Game Review: Cadoo is a game that takes Tic Tac Toe to a whole new level of fun! You place your pieces on the board just like in Tic Tac Toe, trying to get 4 of your color in a row. However, you must earn those places by doing a variety of activities -- sculpting with clay or drawing a picture while others guess what it is, acting out a character or thing, solving a puzzle or riddle, etc. Much silliness will ensue as you watch your sister pretend to ice skate in the living room, or laugh at your dad trying to sculpt a race car out of Play-doh! My children absolutely love this game, and we adults enjoy it too. The variety of activities keeps it fresh and interesting, and you can even buy booster card sets to keep playing. The only downside (and it's a small one) is that the Play-doh dries out quickly (no biggie, go buy some more at the store), and some of the answer cards have to be read using a red-film piece, which some folks (the husband is one) find almost impossible to read. Other than that, this game is a complete winner, and highly recommended!
