TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
High-octane adventure continues with the release of Disney/Pixar's Cars 2 on June 24, 2011. Lightning McQueen and Mater head to the World Grand Prix where they get caught up in international espionage. Hasbro is reimagining some of its classic games in the style of Cars 2.
Hasbro's Pictureka!, the fast-paced game where players must be quick-eyed and fast on the draw, now features the Cars 2 characters in the unique Pictureka! style. There are four different ways to play the game. For fast and frantic fun, there is 8-Away where you try to be the first to get rid of all your cards. In Alphabetti, players race to find pictures starting with a series of letters. For calmer gameplay there is Matchureka, which is a memory game, and Pass the Pics, where players must combine, match, and pass cards to complete missions.
Cars 2 Pictureka! comes with 78 picture cards (including three spare tire wild cards), 32 mission cards, and instructions. It is for two or more players.
Why It’s Fun
Kids will like playing with the stars of Cars 2 through this fun new card game. We like that there are multiple ways to play and the game is different every time you play. While kids are having fun playing, they will also be reinforcing basic thinking and learning skills. The game is easy to slip into a pocket or a purse for on-the-go fun. It makes a versatile and affordable addition to family game night.
Who It’s For
Cars 2 Pictureka! is for Cars fans ages 6 and up.
What to Be Aware of
In addition to the four different games, you can also choose to play a shorter or longer game by agreeing to collect or play a different number of cards to win. The games can also be played in teams of two.
