We love the Wiggles but this game's design is truly horrific. Before you can even play ten sets of cards have to be sorted into piles. The sorting is more educational than the game itself. The activities are almost too easy even for a pre-reader but you cannot play this game unless you are a reader or are playing with one. This game is way too easy for the recommended six to ten year olds. (eg: "Name something red") The instructions make no sense and the progress of the game is dreadfully slow. Just stay away from this game! Even the most ardent Wiggles fans will be bored. And parents - you will be haunted by the memory of being dragged into playing this game for a long time....

I have already played this game once with my Mom and we were the characters called, Greg and Dorothy.

My own favorite part of playing The Wiggles Board Game was performing each song correctly then I would move ahead one space. Whenever you pick up a character card-like Captain Feathersword, it will tell you to dance like a pirate along with learning to copy his voice. I sure loved pretending to be Greg on the game board.

Purchased this game for my 2 1/2 year old. He loves the wiggles and requested it from the Easter Bunny. However, be aware when buying used. I purchased this used w/ the seller stating the box had some "wear". When I received it, one entire corner had previously been crushed and ripped and badly taped over, it looked terrible. I guess one's person's description of "worn" is different than anothers. In addition, the game is very educational and my son loves to play it.

I bought this for my son when he was almost 3. We play it as a family all of the time! You do have to be able to read, but he is able to do all the activities that the cards ask. He loves this game.

We bought this for our son, because he loves Wiggles and it ended up being over involved for anyone of any age. There is one set of cards that you use for whether you go so many forward or backwards. Then there are over 10 things you can land on (few blank spaces) and they each have a set of cards for the space that you put in different piles. It becomes a headache in the end for any parent. My son did enjoy it, but he didn't really learn that much from it. If you're looking for your child to learn from a game this is not the game to get. And if you want something less involved I would suggest getting something else.
