PENTE: The Classic Game of Skill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The game came much quicker than I expected. I ordered a vintage used game, so I knew it would be worn. The game inside was in great shape, the only worn piece was the tube the game comes in. I put clear packing tape all around to hold the peeling off paint and now it is fine.

Approximate playing time:5 to 15 minutes. For ages 8 to adult. Object:The concept is classic, a game that's fast-paced and easy to learn, yet difficult to master. Pente is a challenging strategy game, adapted from ancient board games and appealing to a wide range of discriminating tastes. The simple object of Pente is to get 5 stones in a row or to capture 5 points-masks an intriguing game that grows in complexity with the skill of the players.

Presto Change-O Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Perfect for someone practicing money skills! I'm a Special Ed. teacher and bought this game last year for one of my math classes to make learning about money more exciting. This game worked out great! The kids seemed to really enjoy playing and they were reinforcing their money exchange skills at the same time. This game is similar to Monopoly, only each player is expected to make change without going over a set limit of coins that they are allowed. This game is challenging enough to keep interest and fun to play with two or more people.

Personalitease Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally bought this game to use the questions during therapy sessions. However, I first played it with my family and we had a blast. The questions allowed us to get to know interesting facts about each other while engaging in rather clever banter. It was difficult to determine who responded when three of my sisters responded to the question in the same way. We did need to sensor some of the cards due to young children being in the room (not to mention our parents!) The game was timely and hillarious. Buy it, you'll have fun.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have purchased this game with some reservations (after all, how fun can a bunch of magnets be?). But my family had spent the entire weekend playing the game (from my 8-year-old to my high-schooler). The game really does have the elements of strategy and a steady hand. My younger boys were even making up their own variations of the game. The size of the game and box also make it easy to take along with us on family vacations. I will recommend this game to anyone looking for something different and fun!

The chaotic game of switching and swiping. The play is fast and furious. There are no turns. You start with a jumble of dinosaurs in your hand. Choose which one you want to build then start switching cards, by blind trading, with anyone who will trade with you. You can trade either like dinosaurs or like bones. While trading be sure to keep one eye on the table, because once the first player goes out, you want to be sure to swipe a bone to get your 50 points. The game includes 8 latex bones, 83 cards and instructions. There are 81 dinosaur cards featuring the 9 dinosaurs shown below, each made up of 9 bone groups. The last two cards in each deck are 1 Fake Bone Card and 1 Paleontologist Card. Each game also features a booklet of Fun Dino Facts for your family to enjoy. Play duration is 30 to 45 minutes.

Double Trouble Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game hasn't been in circulation in years and yet when I did get it I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. I never really played it since I had only seen it advertised on TV maybe once or twice but it peaked my interest. I never found it in the stores. I did find it here as I knew I would and I ordered it for my family. My youngest is in his late teens. We enjoy this game. I would recomend this game to anyone. It teaches so it's educational. So you can use it for teaching patience in little ones and with it's design you learn patience even as a big kid. So as a whole I would recommend this game for the whole family.

is a sweet copy of Double Trouble, the race and chase game of twists and turns by Milton Bradley from 1987. It is complete and you get the following: game board, 2 pop-o-matic dice rollers, 4 detour wheels, 8 arrow playing pieces (2 each of 4 colors) and game instructions. All contents are in good used condition. The box has normal shelf wear and a little rubbing along the top edges, but there are no split corners. This is a great vintage game in perfectly playable condition, you will not be disappointed.

Flea Circus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the box says the game is for players 6 and older, my kids have enjoyed this game at much earlier ages. I originally ordered this thinking it was a different game called Flea Circus by Reiner Knizia from Rio Grande. This is a similar but quite different game.
The idea is simple. You are setting up a flea circus and want it to be the most successful. You do this by playing cards in front of you. Most of the cards represent an attraction (i.e. Strongman flea, Fatman flea, Ice Cream Vendor flea, etc.). When an attraction is played, you lure audience members to your circus. These are represented by plastic dogs and cats. Depending on cards played by you and others, the dogs and cats can come from a general pool or from other people's circuses. Play ends when there are no more dogs or cats in the middle. The player with the most animals wins.
We sometimes play a less competitive version which is also faster. In this version we only take animals from the center and not each other unless the specific card says so (like Free Ticket of Animal Catcher). This avoids some disappointment. But either way my kids love the game. It is small and easy to pack for trips which is a real pus for me. Unfortunately it does have small pieces so parents should be advised.

STEP RIGHT UP! Calling all Cats and Dogs! The Flea Circus is about to begin! It's a wild time under the Big Top as dogs and cats race from one show to the next. Players use their best Flea Circus acts to attract the most cats and dogs. Play your cards right and you can steal the audience away from your neighbor! But watch out for the Animal Catcher... He'll snatch your cats and dogs away! With all this excitement, how's a Flea Ring Circus supposed to keep up? When all the cats and dogs are gone, whoever ends up with the most animals at their show wins the game! 2-6 players Awards & Acknowledgements...light, fast, and fun. Recommended Age: 6 and Up

Vivo Toppo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 5-year-old girl, so we could play it together in the evenings. The pieces are so desirable that game play is interrupted as they "talk" to each other (meow, meow, squeak, squeak etc)and she goes off on a creative story tangent, so we don't always finish the game, but that's fun too. Keeping the pieces in the set is a challenge as they wander off very easily! I think the mice are too wobbly.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Vivo Toppo

Players attempt to advance their mice (pieces) from the start to any of various goals. The further the goal, the more cheese (points) it is worth. Pursuing the mice is the cat that removes the mice from the game should it catch the mice.Movement is regulated by a die which has 1/1/2/3/4/5 on the sides. The "1" sides also move the cat. Initial cat moves are only 1 space, but become 2 spaces after once around the track, so when the cat speeds up, it's almost all over!Viva Topo! is a family game that has players balancing risk and rewards as they attempt to outrun the cat and score for cheese. Charming artwork on the board. Delightful wooden cat, mice, cheese, and oversized die. Rulebook in several languages, including English.Recommended for ages 4 and over.

Dancing Dice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a light dice game very fun for gamers and non-gamers alike. Very easy to explain, easy to start. The colors in my version don't match the dice (for instance, the purple person has pink dice). We pull this game out either to start the evening or end it, since it takes 15-25 minutes to play. It's the only way I'm going to get my husband to dance!

A dancing Mice Marathon is exhausting. But the prize for being the last couple standing is amazing! What type of dance would most impress the Jury, a Tango of a more challenging Tap-dance? A game of chance and bluff for skilled dancers! This family dice game is for 2-6 players, and takes about 30 minutes to play.

Math Noodlers Grades 2-3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We checked this out at our local library and are now buying it. What's great about this game is that it doesn't just focus on one math skill but touches on most that the 2-3rd graders are learning and keeps the game fun while really pushing them to problem solve and think through the solutions. The questions are very straight-forward and to-the-point. A very easy game to pull out and play in 10-15 mins.

Winomino Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We love this game! It is one of those rare games that all 4 of my kids (ages 6-12) can play and no one has an advantage over another. I love that they think they are playing a game, when really I know they are sharpening their math skills either by playing the game or just by building with the blocks. Highly recommend this game....it is one that is loved by all ages! It is also just as fun to play by yourself as it is with another player. This is one that will live on the coffee table for a long time!

The rules of Winomino are very simple: it is for one or 2 players of all ages ! Winomino is also an excellent educational tool for introducing children to spatial geometry. In 2-players mode, the winner is the first to make the designs shown on the cards. When playing alone, the aim of the game is to find as many Pentas as possible among the hundreds of thousands of possible combination's.

(More customer reviews)I've only played it once so far (with two players), but it was a pretty good strategy game. Just don't play with someone who will insist on analyzing every possible move before taking their turn.
