Amanda Banta said:  My son got Hasbro's Egged On Game for his fifth birthday and we are having a blast playing it! It's Egg Roulette, and you fill some of the reusable plastic eggs with water, then mix those eggs into the carton with the empty ones. Spin to find out if you've got to crack an egg on your head or another player's, then wait to feel if you get wet! The eggs are soft, almost rubbery, and don't hurt when you crack them on your head.

This family game is easy to set up and understand, which is great because my boys can play a round by themselves if I'm not ready when they want to start.
