Dec. 3, 2008 - Product Review -- Alphabet Alley
Familiar games with a new twist -- a Christian focus! We recently received both a matching game and a Go Fish game from Alphabet Alley in the mail. I was not really looking forward to completing this review, because I was expecting the same old stuff I can buy at Target, with Christian figures and inflated prices. Boy was I wrong! I opened the boxes right away that night, with the promise to my 2.5 year old that this was something finally for him! Immediately, he and my 7 year old went off to play the games; but not before I noticed the very thick quality of the game pieces and cards.. The Match Game has pieces almost twice as thick as the cheap version I already had. Plus, the pictures on the cards are all from Noah's Ark; which is a lot of fun. The Go Fish cards were also Noah's Ark, and are big, thick, and well-laminated. We have really enjoyed these products since receiving them a couple weeks ago. My 2.5 year old loves playing, even though he doesn't always want to follow the rules. My 5 year old does great; and we all have a great time together. Here are my thoughts.
What I like: Big, thick, high quality, Christian focus. Top Notch! The games are all on sale right now, just in time for Christmas! The matching and go fish games also comes in Nativity characters!!!!
What I don't like: Hmmmm.... Can't think of anything. Except that I wish they had more game products!!!
My Bottom Line: I like these products so much, I went looking for more products on the web-site to put on Christmas lists for my kids. They do have a few other products, you should definitely check it out -- especially during this sale! If I were just starting out having children, I would definitely invest in these quality games. I would happily spend these prices, and also put these on Christmas and Birthday lists for grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. so that we can replace our old games with games that will last.
