Dora the Explorer Press-o-Matic Ludo product reviews

This is a simple and fun game for all the family. Based on the popular character Dora Explorer, this is a remake of a classic boardgame played by many of us as children. I love the simplicity of this game and the fact that you cant lose the dice. This has long been a favourite rainy day activity to play with the younger children in our house. The easy to move colored counters are great for small fingers and you have the added bonus of teaching little ones to count. A great family favourite and a game that will be enjoyed for many years.

This was, even for an old lad like me, still a lot of fun to play... harkening back to simpler days, when 'a good night' was sitting at home with family, playing a card or boardgame together... not staring blankly at a TV screen, or out at the pub getting rat-faced. This is a game for the family that has young kids...

My son and I whiled away a good 3 hours in a single afternoon playing this game... I recall playing it in my youth, and so it was wonderful to share this classic game with another subsequent generation. Simple and easy to use, the Press-o-Matic dice unit ensures that no matter what level of dexterity the player has, the die will always be rolled, and will always remain visible... so no more crawling around on hands and knees under the table trying to find it.

Overall, a wonderful game that has stood the test of time, with a 'skin' that appeals to the youngest family members, giving them something to relate to and thus increasing their enjoyment. The basic strategy of the game will challenge them, helping to expand their minds beyond "here/now/me" . The price is very reasonable for what you get. One little thing to watch out for... coloured pegs sitting in the Home Line positions nearest the Press-o-Matic have a tendancy to leap out on a 'roll' if you play on a non-solid or unstable surface, such as a bed or lap. Keep that in mind, as I managed to lose a red peg on the very first game, and so are limited to 3 players at present.
