Toy Review: Perfection! Timed of Course

Perfection by Milton Bradley

Perfection by Milton Bradley is one of those classics that most of us remember when we were kids. Many of us as we shop the toy isle along with our children are always amazed that some toys seemed to refuse to go away. Perfection is one of those
games and is still available in most stores. Perfection is a game where you must match 25 shapes before the timer goes off and the board pops up. Seems simple in theory but apply pressure and odd geometric shapes, perfection of a steady hand and eye coordination is a must.

Another beauty Perfection provides it is still one of those few games left out there that doesn't require batteries, a blessing for the technology age. This game is meant for children five years and older and if you have younger children it is highly recommended that the game be put up out of reach of younger children as the pieces to this game are small and a choking hazard. My children love this game as much as I loved it when I was a child. It's easy to set for them so my help isn't always needed. They love to set the timer and try and get all the pieces in before the board pops. Now they don't stop the timer when all the pieces go in instead they cover their eyes and giggle loudly waiting for the pieces to fly.

Now most games and toys for that matter I find children often times play with them in ways they are not intended to be played with but Perfection is the exception. The game does not end in pieces being strewn throughout the house being used as bombs from their planes instead they actually play the game as it is meant to be played with and that is a relief for me. The other thing about Perfection that I love is that they actually play with the game! Too often parents buy a toy to only have it played with for a few minutes and it's forgotten on a shelf to collect dust.

For a toy that has been around forever, Perfection, well, could be considered perfect. The game provides never ending laughter and anticipation along while building quick thinking skills in matching the pieces on the board. If this game continues to be available to the public, it will surely continue to amass a following of new generations for years to come.
