2.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game - Very Poor Directions, November 3, 2007

This is a pretty good game, but the directions were very poor. My wife and I read and reread the directions for 15-20 minutes or so. There are several cards that just don't make sense. We played the game and it was fun, but it 'didnt feel right' because we werent really sure what to do in certain situations.

It must take a lot of effort to make a game like this. Wouldnt it make sense to have some people test it for playability before release?

2.0 out of 5 stars Game review, January 4, 2008

This review is from: 1000 Places To See Before You Die Game (Toy)

Growing up, my favorite game was called "On Assignment" put out by National Geographic in which players had to travel the world identifying countries via pictures and clues. When I saw this game, I hoped it would be similar in nature.

First of all, the directions on this game were confusing and had to be read repeatedly before I finally understood how to play.

As my husband and I began to play, we quickly lost interest as there was no challenge in identifying the locations- the cards just state what the picture is. It's simply a roll of the dice game. I think this game would be good for young children as a fun way to expose them to various famous landmarks.
