Hasbro Lucky Ducks Matching Game Review Summary

Games that involve learning are desirable to most parents and Hasbro Lucky Ducks Matching Game certainly involves some learning for early ages. Reviewers point out the ability to help kids learn colors and shapes, the durability, and the interactive qualities as several reasons to like the Hasbro Lucky Ducks Matching Game. This is a “Fun Family Game”, to quote a few reviewers. But others feel exactly the opposite, with comments like “Whoever Invented This Game is a Quack” and “Quite Possibly the Most Obnoxious Game Ever Invented”. The frequently mentioned cons include the excessive noise, the lack of volume control so you cannot stop the ducks from quacking, and the simple fact that kids grow tired of this game rather quickly. All things considered, the Hasbro Lucky Ducks Matching Game is a Children’s Game with limited appeal and only the most patient parent should consider it.

My kids that are 3 and 5 love this game.  It is one of their favorites on family game night.  We have had it or about a year and it really helped teach my little one her colors and shapes.  The only draw back to this game is the constant quacking.  We could play the game longer if we could turn the...

I saw the Hasbro Lucky Ducks Matching Game at our local Toys R Us store about three years ago.  I thought it would be a great gift from Santa for my three year old son.  It looked cute and seemed to be somewhat educational.  The price was steep at $21.95 but the store was having a buy one game get...

     My daughter had seen a commercial on television for this game and immediately had to buy it.  Me, knowing the actual cost of toys, waited for it to go on sale at Target before I ran out the door and bought it.  My daughter is two and a half, yet she has some skills of a five year old as she is very advanced.  She loves anything that has to do with ducks, so naturally this was a must have for our family.

    The ducks are wrapped in plastic in the box and you will need to take them out of the packaging before you play. Make sure you have "C" batteries on hand, because you will need...

 This game is fun, I'd reccomend for a 3-5 age group, to match alike colors, can be somewhat fun.A first game for a toddler if you are looking. We owned this game, can be played up to 3-4 players

 The Quacking sound is cute but can get annoying after awhile, so if you don't care for noisy toys this is not for you.

Lucky Ducks has been a favorite game in our house for three years now. My son who is an experienced toddler gamer definatly gave the thumbs up on this one. The game can be played with up to four players and can be easily set up by putting all of the ducks onto the "pond" and then pressing the button to turn the game on!

This game can be played alone or with others. The four different colored ducks help teach colors and sorting.

The price usually runs a little over twenty dollars but is expected as most board games sadly run around that price. The game is very durable and the game contains no...

Good Gravy!

This truly is one of the most obnoxious games ever created.  The ducks "swim" around a motorized pond and you try to match colors to win the game.  This game is great for learning colors, and for memorizing.  However, the constant quacking is HORRIBLE

I teach in a self-contained classroom for students with special needs.  I thought this game would be awesome to help teach some of my students colors.  However, with their sensory needs, this game was far too noisy and distracting from its ultimate purpose.  Additionally, they tire easily from completing the same task.

I tried...

We bought Lucky Ducks for our 2 year old daughter for Christmas. I wasn't sure how well she would be able to grasp the concept of this game; however, she caught on quickly. She loves the little ducks and has determined her favorite duck family is the red circles. Surprisingly, she has taken such an interest in this game that she is able to play it four or five times in a row before becoming bored with it. The only problem we have had is that she LOVES the little ducks and wants to play with them outside of the game. We have a lot of tears that occur when we take the ducks away to put the game... review »

My special needs son loves this game. He thinks all the quacking is hilarious.

I on the other hand, not so much!

This game is fun for kids, but seriously annoying for adults after a few minutes.

The quacking is LOUD and CONSTANT. Also the on button is very touchy and if you bump the box the thing turns on and starts quacking. Many times when putting toys away in the toy cabinet I will inadvertantly bump the box and the thing blares loudly with quacking and scares the crap out of me!

If this game had volume control, or an occassional quack it would be much more fun. But is still enjoyable for kids...

I really expected more out of this toy, to be honest.  My son 4 1/2 has known his shapes since he was about 2 1/2, but he saw the commercial and asked Santa.  Well pappy delivered so I can't complain about the price.  So I open it up, there are only 12 ducks so 3 of each shape.  The button is in the middle so it constantly turns on.  My son has played it twice.  His younger brother is just 2 and learnign his shapes and loves animals, he wants to play it all the time.

It has its positives too, I don't think the noise is that bad and I am very sensitive to noise levels. The game is fun and...

My daughter saw this game and really wanted it. She got it for Christmas when she was 2 and she is now 4 and still plays it all the time. The nise isn't as bad as all the comments I read, but that's my opinion. I put it away and never have a problem with it quacking at me. I had to listen to it once in the car when it fell over and starting quacking, but it was in the back of the jeep and it wasn't to bad. I think it helps kids with shapes and colors, if they don't know them already. My daughter giggles and plays with it all the time and loves it. My little one is starting to play with it now.... review »

The first time I opened this toy my daughter and I were beside ourselves with excitement. yes the toy is VERY NOISY but so what if its noisy ore its not your thing, this toy is not for you. My daughter really enjoyed the concept of getting there duck with the color they needed to get, she even enjoyed just watching the ducks go round and round. to tell you the truth after a while it does get on your nerves but so what the noise level but to see her enjoyment, in playing with this toy makes it worth every penny and thats worth alittle headache. I highly reccomend this game

My kids love to play this game, but I can't stand the noise it makes!  I have to remove the batteries (not an easy task - requires screwdriver) before we put it away, or else it will make the awful noise as soon as you put the lid on the box - no on/off button on this game.  I put packing tape over the speaker, which muffled the sound a little, but it is still very loud!  If you're looking for a fun game - this is it.  But if you can't stand noisey toys - stay away from this one!

We have this game. My daughter's teacher at preschool introduced her to it. She really likes to play it over and over again..however as an adult it's very easy. My daughter who is 5 has figured out how to cheat... if the person before her didn't get a match...she watches where the duck goes and grabs that duck. She is very smart.

I would like this game more if it were larger...maybe had more of a course that the ducks go around on....

My nephew, who was 4 years old at the time, kept bugging me to buy this game for him for Christmas last year. I bought it and it annoyed me before I even gave it to him. The quacking just wouldn't stop. You can't set anything on the box or it will start to quack. Also, my nephew only played it once and has not played it since. Not only was it boring for me to play with him but it was boring for him as well. This game is going on my next yard sale.

Lucky Ducks is one of the most annoying games my son has ever had.  Although it is great for the kids, because of the educational qualities, it is also more for geared toward the 2-4 age group. My seven year old still likes to play with it, but it is a little too easy for him. The colors are great because they are bright and attracting. The game is of good quality construction and the pieces aren't too small for little ones.
