Paul Lamond 6335 Dr Eureka Game

In this game, each player has their own set of three plastic (I'd guess polycarbonate) test-tubes and six molecule balls in three colours (two of each for you of the arithmetically challenged disposition). The entirety of the inside of the box is these test-tubes—two peeking through a window—in their insert plus a single deck of cards.In the game somebody flips over a card from the deck and everyone rushes to match the pattern shown. The rules are pretty simple: you can't touch the balls with your fingers, you can't swap the test-tubes about (they have to stay in their respective positions) and you can't drop the balls out of the tubes. Break any of the rules and you're out of the round.So the game play is a frantic, though not too frantic, rush to shunt your molecules between your three test-tubes, Tower of Hanoi style, until they match the pattern and then yell out "Eureka!" at the top of your voice. First to do this wins the card. At this point everyone else is supposed to stop in their tracks so that the players start the next round with their balls in different places. You're supposed to play until you've won five cards but most games in our house we just play the deck through and then count up at the end.As an adult, I found I was generally better at it than my children (7 & 9): I was able to use the test-tubes themselves to control the release of the molecules and drop the balls between two adjacent tubes in a single pour, which they were unable to master (no brag). This does mean that I had to either play more slowly (which is no fun) or add additional rules for myself to level the field a little. So I no play either with gardening gloves on or by playing with just one hand.So all told it's a fun little dexterity game, well priced and the kids enjoy it. It's not terribly intellectual and I worry about its longevity, but it's probably earnt its keep already. Only real downside is those balls end up rolling about on the floor all too often—I'm not sure how long before they're lost.

Bought this for my stepson as he likes Science and board games.The idea for this game is simple enough, match the cards design using the containers (I forget what they're called, "test tubes" I'll call them) and get them to match without touching the contents.I can see this being fun when working with children but leaving them to do it solo or unsupervised probably won't have the desired effect.As this is clearly a skill/ dexterity style game I wouldn't expect it to suit everyone but I would expect it to be a fun game as part of a family games time.Lots of opportunities to adapt and alter the way you play if you wish.The quality is good and the parts seem sturdy.Not ideal for little children but this is a great game to help develop a closer bond with family members, encouragement and enthusiasm all the way.

This game is a lot of fun and will get your heart rate going because speed matters. It's fun for both adults and children and can be played by 2-4 people. The rules are simple, so it won't take you long to learn at all. A round is quite quick, though it might take you a bit longer if there are four of you - the first person to win five challenges also wins the round.It's not a game you would take with you on your travels (the box is quite big and you probably shouldn't just chuck the plastic vials in your suitcase without packaging as they could crack), but it's a great one for a game night at home.

This is a fun family game. I've played it with my 4 year old and my 2 year old has also had a go. There was a group of us aged 13 - 36 played one night as a warm up to a marathon game of something else and one round just wasn't enough. Lots of fun.

Amazing fun, at home and grown up kids and grandparents love it. At school it’s a great game to help develop the dexterity of some of my students that generally struggle with fine motor skills. Great fun to play and anyone can win

Bought this for my 6 yr old daughter. She really enjoys playing it and it is a game where she can beat her big brothers and her parents. Brilliant for logic, improving hand eye co-ordination and fun.

We really liked this game. Simple, fun and adults don't have too much of an advantage. Only issue was with my 7 year old. She struggled having only little hands and as much decsterity.

This Item is amazing, we really enjoyed having it.

Fab game for age 6+ I would say. My 7 year old loves it but my just 5 year old needs help.

Ma fille est fan de ce jeu, mon petit commence à s'y mettre aussi mais trop petit pour manipuler les tubes nous avons adapté à son niveau... De bons moments en famille avec ce jeu

Fue un regalo para un niño de 8 años (recomendado a partir de 6). Juego muy entretenido. Va muy bien para la psicomotricidad fina porque tienen que pasar las bolas de un tubo a otro y también tiene que trabajar la lógica porque tienen que pasar las bolas de uno a otro hasta conseguir el orden que dice la tarjeta.

Bellisimo gioco,x grandi e piccoli ,regalato a mia figlia dodicenne ma la sfIda è familiare...si diverte anche la mia seconda foglia sedicenne. ...sembra banale..invece ci vogliono riflessi visivi ,manualità e Fair play.lo consiglio vivamente

Porque incentiva la mente de los niños
