5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for girls AND their moms!, February 8, 2008

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I had this game when I was a kid and it has appeared and disappeared in all the years since. Now that I am a (pretty old) mom of girls ten and seven, I was excited to see it rereleased, and though the graphics are 1960s vintage, my girls LOVE it, and so do I! The board is fun and nicely designed. Every space has an instruction or message, with detours for school, boyfriends/dates, odd jobs to earn money, school clubs, shopping, etc. In addition there are surprise cards, money, and cards with the boyfriends, dresses and schools clubs you acquire. There are plenty of random events as well as chances to choose, so it is a game of luck and skill. There are opportunities to use basic arithmetic and intermediate reading skills, as well as strategy, but non-readers can play it with mom or older siblings without detriment to the game. My ten-year-old even played it with a manly but non-sexist 5-year-old boy and they had a blast!

A friend of mine had her mother's original 1961 version of this game. We would play it every time I visited her house. I found this version a couple of years ago. My daughter loves to play it now. It is is a fun, classic board game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Day & The Barbie Game, January 13, 2008

By	E . Jhaynes "EJG" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I played this game with my five year old niece on Christmas Day '07.
It was the highlight of the day.
She opened it & wanted to play it immediately!
I'd played it approximately 30+ years ago & had remembered it very well
as a very fun game.
My niece was immediately learning math,
dealing with the harsh reality :) of not having enough money for
the exact dress she wanted to buy & waiting til she earned more money.
The funniest part that we still talk about was that she was NOT amused that she ended up with "boyfriend" Poindexter (a boy with light orange hair & small eyes).She wanted Ken. Ahem. My disclaimer would be..that you'd have to have a talk with the players that you don't have to have a boyfriend in real life in order to win the game of life..but in this game it is required before winning. It's a very fun game.. a replica of the original.
