We simply cannot get the damn mule to stay down, so we cannot play the game!!We carefully followed the instructions, but his feet will not stay on the ground!
My daughter is very unhappy

I used to have this game as a youngster and I loved it so much.
Now, playing with my two children it fills me, and my children with frustratation.
Yes, I know I’m alot older now, but you have to have a very heavy hand before good old Buck, bucks, you certainly didn’t when I was younger.
My son is 4 and he gets very annoyed when he gently puts the items on and I have to tell him to push down a bit more, and then a bit more…..it really does spoil it for him.
So obviously I wouldn’t recommend this game at all.

This toy is not as much fun as you remember it being. I bought 3 in total and none of them really worked very well. My son got so bored after 3 rounds without a buck (on the last game I bought)that we put it in a box and have not used it since.. I hoped it was just the first game I bought being faulty but nope all 3 worked terribly, sorry to disappoint anyone thinking of purchasing one for themselves or a child..

This is a classic gamic which I remember being brilliant from childhood. The theory of it is brilliant, load items until the donkey throws them off but this version is cheap, tacky and it doesn’t even buck unless you prod it roughly once all the items are on. The items to load are all very poor quality.
The mechanism to reset the donkey is also difficult to operate.
Another game which has been completely ruined by poor production and cost cutting.
Don’t waste your money on this version. If you have a very young child ‘Bounce Bounce Tigger’ is much better quality and works slightly better than this game.

I have fond memories of playing this game when I was a child, (over 30 years ago), so I bought one for my son’s fourth birthday. The first one would not ‘buck’ at all, even when set to ‘difficult’ so it was exchanged. The replacement is only slightly better. The new mule, according to the box is supposed to be ‘moodier’. It looks a bit more colourful but the old version definitely worked better. You shouldn’t have to get all the paraphanelia on and give it a poke before it goes off. It ruins the excitement.
