[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a fun card game! My kids love putting the gloves on and get immediate joy from just pulling the gloves out. The card game is fast moving and action packed. It gets the whole family involved when we watch. Everyone wants a chance to wear the gloves and be the first to smack the pile.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Fight cards make for a great family night game. My kids loved the robot gloves the most out this game. The gloves are soft and have padding on the top. They resemble a mini boxing glove so no kids got hurt while slamming for the card deck. The direction card was colorful and explained the rules well for the adults. It my kids took a few times around to understand the rules. The cards are like regular playing cards in texture. I just wish they were a little firmer so when the game gets very exciting the cards won't have a chance to bend when being slammed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my kids new favorite game. Adds a fun twist with the padded gloves. Instead of a reverse card they have a glove swap card for multi player, they can't wait till they get the glove. There are lots of interesting add ons to the game but we've set our own house rules to make it easier for younger kids.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fun card game with an extra exciting twist a a good dose of nostalgia. Growing up we had the original Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. Once you understand the rules of the card game it moves pretty quickly and the the boxing gloves actually do a great job of buffering some of the intensity when the game gets heated. Has to be played with an equal number of players, either 2 individuals or 2 teams. My almost 10 year old had a great time whomping dad.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is pretty fun. The rules are simple and easy to learn. If you have played other "slap the deck" card games you will find this similar and easier to pick up.
The main difference here are the boxing mitts. They actually half-mitts. The top of the mitt looks like a traditional fist/glove, but the bottom of the mitt is flat and smooth. They seem to fit everyone from our 3 year to 43 in our household.
We've run into two nit picks with this game. The first is probably the most predictable - most kids don't want to just slap the pile, they want to hit each other. This can make playing the actual game difficult in addition to the whole "we don't hit people" parenting required. The second is an issue with how kids tend to play the game. Because the goal is to slap the pile when conditions are met, they often try to "slow turn" the card so they can place and slap very rapidly. It's nothing that doesn't happen in other games of this nature, its just that this iteration doesn't attempt to address that at all either.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun game for a variety of ages! You just have to understand what the different cards mean, and be ready to react quickly to smackdown! If you win a smackdown, you get all the cards in the pile, and the person, or team that has the most cards at the end wins! My boys are 6-12 years of age, and this is a game they can all play and enjoy! Teams need to be even numbers, but playing one-on-one has also proved to be fun and entertaining!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is really fun , a different product then i have ever had before. Keeps you on your toys and a toy to be interactive with . The boxing glove fits perfectly and enough cushion and padding inside to ensure safety
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is similar to slap jack but your hand will thank you for wearing the boxing gloves. The game requires two or four players. It’s easy to play once you learn the rules. A fun game for the entire family!
