Customer Rating:      Summary: tomy pop up pirate Comment: This is so much fun, me and my 3 year old son love it. One of the best things about it is the fact that you dont need batteries. The suspense of the game it great and the pop up pirate makes us jump every time no matter how often we have played it. It is so easy to set up my son does it all and feels quite confident and important about that. Putting the swords in the barrel is good for a childs co ordination, counting them into equal groups of differnt colours for each player is also educational.
We love it and are glad we bought it anyway.
Customer Rating:      Summary: we love it! Comment: this is a great toy and helped a lot in teaching my 3 year old daughter about taking turns and waiting for your own turn. Its very funny when the pirate pops up, and you can change the rules to make it that you have won, or you are out, when he pops up. Its easy for a young child to stick the swords in the barrel, you sometimes have to hold it steady but overall the toy is quite robust. Also my daughter liked counting all the swords and sorting them into different coloured piles. Overall a great family game that they dont get bored of.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Both of mine loved it Comment: My 1 year old and my three year old both love this game. Although you have to hold it steady for them at times, they really do get a lot of fun out of it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Crazy fun Comment: This game is great for kids. It's bright, it's fun, it's edgey (pirates!) it can entertain 2-4 at any one time. Bring it out when you're kids are having a party and it'll keep them quiet(ish) for a while.
I found it to be durable, the only worry is losing some of the swords which may be too small for the very young (or old).
There's no batteries = no extra cost and there's no staring at a screen. Great.
Customer Rating:      Summary: So Much Fun!! Comment: Bought this for my 3 year old nephew for xmas but my three o'clock everyone from my ten year old son to my 85 year old grandma had had a go!
A really fun, simple game that doesn't require any tricky construction and is easy to use.
A classic!

A well-loved classic game of nerve and chance, Pop-Up Pirate is barrels of explosive fun. To set the game up, there is a small amount of assembly to be done, with stickers to carefully stick on to decorate the barrel and base. Press the pirate down and he locks into the barrel in such a way that he will be popped up randomly when a sword is pushed in--and nobody knows which sword will be the one! Players select a set of swords of their favourite colour and take it in turns to choose a slot, hoping that they won't be the one to make the pirate pop up with a start. Once the pirate has been popped, the remaining players take out their swords and start to play again until only the winner is left. Every time you push the pirate back into the barrel, the hole which will make the him pop up changes, making Pop-Up Pirate a tense and exciting game in which you never know who is going to be the one to launch the pirate into space. --Rachel Ediss 2 to 4 players.
