Who it's for

Children from five and mixed family rounds of four or five who like a bit of theatrical menace.

Not for you if…

You want fairness or control. The spinner decides almost everything, being frogged repeatedly frustrates sensitive children, and there is nothing here for adults playing on their own.

Vibe's take

Wide eyes around the spinner, then delighted outrage when it lands on someone's figure.

About this game

The wicked witch has stolen the wizard Mago Magino's crystals, and the children set out to get them back. A spinner shaped like the witch decides whether you advance or get turned into a frog for a while.
