Game Time! The Wizard of Oz Board Game Review

The Wizard of Oz Game

Year: 1974

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

Set Up Time: 1 minute

Playing Time: Took us 15 minutes

Object: Arrive "Home" with the Magic Card in hand.

Review:
+ I love that the game features the whole plot of the movie in sections. If you'd never seen Wizard of Oz, you would still know all the major points from the movie to play the game.
+ You get to play as your favorite character.

- Too many spaces on the board. In fact there are so many spaces on the board that one spaces says "Go back 15 spaces" which in normal games would pretty much takes you back to start but in this game takes you less than half a board back.
- Aside from constantly "taking" or "giving back" the Magic Card (depending on which space you land), you pretty much are just flicking the spinner and racing to the finish line.

Overall:
This game took 15 minutes to play and was pretty much 15 minutes of boredom. Aside from the "go back (a certain number of spaces)", and the constant taking of the magic card and giving it back, there is not enough to keep players interested in playing.
