Ravensburger The Wizard of Oz Adventure Book - Family Strategy Board Games for Kids and Adults Age 10 Years Up - 1 to 4 Players

My son thought this were brilliant and has not stopped using them since he had them fir his birthday

Bright colours and quality but not played yet purchased for a 10yr old game that she can play on her own or with others

Brought this as a Christmas present for my niece it was a little challenging to understand how to play but we gave it a go, not sure we play it correctly but it’s fun when you get going.We did check out YouTube tutorials to see if we could understand how to play but still quite complicated. Definitely have to play a few times before it gets easier.

The product page photos do not do this game justice. It's beautiful. It has a wonderful vintage look and feel. This is like something from an old toy shop emporium or maybe you would find it sitting on the book shelf of a kid back in the 1950s. Attention to detail, care, and passion have gone into the entire game. The pieces, the board, the cards are all just as lovely as the box itself and the whole thing oozes charm and quality.This is a cooperative game. Players will have to work together. The board itself is a story book. There are 6 chapters in all. Each board is a chapter. You follow through the story of the Wizard of Oz movie. Each chapter ( board ) is different. There are various quests you need to complete. On the left side of the board it tells you the set up, the rules, and how you win. The right side tells you what you need to do so you win. Think of them as quests. Each chapter has its own characters and quests. I liked that each board was different. It's almost like 6 board games in one.The game took me just over 3 hours to finish. You won't have to complete it all in one go though. You could easily just play one of the chapters and set it all up again or just leave it somewhere on a table and come back to it again. This would be a great game for all the family to play together.I really liked this game, however there are two things I think are important to point out. It's geared toward families and a younger audience. Not that you can't have fun with it ( we did ) and especially if you are fans of the movie but older children might be bored. Secondly I think there isn't that much repeatability. Once the story is done, I'm not sure how much you would want to go back and play it. I don't see it as something you would do over and over. It's more like you play it and maybe some months go past and feel like running through it again.This is a wonderful game ( especially for fans ) it's fun vintage look, quality materials, and interesting game mechanics make it a great buy.

This is a great little board game - my family loved playing it. It took a while to get our heads around it, but when we did it was really good fun.You basically play through six chapter of a book - each chapter has it's own board to play. Throughout each section you have to accomplish missions and challenge. I don't want to reveal too much because a lot of the outcomes depend on what cards you are dealt and half the fun of the game is learning how it works.Its quite competitive but requires team co-operation and it has lots of twists and turns. It took us around two and a half hours to complete it the first time but that's because it was new to us, however you can save your progress, for instance pausing at the end of a chapter, and resume it at a later date.What I like about this game is the replay value - each time you play it, it will have a different outcome.The quality of the book and pieces seem to be good quality and able to withstand lots of use.Overall, this is a great family game that will keep you thoroughly entertained.
