Grandparents need to have gifts when they visit the grandkids. This is a terrific choice. We brought it to one family with 2 kids at the low end of the posted age group for this toy. It was a big hit and the 17-year-old was playing with it as well. Then we visited another family with three boys 2, 7, and 9. Again a big hit but we should have brought three because the 2-year-old, while he couldn’t yet play the games, was entranced. It took a little time to figure out the games as the directions aren’t necessarily written to keep a kid’s attention span, but Grandpa enjoyed showing them how to use it. Pro tip: bring batteries!

I bought it as a gift for my kids to share as I usually do have one game as a family gift. My nephew brought batteries over when he came for Christmas dinner and he helped them get it going while I was busy with other things. 10 minutes later my daughter comes screaming about the BEST GIFT EVER! Followed by her brother with the exact same review. I didn’t hear any gameplay from the toy itself just the kids laughing and enjoying the gift. Worth its weight in gold!
