elecrap then

TrinityRhino · 09/07/2007 20:42

yes
I feel the same
I decided to give it to dd1 from dd2 when dd2 was born

god I wish I hadn't
the trunk never stays up and I'm still finding sodding butterflies

PandaG · 09/07/2007 20:42

yep, it is naff. Is now in DD's bedroom, so she tends to play it when she has friends round rather than with me!

MarsLady · 09/07/2007 20:44

The DTs ate it! [proud emoticon] So now it doesn't exist in our house anymore [even prouder emoticon]

hotcrumpets · 09/07/2007 20:46

can't believe how quick all the butterflies come out

then you have to spend 10mins picking them all up again, tis a load of rubbish and a waste of 12 quid

elecrap indeed!

We play it quite a lot in teh Bluff house and like it.
Our butterflies come out quite steadily.
Have been buying it as presents for friends birthdays.
They muat really hate me

CodinaKag · 09/07/2007 20:48

you nmeed to get pop to the shops
FAR more sedate

gordieracer · 09/07/2007 20:52

It's my favourite game cause everyone can play, and it's not got loads of fiddly pieces. We put coloured feathers in and stuff. My children love it.
Have recently bought Guess Who, Downfall, Frustration, and was amazed at the crap quality. The new updeted Mousetrap is impossible, thats a complete waste of money.

hotcrumpets · 09/07/2007 20:54

pop to the shops looks like it has a zillion pieces, not good for the crumpet household

love mousetrap, had forgotten about that, can you still get the old one? ebay maybe

MB games are not as good qulaity as when we were kids, they all fall apart.
We really love Junior Monopoly.

louweasel · 09/07/2007 22:12

My DS 5 'plays' it with the trunk off - just tries to catch the butterflies in his hands. They don't go too far and DD 2 loves to collect them up and stuff them back in. Keeps them happy for longer than you'd imagine!
Like gordieracer's idea of using coloured feathers.

anniebear · 10/07/2007 17:35

I thought it was good!!

Much better than the fish version which is rubbish

suezee · 10/07/2007 17:46

i agree the new mousetrap is pants, it took my dp about a week to figure how it all goes together

Boco · 10/07/2007 17:51

Hmm, i thought it looked good.

Dd got it for her birthday. The first time was fun. After that, it gobs out the butterflies in 3 seconds, and then takes ages to find them all, unscrew the head and set it all up again.

Hulababy · 10/07/2007 17:53

DD has asked for this game. Glad I have resisted.

Still need to get hold of Junior Monopoly as seen it recommended on here before. DD enjoys Junior Cludeo.

kate100 · 10/07/2007 17:53

We all love it, many hours of entertainment in our house with it.

EnidJane · 10/07/2007 18:01

we thought it was crap when we first bought it

but 2 years later and visiting guests LOVE it - I think it gets moe fun when they are older and can actaully catch the butterfluies (and set it up themselves )

EnidJane · 10/07/2007 18:02

hula dd2 plays regurlar monopoly (is nearly 5)

I wouldnt bother with the junior versoin

EnidJane · 10/07/2007 18:03

Cadoo is the absuluyte best IMO

fave by miles in our house

chloesmumtoo · 19/08/2007 22:44

We love elefun lol. However I do have an older ds 10 years who helps out with dd. They just argue who gets the most! As they always do lol
