Advantages: Easy to play, very minimal set up time, doesn't last too long so not boring for younger children.

Disadvantages: None

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 midnight snack before Dad wakes up. If Dad wakes up before you get there then you will be sent back to bed and have to start over again. The winner of the game is the person who arrives at the fridge first. There are various cards that you will need to use throughout the game with different consequences and I always find that this game ends up being very hurried as everyone wants to make it to the fridge as soon as possible.

I love this game as it's so simple to start and is not too time consuming at all which means that my younger nieces & nephews don't get bored and there's a good chance for anybody to be the winner in this game. I often find myself really getting in to this game and my competitive streak comes out a little as I know it's fair & square if I win this game and not just because I am older than everyone else playing! Also, I love the way Dad jumps up and makes everyone jump out of their skin!

This game is currently available for £14.99 from Amazon.co.uk or from the Tomy website and I think this is a great price for such a fun filled game.

I am rating this game 5/5 as it's one that I enjoy playing again and again and would thoroughly recommend it for children & big kids alike (like me!).

Summary: A fantastic game for children of all ages.
