I never played this game when I was growing up. I'm 31 now, and I've had my ouija board for about 2 years. I origionally bought it for my 12 year old stepdaughter, and I was also curious to see if it would really work. Well, I found out quite a few things about the ouija board. One...it works...two...not for everyone...3...use it carefully......I myself cannot work the board. I've tried many times, and it just doesn't work. When my friend has come to visit, I've managed to get her to play, with a lot of begging, and it always works very well for her. I also pursuaded my mother to try it, and a neighbor, and they too got good results. It's been very enlightening for a skeptic like me. I don't really think kids should be playing without the supervision of an adult. I'd like to get one of wood, but the glow in the dark one is great too, especially when you want to turn out all the lights, It lights up really well, too bad it fades kind of fast though. Still, if you have any doubts about the spirit world, get yourself one of these and a partner, and find out for yourself! Just make sure you know what you're doing first and remember that it doesn't always work for everyone.

I had gotten the 2012 from the library. It was chocked full of great-to-know information so I had to purchase this year's version!
