Quantity over Quality
My family loves a good game night and we were over the moon to give the 10 game classics set a try. I love how there are so many activities to choose from, which gave my kiddos the opportunity to learn some new games thanks to this set. The praise somewhat stops there, however, because the craftsmanship and quality with this set were found lacking. The first game we attempted was manacala (a family favorite), but we found the pieces too small to play with and adequately keep up with. It turned what would have been an otherwise pleasant gaming experience into a bumbling mess. We also found the directions on some of the activities to be lacking in clarity in parts. The pieces to the other games were a little easier to manipulate but were still not as sturdy as pieces that would be found in other game sets. We enjoyed getting to learn some new games from the set, but at the end of the day our overall take on the 10 game set was that quality was sacrificed for the sake of quantity.
Quality Board and Fun
I am very pleased with this 10 game board set. The games are easy to play with the included instructions and tons of fun. There is everything from individual games to games the whole family can play. My expectations were exceeded by this game set!
Fun Family Games for All Ages
My family is really enjoying this Family 10 Game Set which includes many classic and fun games such as chess, checkers, Chinese checkers, tic tac toe, pick up sticks, and backgammon. It also has some other classic games we've never tried before and are having fun playing (I'm determined to reach "genius" level on Insanity!)
The wooden storage case is really nice! I love the durability and the ability to store all game pieces inside. There are two improvements I'd love to see, however. The game pieces are made of a light plastic material, which makes them slide around too easily on the game board. I would love to see sturdier wooden pieces included with the game. I would also love to have a storage bin inside that can separate the pieces for each game, making it easier to use. Overall, we're really enjoying these classic games and love the addition to family game time.
Prefect for Family game nights!
We rarely do family games nights anymore and was really excited to play this with the kids. They absolutely love it because its a few games in one, and can all take turns picking which game they want to play after the other is done! And typically we are done by round two, but this will keep the whole family want to keep going because obviously we all want a turn to pick the game we want =)
Had a blast
My kids love the fact u could play different games, i love the family inner action & just a good fun family game night. If you looking for something to speed ur time this the game for you.
10 rounds of fun!
I received the Family 10 Game Set from Spin Master free in exchange for my opinion. My family really enjoyed the mixture of the games in the set. There is something for everyone. You could easily play with this set for hours. As a parent, I really enjoyed teaching my kiddo some of the games I played as a kid and also learning some new ones! 10/10
Great family game
My family and I really liked the games. It was so much fun trying out different ones. My son enjoyed it when he and I payed chess. We had snacks and played the games. It was very nice to get together with the family and have been able to spend time with my family. We took a while to figure out the games we never played or tried. I definitely recommend it for family and anyone because it's great to learn new things and expand your knowledge.
Spinmaster 10 Classic Games Set
My family and I received this family game set, which consists of miniature game pieces, reversible game board, and a convenient wood box. First the pros. The idea to have 10 games in a wooden box which looks appealing on the coffee table is clever and convenient. We have played all the games but it was helpful to have an instruction booklet included with illustrations. We actually put the box on a lazy susan so all of us could play together. Loved having the ability to play more than 1 game and having all pieces located in the box. Easy to take on trips and keep kids busy. In fact, we will be bringing this on an upcoming trip to the lake. Some cons. There was a strong chemical smell as soon as we opened the box. While made of wood, whatever it is coated in, puts out a strong odor and it lasts for a few days. The mini game pieces are too small for some of the games. The chess, checker, pick up stix, Chinese marbles game pieces were adequate. However, playing mancala was frustrating with the tiny pieces and small game area, particularly for adult hands. Overall, I would definitely use this game board on trips, at the cabin, beach house, etc., since it contains all the games we are familiar with and is compact.
