Product Description
Twister is the game that ties you up in knots. Spin the dial and move a hand or foot to the colored circle on the floor mat. Can you get there' don?t touch the mat with anything but a hand or foot. It is for 2 or 4 players. It includes a spinner, a mat and instructions. Instructions are available in English and Spanish.
Editorial Review
Over forty years old and going strong! Soon after its release in 1966, Twister was made instantly popular when Johnny Carson and Eva Gabor played it on The Tonight Show. Such a simple concept, with so much potential for hilarity. The game includes a plastic mat with red, blue, yellow, and green spots; a spinner; and instructions. To play (as if you didn't already know…), two to four players face each other, with the plastic mat in the center. A referee spins the spinner, then calls out the body part and the color the arrow points to ("Left foot, blue," "Right hand, yellow"). All players, at the same time, follow the directions, placing the appropriate body part on a vacant circle. Players become increasingly entangled, until someone (or everyone) finally topples, and is eliminated. The last person standing—er, crouching—wins. If this doesn't bring families and friends (and celebrities) closer together, we don't know what does! Out-and-out fun. --Emilie Coulter

 Great Toy January 18, 2010

I bought this for my brother's daughter for Christmas and he tells me she still plays with it everyday and always wants to invite her friends over to play.
Love this game! December 4, 2009

I got the original Twister for my 12th birthday (or thereabouts). I am 23 years old and up to last weekend I've played it. Twister is another timeless game that can be enjoyed by persons of about 5 years old and up. I'll give you one important piece of advice: the younger you are, the easier it is to bend!
Provided great indoor play for our son's 7th birthday party October 25, 2009
Jared Castle (Roseburg, Oregon United States)
We purchased Twister to entertain about 15 children at our son's seventh birthday party. We set up a game table with four other games - Perfection, Operation, Wild Planet Hyper Dash and iPlay Wok and Roll (I recommend you check out my Amazon reviews on these other games, too).
Behind the game table, we placed Twister on a wide area of carpeted floor. The only rule we established was that the kids had to take their shoes off to play. We did not hover over the group or explain the rules. One boy picked up the spinner board and gave it a twirl. He announced "left hand green" and the game began. Over the next two hours, the kids (3-to-8-years old) played all of the games, coming back to Twister to play in pairs, small groups or groups of only boys or girls.
Of all the games we placed out for the birthday party, Twister and Wild Planet Hyper Dash allowed the children to release their energy the most (that was handy after we served birthday cake). Keep that in mind as you look for indoor games to get you through the winter.
In summary, Twister consists of only a vinyl sheet and a spinner board, so you might think the game is too simple to entertain kids. However, that was not our experience. The children loved to tie themselves up in knots. Rating: Five stars.

 Good July 26, 2009

The package was received before the estimated date and in good condition. Thought the playing mat is prone to tear when not wearing socks, the game is fun and can be played by anyone. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
