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

This review is from: Cootie (Toy)

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.

This review is from: Cootie (Toy)

We purchased this game for my daughter. She is only 2 1/2, but we figured it would be fun to just try and put together the legs, eyes etc. My husband and I were so disappointed in this game. You just keep rolling for legs basically. The eyes are one unit now. The head kept falling off of the bodies. The lips on mine fell off throughout the entire game. None of us could get the legs into the holes without a huge effort. We knew that our daughter might have difficulty with the game at her age, but we never anticipated the trouble we would have. I would not waste my money on this game. It isn't one we be able to use in the future. The quality is very poor. They took a fun game and made it very frustrating.

.... 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.
