This game is simply great fun. We have just about every kids game under the sun in our house and it seems that most of the games have been around since I was a kid. This is a truly new and fun game. The surprise is simply brilliant and the motion is fantastic. One of the best things about this game is that my kids love it and play it for hours on end. They will play this game on their own repeatedly, for much longer than any other game in the house.

My 3 yr old son loves this game. Everytime he saw the commercial he would call me over and say he wanted it. At first I thought it was going to be a hunk of junk like most others. Boy was I wrong. I took it out of the box and we have been playing it ever since. He gets so excited when you have to press the button to release Capt Bones. Definitely buy this game you and yours will have so much fun with it.

We bought this game for our 4 year old son, he loves games but tends to lose interest in them quickly, this was not the case with this game! The premise is simple, you are trying to remove captain bones gold from the island, by spinning an anchor and moving the number of spaces indicated, after each round you press an island monkey down and captain bones awakens from his hiding place popping up from the treasure chest and spinning around before reaching out to snatch a random players gold, this is all done magnetically and even for a parent it is fun to watch, for the kids however, this is PURE MAGIC!
My four year old laughs and laughs when the gold gets stolen and has really helped to reinforce the normally abstract concept of numbers. Even my nine year old is willing to play this game, this is no small feat considering the last thing a pre-tween wants to do is hang out with a 4 year old!!!
Since buying this game a month ago I have bought it 3 more times as a gift, every parent who receives it inevitability calls me in a week or less to thank me again and tell me what a find this game is! 5 stars is simply not enough!
