Review: Confusing at first, but fun! - Instead of reading all the rules, just read the reference card. SETUP: Pick a mover, grab a reference card. Put treasure tokens (face up) and cards (face down) beside the board. Place star tokens and corresponding doors on the board in locked position. Stars face up. HOW TO PLAY: Roll dice, do action or pick up token if there is one. Move the dragon (follow the blue or yellow path based on the dice color.) Dragon doesn’t affect tokens. For actions: Other person asks a pick your adventure card - the magic 8 ball determines the outcome. (Only do one card per turn.) If you get the crystal, hold on to it and take it to the tower asap. Shake the ball to see if you can store it there. If the dragon hits you, lose a heart. If you find a crystal, increase the dragons speed (one per crystal.) You win by getting all 4 crystals to the towers. You unlock a door by landing on a tile next to it and asking the 8 ball if you can unlock it. REVIEW: 8 Ball is a bit difficult to read, cards may have difficult vocabulary for younger kids. The game is a bit complicated the first play around. This is still a fun, dynamic game that is unique for younger players. I would definitely still recommend this.
Review: Solves problems (Financial Investments, Lunch, Love Life) with ease! - For the past several years, I have turned to this durable, well-made Magic 8 Ball in lieu of making my own life decisions. I am confident that if you follow this same way of life, you will experience the same level of success and happiness that I have. Here are some examples of how I have benefited from taking all of my advice solely from a liquid-filled plastic ball. -Before making any financial investments, I ask the Magic 8 Ball if the company will be strong in the future. I have yet to make any money, but at least I can blame the Magic 8 Ball if I lost my life savings. -Every day at lunch, I read the menu aloud and ask the Magic 8 Ball if I want any of the items; I have never regretted my order, though I often end up eating an appetizer or dessert as my main course, depending on what end of the menu I started with. -I met a girl and asked the Magic 8 Ball if I should ask her out. Now I'm married. Also, here are some little known Magic 8 Ball facts: -Harry Potter's scar and abilities actually came from an incident in which a Magic 8 Ball rolled out of a 3rd story window and hit him in the head. -The majority of Einstein's theorems were based on his work with the Magic 8 ball. -Neil Armstrong's quote "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" was actually in reference to the invention of the Magic 8 Ball. -For you twilight fans, Bella ended up with Edward because Edward had the sense to ask the Magic 8 Ball for advice, while Jacob's Magic 8 Ball was stuck in his pocket after he transmuted into a wolf and left his shredded clothes behind. -Darth Vader wasn't sure about Luke being his son, so he asked the Magic 8 ball. Fact: Magic 8 Ball > The Force -George Washington once asked the Magic 8 ball, "Should I lead a Continental Army in revolution against the British", and the Magic 8 Ball Replied, "Without a doubt". It is said that Washington then asked the ball, "Are you sure?", and the ball replied with an unusual, "I cannot tell a lie". Some believe Washington stole this quote from the Magic 8 Ball, but the ball didn't mind, because it's sole purpose is to help people in difficult situations. -Like Batman, this is the 8 Ball we deserve, but it is sometimes not the 8 ball we need right now. This is primarily the case when attempting to play a game of pool. (Side note: If two-face used the Magic 8 Ball instead of flipping a coin, he would be decidedly less evil, probably because it is relatively easier to use). -In the original scene of a A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson is actually holding a Magic 8 Ball when shouting "You Can't Handle the Truth!!". He may have been right, but the truth is what you get when you use the Magic 8 Ball, regardless of whether you can handle it. It's not all cupcakes and unicorns though- there are times when you might not want the Magic 8 Ball to advise you. Here are some anecdotes to illustrate the problem: -My friend got drunk and asked the Magic 8 Ball if he should pee on his ex-girlfriend's doorstep. Now he is a registered sex offender. -Someone somewhere asked the Magic 8 Ball if he should join a gang. That guy is now asking the Magic 8 Ball whether he should trade cigarettes for some soap on a rope for the prison shower. -On Thanksgiving, I asked the Magic 8 Ball if the Turkey was done and it said, "Ask again later". I waited too long to ask again, and ended up with a dry turkey. -It is probable that Magic 8 Ball overutilization led to the economic crisis of 2008. This might be because the Magic 8 Ball never attended business school. Also, A couple of notes for using the Magic 8 Ball: *It is significantly larger than a normal 8 ball, and would make a lousy substitution for a game of pool. *Though you might be tempted to take it with you, I suggest leaving the Magic 8 Ball at home when you go to Vegas. Or maybe you should take it with you- honestly, what's the worst that could happen? *Don't attempt to drink the blue liquid it is filled with- I don't know what that is. *It is unfair to the throw the Magic 8 Ball just because you don't like the answer it gives you. Honestly, that's just immature. Its not like the ball hunted you down and forced you to ask it a question. You're the one who asked the question, M8B is just telling it like it is! *The Magic 8 Ball makes a lousy gift for dogs- its not that the Magic 8 Ball doesn't answer their questions, they just lack the requisite patience to wait for the answer to their first question before shaking the ball again. Talk about getting mixed signals...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much fun!
*by M***E on September 26, 2024*

Our family loves this game! My husband and I play it with our 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son, and all 4 of us enjoy it immensely. There is quite a bit of strategy involved, and we love that it is a cooperative game so we all have to strategize together to win. All pieces are gorgeous and high quality, and we love that the characters we play are animals. The magic 8 ball also gets lots of use during gameplay, which we all enjoyed! I can’t recommend this game enough!
