Editorial Review:
Twister is a very simple game that can become very complicated as the players can easily get tied up in knots. The mat that forms the playing surf ace is decorated with six circles each of red, yellow, green and blue. The mat is durable, waterproof with a wipe-clean surface but it can also be a little slippery so care must be taken. The spinner arrow is easy to assemble and to use.
An appointed person spins the spinner and calls out instructions for the players to follow, such as: "left hand blue, right foot red". The players follow the directions, moving their hands and feet to the relevant circles and try not to fall over--a knee or an elbow on the ground and they're out. For young children the challenge is not only not to fall over but also to remember left from right and colour recognition.
As well as the perfect ice-breaker for children's parties, Twister is also very popular with adults as the challenge to reach all the circles and remain upright becomes harder the less supple you are (or the more you've had to drink...)
This is a game to suit all ages--children with adults, children with children or adults with adults. Whichever the combination the end result will be plenty of family fun. Six years up, two or more players. --Phillippa Reece

I don't want to play contortionist games with my children, so my heart sinks whenever Twister comes out of the cupboard. Our spinning board is slightly warped so the arrow ALWAYS finishes on the same direction - LH Yellow - which is fine on the rare occasions when I get to be the spinner because I just lie and make up my own fiendish directions, but it sure makes for a dull game in the hands of a 5 year old spinner - "Left hand, yellow,... more info

A timeless classic! Twister is a game of physical skill, invented by Neil W. Rabens and Charles F. Foley in 1969. The game includes a 167cm by 135cm plastic sheet covered with 6 blue, 6 green, 6 red and 6 yellow circles, which is layed on the floor. The game also includes a spinner, mounted onto a board that's divided into quarters. Each quater says either left foot, right foot, left hand, or right hand. To play: After the spinner's been spun, a combination is called out {E.G. left foot - green} and players must move... more info
More Twister please by Hugo My son aged five loves this game, I know that the age range is from 6 years on the actual box, but five is an ideal age to start trying it out. It really gets small children to recognise colours and the shape of a circle without even thinking that they are learning something, you know what they say if they enjoy playing with something and it also teaches them something then it cann't be too bad a toy. (Cann't remember who said that, but from somewhere in my distant memory I can remember that being said... more info
