars Great Game
This is a great game. We bought this for Memorial Day picnic. Everyone could play. Unlike horseshoes, the women all loved the game. It’s easy to transport. There’s nothing to not like about this game. The coated washers are easy to find in the grass.. We loved it.

Phase 10 Card Game

March 16th, 2010

Phase 10 Card Game




Fundex Phase 10 Game By Fundex

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A Family Game Night Keeper
Phase 10 is a great family fun game–enjoyable for 7 year olds on up.

The idea is to finish one phase and then get rid of the cards left in your hand. Be the first to finish all 10 phases and win the game.

The typical game lasts about an hour.

To start each player is dealt 10 cards and they all work on Phase 1, which is getting two sets of three similar cards. three 5’s and three 12’s, for example. Once you’ve laid down your phase you’re ready to discard your cards and move on to next phase. You can play for points or play to be the first one out.

It’s a good game to teach younger children sequences, and counting; and challenging enough to keep kids of ages interested.

Since it’s a card game, the durability isn’t long lasting–depending upon how rough you are with cards.

Easy to pick up, and entirely fun.

5 Stars Great game, nice to change things up
We like Rummy, Yahtzee, Scrabble, Uno, those types of games, and a friend brought over Phase 10 so we tried it. It only took a few minutes to get the hang of it, especially if you know how to play Rummy so you’re familiar with making runs like 3 of a kind, etc. I couldn’t believe how much fun this simple game was. Definitely recommend it, it was a lot of fun.

4 Stars Phase 10
I love the card game we play weekly here in Iraq. It helps passes the time a way It’s a great famiy game. I hooked on it.

4 Stars Just Excellent, Never ending Fun

We really love this game, 2-6 players, 10 phases but You could create more phases as well. we play 15 :)

4 Stars Great change from just Rummy or Solataire
Got this game to play at home because we play it alot at the Station. Its a good just rummy or solataire. We play alot of cards to pass the time while waiting on a call in EMS.

4 Stars Battleship
Great fun for kids of all ages. Great for developing basic cognitive awareness and fun for adults to play with children, too.

5 Stars A good, fun game for the whole family. definitely recommend it!
I bought this game for my kids, but we ended up getting hooked to it. Love this game

3 Stars fun game
great toy for 8 years old. The battle over the sea make kids excited. But I expect more logic training from the game and I didn’t find much.

4 Stars Battleship – always a classic
My 6 year old loves this game, of course he does it’s battleship. Game is made more poorly than I recall….

2 Stars Not Worth The Effort
I bought this to play with my five year-old daughter. I tend to prefer games that can include more than two people, but I thought that this would be good for teaching some simple strategies. Unfortunately, the game is just too boring. While my daughter easily understood the game play, she and I both were done after just finding a couple of each others boats. It just takes too long and doesn’t compete with the many entertainment options.

As for construction, I will confirm other reviewer comments that the build quality is poor. I remember that in my old game, the pegs would sit firmly in the holes. Now, with a simple move of the board, pegs can fall down, causing you to lose your place. They also don’t sit well in the boat pieces. I also received a number of crooked pieces, making them useless.

I can’t imagine how anyone wouldn’t be disappointed by this game. You may get a few good rounds with it, but don’t be surprised if it quickly ends up in the closet collecting dust.

4 Stars Great toy
It’s still great toy for modern kids to get them interact with relatives and friends without computer

5 Stars satisfied with my purchase
This is the original version of monopoly.

Although house and hotels are plastic, the board game is solid and so are the cards and money.

Very highly recommended

5 Stars Monopoly
I enjoy playing all versions of this game, (except the card game. That one is lame.) It is a fun, and entertaining classic board game. I think I will always like playing it.

4 Stars Fun game/reminder of my childhood
This is a fun game with reminders of my childhood included. It’s nice to have a family game without electronics or new rules to learn, which so many of the games I grew up with have these days. Monopoly still teaches counting and money management skills! There is a new twist – the speed die, but it’s optional. The speed die helps you move the game along quicker in case you don’t have a full day to spend at the game table.

5 Stars This classic board game is always lots of fun
I own and have spent hundreds of hours playing this classic board game. It is loads of fun and great to play with your friends or at family gatherings.

Rubiks Revenge Cube 4 X 4

Rubiks Revenge Cube 4 X 4




Milton Bradley Rubik’s 4X4

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Rubiks Cube Revenge 4×4
I got the cube quickly, and I got exactly what I ordered. I Really enjoy playing with this 4×4 cube. I’ve had a 3×3 for awhile and I was getting bored with it so I’m glad I got this 4×4 to challenge me again.

5 Stars Great cube
Retooled 4×4 cube. Great quality. Pretty fast when lubed, but it locks up ALOT. Not really recommended for speedcubing, but for casual use, it’s great!

3 Stars Good, but could be better.
After learning how to solve the 3×3x3 Rubik’s Cube, I wanted to step it up. So, i bought the 4×4x4. It is great for casual solving and it does step up the challenge. I like it but it the layers seem to catch a lot when you turn them, which can get very frustrating. Even after lubricating the cube it still catches and it really just isn’t ideal if you are trying to speedcube. Good, fun cube, but not the best I have seen.

2 Stars Not durable!
Easy to be broken apart! not very smooth to spin, not that easy to put back! I don’t think that Winning Moves is the best brand of Rubik’s cube! I my self recommend eastsheen’s cubes as they are smaller, easier to spin and is also cheaper!

5 Stars Rubix Cube
What a blast from the past. Wonder toy!! Me and my husband played with these Rubix Cubes more than our kids do. And extremly durable. So far they have been tossed around and stepped on and just keep on taking the punch without a scratch or break to worry about. Such a fun game for the whole family. Everyone on our block wanted one after we got ours.
