4.0 out of 5 stars FUN and funny but a bit difficult for littles...., November 16, 2009

this game kept my 6 y/o and 7 y/o laughing and playing for a solid hour. be advised it is VERY difficult to actually catch the little whirly gigs, but if your kids are not sensitive to such failures, they'll love it. and if they are, maybe you should buy this so they can learn that you can't ALWAYS get what you want, and you can't always win! there is a defo height advantage, since the tallest kid can reach above the shortest, but mine are the same height so no worries for us. however, dad kept catching them!!

sometimes the little circles get stuck...just wiggle the "flying saucer" and they un-stick.

the outer space music adds to the fun, it makes the kids giggle and is a good warning that the spinners are coming out. don't put it near a fence, they could go over it to the neighbor's yard!

fun fun fun!!

All the discs go into a compartment and then spins into the air. It comes down kind of in slow motion.

It is one of those fun non competitive games. I have two complaints. We've had to return one already after a few minutes of play. It wouldn't get the disc into the other well to spin. (It might've been handled roughly while putting the unit on the floor.) I hope this next one lasts longer. It would be nice if the box was designed to store the game more easily. All in all it is fun!

Edited to say (5/2010): We still love playing this, but one of the catchers have fallen apart (possibly due to my 20 mo). We have also had to order more discs because they keep disappearing! I believe the discs were $2 for a set of 16 which is reasonable, but shipping was $5! Overall, we are still happy.

I bought this game on a whim for a family reunion. The kids had nothing to do so I went to a store and bought this. No, I didn't buy it from amazon. Not only did the kids enjoy it but the adults, as well. Who would have known? It came be somewhat difficult but it wouldn't be fun without some challenge. I would recommend this game and I don't regret buying it at all.
