Hello there. I've been a collector of Ouija boards for many years. They keep getting smaller and junkier. They used to be almost two feet wide and now they're barely 12 inches. Ouija boards are alive and well, but not the ones made by Parker Brothers. You would be much better off getting a handmade wooden board for just a little more than this cardboard and plastic piece of junk. Just go to Google and search for "wooden ouija board" and find one there. Don't waste your money on Parker Brothers. And, keep in mind that this IS a game. Don't miss out on a fun game because of religion. Greed is a sin too, but Christians can still play Monopoly. You don't have to worship the devil to play with a Ouija board. Silly, silly reviewers. :-)

I'm surprised that someone didn't think of making a glow-in-the-dark Ouija board long before this one came out. My only complaint is that both the board and the planchette are a bit smaller than standard- if you are comfortable with the standard board then this can definitely be a bit distracting. It will hold a "charge" for approximately 30 minutes. Once again, if you are not used to time limits on your sessions, then this can also prove distracting. My advice is to keep the candles handy.

The talking board is only a tool- neither good nor evil. However, it is a tool far different from divination aids such as the tarot, runes, or the various I Ching methods. With all talking boards you are openly inviting the influence of disembodied entities. Be very careful what you are opening the door to. I wouldn't even consider using it without deep and sincere prayers for protection. Low-level spirits can only influence those who are "vibrating" on the same low level. Examine your motives and your maturity before you experiment here.

To some people tarot cards are just paper, to some this will just be plastic and fiberboard. YOU bring the vital component to the table. It all depends on your sensitivity and connection to the other side.

I am probably one of the few here who actually has this board and didn't just post to prattle off religious anti-occult diatribe. Shame on you all who did so, this is not the forum to preach and shove your beliefs down peoples throats, there are plenty of other places on the net to do so; and shame on Amazon for not removing such vitriol that doesn't actually review the product!

My main complaint is that its not super durable as a lot of boards out there, because it's basically just cardboard. The glow-in-the-dark aspect of it is very cool, however it only lasts about 30 minutes, so you have a limited window of time. I suggest using this by blacklight or better yet candlelight; you might also want to try keeping your sessions very short if you plan to play with it in complete darkness. The only other gripe I have is that the board is much smaller than they used to be.

I like that it has the classic typeface and design with an added glow-in-the-dark twist, albeit that it doesn't keep its luminescence too long. The price is right for just a cardboard version of a Ouija, since antique and wooden boards can get into a higher range. If you are a collector of talking boards, you might as well add this to your collection at only 20 bucks. Even though it's not as durable as a wooden board, it should be fine so long as you're not using it to rest drinks on. It does have a seal around the corners so its not going to come apart on you with normal or decorative use. The planchette sliders are smooth plastic and not rubber, though not as good as many say felt is for the feet of the planchette, it doesn't hinder movement that I have noticed.

I give it a 5 star rating. For the price, it serves its purpose, and has the classic look of a ouija without the expense of the wood-burned or antique boards. I also chose the 5 star rating because I really like the glow-in-the-dark. When I'm not using it I have it out as a decoration; when kept near a blacklight it will glow without the need to "charge" it and it goes very nicely with neon theme I have in my room. (No, I've never been possessed by demons because of keeping it set up or using it, even alone, and I haven't had any more so-called "evil spirits" than the ones who usually hang out in my neighborhood!) Overall, I like it for what it is: a cheap board that's true to the classic ouija style, for people who are just curious about the talking board that gets such a bad rap or those who don't want to shell out the dough for a board made of better material. If you are a hard-core practitioner of divination or other aspects of the occult, or planning to become one, you might want to splurge a little and buy a nicer quality board; though in my opinion the only difference is the quality and appearance, not that it will "work" better.

I've used Ouija as a teen, and now as an older adult. When I was a teen, it was harmless because I was harmless. Now that I'm a 57 year old adult, it's still harmless. Approach it with respect and a prayer for protection and nothing will harm you. Sometimes it answers serious questions with serious answers. Be aware that if you don't want to know the answer, don't ask. Evil comes from within the individual, not from any outside source unless you welcome it. I've studied the paranormal most of my life. I've studied Tarot. In each case, it's how you use the tool that determines how it responds to you.

If you approach this Ouija Board as a toy, it will remain a toy. There is nothing to fear but fear because "fear is the mindkiller". If it frightens you, put it away and come back to it later when you're prepared to enjoy it without the weakness that fear brings to you.

I always wanted a ouija board. I had heard about things happening to people because of using it. I sort of believed it and sort of didn't. About 4 years later, I just had to get one and I ended up getting one with my own money. I got the Glow in the Dark Version since the original one is extinct. When I was about to use it I got the creeps and I thought about how this could change my life so I put it away in my garage and left it there for about 8 months without actually using it but playing aroung with it. I told my neighbor that I had one but I didn't use it at all. She told me if she could use it. I told her just to be careful with it. Since her cousin was there, they both used it. The next morning I called her and I could hear them laughing and saying, "Oh My Gosh."They were playing it and I asked them if it really did work. She said it's so cool. I went over her house in excitement and I sat there, watching them play and just seeing how quickly the message indicator would move across the board. I couldn't believe how accurate it spelled out everything. So we played all day long and time went by fast because we were so into it. The board told us it was a good spirit so we were okay. The next day it said strange things and creepy things so we decided to put it away and not use it for a while. It's really fun though but you just have to be careful with it. It's a must have. I recommend it to teenagers because you kind of know what you're doing but take it seriously or it won't work. Have Fun!!

Of course there are fanatics calling this toy evil because B movies give it a bad name but the fact is this IS a toy. This is a toy. It's a fun toy. It's a rectangular piece of card board with the alphabet drawn on it and then painted with glow in the dark paint. The planchet (the triangle thing) is plastic. It wasn't 'carved by Satan.' It's not Evil. It's a toy. Think about it. What self respecting demon is going to show up using a glow in the dark piece of plastic? If that's your idea of evil clearly you don't know about the cruelty and violence in the world today that you have to rant about a TOY! Get a grip!

Little girls use these at slumber parties and I've yet to see anyone sucked into Hell for asking the piece of cardboard 'Does Timmy like me?' Some of these negative reviews calling this evil and Satanic are out right silly.

Everyone else claims that their board comes with spirits or - better still - demons! So I eagerly bought one, hoping to finally find definitive proof of the supernatural. Boy was I disappointed to find all this toy did was perfectly demonstrate the ideomotor effect ... I feel cheated.

I've played this game all my life and I have always loved it. It doesn't work the first time you play it but you really have to believe in the unknown to get the spirits to answer you. Don't play around with it, it's not a game. But also don't take it too seriously or you'll start basing your decisions on it and it might not make you do the right things. I think it's a really good thing to have when you're looking for answers and it's a lot of fun. The glow in the dark feature is really cool and it sets the mood when you're playing. To get answers from your board it is important that you relax and concentrate only on your question. Try to clear your mind of everything else. The Ouija Board is my favorite game and I thank my aunt for introducing it to me.

I recently purchased this Ouija board after chatting it up with my boyfriend about how scary a Ouija Board would be to use on Holloween. Obviously I was making sarcastic remarks and was not serious about it becauase I thought Ouija was all nothing but a bunch of hog wash.

Well anyway I ordered the dumb thing because we thought it be a fun joke to get it and see that this thing dont work like people believe it to. I thought it was so funny how people called this simple piece of plastic & cardboard "Witchcraft" and "Black" magic, and would say that those who attend church would never bother with it. Needless to say I ordered the thing and it got to my place with the great help of UPS. I got the thing opened and left it in the sunlight atop my window sil for the remainer of the day (alough directions tell you to leave it under a lamp or in direct sunlight for 30 minutes) anyway I was home alone that night and I decided to test it out and I asked "Is anybody there?" and then the pallette moved over and stopped on "Yes". Man I coulda pissed myself. I told the "spirit" Good bye & chucked it in the closet!

The next night I was convinced to get the thing out the closet and have me and my boyfriend try it out. Well folks, at the end of this session I found out that there are 6 spirits in my home and they been there before we had even moved in. They had told us how they were siblings and that the oldest of them all was a 21yr old male. That their parents were alive but was not the cause of their death. I know that the "deceased" are not your best spellers but this particular one had a easier time with yes and no questions. Spelling was hard to catch, like when he had said that my best friend and his girl would break up December 5th, but instead showed us "D" & "5". I asked if he ment Dec 5th & the pallette flew over to yes!

I barely got sleep last night, and I cant help but to keep thinking how spooky the ordeal was, I thought this was a joke but beware its not! Dont ask the things you may not be able to accept once you learn the truth. ALWAYS go over the questions you tend to ask the Ouija, and make sure the people involved agree. You dont want anyone uncomfortable and kill the mood. And remember sometimes its easier to form your questions in yes and no answer format instead of relying on spelling. Grammer can tend to suck, so I suggest something like what we did, we asked "are you male or female? Answer yes for male or no for female". He answered yes. If you are curious, and not afraid and want to experience what it is to contact the deseaced then I highly reccomend it! Just say a prayer before hand & always say good-bye. Sometimes they will say it back, other times they may not. But that dont matter, Just make sure that YOU always do when you are ready to call it a night. Its just simple manners.

*Have fun, Be safe, and have faith*

I don't really understand what all this hullabulu is about. So-- maybe some people believe you can be possesed by this board, but really,when my friend got one and we used it, we were fine. We talked to spirits and we learned their names and how old they were, how and when they were murdered, where they were born, and who killed them. We asked and found that there were 9 spirits in the room. I summoned my grandfather and spoke to him. Thats not exactly devilish, if you ask me. Also, I am highly offended by people who are Christian who tell everyone on this site to go pray and that you are sinners if you play with this. This is not a site where you post teachings of religions, it is a review board where you review this product. A lot of your brains don't seem to fully process that. Please, save your religios teachings for church and places like that, and stop harrassing people who aren't Christian or people who just want to have a bit of mysterious fun. IT. IS. A. REVIEW. BOARD. If you don't want to buy it, YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!! Some people want to, so leave them be!!!
