Obviously you have to know what you are in for with a toy like this. If you don’t think farts are funny, it isn’t the toy for you. But kids DO find farts to be hilarious, so it’s a really good game for laughter. I think what most surprised me is that it’s also a learning toy! It teaches numbers (cards with numbers on them tell the player how many times to tap the Minion’s head) as well as basic game strategy (to figure out that using lower numbers or skip cards can reduce one’s risk of losing). And as a parent trying to keep the play area relatively neat, I also like how the game is physically structured. Most games like this provide cards in a pack but then you have to figure out where to store them separately from the actual game unit, but this game has a built-in storage compartment so that you never lose the cards. I will say that the game can become repetitive and too easy for older children. My kids (8 and 3) like it but after one or two rounds the older one is over it for a few days. Perhaps if there were different cards included for use for older children to induce more strategy into the game it would hold their attention more. But overall it's a really fun, quick, simple game that teaches numbers and makes players laugh.
