Editorial Review

Furrowed brows and hearty laughter are the most likely outcome of this fun but challenging game from Game Development Group. Just like its elder edition, the object of Stare! Junior is to be the first to reach the end of the game board. "Been there, done that," you're thinking? But in this game, looking hard and paying attention to detail are two things that will help players move forward. Individuals or teams stare at an image on a card for 30 seconds (more challenging games can be played by shortening the time) and then answer questions about what they saw. It's not easy--just try to remember what color socks the person next to you on the bus was wearing this morning, or how many people were reading magazines. Of course, you weren't staring... --Rachel Radway

Product Description

Kids can test and train their visual memory skills and have a blast doing it. In Stare! Junior - the game - players have 30 seconds to stare at an image on a card. Images are varied and fun for kids to look at. It might be a movie poster, funny photo, comic, work of art and more. When time is up, an opponent will flip over the card and ask the player a series of questions about the image to see how much they can recall. What was the clown holding in his left hand? What color was the girl's hat? Guess right and advance on the game board. Kids can play individually or on teams. The revised Second Edition includes larger image cards containing all new images and questions! Includes 960 questions on 160 image cards, game board, sand timer, playing pieces, die, and instruction sheet.

My kids (aged 6,7 and 11 - two boys, one girl) really love this game. They've had it for a while now and they're still at it constantly. I can see what they find so addictive. First you have the cards themselves, which are wide-ranging in terms of content, not to mention very fun to look at (they'll be staring at them long after the game is over!). The questions are well thought out and easy to understand and there's a nice balance of direct, multiple choice and true/false questions. I particularly like the fact that they get the chance to strain their brains and senses, instead of just their eyesight in front of the TV! I highly recommend this game.

If you think you'll get ill playing yet another game of Chuts and Ladders, Monopoly or Candyland, here's a pleasant change of pace - a game ADULTS and CHILDREN can enjoy. I absolutely love this game and so does my son because it is challenging for both of us. If your child has a hard time playing this game solo, it can be played in teams and the questions are just hard enough to keep kids on the ball without being too hard. It is also fast-paced and doesn't drag like so many games can. Best of all, it is good for children from 6 to 12 (and even older) so it will last for some time before the interest wears out.

I have the adult version of this game and so I already knew it was a fun game to play. The kids version appears to be just as popular (if you judge by the reaction of my three). The great thing about this game is that both young and older kids can play together (just give the younger kids a longer time to stare at the image card). The object of the game is to stare at the image and recall as much as possible before time runs out. Correctly answered questions about the image are rewarded by advancing on the gameboard. The images are great fun to look at - comic book covers, teddy bear scenes, cartoons and much more. Not only fun to play, the game tests visual recall and reading skills to boot. Best of all, it managed to keep a rather large gathering of neighborhood kids completely entertained - a great feat! I would definitly make sure this game is a permanent part of your game closet.
