Gogos Crazy Bones is based on an Ancient Greek game, called Tabas.  In order to play any one of the various games, each player must have a number of small, plastic, cartoon figurines called Crazy Bones.  Although any figurine can be used in any of the games, which range from activities much like the old game, Jacks, to bowling, certain figurines are better for some games than others, and choosing the right kind of Crazy Bones can be integral in the outcome.

Four series of Crazy Bones were made, and, generally, each has 80 different figurines, each of which comes in one of four different colors.  On top of that, there are generally 5 rare crazy bones, called, ‘Most-Wanteds’, which look cooler than the ‘Normals’.  These are usually higher in their attributes than the ‘Normals’ also.  For reasons of competition and collectibility, the Most-Wanteds are highly desirable.

… Perhaps too desirable.  It can be extremely difficult to track down the Most-Wanteds, especially at an affordable price, even by scouring eBay and other Crazy Bones sites.  At least, it can be a harrowing task for a parent who does not want to alert his/her child to their purchase beforehand.

So how do you get ahold of Gogos Crazy Bones?  The best way I have found is to simply buy the upgrade packs.  The Most-Wanteds appear in them and they do not cost a lot of money.  They are also a kind of double-gift because each pack may contain one of the Most-Wanteds, so your child will experience the thrill of opening your present, and then the box inside of it.

There are four series, and they are distinguishable by material or color.  Series 1 is the normal color set; Series 2, Gogos Crazy Bones Evolution, has some translucent Crazy Bones; Series 3, Explorer, has a metallic color added to the mix; The Advance series comes in the Tin Boxes; and Series 4, Power, has half normal, half metallic bones.  Happy Hunting!
