 
Classic Parcheesi Board Game
Rating:  -
I bought this game because we are trying to spend more time together as a family and we were getting tired of the games we already had. I remember Parcheesi from when I was a kid, so I thought we would give this version a try. (despite those who said they did not like it)
My kids did have fun with it and we have played it almost every day since we got it two weeks ago. They like the animals and they like the board design, easy to play and understand. Even when there are only two of them playing, they seem to have fun with it. This version seems to go faster than I remember regular Parcheesi... maybe less spaces on the board?? I don't know.
I would even play this version with adults.... not for children only!
We did replace the dice with some we had from another game. Nobody liked the feel of these dice for some reason. Other than that... game on!!

We recently gave away our antique board as a wedding gift, and were missing playing this wonderful game. None of the stores carry it any longer, which is a real shame. I was so happy to find it online!

I think most of the reviewers have described the qualities of this game very well. Having grown up on Sorry! and playing Parcheesi for the first time with my own family, I was very pleasantly surprised. We play a lot of board games and I'm careful to look for games that both my kids (ages 9 & 12) can play and enjoy. This one is perfect and my husband and I like it too. One can strategize like my older child, or just bulldoze ahead like my younger. It's rare to find a game that all ages can truly enjoy together. This one's a winner!

My children are 8 years apart in age.....14 and 6, so finding a game they both like is next to impossible. They both love this game and have played it with their grandmother. They thought it was fun and the only complaint I heard was from my 6 year old who said it took a long time to play. But of course, everything's a long time to a 6 yr old. I think I did well purchasing that one.

A year or two ago a friend gave this board to my mother. She is 88 and has moderate dementia. She loves board games and card games - her favorite was dominoes - but they are harder and harder for her to play if they are at all complicated. Plus the person trying to play with her ends up pretty much wanting to run screaming down the street!
However, this board & animal tokens have made a big difference. She loves the board and always wants to use the water buffalo tokens. This actually helps her remember what to do because it is always the same. I can tolerate many more games with her because we can play little pretend games with the animal tokens during the game. It is also reasonable easy to make sure she wins most of the time.
Anyway, this is a long review but I also found that the kids love it as well. The 5 year old is enchanted with the board/tokens. The 9 yr old is having quite a bit of fun with it. I grew up with the old board and the boring little tokens and this is wonderful in comparison.
