However, most reviewers agree that the tiles lock into place well, even staying put on airplanes. They also say that it's compact and lightweight, and they praise the inclusion of the tile bag.

The colors of some of the tiles are prone to fading, according to some reviewers. They also say that it can be difficult to tell the difference between the orange and red ones. Most reviewers, however, praise the traveling case and the sturdiness of the tile racks. Many reviewers said this is a great game for the family.

Save your paper with this magnetic version of Hangman. Whenever a correct letter is guessed, it's placed on the game board. If an incorrect letter is guessed, then a part of the unlucky cowboy is placed instead. The aim of the game is to guess the hidden word before all of the cowboy's body parts are in place!

Several reviewers criticize the quality of the letters since they are made from a foam-like material instead of plastic. Some reviewers also say that the hanging motif is unsuitable for young children. However, they like that the magnets make this game suitable for traveling, and it's a big hit with many kids.

Some reviewers couldn't get the bottom trays to sit correctly, and others say it difficult to get the counters out of the sides. However, they note that its small size makes it ideal for travel, and the game is simple but fun to play.
