5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 1 Dec 2005

By	Rachel "rachel2121" (London) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

We used to play this game years ago at my grandfather's house - it's simple to learn and lots of fun. You are dealt a few towns, then roll the dice to get around the board visiting each of your towns, then get back to London first. Your opponant can block your route though, and also have to think strategically about the best route, so it's always a race and is very competive. Good fun for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Family Favourite, 31 Dec 2005

By A Customer

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

This game has been around for years, but was out of print for several years. I am happy to see that it is being produced again.

This game is easy to learn and fun to play for all ages. The combination of luck and skill evens the playing field making it enjoyable for people with different skill levels to play together and have fun. The descriptions of the landmarks and historical information on the cards are interesting, and educational, but the information is not necessary to play or win the game.

There have been several editions over the years, and they have improved with each new release. The game rules in the previous editions have not always been clear for some specific situations that arise, so we had to make up our own house rules to cover those. I don't know if this edition has revamped the rule booklet to take those situations into account.

Unfortunately, at this writing, the game cannot be shipped to the United States, othewise I would have ordered several copies to share with my siblings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our most favourite family game, 5 Jan 2007

By	V. Gee (Shropshire UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Great Game of Britain is our most favourite family game. It has everything: a race around the board; the chance to stop others and even to pick who you most want to be nasty to! and then moments when everyone finds themselves in Scotland whether they want to be or not!It's easy to learn and can be played by adults and children alike on equal terms.Our first version is now dropping to bits and I'm just buying a new one because Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without this game.
