Beautiful, imaginative play for the family

If you want to know, given the very different reviews here on Amazon, as you'll find the game you just have to think about how you (as a parent) to deal with the tiptoi:

- Do you think that is tiptoi a parent substitute, you it gives the children alone in the hand and makes this yourself deal with it? Then the game will be a letdown. Your children will thus not cope. All will be frustrated. Hands off!

- Do you love games with joint discussions, discover like with your children unknown, so you can share the tiptoi products with your kids and look forward together to surprises? Then you'll love the game! Buy recommendation!

The game is very nicely decorated: beautiful game board, cute toy figures made of wood, great Hexenwald noise. A joy is already to discover the pitch like a tiptoi book outside the game mode by simply tapping.

The game manual is for average parents to understand easily. They do not need to thoroughly read anyway because of tiptoi even a declaration Game (Tutorial) offers and explain every single train. The most important thing you know then already. Only then should you my opinion once briefly look into the manual to learn more than all the rules.

It is true that the rules for 7-year-olds are still too heavy. But if you play the game together and the kids advises on the actions, all get along and understand the processes increasingly better. Then there will be a nice challenge for concentration, memory retention and strategic thinking of the children.

We now have many times played the game and all - children, adults and visitors - are enthusiastic about it. By tiptoi it always comes back to surprising events: You come across fairies, wise owls, dwarfs or trolls. The witch flying on other fields, thus creating a new game situation. Toll is also the idea that the order to turn one is not, but according to the duration of the selected action: Those who choose a long way, have to wait a little longer. This means that all players in the matter, because everyone can be tuned in the next train.

Criticism of this idea with the order thus shows only that the basic idea of ​​the game was not understood; the criticism is unwarranted! The other criticisms are not to be taken seriously:
- Of course you can interrupt the tiptoi if you already know which statements and does not want to hear the end. You have to tap on the red box with the white arrows. Nobody has so bored sitting around and waiting.
- If the figures have fallen accidentally or incorrectly and no longer match the tiptoi, there are three different fields that you just have to tap only to be told where the witches, goblins and their own character stand straight , In the instructions - just have a look! No one has to cancel the game because of this.
- The game also takes less than two hours, at least if all players focus on supplying only a witch until it has received all of the ingredients and the game is finished. That is in the hands of the player! If you notice as a parent, that the concentration of children wears off (not yet happened with us), we can thus speed up the game play accordingly.

As suggestions for improvement, we only:
- A correction option, if you look at (eg on the number pad.) Has a mistake or accidentally touched something. So it would have a field "Undo" or similar type, which allows you to repeat or correct a choice;
- The choice by tapping should already be possible during tiptoi announcement, that one should not wait until the end of the statement or to cancel them, but already during the announcement (eg "How many goblins you want to send?".) can tap the check box, so that the announcement ends automatically and the selection is confirmed;
- The (short) standard announcements of tiptoi ("player red", "This completes your train." Etc.) may be varied in voice and emphasis to offer something far more variety for the ears.

But these are all small things that should in no way discourage the purchase of the game!

Thank you for the beautiful game to the Ravensburger. We look forward to more of it!
