University Games, Irritable Vowels, The Jumpy Bouncy Word Game, for Ages 8 and Up and 2 or More Players

…If the people you are playing with are in the proper state of mind to bark out a lot of random words in rapid succession. But either way I found this a bit too easy to “run the table” given the rules that allow the same player to just keep going until they fail to come up with a word.The bouncy letter device is a fun gimmick but pretty much needs to be corralled inside a box to keep it from jumping off the table.

Bought this because of the funny name, not going to lie. When we got it and played it the family has a blast. The game works great as a spelling/early learning tool for kiddos too, as you have to think of words that include both the vowel on the die and a consonant from the cards. The bouncy movement of the device does not disappoint!

It’s not a bad idea, but not very well executed.The rules are very complicated and difficult to learn, to the point of removing most of the fun. The rolling “vowel piece” nearly falls off the table every time you use it, so in addition to the many rules and high speed you have to guard the sides of the table to prevent it from falling off.Ended up enjoying it a bit, but not till we altered the rules and played several rounds just to get the mechanics straight.

I try and find fun ways to teach. This game works on vowels and consonants,vocabulary and spelling. This game is a good price and my son loves the big bouncy dice!

This game must be brand new - only 1 review. The instructions are poorly written and incomplete. The only video anywhere is always the same - short and lends no help. I read the instructions 4 times, still no help in understanding the rules and scoring. My saddest Christmas gift, but not my daughter's fault, she knows we love word games. The idiotic annoying battery operated vibrating dodecahedron (12 sided object - yes, I'm not stupid) takes off way too often, and will roll off the table EVERY TIME, unless you stop it with your hands. Man - this is one BIG ANNOYING GAME !!!!!!
