PlayMonster Fraidy Cats, Multicolorc, 2-4 players

Game is good fun for ages 4-8years

Easy to play and not time consuming so handy to just play for 10 minutes. I like that the box folds into the game so it’s well designed. We played it Christmas Day with a range of ages for 7-70 and they all enjoyed it.

This game has been played many times by my grandchildren. It’s a brilliant little game for younger children although the older ones loved it too. The only downside is that where the baskets have to be fixed on the fence as it’s cardboard it is starting to become damaged already. The youngest enjoys playing it but gets bored waiting for her turn. There is a lot of laughter when we play this game.

In this race around the board game, each player has a cat they have to get around the garden fence. But the neighbourhood dog is on the loose and if he bumps into your cat, you have to move back! This is a really fun game aimed primarily at young children who will enjoy the novelty of waiting to see if a cat will be sent flying in the air. The entire game is based on luck/chance; the roll of the dice and the chances of being bumped by the dog.The game pieces themselves are OK. The dog is the highlight; a cute cartoon character. The cat pieces are simply stickers on plastic. If these were moulded and had the same detail as the dog, they would look great. But where you really have to be careful is the box since this doubles up as the board (or garden in this case). So you need to make sure you take good care of the box!So the question here is whether this is worth it or not. Kids will really enjoy the novelty of this game and each game is fairly short so it'll keep the kids entertained for a while. The rules are simple enough to follow and my 5yo and 3yo were able to play this alone with my eldest overseeing the game. At £20 however, it feels expensive. If there was some way to make the whole package more compact so you unfold a board, setup the fence around it, you wouldn't have to worry about keeping the box in good condition and shipping costs could be reduced, hopefully bringing the overall price down too. I place this in the same category as pop-up pirate: comes out of the toy box a few times a year, makes the kids laugh and goes away again. Would definitely recommend this at <£15, but at the current price of £20.88 (at time of review), it depends on what price you would pay to keep the kids entertained for a short while. Would make a great gift for the novelty factor alone.

A laugh a minute fab game easy to set up

It’s a good game but poor quality and design. The box is the game which is great idea IF your to know before you open the box.Also the items that go on the box ruin it more or less straight away.

I bought this as a game for my grandchildren to play when they come to mine and the ages range from 3 to 8 and they all really enjoy it (supervised obviously)

Ideal toy for our grandchildren
