Ouija Board Game

I have owned and admired talking boards for years. I love reading about the history and looking at vintage boards online. I have a small collection started and I am happy to add this rather interesting take on the trademark Ouija line.The board itself is the same size as the glow in the dark board. The surface is not as smooth though and has a slight roughness to it. The planchet once again has felt stickers on the feet instead of the plastic caps that were on the glow in the dark Ouija so it does feel a bit different sliding on the surface of the board but it still slides rather easily and should not cause any problems.The planchet seems to work really well. I have not experienced any of the problems that other reviewers have. The mechanism that turns the light on and off is really easily triggered by simply resting your fingers on the planchet with little to no pressure so it shouldn't hamper the movement any. The light comes from two ultraviolet LEDs which cause all of the white letters and numbers to glow as it passes over.The board itself does also glow like the previous Ouija but because it is made to look like wood it does not glow quite as brightly as before but it doesn't need to with the light up planchet. It serves more as a cool effect because whatever area you are working on the most with the board will slowly become charged by the light and glow for a short time before dimming and going back out.The overall experience of using this board I would say is a bit different than other boards in the past because you will be in almost complete darkness when using it. Even a small candle produces enough light to see around a room in a way and the glow in the dark Ouija was rather bright for a few minutes after it was charged. With so little light it does kind of create a spooky atmosphere when using the board.The last hidden feature is revealed by the planchet because around the board in ultraviolet ink several messages are printed over the board that you can only see when the lights go out and the planchet finds it's way over to them. The content of the messages I wouldn't say is overly useful. I would have preferred for them to put words or phrases that would be used more for a session but it is considered a toy so there you go. If you don't like the hidden messages you can just use an old planchet and a candle and you would never see them.The back of the board is also made to look like wood and the box art is rather attractive. I am looking forward to what collectors have to say about this board in the future. If you want a detailed look at the board I have made a video on YouTube titled "New 2013 Ouija Design" which shows all of the hidden messages as well as how the board works in the dark.It is so cheap I would recommend buying it. If you give it a chance I am sure you will have some fun with it.

I just received the board earlier before writing this. The design of the board itself is quite nice. Let me remind you that as with Ouija Boards put out by Parker Bros. or in this case Hasbro Games or any other toy company they are always going to be cardboard. One can buy a wooden ouija board on the net. However, I recognize the affordability which is why I too bought this one. The planchette lights up with batteries but for me it's an unnecessary extra. I understand people's complaints concerning the planchette: it is too bulky to fit in the batteries for the unnecessary extra (wooden boards are easier to work with because the planchette slides more smoothly across the board). Nonetheless, if spirits are really present then there should be no real difficulty for them spelling out their messages. I had the glow-in-the-dark board several years ago which I had no luck with. We shall see...

It was my very first time purchasing and using this kind of board . I just used it two days ago after I purchased it. I had to make my own mind up of how and when I was going to use it, while making a comfortable relationship with the board. My experience shocked me, Donald my spirit guide told me all I asked. It moved my whole body and stopped in each space to reveal the unknown to me. When I was finish the back of my neck was hurting my sign that lot's of energy was being used through me. I had the whole body tingle, I watched myself being used, and now my concentration is more in-depth than ever before. I love it, my mommy was near!

When my daughter's birthday started getting close, she kept dropping hints about how badly she wanted a Ouija Board. I tried explaining to her that it was just a game, no different than Monopoly or Clue. Being 10 (almost 11) years old, she of course knew better than mommy. Since she never asks for anything and this was the only thing she really wanted, I decided to get it for her. She was totally thrilled when she opened it. She immediately wanted to talk to a ghost. I must admit, it is an absolutely beautiful board. They textured it to look and feel like wood and the planchette glows a spooky purple color. Unfortunately, the texture of the board causes a bit of a problem. The planchette has a felt type material on the bottom of it and it is supposed to easily glide across the board, but the wooden texture makes it difficult to move. In a way, that's a good thing, you can definitely tell that the person next to you is moving the planchette. I think she finally understands that it's just a game, but she still loves it. If you're looking to have a night of spooky fun, then this is great. If you're trying to communicate with spirits on the other side, not so much....

The Ouija Board has a nice design,but the Planchette is Big/Bulky and has unnecessary switchboards and electronic attachments inside of it,to make it light up and help to light the ouija.Its so heavy,that it dosent move across the board.I could feel it move Very slow,which made it unenjoyable.So what I did was,took the little feet off of the bottom, I took the screws out,I pulled the planchette apart,pulled out the plastic viewer and what you have is a lightweight planchette,that can glide across the board:)There is no light on it,but I use Candles anyway to set the aura.So overall its fine,except for the model of planchette that's included*
