We bought this and have so much fun with it. But it doesn't tell you that you need to read the book before playing (common sense I guess). But so much fun. My son and I actually play against a friend and his mom all the time. Great fun and I recommend it to anyone.

I can't believe how much fun we've had with this game. It's not your typical board game, it gets you up and moving, tieing knots, making paperairplanes, performing feats, and brain challenges. I bought this game as a gift filler and am so happy I did. The boys love that the girls have to say "Boys are Fantastic, Girls are elastic" in order to play.
