This is without a doubt, a fantastic idea. My wife hates exercise, but is extremely competitive. This game is perfect of her and gives her motivation to actually workout.

The game is made up of quality items, and set up such that it can be played over and over again, which is a key to getting people to play again. Obesity is taking over the U.S., get the game for your family/wife/kids/spouse, and see the changes that take place! I can't believe it took this long for a game like this to be developed.

This game is an excellent motivational tool for those couples with a competitive nature. If if you don't win the points for the week or month, you can still win in making excerise a habit and loosing weight. I've lost 7 pounds in the first two weeks of "playing."

This game is alright..nuthing great...u have to be really takin it seriously to actually keep up with it..but if u just think its a silly game..its no use.so in the end..its about urself

My husband and I are ultra-competitive when it comes to athletics -- so I was a bit concerned that the game would create more fights than fitness. Instead, it's been so fun and and, because of our competitive streak, definitely motivating. The first week, he wasn't so into it -- but when I won the week (8 to 5), he ramped it up the second week, which is where we are now. On days when normally I would have wanted to just sit in front of the TV after a long day at work, I am motivated to get moving to earn my stars. We're playing the instant-gratification version, so the one with the most points at the end of the week wins a smaller prize. The cards are way fun, and I love that they include things for kids so the whole family can get involved. When we have kids, they're totally going to be playing this with us!

I convinced the women in our neighborhood book club to each buy this game to get us to exercise. I had already played it with my husband and loved it. Our book club tried group diets before but to no avail. Seems like we all start out gung ho but each week, more and more drop out. But this game works by having you play against just one other person. So we paired of 2 by 2. It not only brought out our competitive spirit but it became a matter of pride - we didn't want to lose to our partner. We finished our eight weeks and everyone had so much fun with it. Some exercised more than others but we all felt that we were winners because we all exercised at least three times a week for the eight weeks - a far cry from what we used to do.

As for the quality of the game - it is really well thought out. The rules are simple to understand. The game board hangs upright. Most of us put it on our refrigerator (it comes with magnets.) It was fun when we'd go into each other's homes and see how many stars were on their board. The game is reusable. In fact, a lot of us are already planning to play it again for another 8 weeks. You track your exercises by peel and stick stars and they worked well. No one had any problems with any of the game pieces. Even when my kids slammed the refrigerator door, my game stayed in place. Great concept!
