Lucky Ducks

My 3 boys are aged 6, 4 and 2. They were bought Lucky Ducks last christmas and it is still a strong favourite with all three of them. The game uses batteries and you have 12 little yellow ducks which sit on a pond and go round and round and round. Each duck has a different coloured bottom, there are 3 yellow, 3 red, 3 blus and 3 green. Each player choses a card in one of the above colours and they then take it in turns to pick up a duck from the rotating pond. If the duck has the same coloured bottom as their card then they keep the duck, if it is not the same colour then it is placed back in the pond and the next player then takes their turn. The winner is ...  Read the complete review

If you are thinking of buying this game for a child at Christmas, then beware, because it can be a noisy game when you might be hungover from the night before. The game itself is very easy to play, with up to four players who pick a colour and have to pick the relevant ducks as they go round in a circle.

The aim of the game is for each player to collect the ducks with their colour on the bottom. The players take turns lifting a duck from the rotating pond to see if it matches the colour on their card. If it is a match they keep it, if not it is returned to the pond. The winner is the person who collects their 3 ducks first. My 2 sons really enjoyed the game when we first got it but they soon started remembering where the other players were placing the unwanted ducks, making the game very short. This was not a bad thing though as it meant that there was less time spent listening to the incessant quack, quack, quack! I soon found myself trying to dissuade them ...  Read the complete review

Lucky Ducks is a game that helps to teach young children colour recognition by matching the colours on the bottom of the duck with the colour on the cards. My 2 year old daughter loves this game and constantly asks to play it. Although we let her play whenever she wants to, we can't help but get cheesed off by the constant quacking noise that the game makes whilst the ducks go round and round. Because smaller children have a bit of trouble getting their colours right, they take ages to finish playing, while the noise goes on and on. If, when the game is packed away, anything touches the box, the motor sets off and so does the quacking. Only buy this ...  Read the complete review
