My son loves this game, because he loves Bionicles. He likes having the characters, and he likes being able to fling the ball.

The board game itself is almost entirely luck, no skill. The flinging takes a tiny amount of skill -- I never missed.

The instructions are inadequate. They leave out obvious things like what to do when two players land on the same space. More importantly, the instructions on the cards sometimes conflict with the game instructions (e.g. rules say to roll die or take a card. The card that says to use it when you land on a specific type of space. Does that mean you can use the card on a turn where you have already rolled the die? no way to know).

My son played the game for a couple of weeks and then forgot about it.

So, buy this game only if your child is obsessed with Bionicles. For the non-obsessed, this game has little to offer.

My grandson is a huge Bionicles fan and had requested this game. He was slightly disappointed as the game did not present much of a challenge except for the catapult, which was used to hit a target after some of the plays. This in itself was a rather odd addendum to the game board.

This is an excellent game. It lasts for a shorter time than the "Quest for Makuta" game but provides really good entertainment.
