Okay, so a commercial comes on for Mad Gab....it's a word game. Aly says that would be so much fun.

So I look it up...

This game costs $80!!!! It has 300 game cards, a timer, and a score card. Why in the world does it cost so much??? Any insight???

Okay...that's more reasonable. It was on amazon for $80, but Toys R Us has it for $26.

Did you check Target or Walmart.Why would Amazon charge that much for a game?Video games are usually only 50.Was it an older antique addition or something.$26 seems a little pricey for a game,but it is doable.I would never pay $80 for a board game(although I guess it really isn't a board game)The game does look kind of fun if you had a large group of people.I doubt Dale Gab and I would have fun playing it though.Then again I am not really a board game type of person.Gabby wants the Pictionary game with the little guy you draw on.I doubt she'ss get it,but it looks cute.

The info I gave for it was what the Amazon website stated. And, no, that wasn't video or a special edition.

Wal-mart had it for pennies less than Toys R Us.

When I first saw the price, I was like, WOW! $7.99....that is definitely doable (because I don't intend to buy her anything else for Christmas/birthday).

I've never heard of that game. I'll have to check it on Amazon since I have to go there now to check an order.

I saw the commercial last night after I read your post. Not sure if it would be fun w/out a group playing.

it wouldn't be.

and it took me a long time to figure out the one on the screen..and the answer was right below it (I didn't see the answer until after).

So, it would be like one card would last me hours....lol.

Thats what I thought after seeing the advertisement. I think a group playing would be fun but I'm not too sure how long a group would have to play, I get the impression that it takes time. Either that or we're not to bright. Now theres a thought. lol
