Nick got a Sequence game from our very kind neighbor for his birthday. We already had the game but the neighbor did not know this and tore the cellophane of the box. Otherwise it has not been opened. Would you give this to another child as a gift ( great game!). We have 7 (!) birthday parties coming up!

yes, I would without a second thought. You can even re-shrinkwrap it if you get some more plastic stuff. I think they have it at Michaels and you use your hair dryer to seal it up.

Thanks Margaret!!! Think of the re-gifting possibilities!

Not tacky, just practical.

Well, I would notice, but wouldn't care. My kid wouldn't notice.

I wouldn't bat an eye. If I noticed it would be that I was glad that I didn't have to pick the wrapper off.

I would probably notice, but wouldn't care at all. As long as all the pieces were there I'd be happy!

I might notice, but you can also tell if a game has been opened and played with, so assuming the inside pieces are still in brand-new form then I'd regift w/o another thought.

Do all games come with shrinkwrap on them?

I ordered a snap circuits jr from amazon for a christmas present and that box didn't come shrink wrapped. My first thought was, huh that's weird - and my second thought was- cool - hope it's a trend.
