Decent game for young kids - Mostly luck with an ounce of strategy Nov 22, 2011
By Sapere Aude
My 6 year old son got this as an early Christmas present.
HOW IT WORKS:
The game as two sets of cards, the power cards and the structure cards. Each person draws 6 structure cards and chooses how to line them up in a stack and each person starts with two power cards. On your turn you roll the dice, you need to roll the bird on the structure card at the bottom of your stack to remove it (knock it out). The structure cards are either a bird or a pig. If its a bird you have to roll the color of the bird on one of the dice. If its a pig you have to roll two of the same color bird. The dice have 5 different colored birds and a wild side with all the birds on them. If you fail to knock out a structure you get to take a power card. The power cards let you either give the opponent one of your pig cards, make the opponent take a new structure card or force a re-roll (either for you or your opponent). When a person knocks out all their structure cards they then get a chance to try to knock down the cardboard standup pig by flicking the dice at it. The first person to knock the pig down wins.
PROS:
Once you get through the slight complexities of the rules, the game is a fairly simple one. There isn't a lot of strategy, so my 6 year old was able to play with no problem. It's mostly lucky, with some strategy around when you play the power cards.
CONS:
There isn't much here that is going to occupy an older child or adult. Also, knocking down the pig is fairly simple for someone older and more coordinated but much harder for a younger child, so this somewhat unbalances the game in the favor of the older children if you have very varied ages. One solution is to let the younger child put the pig closer.
OVERALL:
Not the most innovative or captivating game I've played, but I was pleased to find it wasn't just angry birds slapped on an existing game. It is different and my son really seemed to like it. My son took extra special glee in forcing me to re-roll when I had rolled to knock out my last structure card. I would say this game is best for ages 5-10.

Angry Birds - Easy to play! Aug 08, 2011
By Carolyn D. Bodin
"Kindlette"
I got this game because my grandkids (ages 10,9 & 7)enjoy Angry Birds on the cell phone. It is easy to play but I didn't think there was much to it. You place your cards in order, then throw the dice to remove the cards. Extra cards allow you to add more plays to your opponents. To win, you must flick one die at the pig to knock him over. Our first game was over so quickly that I was a little let down. But the kids LOVED it. They played over and over again.

Fun for a game lover! Aug 24, 2011
By Matthew Gilliam
We play games in my family every Thursday night and recently since Angry Birds has become so popular I had to get this when I saw it on Amazon. We played it the night we received it in the mail and had a blast. The games tend to go really quick so it seems you are doing more setting up then actually playing. Overall, I would recommend this to any game enthusiasts who are just looking for something different and wanna have some laughs!

 Fun for Angry Birds Fans Aug 17, 2011
By E. Kennedy
I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like the Angry Birds. For those who want to play the same idea on a different platform this is great. Plus it's good if your phones dead!

More fun than we thought it would be Sep 24, 2011

Purchased this for my son's 5th birthday. What a nice surprise - it's fun for the whole family to play. Note that it's a little tough to learn for the little ones, but with parents involved, really enjoyable.
