    5 Stars sequence game
    This is a very fun game for children and adults. My husband and I love it.

    4 Stars a very fun board game.
    This is a very fun game to play with 4 people.I don’t know about the educational aspects of it but it was a great thing to bring on a cruise whn you have a few “sea” days.

    5 Stars LOVE this game!!
    EVERYONE can play this game and will love it. We get new kids and grownups every year wanting to be added to “teams” to play around the pool. GREAT family game or game for 2. Dont try to play with 3 players however, no one can win!

    4 Stars Very interesting game which requires both skill and luck. A fun game to play in a group.
    This is a different game which can be played with regular cards but has interesting dynamics which require a player to be both offensive in scoring for their own team while also watching and preventing other players from scoring. Really fun with more than two players.

    5 Stars The best game
    Really nice game. Easy to teach, easy to learn. If you take it to a party people will be able to pick it up quickly. Easy but challenging.

    Quiddler




    The challenge of Quiddler is to arrange your entire hand into words. Draw and discard in turn. Try to use those high point letters, but don’t get caught with them uncombined! Quiddler is fast paced because you can play using everyday words. A bonus is given for the most words in each round (so little words can help you win), as well as for the longest word. Quiddler is a delightful challenge for both rookies and word game lovers. Quiddler is for up to eight players.

    5 Stars Great Word Card Game
    Had never heard of this game but after reading other reviews decided to buy it and give it a try. Lot’s of fun to play, game is fairly short so you’re not stuck playing it forever either.

    5 Stars Great Game
    It is similar to Scrabble but with playing cards. Strategy becomes more apparent the further you progress in the game. The best part is that anyone can play. With bonuses for the most words as well as the longest word it caters to players of all skill sets and ages.

    5 Stars From school to home
    What a great way to keep my son learning both in school and out. He introduced our family to this game after playing at school during indoor recess. We like the way it helps build vocabulary for the younger ones and stretches our strategy skills for the older ones. You try to find long words or multiple words using the cards you have with each letter being worth points. The longer you play, the more cards you get in each round. Board games take up so much space, so it’s nice to have a small deck of cards to pull out of a drawer with the same impact on fun (if not more).

    4 Stars Good family fun
    I bought this game for my husband, but we all enjoy this as a family.

    5 Stars Quiddler
    This game is great! Both my 5 year old and my 15 year old play this (together). The educational value, along with the fun, make this a must have game!

    1 Star What a rip!
    My grown daughters and I are huge Twilight fans and I bought the game for us to play when they visited. What a major let down! The instructions were not only poorly written, but very, very incomplete. Most of the directions on the playing cards were not explained anywhere either, so we had no clue what to do-and all three of us are intelligent women. I can not imagine a young person trying to figure this game out. We finally gave up and tried to play it like Trivia, the actual Twilight questions anyway. But, even some of the questions were incomplete and some of the answers were wrong! I’m guessing the makers spent all of 24 hours creating this game. Save your money-buy Monopoly.

    4 Stars Twilight the board game…
    This is an okay game… the trivia questions are spectacular but the challenges are lame especially if you dont have alot of people to play with… the more players the better but if you are playing with people you know pretty well then the challenges arent real challenging!! I love the artwork tho on the cards and board… many scenes from the movie are depicted which are really fun to look at!! overall tho not a bad attempt at a game!!

    1 Star Can’t wait till the Trivial Pursuit Twilight Game
    The instructions are confusing… The questions are way too easy… the challenges for the white daggers were stupid and definitely boring and have nothing to do with the books or movie.

    I do not recommend this to anyone. If you want to play a Twilight game wait for Trivial Pursuit. At least then the questions will have some challenge and will include book and movie trivia!

    One more thing about this game…. on the cards it will say, Plot Challenge – human… or plot challenge-vampire… Your supposed to do something different with each version… at least thats what I got out of the directions… although what you’re supposed to do with them is completely beyond me… especially since its not clearly marked as to what you are to do with them.

    Maybe if the directions were more clear and easier to understand, then maybe the ratings would be a little higher…

    2 Stars Disappointing….
    I played this game with my daughter and it is very disappointing. First, the instructions are lacking in information and not clear on how the game is to be played. There is no mention of playing in teams – human vs. vampire. I only found this out by Googling the game. Second, there are many typos on the challenge cards. It is like they didn’t take time to review this product for quality before production. Third, the white dagger challenge questions are too easy and really have nothing to do with Twilight… For example, you win the challenge if you roll the die and get a 2 or above. This means you have a 5 in 6 chance of winning the challenge. There are “Story” cards that opponents can play to add or subtract numbers to a die roll; but again, the instructions are not clear on how to use these cards. Last, the overall quality of this product is low. The game pieces are basically slips of paper that you insert in a stand. The cards are not sturdy and easily bendable. In addition book fans will be disappointed to learn that the questions in the game are based on the movie – you will find contradictions! If you must buy this game – know that you are not getting quality.

    4 Stars FUN!
    I bought this game because I was having a Twilight party. There were 7 of us playing, and we had a blast. The age range of our players was 17 to 41, and everyone really enjoyed the game.

    At first, the directions are unclear, but once you start playing, you can get the hang of the game quickly. The object is collect all 8 “scene cards”. To do this, you complete challenges. Some challenges are trivia from the movie, while others are rolling the dice. Most of the trivia questions are extremely easy if you have seen the movie, but there were a few stump-worthy questions. Then there are other challenges that test your powers of observation and your knowledge of the other players. For example, in one challenge, everyone has to write down their biggest fear, and the challenger has to try to guess what they are.

    This game is an extremely fun, interactive game. Although, it is best played by four or more players.

    The only downfall to the game it that the game pieces and cards are not very sturdy. They are made of flimsy cardboard and feature the Cullen Crest in different colors. I would have preferred something made likw Monopoly game pieces, and have them shaped like characters from the series.
