Elefun ?
Magic tooth fairy game ?
Cluedo Junior ?
Cinderella's magic slipper game ?
Scooby doo escape the phantom ?
Rush hour junior ?
Orchard toys party, party, party ?
Candy land ?
Disney princess magical treasures game ?

These would be for an 8yr old, 6 yr old and a 27 yr old to play (me), and if you think they are crap please say as last year we ended up with such a pile of rubbish games that I chucked 2 out after the first attempt

Any other usggestions for good games appreciated too.

Thanks

There's a lovely Woolie's Snakes and Ladders game with marbles and slides. Very cute. Might be a bit young, though?

What about the Game of Life? Can you get it here?

charlietherednosedpussy · 30/11/2005 18:53

tooth fairys crap, so is cluedo juniour
monopoly junior is good
Candy land is simple I have it on pc and its been played a lot.
Read somewhere on MN that elefun is a good idea but the thingys dont float well enough.

NutcrackingXmas · 30/11/2005 18:59

Oh thats a shame about the elefun one.

Sounds like non of them are ever as good as they seem to be.

Last year we had a Bratz one which was total crap, and a disney princess one which wasn't much better.

Am definatly getting Guess Who, because I can remember playing that loads when i was younger, but other than that i'm stumped.

Didn't know there was a Simpsons cluedo either, they would like that.

Downfall, is that the one where you turn the wheels round to get the thing to the bottom ??

rush hour is great

Tinker · 30/11/2005 19:04

Yes to wheels for Downfall. I like that one

We've got a couple of Orchard ones & DD loves them but she's only 4, although they do all different ones for various age groups. I'm thinking of the Burping Gorilla one next. Can't remember it's name but it's all about healthy eating. I think they're educational in quite a subtle way.

misdee · 30/11/2005 20:59

elefun is good, needs decent batteries, your ds will like it too.

Gem754 · 30/11/2005 21:01

This is a classic I played for hours as a kid: MouseTrap. Fantasic game, kept me and sis occupied for hours.

LIZS · 30/11/2005 21:05

Rush Hour - is the junior version the same as the regular one ? We have Rush Hour but isn't a group game as such but is really good for that age group to adults - you can get add on cards and vehicles too.

millie99 · 30/11/2005 21:10

What about Mousetrap?

millie99 · 30/11/2005 21:11

Sorry-crossed posts

Can only comment on Candyland as its the only one of those we have :

Not very good for ages 6+ as its very basic & I think they would get bored very quickly.
Rumble in the Jungle is good although it takes an age to set up !
Also Ghostly Galleon is also good too

crimbocrazydazy · 30/11/2005 21:16

We've got DD Bratz Twister so we are hoping it goes down well and also Connect 4!!!!

busybusybee · 30/11/2005 21:17

WHat about Connect 4 - my ds aged 4! loves playing with the pennies - DH and I have had some VERY competitive games of late!!!!!

roisin · 30/11/2005 21:19

Another vote for Rush Hour

crimbocrazydazy · 30/11/2005 21:19

Lol Busybee thats what DP and I said when we bought it!!!!!

busybusybee · 30/11/2005 21:20
