Guide Review - Kim Possible Board Game

Players try to be the first to complete four missions (e.g. Get Ready for School, Eat Lunch, Capture a Monkey Ninja) and then capture the evil Dr. Drakken.

The board is divided into four sections: Kim's house, high school, the jungle, and Drakken's lair. On a turn, you either spin a spinner (basic) or roll a custom die (advanced), determining which character you move and how far. To complete a mission under the basic rules, you simply have to land on the correct face-down tile.

Advanced rules require the roll of a die; if that number is higher than the number on the mission tile, you earn it. And look out for the moving walls.

The Kim Possible game captures the spirit of the television series, and it's a good -- but not great -- game.
