The Jokers Funhouse Game



Yes, they still make board games.  This one is great..  Up to 5 people can play, but you are fine with two.

The object of the game is to be the first to the finish, if your the superheroes.  Someone gets to play as the Joker.  The jokes needs to escape before all the Superheros finish to win.

The play is simple.  For Superheroes you spin the wheel and move to the next appropriate color panel on the board.  If you land on a square marked "Power"  you can activate you super powers.  Batman has a Bat Launcher, which he can shoot at the Joker to know him down, thus starting him at square one.  Superman has X-Ray Vision, which is actually X-Ray mask you wear so you can see what the Jokers cards are (More of that in a minute) and you get to take one away.  The Flash gets to advance to the next "Power" square as he has super speed.  And finally The Green Lantern can put up a green power block.

The Joker player get to spin his color wheel.  He is given 3 choices depending on where he lands.  He can advance 1 space (Joker has to advance 10 spaces to win).  Select a Present Card which he can then move what ever the cards corresponding spaces are.  Or he gets my sons favorite a rubber ball, which he can roll at the heroes.  If the hero is knocked down they have to start back at the beginning.

Average game takes about 10 minutes to complete.  The game retails for $19.99 and is a lot of fun.  Parents beware, you child will want to play this for hours on end the first day, and even a superhero fan like myself got board after about an hour.  It does hold up as my son has had his for a few months now, and still plays it on a daily basis.  So you will get your moneys worth.  My son is 3yrs and he can play just fine.  So as long as you little one knows there colors they will be fine, and they will have fun.

Overall 5 out of 5 stars!
