Editorial Review

The makers of the I Love Lucy Game just might have "some 'splainin' to do" themselves, since they've basically retooled a rudimentary roll-the-dice board chase by gilding it with lots of superfluous Lucy-goosey frills. Players attempt to move their token from the starting space (called "Ricardo's 3D") to the finish depicted on the board as the top of the Mertz's fire escape. Along the way, they try to amass cash and character cards named for I Love Lucy characters, while following instructions on both the board (such as "Return to Kramer's Kandy Factory") and cards drawn from either the Lucy deck ("Fred puts ear muffs over his ears to keep from listening to Ethel practice the piano. Collect one Fred card from the bank," being one tortured example) or the "AY...YI...YI...YI...YI!" deck (we kid you not) which requires players to act out scenes from classic episodes. Casual viewers of the TV show, unfamiliar with these inside references, may opt to lose a turn rather than attempt to imitate Lucy as Yankee Stadium hot dog vendor or Ping-Pong player on the SS Constitution. In fact, to thoroughly enjoy this game, loving Lucy may not be enough. Full-scale adoration may be necessary. --Tony Mason

This review is from: I Love Lucy Board Game (Toy)

I Love Lucy has entertained us for more than 50 years. Now we can be entertained by a Lucy game instead of just the TV. This game is very fun and its great for the whole family. There is also some math in it which can help your kids with their math skills. It may not be the best game to help with math but there is money and counting involved in it. The object of the game is to be the first player to arrive at the Mertz's apartment with at least $100 and the character cards of Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel. Over all its a fun game and it's great for any Lucy fanatic or a person who loves to play board games or both.

This game is really great. It keeps the whole family entertained for hours and hours and hours. You can play many many times before getting bored of it. Not really educational, this game provides more fun for people over the age of 11. This game requires a basic knowledge of I Love Lucy so I recommend that players have seen I Love Lucy. This game is fun for Lucy afficionato and people who have only seen the show once or twice. Lucy-tastic!

This review is from: I Love Lucy Board Game (Toy)

I really like this game. i didn't know what to excpect when i bought it i don't really know the companywho makes it. but when i got it i played and it was really fun. But u have to be a lucy fan and have had seen most of the shows. i takes a long time to play though. like 90 min. if u love lucy buy this game. and play with people that love lucy too because if u haven't seen the show it isn't fun. when your playing the game you start talking about the show and reliving all the show.

P.S. if u love lucy... get "I love lucy the classic moments", "i love lucy the complete picture guide to the most popular show", and "the quotable i love lucy book".(all avalible at amazon)
