The Fuzzies

Note: This is a short really early legacy review before I started posting longer form review in our Facebook Group.

A quick entry today as there is not a massive amount to say but for game 23 of the “Bailey Family Sorta Summer Board Game Bonanza” we will be looking at “The Fuzzies” played by myself and Jack(7) & Toby(4).

The Fuzzies is a simple dexterity game that I can very quickly describe as Jenga with pompoms

You put the pompom-type “fuzzies” into the cup and then lay them out. you then draw cards giving you colours and you then have to pick a “fuzzie” out and place it higher up the structure.

If you drop one or two you turn the card over and then have to put them back on with a few extra rules (maybe with your non-dominant hand or possibly a new highest point).

Much like Jenga game is over when the tower topples (or more than 10 falls).

So that’s it. It’s Jenga with a few more rules and different “blocks”. One massive benefit I could see is this as a game for kids with autism or similar SEND who may struggle with the loud noises of Jenga.

It’s also VERY quick to set up and put away which is a big bonus.

I myself find velcro horrible from a sensory point of view and these aren’t that.

The boys liked it but weren’t blown away as they tend to want something a bit “more” these days. They also are never overly keen on the 1 person loses and everyone else wins type mechanic.

From a component point of view, it’s well made and while it breaks my rule of “coming in a weird-shaped box” it does look nice and could easily go on a shelf.

It’s available for the £16ish sorta mark.

So there we go it is what it is but you know if this is for you and your kids…

That was a longer post than intended.
