Editorial Review

This classic game has been around for nearly half a century and is just as fun as ever. The bugs' faces are a bit goofier than before, but the object remains the same: to be the first to create your own Cootie. Just arrange the bug parts on the fold-out board and roll the die to win the parts you need. (Roll a 1 and pick a body, roll a 2 and select a head, roll a 3, etc.) Body parts are made of hard plastic and come in various mix-and-match colors. Small pieces are a danger to young children, so supervision is recommended. Instructions in English and Spanish. --Tom Keogh

3.0 out of 5 stars A Great Blast From The Past But Not Good For Little Ones, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I recently ordered Milton Bradley's "Ants In The Pants" and "Cootie Bug" games for my 3 year old son. These games were a total blast from the past and I just had to get them when I saw them on your site. Ants In The Pants is great but Cootie Bug is NOT good for this age group. I was so disappointed because the game has too many little pieces, is a little more complicated than I remembered, and the game board was in pieces in minutes (flimsy cardboard). Suprisingly enough, my 3 year old son is really careful with his toys and is not "destructive" by any means. And although this toy was not expensive, it was a waste of money for his age group.

Just wanted to provide some feedback and possibly save some other parents some money. Wait until your kids are 4 or 5 for this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars A classic changed, and not for the better., December 26, 2000

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

.... Cootie is a classic, but unfortunately the new cootie is not as good as the old. Each player used to have to get two eyes and two antennae. Now it is one set of eyes and one set of headtopping. So now your four year old sits and plays with fewer rewarding possibilities while waiting for the six sixes needed for the legs. Remarkably bad change in a great game for children of all ages. A great game because the little ones can win fair and square knowing that they got no help from the grown ups.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Classic - remade cheaply as is all to common these days, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

My kids 4 & 6 got this for Christmas. It is a classic game, but the parts, box and board are all much cheaper & flimsy than they used to be. The bugs are hard to get to stand up. It was somewhat frustrating for the kids if you followed the rules and had to roll a 1 and then a 2 with the dice to get started building the bug. When the 4 of us played it, some had their bug practically built and others were still waiting to even start and had not rolled the first required number. It doesn't always seem "fair" to the younger ones to see others so far ahead, strictly based on luck & roll of the die. There is no real skill or learning here in succeeding in playing the game and winning.
