Cube It Up
© 2000 Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc. (Toy Biz)
This device has knobs at each end and a twisting, moving cube in the center with different colors on each side. One to three players work together, trying to keep certain colors on the top of the block, according to verbal instructions. Kids will find over 100 sounds and sayings, along with five game variations that can be set to different speeds. Testers enjoyed the challenge, and their parents appreciated that playing the game got their children up and moving. Our big question was, "How do you turn the darn thing off?"
