Game Time! Disney's Ducktales Game Review

Disney's Ducktales Game

Year: 1989

Ages: 6-10

Players: 2-4 (For the purpose of this review, there were 2 players)

Set Up Time: 1 minute

Playing Time: Took us 4 minutes.

Object: Collect the gold treasure and be the first to escape from the island.

Review:
+ Although I consider it a positive that in addition to moving the number of spaces you've rolled on your dice, you also get to move one of three bad guys the same number of spaces to catch your opponent. Unfortunately the downside is that from Start to where the treasure space is, you don't have to pass the spots where the bad guys are located. So it's easy to go from start, get to the treasure and head to the helicopter spot without having to pass any bad guys. 




- Took us longer to read all the instructions than it did to play the game.
- Too easy. In a game that says it's age range is 6-10, this game was just too simple. Aside from walking your player to the treasure space and then walking them to the helicopter space, nothing else happens.

Overall:
I'm not sure that even as a kid I would have liked this game. There is a lot of things that could have been improved on by having the board with one path that everyone has to follow instead of multiple "choose your own" paths where you can clearly avoid the bad guys and make it from start to the treasure to the helicopter in less time then it takes you to read all the instructions.
