Cons:
Birds and Pigs made of cheap plastic

Clumsy hands will have trouble with this game
The angry bird board game or the angry bird knock on wood board game is the first board game adaptation of the video game being released. This new board game is not that similar to monopoly but more on the side of hungry hippos and mouse trap or other games like these that have some forms of interaction and not just moving player pieces and playing cards on a square board. This new board game tries to mimic the video game so you can play angry birds in real life.
The angry birds board game will not give you the usual square board to play with but it will give you several pieces of bricks or blocks that have different sizes and length to build a structure with, a few birds and pigs and a slingshot that you can use to propel the birds to shoot down the pigs.
This new board game basically has the same gameplay as the video game. You will need to shoot all the pigs down that is on some kind of structure to win the game but also adds more fun and excitement in terms of making you create the angry birds level yourself by using the blocks included in the box. This angry birds board game can be played by 2 or more players and the one who toppled the pigs successfully in several self-made structures would be declared the winner. You can choose to avoid the rules and the games mechanics totally and just build the structures yourself and have the satisfaction of toppling it down.
But, the knock on wood board game has its own drawbacks. The pigs are made with plastic that is rounded which makes them hard to stand up. Making the structures given to you will not be easy especially to those that are a little bit clumsy, have big hands or small children which is the target audience of this toy. And some structures instructed in the board game needs some balancing between the blocks. The number of blocks given in one angry birds board game box are only a few and only when you have played your new board game will you realize that you can only create simple structures with this game. If you have played this game with more than 2 players, the game will definitely be longer and can be quite repetitive in some cases.
