Timberdoodle's review
 
I am not a chess or a checkers fan, partly because I am not very skilled at it, but mostly because of its monotony. This is especially apparent in family play where we all have our favorite lines of attack that we follow ad nauseam. So I was thrilled to discover Tally Ho!, a game of strategy with chess-like maneuvering, but where every game you play is unique.

In this two-player game, one player takes the role of the hunters and the lumberjacks; the other takes the role of the foxes and bears, but both players pursue each other. The light-hearted illustrations on the sturdy cardboard tiles are colorful, crisp and clear, and the rules are easy to understand. At the start of the game all of the tiles are placed face down on the board. On your turn you can either flip a tile or move a tile. As in chess each character moves distinctively and has different objectives. The more tiles that get turned over, the more tactical it gets. Knowing that you can't repeat a move, you are constantly analyzing yours and your opponent's options. Plus you need to factor in what could be beneath the remaining facedown tiles. It takes a lot of strategizing and planning, making Tally Ho! an exhilarating way to use your brain.

Fun for son and mom!! November 4, 2008
Reviewer: Cherie N. from Monticello, WI  
My son is very interested in hunting and anything that has to do with guns. He loves this game.  The neat thing is....even though I have no interest whatsoever in hunting or guns, I enjoy playing this game.  While there is an element of chance to this game, strategy is still a big part of the game.   My son says it is a really fun game, so our family gives this game two thumbs up!

Game of choice for children and dad!! November 4, 2008
Reviewer: Aimee J. from Chesterfield Twp. MI  
At first this game seemed simple and not too impressive, but the more we played the more we enjoyed the new strategy needed for each new game.  This is the game of choice for my children, of several ages, to play with their dad when he gets home from work.  They know it is a favorite of his, as well.  It is simple, fun and great for lots of age groups.

All-in-all, I would buy this game again. October 24, 2008
Reviewer: Dawn R. W. from Arvada, Co  
I bought this game for my two boys to play against each other and learn strategy.  Unfortunately, it was a little complicated for them to figure out and so I had to be there to help them or play against one (which left the other one out).  Once we used it more, it became easier and now they can play on their own.  They find it really fun, and each game is unique and challenging.  Timberdoodle says that a game is typically 40 minutes, but it takes about double that amount of time in our house.  :)  The age recommendation is for 8+, but I don't recommend it for under 10 unless they are somewhat advanced.  All-in-all, I would buy this game again.
