Ring-O Flamingo from Gamewright - Tiny Toy Testers Review
Gamewright games sent Toy Whimsy a big box of games and we couldn't be happier to review them. Families can get a lot of value out of games that can be played by many members of the family. I fondly remember the times my family would play games together as a child. It was fun to be included in what felt like a very "grownup" activity. Check out our Tiny Toy Testers with the new game Ring-O Flamingo below, and then keep reading for the Amazon.com parents' review:
Ring-O Flamingo from Gamewright...
Parents' Review: 5 Stars for Wonderful, 1 Star for Terrible:
Assembly: 5 Stars, "Took only a few minutes – not much to assemble. The directions were adequate."
Fun Factor: 3.5 Stars, "The kids liked it. We played it together, and then they played it (while I did the video). They’ve chosen to pull it out multiple times since then. However, they (7.7 year old and 4.2 year old) have generally chosen to play with it “freestyle” rather than according to the rules. I haven’t tried to coax them into playing the way it was designed, so I’m not sure how interested they’d be in that. They liked playing it that way okay in the initial go-round, for a while, and then wanted to just flip the rings onto the board without regard for color (recycling lost rings from other players), or where they land on the board, etc."
Educational Factor: 1 star "not educational – nothing to learn from it. just fun. maybe good for hand-eye (fine motor) skills. I imagine he’ll play with it periodically for an indefinite period."
Novelty Factor: 5 stars, "we don’t have anything like this. It all worked just fine."

The Ringo -0 Flamingo seems to have a great potential.
I would appreciate if the article also mentioned the name of the designer.
Would be interested in knowing who he or she is?
