Advantages: Lots of fun to play

Disadvantages: Difficult and time consuming to set up

I bought this game for my two children at christmas and as I only paid £6 for it from the local discount store I wasn't really expecting much but I have to say it's the most fun children's game I've ever played.

Included in the box is:
Folding board
Plastic clip on bracket
4 lengths of coloured string
4 forks
4 spoons
28 plug-in pieces
1 dice
Sticker sheet
Instruction sheet

It ntakes a while to set the game up at first and you definately need the instructions to do it. You firstly have to stick all the food stickers onto the plastic plug in pieces and the dice. Once that's done you tie and thread each coloured string through the board and tie it round the matching colour fork which then rests on the spoon. With the string all mixed up on the game board you then push all the food pieces into the slots on the board.

The aim of the game is to wind your coloured spaghetti thread around your fork before the other players.

You take it in turns to roll the dice and remove a food piece from the board depending on what the dice shows. Now if your clever you look for a food piece that is restricting you winding up your string. Once the piece is removed you all wind your forks and take up any slack. The turns then passes to the next player and continues untill someone's spaghetti is fully winded.
Once you have fully wound your thread you call out 'spaghetti' and then are declared the winner.

It is a good fun and very simple to play. I had just as much fun as my two children did playing it.

The one downside to it is that it's difficult to set up and there's no way a child could do it without adult assistence. Each time you put it away the spaghetti threads get tangled in the box and you have to re-do it all each time you play but it's definately worth it as it's so much fun.

Summary: Simple, easy to play, fun game
