A great game of fun and suspense! June 23, 2008
This is a grossly under-priced game which will mislead many into thinking that this might not be such a great game. As a games' collector, believe it or not, I can tell you that this is the sort of game that would have retailed at around 19.99p almost twenty years ago!
This game is fun. Each player has to move his 'Jack' character up a beanstalk twenty places (denoted by plastic leaves) This is not as easy as it sounds - not when the giant has a tendency to 'drop' his 'bean' through a hole at the top and through a white cloud which sends it hurtling down through the insides of the beanstalk; the leaves you are hanging onto for dear life begin to 'shake' as a result! Then, as if that's not enough; the whole beanstalk begins to twirl and 'quake' to finish off! If you're still hanging onto your leaf at the end of all this, then you're pretty lucky! The really great thing about this game is, that it's so unpredictable, because it is amazing how easy you can fall off some times, but then equally amazing as to how you find yourself still hanging on at others!
An extremely well-made game with a battery component (which are always more exciting and interesting for kids) There's a delightful video of the Ad. for this game at the 'Drummond Park' Site for those who would like to see before purchasing.
My only criticism, is the brevity of the rules, and particularly the setting-up instructions - they look as though they have been 'rushed'. We took ages setting the game up, because the illustrations are not good, and they lack any detailed guidance on assembly. As a result, we fitted the giant on his cloud the wrong way round, (because there is no-where that tells you which way is right - either in the diagrams and the lack of any markings on the plastic) but don't despair!
A great game of suspense and well worth the money!
