We bought this game, hoping it would be more fun then the original Cariboo. We were wrong.
Pros:
It's easier to get the coins out after you're done playing in this version.
Cons:
If you touch the treasure chest, it opens. You don't have to get a coin.
The "sandy beach" is lame. Unlike the original Cariboo, the balls don't slide.
The Toy was marketed as "Spinning" but, it dosen't spin on most hard surfaces.
The doors are EXACTLY the same as the Original version.
The way you put the coins in is through the hole in the back of the treasure chest. It's kind of hard to do it.
The doors are placed in a circle. When my kids play with it, they have to keep on picking it up and rotating it for everyone to see if there is a ball inside.
You kind of have to lean your head to see if there is a coin inside.
Once you have all the coins, you have to push REALLY hard to open the chest. And, most of the time, once of the balls just falls out of the crack for the crab.(Yeah, there's a crab, and you have to slide it to get the balls out. It's actually the funnest part of this game.)
Cards are EXACTLY the Same. Only the design changes.
As you can see, there's more pros than cons. So this game isn't that great. Invest your money in the first Cariboo. It may be three dollars more, but it's TOTALLY worth it.
