Game Time! A Day With Ziggy Game Review

A Day With Ziggy

Year: 1977

Ages: 7-10

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: Be the first player to get back to start.


Review:
+ If you land on the same space as someone else, the pawns are made so you can literally jump on another pawns head to make it around the board faster.

- Nothing happens. The board is a giant clock where Ziggy's Start and Finish spots are both at 7. Whoever makes it around the board once and lands on Finish first wins. You don't have to collect anything, you don't have any challenges to complete, this game is over within minutes. 
- Even when you land on a Ziggy Card Space, they are unimaginative like "Ziggy slipped on a banana peel. Go back 3 spaces" 




Overall: 
This is the most boring board game I have ever played. Why they suggest the starting age for this board game to be 7 years old is beyond me. This game takes no skill and no strategy. Basically whoever rolls the highest numbers to move the most spaces will win. If this is in fact what A Day With Ziggy would be like, I'd rather watch paint dry.
