Advantages: Easy to play

Disadvantages: None really - just its a bit out dated now-a-days.

As im sure you're all aware of the rules of this game...but never the less i'll explain the aim of the game to all of you that dont.
(Like where have you been?!?)
This game is for up to 4 players, played on a board (common sense there really!) with 2 dice and 4 counters each. Each player takes a different colour and must get all of his/her counters safely around the board and into "home".

If you get the right numbers on your dice and you happen to land on another players counter you can send them home again (just like with the "Sorry" board game (infact view my opinion on that!))

The idea behind the game is simple, and effective. It is definately one of those classic games that just seems to appear in most families! The game will probably not keep you interested for hours on end, but having said that it is a good, simple game to play when theres nothing on TV and you've not got any homework to do!

Only disadvantage with it is the fact that its a bit out dated these days - with the more high-tech games around. However its not necessarily a disadvantage as such.

Definatly worth purchasing in my opinion!

Gone are the days when you could have a good old family argument about "who gets to be red", "why does dad always get blue" and "does the dog *have* to play?"

Or was that just my family!!!
[BTW the dog was just there to make up the numbers - but he was a darn good player!]
