There's a Moose in the Housex$6.49
  (13 reviews)
Best Price: $7.99 $6.49
Eeek! There's a moose loose in the kitchen... and another in the bathroom! In this silly matching card game, the goal is to keep moose out of your house, while at the same time giving them to your opponents. Use a door to close off empty rooms or, if you're lucky, plant a moose trap to keep those loveable but uninvited visitors away! The player with the fewest moose wins. Includes 58 cards and rules of play. For 2 to 5 players.

Moose lovers
By A3J35CXOEOK259 on 2006-03-04
The game says ages 8+ but we play with our 4 & 6 year olds every night. We also played with our 13 year old niece who also loved it. Like many of Gamewright's products, it takes many readings of the instructions and trial runs to understand the game, but once the rules are understood, it is simple.
funny moose
By AFCDEFINUNC9G on 2007-08-11
We like this game. It reinforces turn-taking skills and encourages everyone to laugh at themselves when they end up with a moose in their house. Kids can compete on a level playing field with adults.
Can't stop playing!
By A1P75IBC40O26M on 2007-01-01
This arrived in a Christmas stocking at our house We played it over and over all vacation long, and it hasn't gotten old or boring. Yes, we had to read the instructions, but they weren't too hard to grasp and everyone at our house from 7 to 40+ has enjoyed playing it. We are now huge Gamewright fans.
Too Great to Imagine!
By A25KKXUQQ0OLWB on 2007-10-26
Yes, this game takes practice to learn but after that it is simple and fun! My students go nuts after this game and it's so silly that they love the absurdity to it. I had students carry this game away so I'll have to get another one. It's so fun!
Just OK For Us
By A3GV11WCN6B6OL on 2008-03-09
We went on a game buying binge a while back, purchasing several of Gamewright's games. This had great reviews, but wasn't a huge hit at our home. The $8 price seems a little high for basically just a deck of cards. I'm not sure why it comes in such a big box (it takes up more storage space ... this holds true for several of the Gamewright games). It isn't as simple as some (Wig Out, Hiss) but not as difficult as others (Sleeping Queens or Frog Juice, which require several readings of the istructions). It is kind of cute, but not laugh-out-loud funny ... pretty mellow actually. There is a little bit of strategy when you have several cards you could choose to play, but often there are just not many options. The kids don't mind playing it, but it isn't on their top ten list. I probably would have passed on buying this game if I had played it first.
- GREAT GAME FOR ADULTS TO PLAY WITH CHILDREN
By AMAJFPJSUKGJ5 on 2007-01-11
This is all kinds of fun for children (as young as 4) and adults alike!
It is simple and requires no reading but not boring for adults. It deserves the award it received.
- for all ages
By A2PUQ5RJTU03SA on 2007-12-19
We were at a family party recently and there were all ages playing this game and loving it. A 5 year old patiently explained the rules to me. It is great because you don't have to be able to read to play it but it's fun enough for adults to enjoy as well, so it's a great family game or for any group of any age.
- Love this game!
By A32M62TXMUR98U on 2007-12-30
I heard about this from a friend at work; got it and the first time we played we were laughing hard enough to cry; my DDs are 7 and 9 and they love it and beg for us to play it; it is a quick card game that can go really fast if you want it to; I use it during the wait for water to boil for noodles for dinner or that break between shows or waiting for your food to arrive when we are out; fun and easy; no you won't learn anything to help you get a good ACT/SAT score, but life should be filled w/ laughs and this does it for us!
- Moose on the Loose!
By AWPAKXAU3EREX on 2008-01-02
This game is a real winner, any way you look at it. It comes in a heavy duty, durable box; perfect for little hands to take care of. The pictures of the Moose are adorable (and made me with we had the book If You Give A Moose A Muffin to read afterward.
Though geared for the younger set, this game is fun for the family to play together. Your goal is to stop the moose in his tracks and not let him in your house, but at the same time, you have to get rid of your moose and give him to other players! Teaches the concept of matching, because you can only put the moose in the matching "empty room card." For instance, you may have a picture of the moose snooping through the fridge; you can only put him down on someone's kitchen card.
This was difficult for my girls as they love the moose and can't imagine why anyone would not want him in their house.
Two thumbs up from this happy mom!
- Okay game - not the best Gamewright has ever made
By A6HXFDIC7DVTC on 2008-06-30
The good part of this game is that it's clearly suitable for young kids - not every game is, but this one is easy enough for even a very young child to play with no modification of the rules.
But there's not too much strategy to the game, and we find when we play that we ultimately all end up with very close to the same scores.
The children (aged 5 and 2.5) very rarely request to play this - they mostly prefer games with more strategy, like Sleeping Queens or dominoes. (And Candyland, which has *no* strategy, but I try to discourage that!)
Additionally - and all Gamewright games have this problem, as well as the games from many other companies - the cards aren't the best quality. This is on par with the cards from other card games, so I don't mark down for it, but it still is disappointing every time I realize how easily the cards are gonna split. *sigh*
