Product Description

Those goofy gophers are at it again. They keep popping up on the putting green blocking the cup. Take turns with your friends to get them out of the way! Knock them into their holes and you get another turn. Sink your putt and you score a point. The crowd cheers. The ball pops out. The first player to score 6 points wins! 3C batteries Required.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Silly Six Pins, May 4, 2003

My 5 year old still loves Silly Six Pins, so when he saw this game he begged for it. Since I was so pleased with the bowling game, I gave in and bought this for hm. Although he did have fun playing with it, I thought it a mistake. The front panels that form the slope up to the hole do not stay securely connected to the base, requiring the player to frequently reassemble to game in order to continue playing. The ball is very lightweight, so unlike with the bowling game it is possible that a well-hit ball will bounce off of the gophers rather than knocking them down. It can take so long for anyone (including my husband, an 8-handicap golfer) to get the ball successfully up onto the "green" that you will find yourself ready to strangle the gophers for constantly repeating the same 3 phrases over and over again. We've actually had the game turn itself off before we got the ball in the hole. I love the bowling game, but I'd recommend a pass on this - and my son, who asked to play it several times when he first received it, hasn't taken it back out in over a month.

I got this floor game for my kids and they had a ball(no pun) The characters voices and comments are very funny. When the little Gophers go down in thier holes they talk as if in a cave! They seem to have endless sayings.

Has a little bit of assembly, but not too hard. It was easy to play and the kids had lot's of fun. The toys is made of really high quality plastics and should last a long time.

My only gripes are you have to take it apart a bit to store it in the box, but again it is pretty easy to do. Take that Tiger Woods!

We took advantage of Amazon[.com]'s/Toys R Us' "buy one get one free" deal on board games, and picked this up for our 3 year old son. He was freaking out once we began to put it together and realized that we forgot to get the batteries, so I had to rush down to the drugstore on an emergency Duracell run. Anyway, I got back and we finished hooking up the pieces.

My son loves this game, but I have one complaint: the thing just won't stay hooked together. I have popped the pieces of the "golf green" together so many times it has become a routine. This can be frustrating to both child and (especially) parent, so you may want to consider this when making a decision on buying this game.

"Silly Six Pins" is a bowling game made by the same company (Hasbro) and it is high-quality and fun. I would recommend it over the golf game.
