Balloon Bot Battle Game Review and Christmas Giveaway Age 8+ (Sent by KD Games)

Balloon Bot Battle is brilliant. An active and understandably noisy game, sent to us by KD Games to review, it's already a favourite. Suitable for 2 players or teams aged 8+, this is a lively family game which really allows you to let out your frustrations on your family - with their permission...

There is minimal plastic and a sturdy box, which is wasted because once you've assembled your robots they don't fit in it for storage, and aren't designed for disassembly. Assembly is quick and easy though, and actually quite exciting.

Inside the box are all the parts for 2 Balloon Bots plus 20 balloons, stickers and instructions. Assembly is fairly obvious as long as you start with everything turned the right way.

Your robot is in 2 parts plus the balloon. The hat/frame and the base, which has a joystick handle which you slide from side to side to move your robot and make him punch.

Place the balloon into the hat frame and slide the neck of the balloon into the turning part of the base before you blow it up. Inflate until it's beginning to squeeze a little and then you don't need to tie it off because it wraps around, so children can do it alone. That just sits into the rest of the base.

Set up takes only 5 minutes and you are off - Round 1! Both players attempt to pop the opponent's balloon and win the match. The hands have a rough sandpapery stripe and skillful players soon realise that friction is what wins the match.

Each match can take anything from 10 seconds to 10 minutes depending on lucky punches and the speed at which you pop your opponent's balloon. It's a great 'warm up' game. It's active, but not too much, so anyone can take part. All ages groups and skill levels have a chance at winning, but you can even learn a few tricks and moves to give yourself an upper hand. An all-round crowd-pleaser.

Balloon Bot Battle is available to buy now priced £19.99rrp from all good toy and game shops, including online at Amazon*. For more information about the entire range available see the KD Games website.
