4.0 out of 5 stars From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com, November 29, 2005

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

The concept of this game is silly and fun: each player takes the part of an alien and tries to cross through an ocean on an alien land. The game board is a bit confusing at first (there are often several options of which way a player can go, and players are allowed to move both backwards and forwards), but it makes more sense once you've played the game for a few minutes. In order to make it back out of the alien ocean, the player must collect three fuel cells.

The rules of the game are fairly complex and it will help to go over them a couple of times before attempting to play the game, but the diversity of all of the different rules and parts of the game board will surely keep kids interested. They'll want to play it over and over, and they'll learn while they do it. What more can you ask?

One of the very best features of this game is that all of the science trivia questions come with a full explanation in an accompanying book (The Book of Y). Very cool!
