Buffalo Games - Pac-Man Game,10 years +

This is absolutely awesome. You get the same thrill as playing the video game version and the ghost cards can be very unpredictable which adds to the excitement. The initial setup with the dots can be a bit tedious but once they're in, I suggest you leave them there. Just pop them up and reset when starting a new game. other than that, there'll be very little setup. Battery life is to be determined over time. the size is perfect. There is a bit of lag at times for the "waka" sound but it works well overall. It seems well made and nice quality so that's awesome. Though full price is a bit much for it, $20.00 can be justified. I'd highly recommend it.

A lot of fun. A bit annoying having to pop the little pegs back out very time. And board dose come apart when doing so

I got this game for my husband and he loved it!! it is fun to play and spend quality time together, it's perfect to play with your special one!

I really love the concept of this game, and my daughter enjoys it just as much. The only downside is that restarting the board can be a bit tricky—some of the yellow pegs pop out when you push them back up, while others don’t want to come up at all. By the time everything is reset, the excitement fades a little. That said, it’s still a great game overall. The pieces are a good size and feel very durable. I also like using the dice rolls as a fun way to reinforce adding three single-digit numbers.

Pros: -creative board design -thought out pieces Cons: -board doesn't fit together perfectly -very difficult to get back into box Summary: I purchased this game when it went on sale figuring it would make an interesting addition to my game stack. I am pleased to say that though not an absolute winner among my game group nobody hated it- we're all adults in case curious. Opening the box I was very satisfied with the quality of the pieces. There is some initial setup in the form of pushing the pins into the base board but the creators were clever to design it in a way that you don't need to remove them at the end! The board itself as others have shown doesn't quite sit even which may drive some people crazy but we were able to overlook as it was quite minor. The game itself is an excellent adaptation of the video game and everyone playing as a ghost it does play fine with multiple people. The sound effect, while nice, is not the greatest design as you need to hold Pac Man just right to trigger it (move him as though he is walking on the balls of his feet). Also come time when battery ends I don't really know how you can replace it... Overall if you like board games and enjoy Pac Man you should like this one as it is very true to its theme. Putting the game back in the box however is probably it's biggest challenge so make sure you pay attention when you first unbox it!

Fun fun fun easy to play a little much to set up but worth it good game

We really like this game! The rules weren’t too complicated (especially if you are already familiar with the PacMan arcade/video game..) and it really isn’t a lot of work to reset the board so the next person can have a turn being PacMan .. we thought it would be and were a little intimidated by all the tiny pegs at first because we weren’t sure if we installed them right or how far we could push them down at first, but we quickly got the hang of it. The main challenge in resetting for the next player is keeping the board segments together .. it can be a little difficult to maneuver the board in order to hold it together while pushing the pegs back up from the bottom of the board. But it’s really not that big of a deal. Also a good thing about this game is that you can set a round limit in advance for yourselves if you want. For example, depending how much time we had, if we have 2 people taking turns we could do a quick game of 3 rounds each as PacMan — it’s like having a quick video game fix without actually using any electronics. I could see it being a great transition activity for kids or a motivator activity for them to get tasks done quicker, since it doesn’t have have to take long to complete a round, and you can keep a running tab on scores, leave it set up, & come back to it later if you want. (The length of time each round takes varies depending on how good you are at playing the game.) Overall, we really enjoy this game and think others would as well. :-)

Read the description of this product. I actually thought this was a game and not a toy.
