Tomy Sssh! Don't Wake Dad

This is my first review on a board game, let alone a childrens board game, but I feel that I had to write a review on this brilliantly funny, but sometimes frustrating game...allegedly for kids..? The game I am talking about is Tomy's 'Don't Wake Dad' ... My Mother-in-law bought this game as a Christmas present for my youngest daughter and she simply loves playing it and even just loves waking 'dad'. * WHAT IS IT..? Don't wake dad is, as I said, a board game for two to four players ages 4+... The aim of the game is to go around the small board and get to the fridge without, as the title says, waking dad...(although why ...  Read the complete review

The adverts were rolling around prior to Christmas and one of the games my children saw and wanted was Don't Wake Dad. It was around the £15 mark in all the major shops and Amazon so I decided against it in the end but I recently saw it in a charity shop for £4.00 and snapped it up. The premise of the game is to make it around the board from your bed to the fridge, without waking up the sleeping dad in the bed in the middle of the board. This is done by rolling the dice and moving along on coloured squares around his raised bed. If you land on a square and do not have the corresponding card to match it, you have to press a button on his alarm clock the same ...  Read the complete review

Sssh! Don't Wake Dad is a game from Tomy and the box advises that it is suitable for 6+ years (although the Tomy website says 4+) and it's designed for 2-4 players. The game comes within a thick cardboard box and you get a dice with coloured dots, different coloured cards, game counters, plastic board & bed with Dad and when you have finished playing the game the plastic pieces fit underneath the bed for easy storage and everything fits back in to the box with ease which makes storage very simple. The game is very simple to set up as you just need to pick a counter & lay down Dad & the aim of the game is to get to the fridge for a ...  Read the complete review

Ok this is another game I saw as a child and never received. The amount of games I must have seen as a child and wanted, my parents would have been sick of hearing I want this I want that - just as I am now! Anyway my daughter wanted this for her Christmas a couple of years ago so I bought it for her. It was a great name to see on a board game as her dad works night shift so those are the very exact words which get repeated in this house. Anyway the aim of the game is not to wake dad. You get a board with diferent spaces on them which have assorted pictures, a dad in a bed which you push down, counters and some cards. You deal the cards out to the players and then ...  Read the complete review
