Little Adventures Costumes (ages 1-10) From personal experience, we know that favorite dress-ups are a hot commodity, worn over and over and OVER again. While we have wanted to offer reasonably priced dress-ups for some time, we have kept our eyes open for the most practical selection. These beautiful, durable, and modest costumes fit the bill. They are all designed by moms, constructed out of durable and comfortable fabrics, and machine-washable (but hang dry). Unlike much of what you see around the stores in October, these are made to last, and most feature a looser, stretchier fit for flexible sizing. So, if Mom’s time is at a premium and those repurposed formals from the thrift store are torn and grungy, you might consider one of these as a special treat for your dress-up-loving child.

Not <3yrs. 031017 (A) . . . . 30.00 23.50 Blocks & Marbles (ages 5+) Think of this set like a sturdy, wooden marble run! Blocks and Marbles sets are made up of wooden blocks, some of which are carved into long or short gutters, while others are designed for marbles to be dropped in the top, where they change direction and come out the side. Because there are no connecting pieces, children can play with them, stack them, and construct just like blocks, then drop a marble at the top and see where it goes! Components are simple, so combinations are nearly limitless and pieces from all sets are compatible. 1CHOKING HAZARD (4). Not <3yrs. Amaze-N-Marbles Basic Builder (ages 5+) E. Contraptions Plank Sets (ages 4+) With the same high-precision building blocks as the other KEVA sets, these ones aren’t geared towards architecture as much as contraptions. The smooth pine pieces are smaller and lighter, and they come with bouncy KEVA balls (roughly the weight and shape of ping pong balls so they won’t shake the wooden structures).

Fortamajigs (ages 3+) What else would you call a fantastic product that lets you create an instant play space anywhere? Fortamajigs take the frustration (and weight!) out of building a fort with blankets - and they have all kinds of amazing features to let kids customize their creations. Each Fortamajig measures 8’ x 8’ and is constructed out of durable lightweight fabric. Around the outer edges, you’ll find 24 adjustable Velcro loops, while the inside seams of the Fortamajig include 9 nylon-and-Velcro loops, designed for creating walls. Because the loops open and attach with Velcro, they can be easily attached to most pieces of furniture, tree limbs, stakes, or anything stable that you can wrap a loop around! The large number of loops inside and out allows kids to shape Fortamajigs into any number of structures. Additional features include corner pockets to add weight, a tent-like window with a cover that can be rolled up, and a door opening. Fortamajigs are machine-washable, appropriate for indoor and outdoor use, and come in single or double layer styles.

It includes eight durable lightweight fabric panels in a variety of brilliant colors. Each panel includes 12 nylon and Velcro tabs, which can be connected to other panels or objects. The tabs are on all sides of the panels, so you can connect them all together for a big nylon structure, or end-to-end to create play-spaces and mazes. The set includes six 33” square panels and two 58” long rectangles. Like the Fortamajig, the panels are washable, and can be used indoors or outdoors.

Makedo sets are made up of three parts: Reclips™, Lock-Hinges™ and a Safe-Saw. Reclips™ are a cross between a nail, a zip-tie and a nut and bolt. They are designed to securely hold pieces of cardboard together, but can be easily taken apart with a squeeze of the clip. Lock-Hinges™ are hinges that can be fixed into place, or allowed to move freely to create solid corners, doors, or other moving parts. The Safe-Saw™ is a tool for children to use in creating their cardboard masterpieces. It features a dull point for punching holes (for Reclips™), and two serrated edges for cutting through cardboard. The Kit for 1 contains 1 Safe-Saw™ and the Kit for 2 includes two of them. With the ability to cut, punch, tack together and hinge cardboard, the sky is the limit as far as creativity goes.

Rods are very flexible; you can touch the ends together without damage.

At 5" in diameter, they're not too large to play with in the house, nor too heavy. Their unique, openringed structure never deflates, retains its shape, and is extremely easy for little hands to catch and throw. Take them anywhere - to kick, throw, toss, hit, or bounce and if it gets dirty, just drop it in the dishwasher!

Sling Chute (ages 8+) In my childhood, I can remember getting frustrated with most parachute toys. It seemed like none of them ever worked right or they required precise folding before re-throwing. This outdoor toy is very simple to operate, and lots of fun. The bright 32" parachute is packed in two plastic ball halves with a latch. A nylon cord is attached for winding-up and slinging. It soars up to 40 feet; then the parachute opens for its trip back to earth. No careful folding - just stuff the parachute back in and you're ready to roll in seconds.

Playground Balls (all ages) These sturdy playground balls are just like the ones you might remember from school, and they’ll last a lot longer than the flimsy ones from the grocery store. Balls are 8 ½” in diameter when inflated and have a textured surface, making them easy to grip. We like them because they are available in every color of the rainbow! Use them for all kinds of outdoor activities and games, even as basketballs or volleyballs for informal yard sports.

They consist of a loop of rope, a length of rope, and a durable, jingling ball on the end. Just place the loop around your ankle, start it spinning, and skip over it with your other foot. Unlike jumping rope, it gets both feet coordinated to a different rhythm and takes up less space than swinging a jump rope. Great for active play, developing coordination, and burning off those extra calories! Skippers are available in different colors; see below for choices.

Instead of moving the rope and jumping over it, the rope remains stationary and the jumper moves around the rope in a variety of jumps. When I was young, my friends and I used to do this to fun chants, and we always had a lot of fun. This rope is a good value; it’s a continuous thin loop made of stretchy, durable material. The two rope holders stand with their legs about a foot apart, and five or so feet away from each other with the rope around the outside of their legs at about ankle height. You want the rope taut, but still loose enough so it can stretch. The jumper starts with both feet inside the two sides of the rope and jumps in and out.

Plasmacar (ages 3+) Some riding toys use pedal power, and others use electrical power, but never have we seen anything like the futuristic Plasmacar, which uses inertia, centrifugal force, and friction to send kids gliding along at up to 6 mph! So how does it work? To start moving, kids simply rotate the steering wheel from side to side, and off they go! To drive backward, they can turn the steering wheel 180° and twist from side to side, just as if they were driving forward. When they stop turning the wheel, they'll come to a stop. Made of sturdy plastic, this nifty ride holds up to 220 lbs if driven on a smooth flat surface (120 lbs if on a rough, uneven surface), so even Mom and Dad can give it a whirl! And they will, too - if my co-workers are any indicator! The Plasmacar is available in several different colors and comes pre-assembled.

Blow it up with the included foot pump, insert the plug, grasp the handles, and bounce away! Made of resilient vinyl, the ball can be used on almost any open, even surface, and can carry riders up to 240 lbs. To bounce, you sit on the ball with the handle between your legs, hold on, hop, and use the ball to cushion the fall and propel you into the next bounce – which is higher as a result. Hopping works out the legs, while keeping your balance makes good use of the abs.

To load, simply twist the barrel, drop a marshmallow into the chamber, twist it back, then pump a dozen times, aim and fire! The powerful design can propel marshmallows up to 40 feet – definitely far enough to surprise someone with a soft, unexpected missile.

At the beginning of the game, all cards are mixed and fanned out in a draw pile, and one card is selected to be the starter card. A player draws a snake card and if it can be matched color-to-color to the starter card, the player matches it up and the first snake is in progress. If the card can't be matched, then it's placed separately as another "starter snake." Players take turns drawing pieces, building on to snakes when they can and starting new ones when they have to. When a player completes a snake, they have to "hisss!" and then move the snake to their "snake pit." When all of the cards have been drawn, the player with the most snake cards wins.

To begin, lay out the island tiles, draw six Flood cards (which correspond to island tiles), and flip those tiles to their blue-shaded “underwater” side. At this point, players are randomly dealt Adventurer cards, each of which has a slightly different role and abilities. As the game begins, players (although taking turns) act as a team to accomplish treasure-gathering, shoring up flooded tiles, and (hopefully!) keeping everyone on stable parts of the island. On each turn, players can take several actions including moving, shoring up flooded tiles, giving Treasure cards to another player, or capturing a treasure. Then they must draw Treasure cards and Flood cards. This is the most unpredictable part, as you may trigger a rising water level which increases the number of Flood cards you have to draw every turn! If tiles aren’t shored up and a Flood card matching that tile is drawn again, the tile is permanently removed from the island. It’s a race against time to gather the treasures and leave the island as a group. If you lose a treasure or a teammate to the water, the game is over.

While the idea of locating a 4” animal in say, a yard, sounds challenging, the Snipes help you out. After 2 1/2 minutes away from the nest, the Snipes start to chirp… and after 5 minutes, the eyes light up (a huge help for late games!). The first team to find the opposing team’s Snipe and return it to the nest (where it will stop chirping) wins the game. Simple, active, and easy for all ages to play.

We chose this set for its durability and safety features. The two ladders in the set are constructed with high quality plastics and include uniquely designed weighted base bars for added stability during game play. Because the six bolas are made with soft (though strong) materials, even young children can safely play. The bolas (three each of red and blue) are carefully weighted to perform just like real golf balls. This set can be used both indoors and out and includes a handy carrying and storage bag. The patent-pending bolas are also available separately – in case you really miss the mark and lose the originals! 050155 Ladderball Game . . . . . . 34.99 28.50 9.75 050157 Replacement Bolas . . . . . 11.99 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.

If you do better with collage and sculpture than pen and pencil renderings, this may be your time to shine! Let your creativity rule as you build words in 3D using the items on hand…unless a roll of the die forces you to build with only string, use your weak hand only, or build with your eyes closed.

Each player (up to 4) gets a tray with 16 pattern cubes. In round 1, the top pattern card is turned over and players race to match the pattern. First player to correctly do so wins the card. Round 2 is slightly different: flip the card over and then roll all of your cubes like dice, using only the side that’s rolled up. You can re-roll as much as needed, but only the fastest player will win! In round three, players get 10 seconds to memorize the card, and then must use any side of their cubes to recreate the pattern from memory. The player with the most cards after 3 sets of 3 rounds wins the game.

Like a real tree, branches can split into sections and go off in all directions, so no game is quite like the last one. Unlike a real tree, the base is not rooted in the ground, so the object of the game is not to topple the tree when adding one of your colored pieces. Get a branch of 4 in a row of your color and you win!

The game is composed of a 16-square game board arranged in a 4 x 4 grid. Eight pawns (2 each of 4 different colors) start out the game, each color side-by-side on the two center squares of each side of the board. Twelve cards are drawn from the 60-card deck and placed around the board, showing patterns of three pawns of varying colors. Players then race to see who can be the first to spot a place where they can match a pattern on a card by moving only one pawn. When they spy a place, they shout “STOP!,” move the pawn and, if no one disagrees with the match, claim the card, replacing it with one from the deck.

If you can’t draw at all, don’t worry, you can still be a top contender! In each round a different person is the “Portrayer.” The Portrayer takes a card and slips it into the provided pocket so only the drawing on the top part of the card is visible. The Portrayer starts the 90 second timer and then quickly tries to describe the picture. The other players try to duplicate the picture as best as they can based only on the instructions given to them by the Portrayer. These are not simple pictures either – some of them are downright wacky, others are totally random, and all of them have more details than you’ll ever be able to capture in 90 seconds! After the 90 seconds are up, the Portrayer takes the card out of the pocket so he can now see the 10 criteria listed on the bottom half. He reads these criteria out loud one at a time to the other players, who grade each other’s artwork, not on how well it is drawn, but on whether or not it fits the criteria. For example, the picture may be of a cat sitting in an armchair knitting, and there is a mouse on the back of the chair and one lying on the floor. However, as mentioned the pictures have lots of details, and since the criteria is hidden you’ll never know which ones were important to mention! Some of the criteria may read “1. The cat is wearing spectacles.” “2. The armchair is striped.” “3. The mouse on top of the armchair is smiling.” Once everyone has had a chance to act as the Portrayer, players total their scores to see who won – and it could well be the person whose drawings are the “worst,” so long as they paid close attention to the frenzied directions given to them!

Color Stix are long multi-colored sticks, each adorned with 7 striped color blocks in red, blue, green, purple, yellow, and orange. The colors appear in a different order on each stick, with some colors repeating and others not used at all. This results in an assortment of sticks that look similar, but are different when you stop to analyze them. To begin the game, divide the stix evenly among the players. Then, players race to arrange their stix by matching colors before the timer runs out. Players line up their stix so that as many of the same color bands as possible appear in each row—the more matching colors, the more points you receive.

The first player to find the 4-part pattern across the edges of 2 tiles or the corners of 4 tiles wins that tile. The overall winner is the one who wins the most tiles.

The game is centered around two decks of red apple cards and one deck of green apple cards. First, 7 red apple cards are dealt to each player. These contain nouns like "William Shakespeare," "a locker room," "Green Bay Packers," or "chimpanzees." One player is chosen to be a judge, and they flip up one of the green apple cards with an adjective on it, such as "awkward," "obnoxious," or "fabulous." Then each player must select the card in their hand best resembling that adjective, and the "judge" decides whose card best fits that adjective, thus winning that player the green apple card. The player with the most green apple cards wins. New crazy associations are made every turn, and some of the unlikeliest matches will make everyone laugh! 4-10 players recommended. Apples to Apples Party Sets (ages 12+) The family/party version of Apples to Apples, this level is recommended for ages 12 and up, but as long as Mom, Dad, or older siblings are around to define the trickier words and people that youngsters may not know, everyone can enjoy this game. There’s no shortage of cards here either, with over 1000 adjective and noun cards included in the game! The Party Box and Party Crate have identical contents (every card from the original Apples to Apples game, plus Expansion Sets 1 & 2 for 1004 cards). The Party Box is packaged in a standard game box and the Party Crate is creatively packaged in a wooden “apple crate.” 025451 Party Box . . . . . 32.99 22.95 044690 Party Crate . . . 44.95 31.95 Oh, Really! (ages 10+) Most people would agree that justice is important, but the question in this game is how important is it compared to hope? Or government? Can you figure out how someone else would rank them? This game challenges players to rank five things in order of importance, but the difficulty lies in the random items included. Some of them are straightforward like ‘hair,’ ‘birthdays,’ and ‘clocks,’ but it can be hard to rank some of the more abstract concepts like ‘emotions,’ ‘peace,’ and ‘work.’ In each round, five cards are drawn and laid face up where all of the players can see them. One player is chosen to start, and that player secretly ranks the five items in order of importance. All of the other players try to match that player’s ranking. Then the chosen player reveals their answer, and each other player gets points for each one they matched correctly. After scoring the round, the cards are replaced with five new cards and it is the next player’s turn to rank them. You’re guaranteed to be surprised at the priorities of your family and friends!

It requires a minimal amount of equipment, so it’s also the perfect game for holiday get-togethers and game nights. The game contains six dryerase boards, six dry erase markers, a dry erase scoreboard, 12 tokens, 60 question cards (with 360 questions), a “Select-O-Matic 6000” and instructions. Each round one player acts as judge and reads a question like “What would make car rides more fun?” Each of the other players writes an answer they think the judge will like (such as “karaoke”) on their dry erase board. Then the judge reads all of the answers and secretly chooses his/her favorite, using the Select-O-Matic. At this point, the other players use their tokens to guess which answer the judge picked. When the judge reveals his/her answer, players who guessed that answer win points, as well as the player who wrote the answer. Play continues with a new judge and the game is over when the scoreboard is full. Although the winner is technically the player with the most points at the end of the game, I doubt any “loser” will feel like one!

(ages 14+) You’ll need a sharp mind and a quick hand to win this game! The general idea is that there are two “rules” which apply throughout the game, but the challenge is that these rules are constantly changing as players play cards. Each rule consists of two parts – who the rule applies to (i.e. all females, anyone wearing black, etc.), and what the rule is (i.e. must say “your honor” before speaking, must salute before drawing a card, etc.). To win the game, you must be the first person to reach the finish line on the board – you move forward by catching other people breaking rules, but you move backwards if someone catches you breaking a rule! The first player chooses a card from their hand to change part of one of the rules. Then they draw a new card from their deck and play passes to the next player. Play continues until someone reaches the finish line – most likely the player who can manage to ily am keep one eye on the rules and one eye on their opponents!

The Game of Putting Things in Order (ages 7+) If someone gave you a list of landmarks including Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House, the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower could you put these in order of when they were built? That’s the idea behind Sort It Out! – you don’t have to know the answers, just put them in order! Every player receives a cardboard card with slots cut out, and a group of five colored tiles that match the items on the question card. When a question is read, players take their tiles and secretly arrange them on their card to answer. When everyone has decided on an order, they display their cards, and players advance around the board based on how many of the choices they placed correctly. The questions involve topics from science, geography, math, common knowledge, sports, pop culture and more. The tactile ordering process and fact that everyone is playing every round makes it fun for the whole family – even people who dislike trivia games. The original game includes over 300 question cards, and 2-6 players can participate. The smaller Card version includes 80 question cards and equipment for up to 4 players. 047155 Original (ages 12+) . . . . . 30.00 23.95 047154 Card Game (ages 8+). . . . 11.50 9.20 047156 Junior (ages 7+). . . . . . . . 25.00 19.95 Anomia (ages 10 +) Quick thinking and instant recall will win the day in this fast-paced game of common knowledge. Three to six players face off, quickly flipping cards. All players must be ready because, if the symbol on the flipped card matches one shown, those two players immediately face-off, supplying an answer to their opponent’s category. The first to answer correctly wins the pair, removing the loser’s card to their win pile. If this reveals an additional match, another face-off occurs. To make game play even more exciting, Wild Cards may be drawn, causing matches between any two players. Each Wild Card shows two different symbols and remains in play until covered by a new Wild Card. Now players must constantly watch for a match to an existing card and/or the Wild Card each time a new card is flipped. The person with the most matches when the deck is depleted wins. Two decks of 92 unique cards and 8 Wild Cards are included. 049257 . . . . . . . . . 16.00 13.25 Wits & Wagers (ages 10+) Named “Party Game of the Year” by Games Magazine, this hilarious trivia guessing game is truly fun for all - trivia buff or trivia-phobe! To play, just lay out the football-field inspired mat, and give each player two betting tokens, a dry-erase answer card, and a dry erase marker. Each round, the Question Reader reads a trivia question, and then each player or team guesses at an answer and writes it on their answer card. All 700 trivia questions, such as “How many miles long is the Mississippi River?” have a numerical answer, so all players have a shot at guessing the answer. Players' answers are placed on the playing mat, from lowest to highest, and then they place their two betting chips on the answers that they think are closest. After everyone has placed their chips, the answer is revealed, and players who bet on the answer that is closest (without going over) receive additional chips. Then it’s on to the next round! Games are pretty short, consisting of 7 questions each, and the player/ team with the most points at the end of the 7th round wins! We like this one because everyone plays at the same time, and everyone can enjoy it, regardless of knowledge or age!

Surprisingly, the manufacturer has made over their excellent “trivia guessing game” into a family-style party game – with a lower price too! In this version, 3-5 players (or teams) receive a large and a small “Meeple” (wooden person-shaped marker), a matching dry erase card and a dry erase marker. One player reads a question, which is a trivia question with a numerical answer, like “How many men have walked on the moon?” Players write down their best guess on their dry erase card, and the cards are arranged from lowest to highest value. Now everyone places their Meeples on the guesses they think are closest to the answer without going over. Players can score points for either writing or choosing the winning guess. You don’t have to know the answer to win – you just need to figure out who might! This version includes 300 new questions (not found in original game), but can also be used with questions from the original version or expansion pack. 019405. . . . . . . . . . 19.99 14.95 m ily 60 Lights, Camera, Action!

The game is composed of two identical script books (containing 100 various 1-page scripts), script cards, twist cards, a game board and a cool director’s clapboard - all cleverly packaged in a wooden crate. The Director role rotates through the players, with the two other players becoming the actors in that round. The Director draws a script card, and the actors are given their scripts to look over and decide who will play which role. Here comes the twist – not only do the actors have to play the character in the script book, they each have to draw a Twist card also and act it out simultaneously. Twist cards contain things like “You are a 350-pound Sumo wrestler” or “You are having a sword fight with your opponent”. The goal is to make it through your lines without breaking the rules (laughing, breaking character, etc.), BUT to also try to make your opponent laugh or mess up. The twists are hilarious and the scripts are typically funny/goofy, which all adds up to a hysterical game! Please note that while the content is clean, there are a few scripts and twist cards referencing ghosts, witches, vampires and Halloween, but these items can easily be removed. 3-8 players. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1).

Settlers of Catan (ages 9+) This game is the perfect blend of strategy and luck. Strategy is important, but a roll of the die can cause even the most astute plan to falter or bolster a weak position. What really makes this game unique is that the game board is different every time you play which keeps the game fresh and the strategy ever-changing. Players each represent a group of settlers trying to establish themselves on the isle of Catan. To settle, you have to produce resources with which you can continue developing. The board consists of 19 hexagonal tiles, each of which represents a resource (lumber, brick, ore, grain or wool and one desert tile), which fit into a larger hexagonal frame depicting the sea. Number tokens, ranging from 2-12, are placed on each tile. Each player has a set of colored wooden settlements, roads and cities to use in their development of Catan. The game begins with an initial settlement phase, where each player gets to place two settlements on the corners of the resource hexagons, so that each settlement sits on an intersection of three different resources. Players also attach one road segment to each of their settlements, which can branch out on any path. At this point, with each player’s turn typically consists of three “phases”: rolling the two dice (the number rolled determines which resources are produced for that turn, and any player with a settlement on that tile receives resources), trading (for resources you the player needs), and building (using the resource cards in their hand to build roads, settlements, cities or buy development cards). The object of the game is to be the first player to reach 10 points, which are accumulated through developments like settlements, cities, having the longest road or largest army, etc.. Though this is a brief synopsis of the basic game, you will quickly see there is more to the game. Development cards can prove advantageous to the holder and detrimental to others; the robber could rob you of needed resources, and building on a harbor can provide you a more favorable exchange rate for trading. There are many different routes to victory, and those who conquer them will successfully settle the isle of Catan. 3-4 players, game time is approximately 60 minutes. Expansions are available, but they do not stand alone – you will need the original Settlers of Catan game. 005482 Settlers of Catan. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46.20 34.50 016281 5-6 Player Expansion. . . . . . . . . . . 20.00 16.50 This expansion set accommodates 5-6 players with more resource tiles, sea frame tiles, cards, tokens, other equipment and a few new rules. 016273 Catan: Seafarers Expansion . . . . . . . . 46.20 34.50 In this clever expansion, the settlers take to the sea to explore and settle the Isles of Catan. The board is now composed of a combination of smaller islands instead of one large island. Players also control wooden boats, and the instruction booklet contains 9 different scenarios to choose from. Along with a few new rules, this expansion also introduces a new, coveted resource – gold – and the dreaded pirate ship. You will still need the original Settlers of Catan game to play. 3-4 players. 048203 Seafarers 5-6 Player Extension . . . . . . 20.00 16.50 This expansion to the Seafarers game accomodates 5-6 players. Kids of Catan (ages 4+) A simplified and shortened version of the hugely popular Settlers of Catan, this game allows younger children the opportunity to help improve their new island home. Players move their cart along a rotating track (based on the roll of a die) to pick up the wood, brick and wheat necessary to build a new building in the town. After putting up three buildings, the player to build the new town hall wins. But watch out for Erik, who steals resources from the carts! 2-4 players can complete a game in about 15 minutes. 047605 . . . . . . . . . . . 49.00 34.50 Around the World in 80 Days Game (ages 10+) Based on the book by Jules Verne, players are members of a London club racing around the globe. The first player to circle the globe in less than 80 days wins. The board is a map of the world showing the stops and modes of transportation between stops Around the outside of the board are 80 spaces, so you can easily keep track of travel days. Travel days are determined by travel cards, each costing a certain number of days. Bonus chips, event cards, special travel arrangements, and the detective can help or hinder travel. Strategy plays a large role in this game, as you can choose the travel card that gives you money (which is pretty important), or lets you travel with a balloon, draw an event card, move the detective, become the starting player for the next round, or trade travel cards. An engaging family game for 3-6 players that takes 50-70 minutes to play. 047768 . . . . 37.95 27.95 1000 Bornes (ages 8+) This classic road race game is simple to play, mixing just a little bit of strategy with the luck of the draw. The game board depicts a road/track divided into 25 mile segments from start to the 1000 mile finish line. To play, all of the cards are shuffled together. Each player is dealt six cards; the remaining cards go face down in a draw pile. There are three types of cards. Distance cards (25, 50, 75, 100, or 200) allow you to advance down the track. Hazard cards can be played against other players forcing them to slow down or stop altogether. Remedy cards remove hazards played against you, while safety cards provide protection for the remainder of the game against certain hazards. Players take turns playing one card each turn in an effort to reach the finish line first.

Ga m e Automobile Game (ages 12+) From the makers of Settlers of Catan comes Automobile, a game that takes you back to the early days of America’s car industry. Pit your entrepreneurial skills against 2 to 4 other players to design, manufacture and sell cars in the early 20th century. Players make decisions about research and development, quality, production and marketing. In 2 hours time, you may be the equal of Henry Ford, William Durant and Walter Chrysler. 049359 . . . . . 50.00 40.00 s i am -F ly 61 Strategy Games Octi (ages 8+) In this perfect blend of strategy, movement, and checkers the two opposing players must choose whether to move or strengthen their pieces. Played with a small number of “pods” (playing pieces) and with simple rules, even the youngest strategist can learn the basic game in minutes. Like checkers, the goal in both the basic game and variations is to move one or more pods across the board. But players can only move a pod in the direction(s) of prongs which snap into each pod. So do you build a more agile, powerful piece or strike quickly? Children will grow their cognitive skills and learn to analyze and develop winning strategies as they play this modern classic. 033074 . . . . . . . . . 29.99 24.95 Tic Tac Chec (ages 6+) Although chess is the ultimate game of strategy, learning to play the complex game is often frustrating for beginners and children. This scaleddown introduction to chess acquaints children to the game with a 16-square game board and 8 pieces - one pawn, one knight, one bishop and one rook for each player. Players take turns placing their pieces on the board and then moving them and capturing the other player's pieces. Once captured, however, the piece is returned to the owner and put back into play. The player who aligns all four of his pieces in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally is the winner. The small size, less intimidating format, and quick set-up all add up to make it a perfect strategy game to share with kids, while the short game times keep it fun and challenging enough to play over and over. Game includes hardwood pieces, 5" x 5" board, and brief instructions. Winner of a Games Magazine Top 100 award, a Dr. Toy and Edusource Top 10 choice. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs. 020747. . . . . . . . . . 18.95 15.50 Skippity (ages 6+) A distant cousin of checkers, this strategy game uses 100 disks of 5 colors. The idea is to jump as many of these “skippers” as possible to make into complete sets (one of each color). Pick a skipper to jump over any other skipper horizontally or vertically; this captures it for you and removes it from play. Since you need sets of all 5 colors, the strategy is figuring out which colors to capture, while stymieing your opponent. Simple to learn and quick to play for 2-4 players. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs. 023026 . . . . . . . . . 19.95 15.50 Chess: Once a Pawn a Time (ages 7+) Chess is an excellent game to get into at a young age, but learning the moves and abilities of the different pieces can be a tedious, abstract concept. This introductory chess set teaches chess in a different way – through stories, with the pieces as the characters. Whether it’s the horse earning his knighthood by developing a new move, or the bishop remembering his move through the cut in his hat, hard-to-remember concepts are tied to easy-to-remember stories. Set includes two books (one about the basic movements and a second with more advanced examples) a board, and the playing pieces.

The secret is an innovative deck of action cards, which depict chess pieces and how they move. Once you become comfortable with the moves and powers of each piece, you can flip the board over and play standard chess. The game includes rules for two variations of play, 56 action cards, 2-sided chess board, standard chess pieces (white and black), a card tray, and standard rules. 010758. . . . . . . . . . . . 17.95 13.95 Team Chess (ages 5+) The challenge of the chess set just got much more intense. Two more players, 96 more squares, and some slightly adjusted rules – can you find a partner you trust to play with? There are five versions of chess outlined in the rule book: partner – four players in two teams must coordinate their offense and defense; quad – four-player individual chess, which leaves you three kings to checkmate; cut throat – three-player chess; match play – two-player chess on the expanded board, using either traditional rules or Team Chess rules; and traditional chess – a thicker line denotes the dimensions of a traditional chess board.

Blokus (ages 5+) A tactical (and addicting) game of strategy. 2 to 4 players can compete to get all of their plastic Tetris-shaped pieces on the board. There is a catch, however - a player's own pieces may touch only at the corners! Strategy comes into play as players discover which pieces they need to get out on the board early and how to best block other players from filling the board. Games go by so surprisingly quick you almost have to play another and another… Europe's 2002 Game of the Year. This game is also available in two different travel versions, suitable for two players: Blokus Duo and Blokus to Go! Both travel games are similar, but Blokus to Go! has the additional feature of two detachable storage panels that fold up the game for easy storage.

By the same makers as Quarto! this tricky game challenges players to move their pawns from one side of the square board to the other. Each player has one pawn, and they must move one space at a time across the board. Each turn they may either move forward, backward, right or left OR place one of his or her small wooden walls to impede the progress of another player. The only restriction is that you cannot completely wall in your opponents. 2-4 players can play at a time, so depending on the number of players, the character of the game can change dramatically. With two players, it’s a fierce and intense struggle to the end; with three or more players, every move will impact someone for the worse or better! Game play lasts from 10-20 minutes, and ties are impossible, although there are a lot of close wins.

A take on the old “dots and boxes” grid games, this more sophisticated iteration has two opposing players (one red, one blue) placing their wall pieces in turn, trying to complete whole squares while preventing the other player from doing so. Once they complete a square, they “claim” it by filling the square with a colored disk. Simple to learn, yet requiring astute, strategic thinking, this engaging game will be replayed time and again. 050161 . . . . . . . . . 29.99 24.25 Reflection (ages 8+) Invented by famed puzzlist Ivan Moscovich, this challenging game requires players to think quickly in multiple dimensions and with accurate foresight. 60 challenge cards feature colored spheres at random line intersections. Each of these lines becomes possible axes on which a mirror can be placed. He who hesitates is sure to lose, as only one player can reserve an axis line by placing their peg first. When all pegs are placed, a mirror is placed on each reserved line and players receive points depending on the color and number of spheres shown on the board and reflection: the difference between red and blue spheres, the number of green spheres, minus the number of yellow spheres. Quick to learn, the game can be played by two to four players, all of whom will rapidly hone their powers of reflection! 1CHOKING HAZARD (1).

Each player has a hierarchy of pieces, six to one, designated by the number of crosses along the back. Each piece can capture anything weaker than it, with the exception of the six, which can’t capture the one, and the one, which can only capture the six. Each player starts at the four corners of the cross-shaped board, with the object – the TriCross – at the center. Each piece can only move one space at a time, and if it ends up next to a piece it can capture (or if a piece it can capture ends up next to it), it has to jump over and capture it. Within those rules, dozens of different strategies are possible – lead your enemies into a trap by sacrificing weaker pieces, make an all-out dash for the Tri-Cross, or move slowly and surely across the board.

Ga m e Khet 2.0 Laser Game (ages 9+) As with chess, the goal of this game is to get your opponent’s king – or pharaoh in this case. That is where the similarities end. Your turn consists of moving one of your pieces, either to an adjacent square or in a quarter rotation in the same square, and then pressing the button to activate your laser. The idea is to move your pieces with angled mirrors in such a way as to “illuminate,” and thus “kill,” your opponent’s pieces – eventually “illuminating” his pharaoh. When you activate your laser, it can reflect off your pieces as well as your opponent’s pieces, so all pieces in the laser’s path need to be considered on your turn. The strategy requires a lot of careful planning, as you must activate your laser at the end of every turn – whether you are ready to or not!

Each player starts out with five cards in their hand, with the object being to be the first player to create a sequence of five of their colored chips in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). Drawing a jack allows a player to either remove an opponent's chip from the board or play their own wherever they desire. This is an exciting game of strategy the whole family can enjoy. Ours did!

It’s really a pretty straightforward game to play. Except for the fact that the game board is made up of rotating squares – one of which players turn 90° after each play they make. This, of course, changes the whole set-up of the game board – though players are still aiming to get five in a row. The travel game is made up of 4 squares (each with 9 depressions for the marbles), while the multiplayer version is made up of 9 of the same squares. Also, the playing pieces in the multiplayer version have a different color on each side, allowing 2 players to play one or two colors each; 3 players to play their own colors, or as a team against a single; and 4 players to play against each other or in teams of 2, utilizing each other’s colors. A versatile game that takes a lot longer to master than it does to learn. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs. 048449 048450 Take it Easy! (ages 8+) In this game, players each have their own board but are competing against the other players for the best score. Each board displays a flowertype shape composed of 19 hexagons. Each player chooses a board and then takes the 27 hexagonal tiles of the same color. These tiles feature three stripes; each stripe has a different point value (from 1-9) and corresponding color and runs a different direction. To play, one person is the caller. This person shuffles all of their tiles face down and then chooses a tile and reads the numbers off of it. The other players find their matching tile, and everyone places it anywhere on their board. The caller then chooses a second tile, and so on and so forth, until 19 tiles have been chosen and the boards are filled. The goal is to match the colored stripes in as many directions as possible. Any stripe that runs the length of the board in any direction (vertical or across either diagonal) and is all of the same color scores points, but if there is a segment of a differing color no points are scored. Because the tiles are chosen randomly and there are more tiles than spaces, the game will be different every time it is played, and variations are included for even more versatility.

Two players each begin with an identical light or dark set of uniquely shaped wooden pieces. They take turns placing them on a base, building a 4 x 4 cube. The object is to keep all of your pieces “in bounds” while trying to force your opponent to build “outside the box.” The first player to accomplish this wins.

One player takes the black disks, the other, the white. Players take turns placing disks on the hexagonal board, trying to trap and flip their opponent’s disks. The object of the game is to construct a string of five disks of your color on the white hexagons on the board, one of which must be on the outside ring. Because of all of the directions impacted by each move the game requires a lot Kewbz: The Game of Convergence (ages 8+) of strategic planning and acute attentiveness. The This game is not complicated to look at – 50 cubes, half advantage moves back and forth quickly and the blue, half yellow, and a board.

Fish Stix (ages 6-13) A new and colorful twist on dominoes! This game includes 72 fish sticks, 24 fish tokens, and 4 scoreboards. Each player takes a scoreboard and one of each of the six different fish tokens. To begin play, one fish stick is laid face up on the playing surface. Each fish stick is divided into four sections, with each section featuring one of fish. Three fish sticks are dealt to each player. The first player chooses one of their sticks to play next to the starting stick. They try to match as many of the fish as possible. Each match they make allows them to move that fish on their scoreboard, and they can move as many spaces as there are fish in the row. For example, if they match three of the fish, they have now made a line of two fish in three different types, so they get to move all three corresponding fish tokens two spaces on their board. They then draw one fish stick and their turn ends. The next player chooses a stick to play, and so on and so forth until one player has moved all of their fish tokens ten spaces to the end of their scoreboard.

Just stack the multi-colored caps randomly on the specialized board and players take turns rolling the color die and removing caps, which changes the game surface and creates new moves. Players take turns picking away the gameboard, and whoever is left stranded is out of the game. It’s simple but surprisingly fun and perfect for 2-4 players. Games typically last 15 minutes or so. The game comes with a 24-space gameboard to hold the caps, a color die, 48 caps of the four colors, and four tower (player) pieces. An expansion set is also available, which contains 48 additional colorful caps, another 4 towers, and an extra color dice. Use these if you lose pieces or to add even more moves to the original game!

Four flexible, triangular mats make up the game board, and can actually be assembled into many different configurations – with each one changing the strategy of the game to a degree. The Yikerz magnets are distributed evenly among the players and the goal is to be the first to play all of your magnets on the game board. Sound simple? It’s not. These magnets are really strong, and if you get too close you might cause several magnets to snap together, or other magnets to be pushed off the game board. In either of these cases, you have to add any affected pieces to your own stack of un-played magnets. After the first few, magnet placement can become tricky.

Qwirkle Cubes plays much like Qwirkle, except that the wooden tiles have been replaced with wooden cubes, each of which features all six symbols in the same color. Players begin by drawing six cubes from the bag. On each turn players roll as many of their cubes as they would like, add cubes to the grid in the middle of the playing surface, score their play, and draw replacement cubes from the bag. The rules for playing cubes are basically the same as in Qwirkle. You want to build lines of identical symbols in all six colors or lines of the six different symbols in one color. Each color or symbol can only appear once in a line that features all six colors or all six symbols. The rolling aspect gives players the option to change the shapes in their hand so they don’t have to wait for the opportunity to use that yellow diamond when they really need a yellow square!

The tiles each feature a swirl of up to four colors (red, yellow, green and blue) and a number of dots, from zero to four. On each turn, players choose a tile from their hand to add to those on the table. The only requirement is that the colors on touching tiles must match exactly, and you win points based on how many dots are found on tiles adjacent to the one you play. You have to look carefully, because it can be hard to find a spot to play your tiles – or to play them to their best advantage.

The game includes 108 black wooden tiles with a variety of colored symbols printed on one side. The idea is to create rows of shapes and rows of colors – without duplicating shapes within the color row or colors within the shape row. Points are received for adding to existing rows or creating new rows. The more tiles you can play in each turn, the more points you can score – so keep an eye out for the best match.

This unique and entertaining game is quick to learn and offers a well-balanced combination of luck, strategy, and speed. The pieces consist of point chips, rods in lengths of 1-5 (color coded), five dice (in the same five colors as the rods) and 30 truck cards. To play, each player receives 75 points in point chips. Then, each player takes a turn rolling all five dice in the ‘Receiving Loads’ phase. Each die tells you how many rods you must take of that particular color. For example, the ‘3’ rods are brown. If you roll a 2 on the brown die, then you take 2 of the brown rods. Once each player has had a chance to roll the dice and everyone has collected all of their rods, you move in to the ‘Picking Trucks’ phase. Each player draws a truck card face down from the draw pile. Each truck card features cargo space in a different size and shape. A white space designates the shape of the cargo area, and a number on the truck tells how tall the cargo area is (from 1-4). All of the players turn their trucks over at the same time and then race to pick a truck from those displayed. The key is to grab the truck that will most efficiently fit your load (the rods you received in the previous round). In the next phase, everyone loads the trucks they have chosen. The goal is to fit all of your cargo in the space, and points are deducted for unused space as well as rods that you could not fit in your truck. In the final phase the players must pay the bank for their deductions. A new round begins, and the game continues until someone runs out of points. When this happens, whoever has the most points left wins the game.

To win the game, you must be the first player to complete a 9-tile castle (in a 3x3 grid). To begin, each player is dealt four castle tiles, which may include towers, walls, or keeps. Towers and walls have different attributes, and must be similar by one of these to be connected. The towers and walls can be red, purple, or yellow and either curvy, zigzag, or straight. So you could start with a curvy purple tower, and add on a purple zigzag wall, or a yellow curvy wall, and so on. On each player's turn, they draw two more tiles from the draw pile, and then either build on to their castle, or attack a neighbor's castle by playing a wall card identical to one in their castle. Attackers are luckier if they play a wall card in a color that matches the adjoining cards - then they get all the adjoining cards of the same color! So sometimes it benefits you to build by shape versus color. Our testers loved this one! The rules are pretty easy to learn, and a good amount of strategy is involved, but it’s always limited by luck of the draw. 035496. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13.00 9.75 Labyrinth (ages 8+) This unique game board features square maze tiles permanently adhered to the board, with loose maze tiles placed randomly around them, and one tile left over. Players start their marker at a corner of the board and are dealt a hand of treasure cards. Each turn, a player picks up the extra maze tile and slides it into a moveable row of maze cards on the board, trying to manipulate the maze to move their marker to the next treasure they need to collect. Once a player has reached a treasure, they discard that treasure card down and try to figure out how to travel to the next one. It's not easy to plan though, as each player's turn could move you further from your treasure! Please note that the game board and cards include some "magic" treasures such as ghosts and fairies, so we also include two identical sets of family-friendly stickers so you can cover these items without missing out on such a well-designed and unique game. 012925 Labyrinth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29.99 22.75 037207 Labyrinth Junior (ages 5+) NEW! . . . 24.99 19.75 A junior version of the popular game, this Labyrinth has cuter illustrations and playing pieces, clearer pathways, and secret tokens instead of cards. 050216 Labyrinth – The Duel NEW! . . . . . 25.00 19.75 Want a change of pace from the traditional Labyrinth game?

Mastermind (ages 8+) Can you create a code your opponent can’t crack? In this classic two-player strategy game, the rules are simple; one player acts as code-maker and arranges four colored pegs behind a shield on his/her end of the board. Then it’s up to the codebreaker to crack the code, guessing at the sequence of pegs the code-maker placed, and trying to duplicate it on the board. After the code-breaker places a row of four pegs, the code-maker uses small white and red pegs to give the code-breaker feedback. A white peg means that the code-breaker has chosen a peg of the right color, but it’s in the wrong position. A red peg means that one of the four pegs is the correct color and in the right position. The catch is that the code-breaker has no way to know which one of his pegs is right without some trial and error! Play continues until either all ten rows have been filled unsuccessfully or the code-breaker breaks the code. The code-maker gets points for each row of pegs filled by the codebreaker, or 11 points if the code is not cracked. Then it’s time to switch roles and play again. Simple to learn but challenging every time, everyone can enjoy this brain-twisting challenge. 042834 Mastermind (A) . . . . . . . . 14.99 12.95 047714 Mastermind for Kids (B). . 13.99 11.95 Reworked for a younger crowd, this version is jungle-themed with six jungle animal pegs (each a different color).

Other than that, it works just like the original. sStr a te gy 66 A. See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels. Spy Alley (ages 8+) It's spy vs. spy in this game of secrets and mindtwisting strategy! At the beginning of each game, every player receives a spy identity card. The object is to win the game in one of two ways: by either collecting all of the spy items (password, disguise, code book, and key) for your spy's country and then getting safely to your country's embassy, or by looking at the evidence on your opponent's scorecards and removing other players by guessing their spy identity! Each round, players can buy spy items and keep track of items they have bought on their scorecard. Of course, the cards aren't private, so players can easily figure out which country you spy for if you are too obvious about which country's spy items you buy! Thus, players must strategize to win the game, deciding how to throw other players off their scent, as they collect the spy items they need to win. The concept is simple, the deception is difficult! Although noted as 8 years and up, younger children are often surprisingly good at this game! For 2-6 players. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1).

Detectives must work together to thwart his escape and determine how best to trap the elusive Mr. X. Will they make brilliant deductions, or will the clever Mr. X outwit Scotland Yard’s best?

The game features three location boards - Camelot, the Perilous Forest, and Cornwall. The other major components are the Character and Event cards. There are 60 unique Characters, each having varying abilities. To begin, each player receives five Characters, and they place one of them on any location. Each following turn, a player completes four "phases," which may involve drawing an event card, using a Character's special ability, completing an event, and either drawing, playing or moving a Character. Events are worth differing points, and players will need to play Characters with enough abilities in specific areas to win them. If your family enjoys medieval fantasy and strategy, they will love the rich cast of characters and adventure of Camelot Legends.

The Gem Deck contains 36 cards featuring diamonds, opals or pearls in different combinations of solitaires, pairs, or clusters on four different colored backgrounds. One card is hidden, and players must discover which jewel was stolen. Each player receives a Sleuth Investigation Sheet and their share of the Gem Deck. After noting the cards that they hold, the game begins as players investigate each other to find out what other players are hiding. To heighten the challenge, players are limited to what questions they ask. “One element” questions involve asking a player how many of a color, gem type or gem form they have, and “two element” questions are more specific with the questioned player forced to show you his/her cards of that type. Play continues until a player feels they know what gem was stolen, and a guess can be made at any time, but watch out – if you’re wrong, you’re out of the game!

With a compact board measuring 10” x 10” (with 225 letter squares), 100 specialty-sized letter tiles, and even smaller letter trays, the game is small enough to go anywhere. The best feature of the board is the tile-lock design, which allows players to snap their letter tiles into place so they can’t go sliding all over the board. Even if you’re not traveling, this feature can be useful for players who have a tendency to accidentally bump tiles around while playing. With the same bonus squares and tile points as traditional Scrabble but a more travel-friendly design, this edition is sure to be a hit! 025864 . . . . . . . . . 20.00 16.25 Almost everyone likes Scrabble, but it just takes so long to set up and play. Here’s a quicker, simpler version that can be taken on the road or played before dinner. Consisting of 110 cards (74 letter, 32 premium score, and 4 wild cards), the goal is to use your hand of seven cards to create the highest-scoring word and win the round. The premium score cards take the place of the double letter/word score squares; each consists of a letter with either a letter or word multiplier written below it. There’s no lengthy setup or teardown, just dealing out the cards and putting them back in the box. A good way to get in some quick wordplay. 2-6 players. 050096 . . . . . . 7.50 6.50 Bananagrams (ages 6+) If you like the idea of Scrabble but wish the game moved along much faster, try Bananagrams! You compete against up to 7 other players, but unlike Scrabble, you create your own crosswords and everyone plays at once. Select your tiles, turn them over, and start making connecting and intersecting words. All letters are the same point value, and you can rearrange your words at any time. When any player has played all his letters, he takes a new tile from the Bunch, as do all the other players. If a player cannot play a letter, he can put the tile back and draw three other tiles. Play continues until there are fewer tiles in the Bunch than there are players. The first player to play all his tiles is the winner of that round (if all his words are correct). Rounds typically take 5-10 minutes, and games consist of as many rounds as you decide. Variations of the game are also possible, even a solitaire game. Bananagrams comes in a convenient-for-travel cloth pouch that looks like (you guessed it) a banana, and includes 144 ivory-like tiles plus instructions. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs. Zip-It (ages 8+) From the same company as Bananagrams, ZipIt is a similar game with a few twists. First of all, it is composed of cubes instead of tiles, and each “hand” can be over in under a minute! The game contains 24 letter cubes in a brown pouch with two colored zippers, one on each side. The zippers act as scorekeepers, with players moving their zipper across the pouch, in line with the 0-10 “score sheet” printed on the pouch. Each player takes 12 cubes, then quickly tries to assemble a crossword, using all 12 cubes. Players can turn and manipulative the cubes however they’d like to accomplish this, and the first player to use all of their cubes calls “zip!” and moves their zipper one point. The winner is the first player to 10 points. As a nice touch, the game also includes a small dictionary of “weird words” or those tricky words that contain a ‘Q’ but no ‘U’ that are handy to know for word games. Like Bananagrams, everything tucks neatly into the pouch, so it’s great for onthe-go word game face-offs anywhere! 048112 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14.95 Gam es -W o rd 68 021253 Bananagrams. . . . . . . . . . . . . 14.95 020426 Double Bananagrams. . . . . . . 24.95 Play longer games or include more players with this expanded version.

Players score for each unique word they find and the player with the highest score wins. This edition has a larger (5 x 5) playing grid, which puts nine more letters into play than standard Boggle so you have better chances of finding more and better words. There are also new “double letter” cubes (like “qu” being on one cube) to make forming words easier. Included in the game are 25 letter cubes, the playing grid with a dome cover, and a 3-minute sand timer. With each game lasting only 3 minutes, this is quick and fun to play at any time! 025835 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20.00 16.25 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels. Appletters (ages 5+) From the makers of Bananagrams comes Appletters, an equally cute word-building game with a distinct dominoes flavor. Everyone starts with eight tiles, which feel like ivory and feature a bold, red uppercase letter. The first player uses as many of their tiles as possible and builds a word in the center of the playing surface. The next player must build off of the beginning letter or ending letter of the starter word to make another word. Because players can only add to the beginnings and endings of words, as play progresses, you end up with a domino-like trail of words across the table. If players can’t build a word in an available spot, they must pass and draw another tile. Like Bananagrams, there are lots of variations to make the game more interesting. The whole game is nicely packaged in a red apple bag with a zipper. Includes 110 tiles and instructions. 045985. . . . . . . . . . . . 16.99 Spill and Spell (ages 8+) In a crazy combination of Scrabble and Boggle, players try to beat the clock and spell as many words as they can. 22 letter dice are included in the game, and each player's turn begins by shaking the dice in a cup and spilling them on the playing surface. They then have one minute to spell as many words as possible. Can’t use all the letters? Just roll the remaining dice up to two more times, flipping the timer again for each re-spill. The longer the word, the more it is worth. Bonuses are added if you can use all 22 dice and you can even put your words into a crossword format meaning that shared letters get scored twice!

The object of the game is to score the most points by forming words of three or more letters. To play, shuffle and deal seven cards face down to each player and stack the remaining cards face down in the center of the table. Then, each player takes a turn by forming a word from the cards in their hand, stealing an opponent’s word by adding letters to form a new word, or simply drawing and discarding a card if a word cannot be formed. Longer words are worth more points, and you get bonus points for using certain letters or word groups.

If you fail to form a word in the given time, the first player to grab the Flash Round Token gets a chance to create a word instead. The player with the highest number of points at the end of the game is the winner.

Each player’s goal is to create five different words with their letter tiles (one 2-letter word, one 3-letter word, one 4-letter word, one 5-letter word, and one 6-letter word) before time runs out. As soon as one player creates all 5 words, the round is over and the player gets all the points from all the tiles not used by their opponents. If no one is able to make 5 words in the 30-second time limit, players may exchange any tiles they wish and then try another round. The first player to reach 100 points is the winner!

Then fold out the interstatelike game board and let’s go! The board has a four-lane divided highway with a grassy median in the middle. The seventeen concretelike letter tiles start in the median; these include most of the consonants in the alphabet minus rarer ones like ‘Q’ and ‘Z.’ To begin, split up into teams, set up the letters, and decide if you want to use the regular or challenging category cards. Teams take turns playing, or being “on the street.” The team “on the street” pulls a category card and reads it aloud while the opposing team starts the timer. Category cards include phrases like “part of a table setting” (easier) or “something with a bell” (more challenging). While the sand drops through the 30-second timer, the team brainstorms words that fit the category, picks one, spells it out and moves the matching letters on the board – all in 30 seconds! Let’s say the team “on the street” decided on ‘napkin.’ They would move ‘N,’ ‘P,’ ‘K,’ and then move ‘N’ again! Now the ‘N’ tile is one move away from leaving the street, and the opposing team will want to try to pull that ‘N’ back towards them on the next turn! The stakes get higher as both teams race to be the first to collect 8 letter tiles. Unique, fast-paced, and fun, this is great for multi-age teams on family game night or even for spelling practice!

Each side of every card contains a one-sentence riddle and the answer. Players divide into teams, and a reader on each team (this position rotates) reads the clues for their teammates to answer. The goal is to get as many correct answers as possible before the 2-minute timer runs out. Some riddles are obviously more difficult than others, so Hink-Pinks receive 1 point per correct answer, Hinky-Pinkies get 2, and Hinkity-Pinkities earn 3. The first team to reach 50 points wins. Play this game just for fun on game nights, use it for fun vocabulary practice, or take it on the road to pass those traveling hours.

US Presidents NEW! Warships Wonders of the World Brain Box Games (ages 8+) Are they trivia games or memory games? Actually, they’re both! Similar to the classic party game where you display a tray of objects, study it, hide it and write down as many objects as you can, the first player draws a card and is given 10 seconds to study the facts and pictures on it before passing it to the next player. The objects being studied are geography or science and nature themed—and instead of merely listing items you can recall, players are challenged to answer specific questions about the objects. The first player rolls the die to see which question about the previously studied card he or she will have to answer (questions can be found on the back of each card). If the player succeeds in answering correctly, they are awarded the card. Games can also be played solo by writing down answers and then checking them.

The goal of the game is to collect a colored ring from each category: Science, Today’s Life, Hall of Fame, Land Sea & Sky, Our World, and Media. The game board consists of color-coded spaces and six “Knowledge Bases.” In order to get the ring, you have to be on the proper Knowledge Base; but if you don’t know the answer when you get there, someone else gets a shot at it! Each card contains two different levels, one for kids 10 to 15, one for 16+, so that the game is fair for everyone.

But, wait, you say - won't Mom and Dad always win? I mean, they know everything! Well, not necessarily. Each game features trivia questions at two levels; an easy level for young children or people with virtually no knowledge of the topic, and a hard level for adults or older kids that might know a little more than they let on. Games consist of 30 sturdy, illustrated question cards, a three-numbered dice, and instructions. Each card contains six different questions - three in both the hard and easy categories. To play, mix up the cards, place in a pile, and the first reader will roll the die to see which question the first player will answer. The reader will ask that player the question indicated on the die (from either the easy or the hard group), and if the player answers correctly, they get to keep it. Play passes to the next player, and a different player takes a turn acting as the reader. With a huge number of game topics, there's a trivia game for just about any interest - and plenty that the whole family can enjoy together.

The small, portable game consists of nine dice with symbols printed on each face packaged in a sturdy flip-out box about the size of a card deck. The dice are printed with simple blackand-white pictures on each face for a total of 54 different images. A few examples include: a clock, a bee, a shooting star, a key, a flashlight, an apple, fire, a magnifying glass, a question mark, a book, a light bulb, and a tree. Originally designed for storytelling, there are three game ideas included inside the cover, each of which entails rolling the dice and using some or all of the dice to create a story. You can modify the number of dice, play solo or as a group for more variety. Of course, you could also use a roll of the dice to pick a theme for extemporaneous speaking, to inspire young children to write a story (using just one or two cubes), or as writing prompts. I’m sure you can come up with some of your own educational and party ideas as well! CHOKING HAZARD (1).

Well the answer is “to play” – whether you are a Shakespeare aficionado or not! Set in the 1600’s, players must travel around the board and collect actors, props, scripts, and patrons – and then put on Shakespeare’s plays. However, all of these things cost money, which you earn by answering multiple-choice questions about Shakespeare’s works or by entertaining your fellow players with short readings of the great speeches in Shakespeare’s plays. When you have earned the necessary amount and have collected all the necessary pieces (each play requires different things), you travel to a theatre and put on your production. After each play you put on, you total your score by adding up the theatre value, the script value, actor values and patron values. Some scores are figured by rolls of the dice, and others are listed on their tiles. Whether you are playing just for fun or to enhance your studies, you will have a great time with lots of educational value as well. Play time lasts approximately one hour, for 2-5 players. 045446. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19.99 16.50 Think-ets (ages 5+) Think-ets are pouches of miniature objects, ideal for playing all kinds of observation and storytelling games! Each pouch includes 15 different tiny objects, ranging in size from ½” to 1.” The instruction book lists ten suggested games, including the traditional “What’s Missing?” game where several items are displayed for everyone to see, then one is removed and players must remember which item is missing. You could challenge players’ memories in other ways by arranging, then moving objects within a group, or covering up the whole group while players try to remember all of the items. Or, you can play a more tactile game where players must identify objects with their eyes closed. You can use the objects to tell a roundthe-table story, where players select an object, start a story, and pass it on. Perhaps you can use some creative thinking to come up with different ways to categorize the objects. Portable and versatile, take these anywhere for an instant game or learning tool.

In this game, five word cards are displayed for all of the players to see. Each player uses the provided pads of paper to write a story (one or more sentences) of their own creation using all five of the words. If you use the words correctly, you earn the points shown on the card (either 5 or 10 per card). If you don’t know what some of the words mean, try your best to read your story confidently so the other players don’t challenge you! If you are challenged on a word, the player who is challenging you must offer a correct example of the word’s definition first, and then you can flip over the word card to read the definition. If you did use the word incorrectly and the challenger used it correctly, they earn the points for that word instead of you, but if they define it incorrectly you get those points even if your usage was also incorrect. These aren’t easy vocabulary words either – maybe you know what ‘timorous’ and ‘espouse’ mean, but can you work them into a story with ‘lachrymosely,’ ‘peruse,’ and ‘bemoan’?

But in this age of ipods and cell phones, opportunities for conversation are fewer, and the ability to converse easily with another person may not come as naturally as it once did. The Art of Conversation was designed to improve conversational skills. It has been used successfully in a wide variety of settings: family get-togethers, church groups, team building exercises, school classes, even dates for Mom and Dad! The game consists of 100 cards with 3 questions on each; questions on each card are related to the same topic, but vary in depth so that players of different ages and ability levels can all participate at the same time. The Children’s version features topics that are more relevant to their life experiences, with two questions each on 100 cards. So get the family and friends together and enjoy The Art of Conversation. l ona a ti 73 Monkey Math Balance (ages 4+) Help the monkey balance himself out by adding bunches of bananas together in each of his outstretched hands.

The card deck includes five sets of numbers from 0-16 and five "OY!" cards. The instruction booklet contains instructions for ten different games (plus variations) which challenge a variety of math skills.

Players must draw one card at a time into their hand and play them on the center pile as quickly as they can, adding or subtracting the corner number from the center number. The first player to run out of cards is the winner. So put away that calculator - you won’t have time to use it! 2-4 players, game time is about 5-10 minutes.

The card deck is made up of cards with addition and subtraction problems whose sums match the numbers on the board. Each player is dealt a hand of cards and receives a pile of chips in one color. Players then take turns playing cards and placing chips on a space on the board that features the answer (sum) of the addition or subtraction problem on the card played. Even children just learning their addition and subtraction facts can play, aided by the colorcoded cards and board which narrow down the possible answers.

This simple dice game is a fun way to improve mental math skills. The original game includes three standard 6-sided dice, two fancy 12-sided dice, a travel bag, and an instruction booklet. Rules of the game are simple. First, you roll the two 12-sided dice and multiply the two numbers to get a “Target Number.” Then you roll the three 6-sided dice and try to combine those numbers in any way (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, powers, roots, etc) to match or get as close as possible to the “Target Number.” For younger players, check out Math Dice Jr. which has only one 12-sided die (which is rolled to get the “Target Number”) and five 6-sided scoring dice which you add or subtract to reach the “Target Number.” Play solo or with as many people as desired. 034429 Original (ages 6+) . . . 5.99 4.95 048324 Junior (ages 8+) . . . . 7.99 6.50 Check Math (ages 8+) This 2-player game helps kids use their times tables and adds a level of complexity to the game of checkers. The board is a checkerslike 10 x 10 grid that is also a 100 number board. Each player starts with disks numbered 1 through 10. A turn consists of moving one disk to the next row, but the number must be a multiple of the number on the disk. If the opposing player can move a disk to that same numbered space, he captures your disk. Play continues until one player loses all his disks. The game was invented by an Australian math teacher based on an assignment in college. 031856 . . . . . . . . . 19.99 15.50 Mythmatical Battles (ages 8-12) Take part in an epic clash of the titans with this engaging, yet educational card game that teaches the multiplication tables. Each game includes two decks of cards: Norse and Egyptian or Celtic and Greek. The game is a face-off between two players, each of which “battles” with one deck. Decks consist of gods, monsters, heroes, minions, weapons and magic cards, each of which has an attack and defense value, or another special attribute. The game begins with both players drawing five cards from their deck and playing as many of them on the central “field” as possible. The first player then uses their cards in play to attack their opponent’s cards, using their card’s attack value against their opponent’s card’s defense value. Both values are stated as multiplication problems like “7 x 6.” Players can not only capture cards that have a lower defense value than the attacker’s attack value, but can also combine (add) weaker attacker cards to “gang up” on an opponent’s card. Weapons and other special cards can also add value to the characters’ defense or attack values. The game continues until a player has depleted their draw deck, and the player who has “plundered” the most cards is declared the victor. Besides the “battle” action, kids and adults are sure to enjoy the mythological tidbits on the cards. My only complaint? The somewhat vague instructions. You may have to read between the lines and perhaps make up some of your own rules to apply to various situations not addressed in the rules.

A mathematical equation is completed by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing two adjacent numbers, then putting a number tile with the result next to the empty square—to the right, or left, below or above the two original tiles. For an additional challenge, some of the squares are marked with specific operational signs—meaning that players are restricted to making equations that correspond to the signs on the square. The total amount of points earned per turn is the total sum of the value of all tokens placed in that turn; the player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner! Game contents include 1 game board, 4 wood racks (for holding tiles), 106 wood number tiles, a deluxe tile bag, and instructions. 029974 . . . . . . . . . . . 25.00 21.95 Gam es -E du c at al io n 76 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels. Skeletons in the Closet (ages 7+) Don't worry - this is not a game about finding out each other's deep dark secrets - it's a game all about bones! Several different games can be played with the game pieces, from answering questions about bones, to identifying bones correctly. The goal in most of the games is to be the first to assemble a complete, jointed plastic skeleton. In "Skeleton 16," players must answer true or false questions like "Humans and giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks - true or false?" If they answer correctly, they get to spin the bone spinner and collect a piece of their skeleton. There are some twists, however, such as milk cards, broken bones, and other players that would like to take one of your bones! Other games focus on correctly identifying a bone to build skeletons, or just being a speedy skeleton builder. The game is designed for four players and contains four complete adorable (we think) plastic skeletons that snap together easily and have working joints! The questions can be pretty tricky and you can require either common or scientific bone names for identification. No bones about it, this is a fun and educational game! 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs. 001507 . . . . . . . . 26.99 20.95 Linkology Games (ages 8+) These fast-paced card games reinforce science concepts by “linking” similar things together. Each game consists of 100 cards, some with pictures, some with words. Everyone starts with five cards, then one card from the draw pile is placed face-up. On each player’s turn, they play a card from their hand that relates to the top card on the discard pile, playing a word card on a picture card or vice versa. If a player can’t make a match, they draw another card. So, in the Human Body game, you could link the card picturing the “humerus” with a card labeled “bone” or a card labeled “in your arm” or a card reading “made of cells.” “New Link” and “Super Link” cards can be played to start new piles, giving players more options. First player to run out of cards wins. Up to 6 players.

Through a variety of fun and multi-level games, Somebody offers an easy introduction to anatomy - and a lot of competitive fun, to boot! The games center around the Somebody game boards, which picture a boy with outlines of the major organs and bones. Four sheets of re-usable plastic stick-on parts are used to place over the outlines on the game boards in each game. Instructions for five games, such as "Build Somebody" and "Somebody Fishing" are included, as are two decks of body part question cards. From personal experience, it's almost as much fun as Operation™, but you definitely learn more along the way! 003129 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24.99 19.95 Dino Danger Game (ages 6+) It’s dinosaur against dinosaur on the battle ground! Before battling, the two players line up four dinosaur cards in their “staging area,” and then take turns attacking their opponent by moving it into the “battle zone” while announcing the dinosaur’s name and attack points. The defender chooses his own dinosaur to take on the attacker, and the dino with the higher number of attack or defense points wins the battle. The dramatically illustrated dinosaur cards feature the dinosaur’s name, its meaning, its kind (aquatic, theropod, etc.), its superpowers, and its attack/defense points. In addition, special Dino Danger cards allow a player to roll the die to add more attack or defense points, or to automatically win cards. The basic game can be enjoyed by children as young as six, but use of the dinosaur “superpowers” and other variations are better suited to children 8 and up. A Dino Guide is included with additional dinosaur information. 004121 . . . . . . . . . 11.95 9.95 Constellation Connect! (ages 6+) This “Go Fish”-like game acquaints players with the constellations as it challenges them to make families comprised of constellations sharing the same area of the night sky. Players initially receive six cards, with the rest forming the draw pile. On a turn, ask another player for a specific constellation card. The player asked must give it to the player who requested it if they have it, but if they don’t, they reply “Shoot for the stars!” and the other player draws a card. Play continues in this way as all players try to collect all of the constellation cards that make up a family. Additional cards – Connect! and Night Sky – and a pyramidal “galactic die” add a few fun twists to the basic game. The game ends when a player runs out of cards by completing a constellation family, and then other players subtract the star points left in their hand from their points in their families. The highest score wins the game… and if it’s a clear night you all just might want to dash outside and see if you can find a few of those constellations for yourselves! An informational al tion constellation guide is also included.

In this game, players race to complete working 6-volt or 110-volt circuits before their opponents "shock" them or short them out. The game consists of 84 cards, which include power sources, energy users, connectors, fuses, switches, shocks, and shorts. At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt five cards. On each player's turn, they draw a card, then ask another player for a specific card. Finally, they lay down a card to build on to their circuit, or discard. Think you won't know enough to even begin? Don't worry, because there's plenty of illustrated examples and straight-forward information to get you up and knowledgeable about circuits in no time! 008146 . . . . . 11.00 8.95 Somebody: The Human Anatomy Game (ages 6+) See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.

With simple game play that focuses more on outdoor education rather than on competition, your family will be able to jump right into this board game. Players start at the camp and must answer multiple choice questions as they wander through the wilderness path on the board. The question cards each contain four questions at different difficulty levels, with players selecting their level at the beginning of the game. Questions test a wide range of animal and nature knowledge for the entire family, and the upper level questions can definitely be a challenge. When we played the game, one time around the board made for a very quick game with two players, so you might want to go around a couple of times to extend game time.

Game consists of a deck of full-color animal, insect, and plant cards, each with assigned energy points, with a list showing what it eats and what it is eaten by. After the cards are dealt, players engage each other in a "showdown" or a "challenge" to try and win cards from other players. Two "Death & Decay" cards and a few other twists add fun and excitement. The player who holds the most energy points wins.

Players roll the dice and try to answer “Knowledge” cards correctly to collect “Habitat” cards. Knowledge cards ask all types of questions about animals and the earth with multiple-choice or true/ false answers. Spaces in the path require you to return cards, gain cards, move back or forwards or draw “Wisdom & Consequence” cards which require certain actions. Educational and fun, players will learn a lot about the world around us as they traverse the gameboard.

Over a dozen animals specific to the respective region are included several times on the game spaces that make up the path. A deck of cards featuring the animals is included and players take turns drawing cards and moving to the animal shown. The first player to reach the end of the path wins! Special cards add even more fun to the game; certain animals make you move back spaces, take short cuts, lose a turn, switch places with another player, and more. The instruction booklet includes a bit of info on each featured animal, so kids can learn a bit while playing this game. The only difference between the African Adventure and Journey on the Amazon are the animals featured on the board; play is identical.

The twist is that in the first round, each player is dealt three cards, in the next round, four cards, and so on, up to the round 11 where players get 11 cards. After a player plays his or her last cards, everyone else gets one more turn to get rid of theirs, as well. 004343 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12.99 10.75 Swap! (ages 7+) Combining elements of Uno, and "slapping" card games, there's something for everyone in this game - especially young players. To begin, everyone is dealt ten cards. Cards can be plain and colored (purple, blue, green or red); and display either "Super Swap," "Switch Color," or "Slap!" directions; or are wild and contain "Swap" directions. Remaining cards are placed face-down in a draw pile, and one card is placed face up to make a discard pile. The first player must lay down a card of the same color as the card in the discard pile or a wild "Swap." If a player plays a "Swap," they must trade their hand with another player, but if a "Super Swap" is played, then all players switch hands with each other. If a "Slap" card is played, all players must slap the discard pile, and the last player to slap has to take a card from the player who played the "Slap" card. Swap! is unique from other card games in that whole hands of cards are constantly being traded, which means each player's strategy must keep changing with the cards, as well! 2-10 players. 033808 . . . . . . . 6.99 5.50 Nertz (ages 8+) A family favorite at our house, this is a fun, fast-paced card game similar to Dutch Blitz and Double Solitaire. While this game is much enhanced by three or more singles/teams, this two-player/team version is a good introduction. Set contains two decks for 2 players or 4 players on teams of two. Each team deals out 13 cards to the Nertz pile, lays four face-up on the table, and then flips through the remaining cards 3 at a time; looking for cards they can stack on their four face-up piles (alternating light and dark) or put in the middle - starting with aces and building up (you may play on other team's piles). The goal is to run out of the cards in your Nertz pile and shout out "Nertz" to stop all other play. Every card played in the middle is worth +1 point, while cards left in Nertz piles are -2. Add another deck for twice the fun - four single players or eight players in four teams! 034423 Red & Blue Decks. . . . 4.25 3.75 7.25 046025 Assorted Color Decks. 8.50 Ga me sEd u Dutch Blitz (ages 8+) The perfect family/friends card game for those cold snowy evenings. Dutch Blitz is a frenzied game with double solitaire-like attributes. Each player has a set of forty cards of four different colors, numbered 1-10. You are pitted against up to three other players with the goal being to be the first to get rid of your "woodpile" (a stack of ten cards) and yell "Blitz!" You'd better hurry, though, somebody else may beat you to it, and all of the cards left in your woodpile are negative points! The whole family will be addicted to this easy to learn, fun to play, contagious game of speed! 008863 . . . . . . . . . . . . 11.50 7.95 101 Best Family Card Games (ages 8+) This book has it all - Casino, War, Card Dominoes, Stops, Rummy, Solitaire - and that’s just the beginning. The book opens with games that very young children can enjoy with their parents and progresses to more complicated games for older players. The directions for each card game are explained clearly by Alfred Sheinwold, “one of the world’s top authorities on card playing.” Black-and-white illustrations, 128 pgs. Keep this one handy for family game night! 014825 . . . . . . . . 7.95 5.95 Phase 10 (ages 8+) A classic game we've enjoyed for years! The large deck of cards contains several each of the numbers 1-12, several skip cards, and a handful of wild cards. Each round, every player receives 10 cards. All players must then follow the "phase card," and try to build the sets detailed on the card, in order. For example, one phase might be "two sets of three." All players need to collect two sets of three cards of the same number and lay them down before moving on. As soon as a player makes a set, they move on to the next phase, so at any given round, players may be working on completely different sets. The first player to complete all the rounds on the phase card wins! 2-10 players can compete, and the more players involved, the more difficult it is for each player to make sets. A great compact game for travel! 009998 . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 6.50 at al io n 82 You’ll receive either one blue and one white deck, or one yellow and one red.

Flip Six (ages 6+) This is an easy to learn card game of numbers and strategy. Each player begins each round with six cards face down in two rows of three. Players are allowed to select two cards, one from each row, to be face up at the start of the round. Then, taking turns and following the rules set out in the instruction booklet, players trade and discard cards in order to get the lowest point value in their set of cards. Part of the challenge comes from not being able to look at any face down card before deciding to replace it with one from the draw pile. Each round may end under any of the three following circumstances: a player’s cards are all face up, a player has discarded all his cards, or a player calls for the end of the round because he believes he has achieved the lowest score. Scoring is based on the total point value of the cards in each player’s set at the end of each round. If a player has called for the end of a round and he does not have the lowest score, his score for that round will be doubled. The player who achieves the lowest cumulative score after ten rounds of play wins. Deck contains 55 cards. 049517 . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 5.95 A life science-themed version of Fluxx, this game plays similarly to Fluxx but cards and actions are themed to represent animals or natural elements. This game introduces “Creeper” cards, which means nobody can win if they are on the table. A fun variation with some neat twists! Tripolo (ages 6+) What do you get when you match 3 similar features in a row? A “Tripolo”! This is a fast-paced game where there’s no such thing as “waiting for your turn.” Players race to play all their cards by matching 1 of 3 features (animal, color, and letter) found on each card. Game play begins with a 3x3 grid of cards in the middle, and the remaining cards are divided as evenly as possible among the players and become each player’s draw pile. Each player starts the game with 4 cards in hand and will always draw a card after playing a card to maintain a hand of 4 cards. Players are able to play a card by spotting any 2 cards in a row sharing a similar feature and playing the third (by covering over the one in the row that did not match) to make a Tripolo. The player who plays all their cards first wins. Deck contains 64 cards. 049518 . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 5.95 Mille Bornes Card Game Classic (ages 8+) We all know that time spent on the road can be unpredictable, and in this game anything could happen! Flat tires, running out of gas, breakdowns – not to mention little things like stoplights and speed limits! This classic family card game requires players to log in 1,000 miles in a race across France. Players try to collect mileage cards and things like spare tires, gas, and more so they are ready to overcome any hazard that comes their way, while at the same time trying to sabotage other players’ progress. Game includes 106 cards, and is designed for 2-6 players. 041814. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16.95 13.95 RACK-O (ages 8+) The Rack-O deck is made up of cards numbering 1-60. Each player is dealt 10 cards to place in a rack with slots numbering 5-50 (counting by fives). As cards are dealt players place them in their racks, starting with the 50 slot down to the number 5 slot. The remainder of the deck is then placed face down in the middle to be used as the draw deck. In turn, players draw from the top of the deck or discard pile and replace any card in their rack, with the object of the game to be the first to organize your cards from the lowest number to the highest. Numbers need not be in consecutive order (although additional points can be rewarded for runs), but each card must be lower than the one that follows. An example of a “Rack-O” is: 3, 12, 13, 32, 36, 41, 48, 49, 52, 60. Contents include 4 plastic racks and 60 cards. 2-4 players. 050256 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12.00 9.75 Quao Card Game (ages 14+) Don’t skip over this one just because you can’t say the name – “Quao” is pronounced “cow” and she is “…an evil bovine with secret rules.” This unique card game will have players laughing non-stop as they seek to be the first to empty their hand and become the new “Quao”. There are many arbitrary rules, known only by and enforced by Quao, that bring lots of fun and maybe some confusion as other players try to avoid being penalized. Each player is dealt 5 cards, with the rest of the deck becoming the “draw” pile. The deck is composed of 5 “suits” each with a different type of answer or action to be performed, like naming, something you’re afraid of, challenging another player to a thumb war or making another player tell a joke punchline at the beginning of each turn. When the round is over, a new Quao comes into power and adds a new “Quao Rule” from the black deck. Game consists of four rounds – whoever wins the last round, wins the game. The sparsely-buthumorously illustrated cards give this game a lot of character, and while it is a little off-the-wall, it all adds up to great fun. Please note: one of the characters or “suits” is a donkey named JaQuas. rd 048439 . . . . . 9.95 7.95 Ca See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels. Ga m Fluxx (ages 8+) To start playing Fluxx, just shuffle the deck, deal everyone three cards and follow one rule, “Draw 1 card per turn. Play 1 card per turn.” The cards you play dictate the rest! Cards consist of: Keepers, Actions, New Rules and Goals. Keepers are the cards you “keep” – just play them face-up in front of you. Actions give you specific instructions to follow when you play them. New Rules are placed next to the initial rule, and go into effect, superseding older, conflicting rules, as soon as they are placed. Goals are the goal of the game, and the objective players should work towards to win (usually it involves having specific Keeper cards in front of you). Unfortunately every time someone plays a Goal card, it replaces the old one, so the goal of the game is always changing! Easy to play, ever-flexible - new players can even join at any time - and often funny, this is an excellent game to break out when you’re bored! 048445 Fluxx . . . . . . . . . . . 16.00 12.80 048444 Eco Fluxx . . . . . . . . 16.00 12.80 es - 83 Dominion (ages 10+) This addictive game may just dominate your game nights! It is composed of three different types of cards (treasure, victory points and action), with players competing to accumulate the most victory points. Each player starts the game with a “weak” deck made up of low treasure and point cards. Play moves clockwise, with each player shuffling their deck, drawing five cards, and using them to buy cards (action, better treasure, etc.). The action cards vary greatly, but all are designed to enhance players’ decks for future turns. The game requires delicate balance - you don’t want to buy points too early because they will clog up your hand and weaken your deck, but if you wait too long you might miss out! The wide variety of action cards makes each game - and strategy! - different. Please note that while the original and Intrigue games are stand-alone, all of the other sets are expansions and must be added on to one of those two.

Kids will love the bright pictures, and adults will love the challenge. Each puzzle consists of nine 4" x 4" flat squares which form a completed picture when arranged correctly. The trick to this puzzle is that an individual piece has 4 characters on it with only half of each character on each side. The sides of each piece then need to be matched up to the side of another square which has another 4 half-characters to complete the puzzle. That seems simple enough for the first few squares, but when you're left with only one piece which doesn't match up right, it takes lots of thinking and rearranging until you get all nine squares pieced together correctly.

It can get quite frustrating when you end up with one bead off the board and one open spot, but the more you try the closer (and farther) you can get. Once you master the 2D setup, you can play 3D Pyramid Kanoodle with the same key concept but one challenging twist - use all 12 pieces to make a pyramid. I hope you will find this as fun and challenging as I did. 031880 . . . . . . 12.99 10.00 Color Code (ages 5+) This puzzle is based on color, shape and visual/ spatial perception. Game consists of 18 transparent plates, each with a colored shape. Objective is to stack the plates in such a way as to visually match the challenge. Look at the challenge, choose the appropriate plates, and place them in the sloped display to see if it matches. Challenges consist of 4 levels of 25 each; while the starter challenges are not too difficult, some at the master level will take a bit of thought. 037260 . . . . . . . . . . 19.99 18.00 Block Builders (ages 5+) What can you build using just six blocks? Block Builders contains 50 different challenges, each presenting you with a silhouette and asking you to reconstruct it. It’s not as simple as it first appears: some of the blocks are hinged to transform into different shapes, and not all the blocks are required for some puzzles. Getting the puzzle right means sharpening those visual and spatial perception skills, architects. Puzzle cards also contain architectural quotes, terms, facts, places, and styles for additional learning. And if you’re tired of trying to solve puzzles, just let your creative mind take over. What will you build with these blocks as your tools? 049258 . . . . . . . . . 32.95 25.95 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.

A new vehicle is included with each set also. Please note that you must have a Rush Hour game to use these expansions. Rush Hour Jr. (ages 6-9) Rush Hour puzzles are wonderful for all ages, but once younger kids get through the beginning cards and a few harder ones, it can get too difficult for them. The solution to this puzzle? Rush Hour Jr.! It has all the fun of the original, with some minor changes. For example, the playing piece is an ice-cream truck that kids must guide through the maze of fire trucks, police cars, and other vehicles. The game comes with 40 new junior challenge cards and a storage bag to hold all the pieces. A great travel toy. 005257 . . . . . . . 17.99 13.95 Anti-Virus – the Bio-Logical Game (ages 8+) Get rid of that virus in the cell as quickly as possible! This visual and spatial perception game uses a unique board (the cell) with 9 pieces that slide diagonally to allow movement of the other shapes. The objective is to clear a path to the exit to get rid of the red virus. If you are familiar with Rush Hour, you get the idea. This game is more challenging than Rush Hour in that some of the game pieces are larger unique shapes and sometimes 2 or more pieces can be moved as a group. 60 challenges are provided at 5 difficulty levels, with solutions provided. Improve your mental health with this challenging logic game. 024571������������� 19.99 18.00 IQ Twist (ages 7+) There are so many puzzle games around, it’s difficult to find one that stands out from the pack. IQ Twist differs from the rest in several regards – its simplicity, its small size, and its originality. To play, you decide which of the 100 puzzles you want to do, and fit pegs into the board to match that puzzle. Then you try to fit all the twisty puzzle pieces onto the board and over the pegs– matching the color of the piece to the peg it fits over, of course. Each puzzle has only one solution, making some of them downright impossible. An excellent travel game, and a great way to boost IQ and spatial reasoning. 027746 . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.99 9.00 Tilt (ages 8+) This teetering logic maze will have you tilting the game board to slide pieces into place.

Several round slider pieces (4 blue and 2 green), plus 6 gray square blocker pieces are included. To begin, select a challenge card and place the blocker and slider tokens on the grid as indicated on the card. Your goal is to tilt the board to get the green sliders through the hole in the center of the game grid while leaving the blue sliders on the grid. (It’s harder than it looks!). You get 40 challenge cards with four levels of play (beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert), and solutions are included in case you get stuck. A handy game-go bag is included for easy storage—and playing on the go. 039667 . . . . . . . . 20.00 14.95 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.

In fact, they’re quite the opposite. They’re spheres! Each Perplexus puzzle is a clear, 3-D sphere, filled with a maze-like track that appears to twist and turn in all dimensions. There are dozens of barriers to overcome, each numbered along the track. Start the small steel ball at #1 and get ready to twist and rotate the sphere to try and complete the puzzle! Follow the numbered path, and keep trying! It’ll take more than one attempt to complete this challenge, and there seem to be many dead ends. Almost every angle, side, and rotation will be needed to move the little ball to the end... maybe if you rotate it, you can make it- oops! It fell off! It’s fun to play it on your own or race against a friend with another Perplexus. I must warn you, however: it’s completely addicting. You’ll never want to let go of it once you start. There are now three different Perplexus puzzles: the 6.5” diameter Rookie with 75 barriers, the Original with 100 barriers and a 7.5” diameter size, and the Epic, measuring 8.5” in diameter with 125 barriers and a more mature gray and blue color scheme. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1, 4).

Brightly colored tabs protrude like little spikes all over the outside of a transparent ball. A stretchy string is attached from one tab to another through the center of the ball. The object of this puzzle is simple – start by randomly arranging colored tabs to form a knot in the attached stretchy strings at the middle of the transparent ball. Then, unknot the strings by moving the tabs – a challenging task, because the strings are tucked inside the ball! This puzzle is loads of fun, a great conversation piece, an interesting coffee table adornment, and best of all, has no pieces to lose as it is a self-contained puzzle. 027491 Original (A.)

To play, simply trace your plastic stylus along the path from start to finish without lifting it over the lines or obstacles. As you work your way through the maze, you'll discover red bars that can be pushed to the left or right to create new paths. But watch out - you may trap yourself! 027822 . . . . . . . . 9.99 8.25 A.

Luckily (for those who might go insane trying to untie the “knot”), a solution book is included. 039990 . . . . . . . . . 11.99 9.75 B. Baffling Wire Puzzles (ages 8+) These puzzles are very durable and about 1-4 inches long, in varying shapes and sizes. One in particular is the well-known 3 rings puzzle, but you’ve probably never seen the others. These include a kind of “spring” looking puzzle, triangles, crosses, and all sorts of random metal pieces that probably look more complicated than they are. Most of the puzzles involve trying to separate the pieces. A complete instruction manual is included, which offers the suggestion to get some friends together for a “puzzle party.” A word of warning: once you start solving these, you won’t want to stop! The puzzles and manual are packaged neatly in a retro-style box. 032648 . . . . . . . . . 19.99 16.95 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.

Lions, hippos, giraffes and camels of red, yellow, green and blue are set up on the game board as shown in the challenge in the game notebook. Only one animal may cross the bridge at a time, and the type of animal or the color of the animal must be the same for the next animal to cross. The object is to get all 16 across in a way that follows these rules. 60 challenges with 5 levels of difficulty are provided in the game notebook, with solutions. 021792. . . . . . . . 24.99 19.95 Colorku (ages 8+) Enjoy Sudoku with colors instead of numbers!

The puzzles are solved when the player ends up having one and only one of each color ball in every row, column, and square. Solutions are included.

Your vocabulary will get a real workout alongside your problem-solving skills at the upper levels, as there are many possible words using different pieces, but only one combination that will fit – sometimes with an obscure word or two in the mix. When you’ve solved all of the puzzles, extend the fun by making some of your own to challenge another player! 039614 . . . . . . . . . . 20.00 14.95 Meta-Forms (ages 6+) The goal in this game is to arrange 9 shapes of 3 different colors onto a 3x3 game board. A small top-flipping notebook-type puzzle book displays information about the puzzle. It contains clues about how to set up the puzzles, which become harder with each flip of the page (ranging from beginner to expert). White boxes show where the shape could go, but be careful. The color and shape are not always given together; it could be a partial clue that hints at just the shape or the color. Keep trying and you will find the only possible solution to each puzzle. This is certainly a good introduction to puzzling for younger audiences, or a good mental exercise for more advanced groups. 033048 . . . . . . . . . 19.99 16.75 Solitaire Chess (ages 8+) Condensing the most exciting part of chess into a puzzle game, Solitaire Chess gives you 10 pieces (a king, queen, and two knights, rooks, pawns, and bishops) and 40 challenges.

There are 40 challenge cards in four difficulty levels, from beginner to expert. It is a single player game, and solutions are included if you’re stumped… or if the lifelike chocolate pieces are distracting you! 043665 . . . . . . . . . . 19.99 14.95 See inside front cover for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.

When we tried it out, we were won over by its texture, its pliable state right out of the package, and the impressive-looking results of our projects! One of the coolest clays we’ve seen, each type of ClayZee air-dry clay is formulated to resemble a natural material, including rock, wood, stone, pottery and cork. They all air-dry - without cracking - into a nice hard finish (except for cork, which dries to a spongy texture). When your project is dry, you can paint it or leave it “natural,” whichever suits your artistic vision. Create your own realistic looking “fossils,” sculpt items that look like they’ve been carved out of rock, and mold your own super-lightweight cork signs! We offer several activity kits, which include supplies and instructions for one specific clay project, and refills which provide 5 ½” x 3 3/8” x ¾” blocks of the clay. Tools and molds from the activity kits can be reused, so if you really like making fossils, just add a Rock ClayZee refill for more dino claws! The results are so unique, if you try one type, you’ll probably want to try another. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs.

SkyRacers are launched by a plastic rubber band “catapult” and lack a propeller. They can fly over 100 yards. SkyRyders feature a wooden stick “core” and a rubber band that attaches to the propeller. When the propeller is twirled, it winds up the rubber band and will fly up to 100 yards when released. A battery-powered winder is also available for the SkyRyders, if manually winding up the propeller gets a little old. Each kit contains several full-color foam glider pieces and decals, a nose attachment, and either a rubber band catapult or a propeller and rubber band. No glue or other supplies are needed, simply slide the pieces securely together, and you’re ready to fly! Whether you prefer the catapult or propeller powered planes, both are ready to fly after a quick assembly and have sturdy nose attachment to protect the gliders from front-end damage on landing. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1).

The first price with the red line through it is the item's suggested retail price. The second price (in bold) is our selling price. Please note that although we try our best to hold to published prices, prices are subject to change without notice. Bac korder Policy Although we try our best to anticipate demand and keep our products in stock at all times, items occasionally go out of stock. These are temporary backorders and will usually arrive in our warehouse within a week or so. Because we receive stock every business day, we hold orders with backorders up to five business days. If after that time the backordered item has still not arrived, we ship the portion of your order that is in stock. The backordered item(s) will then be shipped to you with no additional shipping charge after we receive it from the publisher or manufacturer. Temporary backorders are not listed on our website. We currently do not have the capability of knowing at the time the order is placed if any item is on temporary backorder. If you like, you can call us the next business day at 888-841-3456 to find out if any ordered items are on backorder. We do list publisher backorders on our website. These are backorders where we know of a delay on the publisher/manufacturer’s part. Orders with publisher backorders are handled the same way as temporary backorders, as we keep the item on the order and send it to you after we receive it. We charge for the entire order up front and ship backorders with no additional shipping charge. If you choose to cancel a backordered item after your initial order has shipped, you can do so and specify how you would like the money for that item refunded to you. In some cases, an item may be on publisher backorder for longer than anticipated. You can call or email us at any time to get an update or cancel the backordered item and request a refund. If a publisher decides to stop producing an item that we have listed as a backorder, we will automatically cancel that item and send a refund check. Backorders will not be cancelled until you request it or we are notified by the publisher that the item is no longer available. 128 ORDERING AND SHIPPING GUIDELINES TO RECEIVE ORDER BY CHRISTMAS (for 48 contiguous states) ORDER DATE Thru 12/12 12/13 - 12/15 12/16 - 12/19 12/20 12/21 EXPEDITE?

This unique and original game challenges players to remember where hidden walls are in an effort to navigate their playing piece around the board. To get started, players randomly slip wall segments into the bottom half of the board. The walls are always set up differently, so the game changes every time you play. The top half of the board is then placed on top, making the walls “invisible,” and the board is spun around several times to further confuse players. The board is divided into squares, with most of the squares displaying an icon of an object. A token that matches one of the icons is drawn and placed on its corresponding square. Each player starts with their magnetic game piece in one of the four corners. Each piece has a metal ball “attached” directly underneath, so it can slide along the board. The goal is to be the first player to maneuver their piece to collect the token on the board, but if a player tries to move through a wall, the ball will detach and that player has to start over again. As more and more walls are “discovered,” players will be challenged to remember where each wall is in order to successfully navigate the board. When a token is collected, a new one is placed on the board. Once all of the tokens have been used, the player with the most tokens wins. Please note that the box and directions are heavy on the concept of “magic”, although you can avoid these terms and still enjoy the game. For 2-4 players. 050210 . . . . . . . . . . 30.00 24.95 My Invisible Diary Sets (ages 8+) This is the perfect gift for kids and teenagers who want to keep their diary secret.

Toy helicopters you can fly yourself are even cooler. With a compact design, controllable flight, and a sweet eagle motif, this copter is an easy-to-use delight. Designed to withstand plenty of crashes, the Flying Eagle has twin rotors and a small weight at the top for balance and steering. The infrared controller has a range of 30’, allowing the careful pilot plenty of room to test his skills.
