Game review | Doodle doo by Tactic games
Get in and out without touching the sides – BLINDFOLDED
You must all know by now that we love sitting around the table and playing family games together. My kids, and I am certain all kids their age, love any games that involve poo and farts, so this was perfect for us and I am so excited to tell you all about it.
The game is very simple, get from the mouth to the poop with the pen and you have four animals to choose from. The trick, however, is that you have to do it ‘BLINDFOLDED’ and trust me when I say it’s not as easy as it looks (or not in this case). Doodle Doo’s age suitability is from 6 years+, however, my five-year-old daughter Milly LOVES playing this game with us and has no issues following the instructions. Each of the four different animals offer a different ability maze board, ranging from easy for the kiddies to hard for all the competitive adults out there.
WHATS IN THE BOX
- 4 Double Sided, Dry-wipe Animal Maze Boards
- Fart Maker
- Blindfold Mask
- 4 Dry-Wipe Pens
- Rules
Each player has a dry-wipe pen each and on their turn, they cover their eyes with the mask (parents might have to hold it on so that they cant cheat) and make their way through the maze. If they go over the edge another player will push the ‘Fart’ cushion to alert them that their turn is over and then its the next players turn. The play continues until one of you reaches the poo.
HERE IS WHAT WE THOUGHT
This game is a heck of a lot of fun! We were all trying different tricks to try and get through the maze – even air practising, which did nothing to help – and beat the others. Waiting with the fart cushion, the kids were only too happy to push it really hard, and often in our ears, when we hit the wall. The easy board will comfortably take over fifteen minutes to play and the harder boards will take much longer, so you get lots of play from a single board.
The kids, as am I, are happy to play this game again and again. A simple yet very challenging game for all and one I definitely recommend.
Doodle Doo is available to buy here and is again like my other games is worth every penny. We love this game and play it pretty much every single day.

My top 5 fun games for kids
We have thoroughly enjoyed reviewing these games for Christmas and I can honestly they are all super fun and straight forward to play. There is nothing worse than opening a kids game to find lots of pieces which could potentially go missing and a confusing instruction booklet. We love straight to the point games and this exactly why we love and recommend these top five.

Doodle Doo- Tactic
It’s cheeky fun for everyone in this hilarious Children’s board game. The family all get to laugh at the way it plays, put your pen on the maze, cover your eyes and draw… Now follow through to reach the poo! Watch out, though… If your pen strays outside the maze then your friend sets off the whoopee cushion. Whoever finishes the maze wins. Great fun for everyone – mums, dads, grandparents, kids and their friends, a perfect board game for cheeky children! Doodle Doo is an easy-to-play game for the whole family. Each animal maze has one difficulty level for children, 6-year-olds and over and another one for adults. Perfect if you’re fed up with serious drawing games and a quiet night in!

GAME REVIEW | DON’T upset the Llama!!
Grab it first, or get… sprayed!… is the tag line for the new game from Tactic games.
Don’t upset the Llama is a family party game that is a lot of fun to play with the family. To play this game you need quick reflexes; and a towel!
The game is aged 6-99, although we played with our 5-year-old daughter who managed to play the game just fine, and for 2-4 players. The aim of the game is to be faster than everyone else and try to stay dry.
WHATS IN THE BOX?
- 64 cards
- one special die
- Llama spray gun.
- Instructions
The die controls the game as each player rolls in turn. Depending on what you roll, you then play the cards that determine whether you get sprayed or not.
Much of the game is a free-for-all, where the Llama spray gun is up for grabs. Be the fastest to get the Llama and often you will get to choose who you spray. This can be tactical, or just plain mean!
HERE IS WHAT WE THOUGHT:
We had a lot of fun playing this game, with tension every time the die is rolled as you wait to see if you can grab the gun or not. You do have to be careful because if you grab the gun in error, you become an open target and they get a free spray. The kids were screaming with excitement and fear in equal measures (as were we, the parents).
There are not a lot of parts so there is little risk of losing bits. The only point I would make is that the cards are not water-resistant. This is important as the water can get messy as you fight and spray each other meaning the cards can sometimes get wet. Over time, this could lead to some of them getting damaged.
Don’t upset the Llama costs £15 and is totally worth the price. This is a game the kids will want to play again, and again, and again… especially if they have a score to settle!l
