Advantages: Great game, fun for the whole family, good price.

Disadvantages: Need 3 people or more really as someone needs to operate the spinner.

Twister is a game from MB Games designed for two or more players and for ages 6 & up and it's currently available from Amazon.co.uk for £12.65 including free delivery.

Inside the multi-coloured box you will receive a plastic mat and a spinner. The mat has green, red, yellow & blue circles, six of each, and then there will be an appointed player who has to spin the spinner and will then tell the player whose turn it is to put their 'right hand on blue' or 'left leg on green' and the aim of the game is to stay upright with only your hands & feet on coloured circles ensuring that you don't fall over and that no other parts of your body touch the mat or the floor.

This game can be very simple or very complicated depending on where your next move is going to be and which part of your body you need to move, also, having more than two players on the mat at any one time can make the game complicated as you will all be vying for space and can be in some very complicated positions.

Although the box suggests the game is for two or more players I would recommend also having three as you need somebody else to control the spinner for you and usually in our house it's whoever is pregnant/injured at the time as they don't want to join in and therefore get to laugh at everybody else as they fall all over the place!

I thoroughly enjoy playing this game as it's very comical trying to bear others and watching your friends and family pulling some awkward positions all in the name of winning.

I would recommend this game as fun for the whole family and it's something that can provide hours of entertainment as you battle with each other to be the last person to hold their pose and therefore win the game.

The only real downside I can think of is having to have somebody who can use the spinner who you, I guess who could do it yourself whilst playing the game but you'd need fantastic balance and that could open up the opportunity for cheating!

I am rating this game 4/5 and I'm sure it's one that I'll contain playing for years to come!

Summary: A fantastic game for all ages and one that provides lots of laughs.
