- DroPolter Fast-Paced Ghost Memory Party Game | Real-Time Pattern Recognition & Dexterity Challenge for Families and Kids | 2–5 Players | Ages 6+ | Portable Travel Game

I don't buy a lot of dexterity games, am usually focused on strategic board games for medium to large groups. I came across a review for this and decided to give it a try. This may be the smallest box in my collection, but it absolutely delivers on quick and engaging fun. It's super quick to learn and will be enjoyed by players of many ages, though I believe it will be easier for those with adult or nearly adult-sized hands. The main mechanic is picking out small and oddly shaped items from the palm of your hand with the fingers of the same hand, while the number of items grows each time you succeed. I haven't tried yet, but expect that this would be more difficult for young kids. Game play is quick, about 15 minutes per game, and there is no down time - everyone plays at once. The core mechanic makes the game get more difficult for the player who is doing the best, so even those who struggle don't feel they're being eliminated, and can catch up at any time. After just a few plays we upped the challenge by inventing a few twists to the rules. We now find this welcome at our game table for a few quick rounds just about any time.

This game is a delight! Whether played with friends or during a speech therapy session with the kids, it’s a hilariously good time. The OTs I work with regularly use this game to work on fine motor skills. It’s fast to learn, super portable, and easily adaptable for different ages and abilities.

This is a very fun, elegantly designed, dexterity game that is like nothing else you've played. Small, easy to bring anywhere, and up to five players, it's so good. Teach it in 30 seconds and then have hilarious fun. I absolutely love it. Holding the bells is an inspired win condition and "rubber band mechanic" to ensure games are excitingly close. I recommend a house rule that when you grab the ghost, you shout DroPolter. Also you can play pretty much anywhere! Just buy it!

Such a fun game! Warning that some people get very frustrated but it is a good test of patience. All the pieces seem good quality and I can see this game lasting us a long time.

This game is fast-face and has everybody laughing by the end of it. Great for all ages even younger kids could understand the concept of this game!

This is a cute, easy game that pretty much anyone can play. There is definitely a bit of a disadvantage if you have smaller hands, since you have to hold all the pieces in one hand, but it would be easy to figure out a workaround to that if needed. It's a great little game to toss in a bag to play while waiting for dinner at a restaurant, and it's such a simple game that you can continue to have a conversation while playing.

A great game that's fun and different! Fast paced.

Looking for a way to spice up game-night? This is it. Fun to play, easy to learn. The small size makes it easy to travel with. Lots of quality and strategy for the money. Great value.
