Ice Age: The DVD Game Decide Now


We ordered this after reading the 5 star reviews. We probably should have taken a closer look at the description. We really thought this would be more of a trivia type game, since it is made by the Scene-it company, but there is no trivia at all. You could replace the video clips and game pieces with some other theme and it wouldn't alter the game at all. OK for 4-7 year olds, but my wife and I were getting tired of it about halfway through the first sitting. From now on our kids can play this on their own.

Quick description:

The objective is to collect 4 acorns that are your color (the space you start from). At the beginning of each turn, you get to turn over a tile, revealing an acorn or a blank tile. You move around the board collecting your acorns as they become available. The number of spaces you are allowed to move is determined by the DVD portion of the game. There are 8 mini-games that you play (like acorns under a shell that you have to follow with your eyes). Some of the games require skill, and some are pure luck (like a Plinko-type game). The results of the each game will let you move 1, 2, or 3 spaces. Each mini-game is proceeded by one of eight video clips from the movie. You end up seeing the same clips several times during each game.Get more detail about Ice Age: The DVD Game.
