Editorial Review

If you've seen "The Exorcist" lately, the folks at Parker Brothers would like to extend a heartfelt "Captain Howdy-Ya-Do?" courtesy of their newly luminescent classic Ouija Board equipment. It's the same traditional setup as it was decades ago: the alphabet-and-numbers board with "Yes," "No," and "Good Bye" spelled out in turn-of-the-century mysterious script; the heart-shaped "Message Indicator Oracle" with the readout window; the numerous coy references to Ouija being "only a game--isn't it?" So if this edition seems to comprise a bit more plastic than we remember, the promise of the board and indicator glowing in the dark for half-an-hour (after exposure to lamplight for 10 minutes) more than makes up for it. Of course, in the dark you'll never know for sure whether the person across the board is the one pushing the indicator, now will you? --Tony Mason

Product Description

It has always been mysterious. It has always been mystifying. And now, it glows in the dark. Just ask it a question and wait to see what answer the Mystifying Oracle will reveal to you. You and a partner sit on opposite sides of the board, with your fingers placed lightly on the message indicator. One of you will ask a question. Now concentrate very hard on the matter at hand - and wait for the indicator to move and begin to reveal the answer through its message window. Will it tell you Yes or No. Will it give you a number or spell out an answer. For centuries, players have brought their questions to the Ouija board. What you do with the information it reveals is between you - and the Mystifying Oracle. Game includes: Ouija board and plastic message indicator. For 2 players.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tiny piece of junk, May 22, 2006

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. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a tool- but one to treat with respect., February 5, 2006

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A review from someone who actually bought this board, November 1, 2009

This review is from: Ouija Board Glow-in-the-Dark (Toy)

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.
