Fun game to add to game night! Rules took a little bit to figure out but we had a blast with each mini game!

As a hobby board gamer, I picked this up just out of curiosity and love of the show.First few games you play are a lot of fun. I think it fizzled some once you get to the glass bridge. The last game, “Squid Game”, is not very good.I have about a half dozen plays in. It now will probably sit on the shelf.Also if you can, pick up a couple of real marbles. The punch outs are horrible.

The nice game

I was quite shocked to find this game, I never would have expected this show to become a board game, but here we are.The game consists of the 6 games from the show: Red Light Green Light, The Sugar Honeycomb game, Tug of War, Marbles, Glass Bridge and of course the game the show was named for, Squid Game. Each player has a team of 12 player tokens and the goal is to get one of their tokens to win the final game. Just like in the TV show, attrition of players is really high.You start this game with 7 of your 12 tokens, with 5 in reserve. After each mini-game you will recruit one of your reserve players to join the team, in this fashion even if one mini-game completely wipes out your team, you still have a team member to play the next mini-game.The mini-games themselves are pretty straightforward. Each player has a deck of cards specific to the game being played with various options they could use for the round, after all players have made their choice, the cards are revealed and the action of the "game" occurs, usually resulting in the loss of 1 or more tokens! Several of the games are kinda like rock/paper/scissors against your opponents, a couple of games are press your luck. There is a little bit of strategy that you can use, but a good portion of this game is going to come down to luck.Considering the violent nature of the TV show, this game actually does a pretty good job of abstracting the violence away, even tho you know most of your players are going to get converted to money in the piggy bank.The game is a fun little diversion for fans of the show. If you are not a fan of the TV show, then you will probably not get a lot out of this game, but if you have a group of friends who are a fan of the show, it is a fun little game that is not too heavy.

Haven’t played it but seems fun

Kind of boring.

I bought this last year as a gift and all was good

The instructions are very difficult to understand so you have to make up your own rules.
