What people are saying about Flibbix®

The National Parenting Center

"Odds are you have never played a game like Flibbix before. Here's the reason why...There Are No Rules....well not until you make them up! Testers, both young and old, thought that was just awesome. Featuring durable plastic pieces that magnetically snap together to create a unique game board, able to change with each playing, Flibbix was downright entertaining from start to finish. Parents reported that the whole family was in stitches and as a result it earned, in the case of many testers, an honored position in the Family Game Night cabinet." Flibbix wins the 'Seal of Approval Award' from The National Parenting Center.

Parents' Choice

"What could be more fun than creating your own game and playing it? Flibbix answers that question - again, and again....This innovative flexibility means that it’s absolutely possible to play a different game every time. Testers suggested that when players develop a game they enjoyed playing as much as designing, they write down the rules and take a picture of the game board - preserving the fun and the challenge."

Mom's Best Network

"Any parent knows how quickly kids get bored. Flibbix by Merillian provides the cure for any child's boredom...Flibbix is easy to use, highly adaptable, and endlessly fun. By giving kids more board game options, Flibbix is new every time they play. Flibbix offers parents an amazing value. Because every game played is new, it's like getting thousands of games all in one box. The product's flexibility makes it easy to adjust difficulty level and game play length to accommodate any group or situation."
Flibbix wins the "Mom's Best Award." Here's what the Mom's Best parent testers had to say about Flibbix (or click here for more):

  • "The kids loved being able to make up the rules, and the whole family had fun!"

  • "Truly an excellent idea – it was so rewarding for the kids to play their completed game!"

"My kids had an absolute blast playing it, laughing their heads off at the back-and-forth nature of the game. For a nice change of pace from most kid-friendly board games, my wife and I enjoyed it quite a bit as well....I definitely recommend Flibbix to anyone with kids—the box says ages 7 and up, but I think many slightly younger kids, like my [five year old] daughter, will have no problem with it provided someone helps them read the cards and tiles."

April Chambers
Manager, Kazoodles Toystore

"A week or two ago I blogged about some games and mentioned the fabulous Flibbix. I have since gotten several chances to play and it is AMAZING!...I heart, heart, heart, Flibbix...While I sometimes dream of having the most well-stocked game cabinet on the block, I think that I could just own Flibbix and Settlers of Catan and be happy."

Shane (Age 9)

"I've always wanted to do this! I've always wanted to make my own game."

Jack Dawson (user review on UnclesGames.com)

"Flibbix is one of the most inventive games around, and truly is a blast for virtually all age groups. My wife and I found it to be the most fun when playing with children, or when getting creative with some of our friends and creating our own variants to rules, and our own 'grown up' play style. The magnetic tiles themselves (which you use to build your own board) are incredibly fun to arrange in all kinds of crazy shapes, and you can easily 'flip' them over to change what each square does. Flibbix is by far and away the most innovative 'board game' I've seen in quite some time... it's a must buy for any 'board game' fans!

Maddie (Age 7)

"Flibbix is G-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-d (the more O's the better!)."
