5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids and adults, July 25, 2007

The concept of the game seems pretty simple but game play is VERY fun! You try to eliminate your hand of cards by playing a card and pumping Gus's head on the numbered "food", each pump inflating his stomach. The ingeious contraption inside allows his stomach to expand at a seemingly random count before he "explodes" a fart, causing the current player to draw 2 more cards. Sometimes he blows on 8 pumps, sometimes he makes it all the way to 20! I played this game with my neice and with my adult friends and we all found ourselves trying to gently press down on Gus's head so as not to make him fart, or quickly filling his stomach on our turn, setting up the next player for a sure-fire explosion! Lots of fun for kids and adults.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun idea but the "gassy" doesn't really work, November 13, 2007

Gassy Gus is a fun sounding concept but unfortunately the game turned out to be a big disapointment.

When you pump the head a small balloon expands inside of Gus' "stomach". The air (gas) is released when one of the game players overpumps him. The air is released randomly and a player does not know when Mr. Gus will "let go".

My kids loved the idea. BUT - Gus fails to make a sound (the kids expected a "fart") when the balloon releases. You have to keep a finger on the balloon to feel when it deflates.

This is a big let down. If the game actually made a loud noise (or any noise for that matter) the game would be fun. It doesn't, so it isn't.

Fun game = good game. My children and their buddies rated this one as a yawner - no fun.

Too bad.

Didn't work, balloons wouldn't stay on and the latch at the bottom was broken. 6 yr. old was very dissappointed!
