Game Time! Beetlejuice Bone To Pick Game Review

Beetlejuice Bone To Pick Game Review

Year: 1990

Ages: 5+

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

Set Up Time: 2 minutes.

Playing Time: Took us 5 minutes.

Object: See how many bones you can balance on Beetlejuice without causing them to spill.

Review:
+ Creative. Instead of another board game this is a 3D plastic stand up game that balances so when you spin the spinner it tells you what size of bone to place on what color dish that Beetlejuice is holding.
+ Kids would really enjoy this game because what kind of kid wouldn't enjoy watching Beetlejuice drop everything he's holding while his head spins around.
+ Spinner has easy to read colors and shapes for young children to understand.

- If Beetlejuice or the stand that holds him up gets broken, there would be no way to play this game.
- You need a very soft touch when placing the bones on the dishes and the dishes are pretty small so sometimes he will lose his balance just by badly placing a larger bone on a dish.



Overall:
This was a new and creative take instead of having another game with a board. If Beetlejuice and his stand are in good working order than this game will be easy to set up. However, if some of the pieces are broken or missing, this game may not be playable at all. The spinner clearly shows colors and sizes of bones to make it really easy for younger players to be able to play as well. Although the game playing time didn't take to long, I always enjoy watching Beetlejuice's head spin around and all the bones drop from the plates when he loses his balance.
