VERRRRRYYYY GLITCHY

Had an issue with the set-up; when asked to tap the figurine on the screen, nothing happened at all. I returned it, got another, and still had issues off and on. Sometimes it responds and other times it freezes. We restarted our iPad and it would work for that use. On the next use, it worked great, and then today, nothing. I wish we could consistently enjoy it. It was a Christmas gift for my son. He is so sad that he can't play when he wants. Wonderful idea. Trying not to regret this purchase.

Pros
  • This app brings classic games back to life and is very fun and entertaining. Keeps kids engaged.
Cons
  • App compatibility may limit usage on specific devices.

Did not work with Fire Tablet

I specifically read in the SPECs that these games work with the Fire Tablet. However, when I searched for an App, none was to be found for Tacto, Shifu, or by the name of the game in the Fire App store. After I was unsuccessful in finding an app, I made some comments digging and discovered that the company is building the Fire App, but it is not yet compatible. My suggestion is that compatibility should be future tense, not present. For Christmas, I purchased four Tacto games for my kids. Each…

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • Some pieces may be easy to misplace or lose.

Fun, interactive game!

My kids love this! I have an 8, 6 and 3 year old and they can all play together! It moves the pieces for you so there is no cheating involved which can be a problem with my older ones. They kids beg to play this together which is a total mom win. I love that its interactive, educational and fun!

Pros
  • Games & Accessories
Cons
  • May have a limited replay value after repeated uses.

Fun spin on family game nights.

My kids, 4 & 5, love this. The checkers is their favorite. I appreciate how the game helps guide them through the concept of the game. Great buy for a gift or as a new addition to your family game night.

Pros
  • The kit includes a user-friendly instruction manual, making it easy for children and adults alike to learn how to play the games
Cons
  • Some families may not have the necessary resources or funds to purchase a tablet device.

Convenient, Educational and FUN for the family!

Most cost effective than buying 4 board games, not to mention the physical space saved, we LOVE Tacto Classics games! Love that some games offer multiple players, while others are just for 1, perfect for family game night and giving the toddler some alone/downtime!

Pros
  • The interactive app that's included with the kit provides an exciting twist to traditional board games, making them more fun and engaging than ever before
Cons
  • May not provide the same level of interaction as physical board games.

Games with new feel

the board games come alive on the iPad. I liked the idea that it reduces the need to buy and maintain multiple boards. The animations are good and fun to play with. The figurines are properly sized and do not posses chocking hazard.The kids like it and so do we.

Pros
  • IN THE BOX - The Tacto Classics kit comes with 2 Frames, 4 Player Figurines and 2 Dice Figurines. Attach the 2 frames on either side of your tablet. The frames come with slots to place your figurines (The box doesn’t come with a tablet/smartphone).
Cons
  • App may drain battery life of the tablet quickly.

Partially Works for my opinion

I used this on a Kindle Fire 8 and found that the figurines didn't always register which for younger users would result in pushing into the touchscreen and frustration. I was only able to play 2 of the 4 games as the others would not unlock. I played tic tac toe and with the delay of the registering of the players, I would have rather just used paper. I played Ludo and found it pointless as it doesn't require any thinking or strategy. I couldn't play the other two but from the 20 minutes using…

Pros
  • Ideal for family game night, the Tacto Classics 4In1 Board Games Kit is the perfect way to spend quality time with your loved ones
Cons
  • May require wifi or data connection to use the app.

Good, but frustrating figures

Purchased the Tacto Classics and I thought that I would be able to just put the sides onto the tablet and play because we already have shifu plugo set. Nope, different shifu app to download. We have this game on a Samsung tab A and I took it out of its hard case so it had no protector screen to interfere either. There's ALOT of frustration with the characters not registering. You're supposed to be able to just tap the screen. I've tried holding, tapping, twisting and a majority of the time it…

Pros
  • COMPATIBLE DEVICES: Tacto works with a range of tablets: iPad 5th gen and above (iPad 2 and iPad Mini 1 not supported) Android tabs 7-inches and above, minimum 2GB RAM (Samsung Tab A and S7+ not supported), Fire HD 10 - 2021 (Fire 7 not supported). Tacto app is absolutely free to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and works even without the internet (no ads or in-app purchases).
Cons
  • May not be suitable for families without access to a tablet device.

Probably best for 5 and under

My 6 and 9 year old lost interest pretty quick. They said it seemed like it was for little kids. We got it as a "buy this product (a very cool interactive globe tho they did finish all the activities FAST) and get this one free” promotion or we would have returned it.

Pros
  • Board Games
Cons
  • May require digital literacy to fully utilize the app features.

Family fun! in my review

This is like multiple board games for the whole family. It's a great gift idea, saves space, and is fun for ages 4 to adults.

Pros
  • The Tacto Classics 4In1 Board Games Kit helps improve critical thinking skills, social skills, and fine motor skills, making it a useful tool for child development
Cons
  • May not encourage socialization or communication among players.

This was so fun! It taught my five year old how to play checkers and classic games on his iPad, while being educational too!

The Tacto app has a range of games - Legends of Ludo, Trolls & Ladders, PBJ Checkers, classic games with our own little twist.

Better screen time for kids, fun games for the family!

This has been so fun for my daughter and I! I absolutely love the concept of bringing a board game to life! There are games for 2 players as well as some for 1 she can play by herself and it’s a great way for her to get some educational screen time. The games are such a fun way for her to learn strategies and really get her thinking! Our favorite is the Checkers where we play peanut butter against jelly, it’s absolutely adorable!

Pros
  • The kit offers endless possibilities for creative play, enabling children to use their imagination and come up with unique strategies for winning the games
Cons
  • App compatibility may become outdated as technology advances

My kids loved the games!

I wanted an alternative to my children watching all day so decided to try Tacto Classic. Now if they are on my iPad all day, at least they are doing something and playing a game. My 4 year old and 6 year old were so excited and loved all the game options. The app was easy to set up and use. My kids were able to play without my help. There were a few game options so they can switch games instead of turning it off when they have enough of what they are playing. I highly recommend

Pros
  • Designed to be played by children aged four and up, the Tacto Classics 4In1 Board Games Kit is a superb way to teach your kids the value of healthy competition and good sportsmanship
Cons
  • Some families may not want to incorporate technology into their family game nights.
