Played this game with a niece and mother-in-law who is elderly and got it so we could keep my mother-in-laws mind working. She enjoys playing it.

Great game for the whole family!

I couldn't believe that I ordered this game on a Tuesday and it was here with the mail on Wednesday. I would have paid more money for it in a store and I didn't have to use any gas or time to find it! The delivery was UNBELIEVABLE!! Couldn't ask for any more!

Easy and fun!

This is a really fun and easy game to play. It has several ways to play. You can even play this alone. It is a great travel game and lots of fun.

Better than Scrabble

My family loves this game! It's basically all of the fun of Scrabble and none of the hassle (no scoring, counting up points, or waiting forever while someone is playing their turn). It's great for all ages (as long as they can spell), flexible enough to accommodate multiple players, and still fun even with just two people. It's portable enough to take while traveling, and it's easy to teach new players how to play it. The packaging is also cute and makes a nice gift.

5. 405 Pieces

Customer Review :

405 sounds like a lot, but isn't

Legos are great, don't get me wrong... but it's a little disappointing when you are expecting 405 pieces to be a lot of legos (it's not). You will need to buy two or three of these to really go to town building. A little underwhelming.

Rating :

Not for Small Children

I was very disappointed. The pieces are tiny and not appropriate for young children. This looks like a building set for adult or teenagers.

Rating :

works well for a first set

The box is only about 1/4 filled with legos. Really for the creative builder, you would need about three of these sets to build much of anything. My son received these on Christmas, and we haven't played with it very much. It just seems like the legos don't stay together very well, and every time we build something decent, it falls apart so easily, it is hardly worth the effort. Possibly legos have always been this way. I was more interested in dolls as a girl, so this is really my first lego experience. For now they are put up in his closet. Im hoping since he is a boy, he will "get it" more than I seem to, and one day be able to build wonders with his legos. Meanwhile he seems to favor his duplo blocks, lincoln logs, and regular wooden blocks.

For small and big kids

My husband and my children love Legos. This is a really good deal when you consider the free shipping. Will definitely buy again.

Lego Building set

This set was great. My kids were getting the sets that built specific vehicles and we wanted them to have more pieces to help them build anything in their imagination. This was a perfect starter set.

love it

the game came quickly and in great shape. It is a lot of fun, but a little hard to figure out at first if you have not ever played the game before.

Best game ever.

This is the best board game ever made. There needs to be nothing else written about Settlers of Catan. In fact, everything else I'm writing beyond that first sentence is extraneous. If you're still reading this and not purchasing said board game, you are wasting your time.

Great Game for Everyone!

I was amazed I had never heard of this game until now. A friend of ours recommended it while visiting, so we ran out and purchased the game right away. That night we played until 1 AM in the morning. This game is fun!

The instruction book is rather large, but the gist of the game is on the first two pages. My 8-year old daughter picked up the game right away and now wants to play all the time. I really like the fact that the game play is different every time. It is definitely a strategy style game and take a few games under your belt to start developing your own strategies.

Our edition came with extra plastic bags for all the pieces. And everything fits nicely into the box. The game board, at first, fit very tight into the surrounding edges. I found that if I took some of the hex pieces and just rubbed the edges on the table to flatten out the nubs created when punching them out of the cardboard that it fit nicely into the surrounding pieces. You might want to do that too.

If you like playing games, this is a must. This is our new 'family game night' game to play. For two players, the game play lasts 30 minutes to an hour. You can figure that for every extra person play, it will add about 30 minutes or so to the game play.

You can't go wrong buying this game!

Rating :

Great group game!

Settlers is a great strategy game geared for a wide audience. The pieces and board were made to be durable and every match is always different due to the different land tiles and different number placings. I'd say the game is a mix between Risk and Monopoly.

My favorite board game

Settlers of Catan is by far my favorite board game. We encountered it a few years back and it continues to remain the favorite. The standard version is for 4 people, with the minimum age around 10. Extensions are available, and you can easily change some rules if there are only 3 of you. A typical game lasts about an hour.

The players compete to acquire resources and construct roads, settlements, cities etc. There is also an amount of chance since you use two dice at each turn to determine who gets what resources. In that respect it is like many other board games. But there are three main factors that make it very interesting and why everyone feels that they can have a chance of winning each game: (1) the board setup is random, so that everytime you play, it IS a new game (there is a Nexus One app available that allows you to get a more balanced board), and (2) you can trade resources, and only the player whose turn it is can trade so that each time you have a possibility of acquiring points, and (3) there are many ways of acquiring points to take you to victory.

Incidently, Amir Khan once said on his blog that he likes to play Settlers of Catan a lot.

Due to the large number of possibilities the first time you play it seems a bit daunting. But it is worth every bit of you time and effort. The game was apparently invented in Germany to teach about capitalism. It has one the 'Spiel des Jahres' (game of the year) award in 1995.

fast shipping!

This product was shipped the day after I purchased it and received it within a few business days. It was as pictured however the box was a little crushed.

Unique toy! Kids will enjoy them.

I purchased two of these while on vacation in Laguna beach. I gave them both to my 2 and 3 year old. They immediately loved them and now three months later are still playing with them. The only thing you should know is that eventually hair and dust gets wrapped around the wheels not allowing for them to run. Don't throw them away unless you want to purchase them every other week or so. The way to resolve this issue is to simply take the Zhu Zhu a part. It is a fairly simple task. Just clean the wheels with tweezers and a needle. Once completed your Zhu Zhu runs like new. We currently have four Zhu Zhu's without any of the extras. My children love them.

Happy Child!!!!!!!!!!

My daughter specifically wanted the "pink" hamster and EVERYWHERE was sold out. Luckily, I found it on amazon. Thank you so much for saving the day!!!!!!!!!!!

Cute and fun

Every girl in my daughter's third grade class had a zhu zhu pet, so now my daughter has one, too. Apparently, according to her classmates, "Jilly" is a rare hamster, so they were all excited that she had the pink one. We've had it about a month and it does what it is supposed to -- it moves around, makes noises, etc. We do not have any of the toys, and she just enjoys watching it. She took an old cardboard box to make a house for it, and has not had any problems with it.

Butterfly Garden

This is a great educational toy! Bought it for my niece who loves butterflies and am thrilled with it!

Rating :

Great Product - this is my second one

I bought this 3 or 4 years ago for my son. Sent away for the caterpillars and had two delighted kids watching the whole process happen. Each summer this has also been our lightening bug container each night in June and July. We've caught local caterpillars and had varying degrees of success having them turn to butterflies or moths.

My son's preschool and kindergarten class have also borrowed it for a month at a time when they were doing butterfly projects.

So it wore out. Hence we are happily buying another one and will start over with sending away for caterpillars this spring and I'm sure it will house many more creepy crawlies to come.

It is easy to store (folds down and velcro holds together). The zipper is easy to use (both my son and daughter could manage it at 3 1/2. It is way more humane than the plastic bug holders with a magnifying glass because air circulates and temperature is less likely to get hot.

We highly recommend.

AWESOME!

I got this for my then 5 year old daughter. She took it into school as her "show and tell" each week and the kids got to witness a couple of the butterflies hatch. She's never been so excited about a present in her life. She wants another kit for her birthday this year. We'll definitely be doing this again. Great experience and hands on learning.

Extra Expense Involved!!!

I just opened this up to see that you have to pay extra $$ for the shipping and handling o the butterflies. Sorry, but this should be included in the price. I already paid for this and should not have to pay more! I am looking forward to doing this with my daughterm but disappointed that I have to shell out more money to get what I already should have purchased.
