My tutors have asked us to get these games for our daughter(turn taking games). When looking on amazon, the feedback is that the 'original' version of these games were much better than the new ones.. I did not grow up playing these. Can someone pls tell me where do I get the 'original' versions. The online sellers are charging a lot for postage

We have kerplunk and it takes ages to set up, but even DS2 can have a go, with support. It seems fairly robust. I don't know if it's changed in the few years since we bought it

You could try this - looks quicker to set up and would be safer for one who mouths things, though may not be good for a nervous child.

You might want to try looking on eBay to see if anyone is selling the original versions - might be cheaper too!

I used to hate it when the SALT used Pop-up-pirate. The tension was unbearable and I couldn't control my startle reflex Blush. So humiliating.

No, it's this one we have. It's quite robust, but it's fiddly to assemble and takes longer to put all the sticks and marbles in than it does to play!

Connect 4 is good for turn taking, btw, even if your child doesn't appreciate the strategy involved.
