Okay, first let me say I am all for games that reinforce learning and manners and sharing. That said, I have never seen or heard of this game, but something about it bothers me.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it seems like a metaphor for today’s culture that believes living on welfare is okay. I am all for people getting a hand up, and teaching a man to fish; I am not okay with socialist ideology permeating so far into our society that it is now in children’s games. It smacks too much of the Communist redistribution of wealth to me.
Again, I know it is a child’s game, and words like socialist and communist are rather harsh.
It’s just what immediately popped into my mind upon reading the description, and made me extremely uncomfortable.

Don’t ever play a board or card game with me and my friends! lmao – we throw rules out the window willy nilly, and cheat and make up new rules, essentially so we can all win – rummy, oh yeah my bestie and I are pros, at “psstt… which card do you need???” and on and on it goes… haha
Sounds like a fun game though!

I received the Noodleboro Pizza game, which teaches listening. It’s fun so far, but I don’t know if there’s any miracle cure for teaching kids to listen. I think the thing that works best is to actually, genuinely listen to your kids. That’s why we sometimes reverse the roles when we play. I have to be the listener, and listen to them! I think that kids learn so much by watching their parents!!

You know…I like having a winner. Doesn’t always have to be the same winner, but a winner! I think I’ll stick to monopoly;)

I *love* the idea of a game that teaches listening (as opposed to selective hearing!). I can’t help but wonder how does it work though?

Smack talking will never go out of style!
It’s part of the fun to me!
I was a little concerned when I read your line about “there’s no winner.” For a minute I was afraid it was going to be one of those “everybody gets a trophy” type things. But upon reading your description it sounds like a great game to get kids aware of sharing. Might have to try this one out when it comes to stores. Thanks!

Oh, we have a family whose members range from “I want it all, all, I tell ya!” to “Do you need that property? I’ll give it to you—call it an early birthday present. Do you need some money too?” So it could be therapeutic to some! We have plenty of Hasbro in Canada, so I’ll keep my eyes open!
Thanks!

I just discovered this site and I had just put up an entry in my Things I Love category so I thought I’d participate.
And no, I don’t live in the country but I do live in eastern Kansas where we have rolling hills, sunflowers and barns in the rural areas I drive when going to see my parents or my son.

I received this game for review also and I was pretty happy with it. I can’t wait to play the other ones that are going to be available.
