Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
WobBally is a great new, fun game for family and friends for 1-6 players (aged 5 upwards). It consists of a tower of 98 very unstable balls and can be played in three different ways. All versions start by placing the WobBally tower on a firm hard surface. The tower contains a ball-bearing, self-leveling device (fun in itself!) and once the tower is centered the clear outer cover on the tower can be removed and play can begin. Test your skills and patience by tapping the balls into the tower one by one. But watch out because the player who causes the tower to collapse is out of the game! How to Play WobBally
Version 1: Each player takes turns to knock any coloured ball from the tower without the tower collapsing. When a player does knock over the tower, everyone shouts "WobBally" and that person is out of the game. Rebuild the tower and then take turns again until one player is left--the winner! Version 2: Each player throws a numbered dice and the player with highest number goes first. Players then throw the coloured dice to determine what colour ball they have to knock out of the tower, but they can choose a colour from any level. Play continues as with version 1, until one player is victorious! Version 3: This play combines the numbered and coloured dice. Each player has to throw both, selecting a colour to remove and the level to remove it from. So, for example, the dice may show a blue ball from level 4. If no balls are left of the colour shown on the dice, the player has to knock a ball off the top level level 7! Play continues until one player is left and is crowned the winner. Box Contents
123 balls including spares
1 coloured dice
1 numbered dice
6 playing sticks
A game surround that ensures no balls are lost
All dice and sticks plus spare balls are very neatly encapsulated inside the centre of the WobBally tower.

(What's this?)

We're always on the lookout for new family games that we can play together. Unfortunately, I don't anticipate this one commanding a lot of our attention.
On the plus side, the game is well designed and packaged - it all fits together neatly into its container; the wobbly tower wobbles suitably, and looks neat.
On the downside, the actual gameplay isn't that interesting. It is broadly similar to Jenga, in terms of trying to get balls out of the tower without causing it to collapse. However, the rules don't seem to deal with the fact that you are fairly likely to trigger partial collapses; you are also likely to knock more than one ball out at a time. Also, the time taken to set the game up seems to be as great or greater as the amount of time taken to play the game. And whilst it is generally nicely presented, there's a silly plastic barrier which is designed to go around the whole thing that is just naff.
A good concept. But it could possibly have gone through a couple more passes through the evaluation cycle before being released, in our opinion.

It's wobbly version of Jenga, not too much hassle to put together, and great fun to play. I wrapped it up for Christmas, and my 4 year old jumped up and down when she opened the paper and saw what it was. "WobBally - knock them down and the laughter begins!" Obviously the advertising worked cos she knew exactly what it was.
All other presents were ignored (including some rather stunning Bratz) as she wanted it set up straight away. I played it with the 4 year old, 11 year old and 13 year old, and yes we had a lot of fun.
Very basically, once you set it up using the handy casing (very quick to do, and part of the fun), turn it upside and you start the game. Roll the dice and it tells you how many of which colour you have to push out without knocking over the whole thing.
This game is so much fun, in a totally basic fashion. Lots of giggles, lots of cheating. 4 year old happily played with it on her own; the 13 and 11 year old got a bit competitive with each other, and the handy bands that come with it mean that even when the whole tower comes tumbling down the balls don't go everywhere - bonus!!
Recommended simple fun - nice one!

Like the old favourite 52 card pick up, only with 98 balls! Takes a long time to set up (2 minutes) and seconds to destroy. Fun for the first 5 minutes but gets tedious, especially with small children.

Not Bad At All
Well, this isn't too bad at all. I have something of a fear - you could call it a phobia - of children's games, triggered by buying "Mousetrap" a few years ago. Read more
