A completely updated version of the classic word game to appeal to the modern consumer. Every element, outside and in, has been revamped to improve the experience of playing this timeless game where every word can count! For 2-4 players. Scrabble, 5 Nov 2006 Scrabble review by Spider Monkey (UK) This is a classic game and with good reason. It's simple to play, but with infinite levels of game play for all ages and ability. Not only is it fun, but it stretches your vocabulary and mind as well. You'll have many a happy hour if you buy this. Highly recommended. Scrabble |

Twister is the simple game that gets more and more complicated as the players tie themselves up in knots. The playing mat is decorated with circles of red, yellow, green and blue where players must place their hands and feet. The mat is waterproof and durable with a wipe-clean surface. The spinner arrow is quick to assemble and easy to use. Twister Tales, 10 Oct 2001 Twister review by Mrs. L. M. Griffin "lisagriffin14" (UK) I (as a child) had many a happy time playing Twister with my siblings, we all got in a real mess with it, and found it great fun. I wouldn't hesitate in buying it for my children. Twister |

Articulate is ridicuously simple, fast and hugely entertaining.
Played in teams, the aim is to describe as many words as possible
to your team-mates within a 30 second time-limit, without saying "sounds
like" or "rhymes with". Don't just take our word for it though...
Articulate has been voted best game year after year
by radio stations, newspapers and magazines across Britain, and you
can even buy extra
packs so the fun will keep on going. |

As featured in "Hamley's Brain Gym", this ly compelling strategy game has loads to recommend it, including its originality and numerous international awards. The rules are easy to learn and games are fast paced, lasting for around 20-30 minutes. But by the time you've played Blokus once, you'll want to play it over and over again... Game of the Decade, 11 Mar 2006 Blokus review by "glenbush" Nanny really came up trumps with this one at Christmas ! Such a simple idea, but an EXCELLENT game......just can't stop playing.A raised plastic grid & games pieces in four different colours that are squares joined together in different formations.The goal is to cover the board connecting as many as your pieces as possible, but they are only allowed to touch in the corners. At the same time the idea is to 'Block' your fellow players......trying to think ahead is impossible, just as you have your next move planned someone gets in your way! Blokus is enjoyed by all my family from aged 8 upwards.....friends that played with us promply ordered two from Amazon....one for Granny! May you enjoy too! Blokus |

A fiendishly clever tile laying game. The city of Carcassonne in Souther France is renowned for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. Players must develop the area surrounding Carcassonne and deploy their followers on roads, in cities and in the fields. The players who are most skilful in developing the area will emerge victorious. You'll never ger bored of this board game, 8 Dec 2004 Carcassone review by "richie_abz" A friend of mine introduced me to Carcassone last year and it's spread like wildfire amongst my family & friends. The basic premise is that players take it in turn to pull map tiles out of a bag and place them like a jigsaw so that features such as roads, rivers, fields and cities grow. Any unclaimed feaure can be claimed by placing one of your characters on the tile, and you get points for each completed feature. There's a bit more strategy to it than that, but the basic game is very accessible, playable after 5 minutes rules, and the expansions really add to your options so that you can play as complex or as simple rules as you like (or as time allows). Typically a game lasts about an hour with 5 people, and I can't recommend it strongly enough. If you're considering buying any board game, you won't go far wrong with this one. Carcassonne |

Cranium is an outrageous, award-winning board game packed with fun for all the family! Whether you're an aspiring actor or actress, an artist, or a linguist, Cranium will give you a chance to shine! A must for every family!, 7 Oct 2003 Cranium review by "madz_27" What a wonderful, novel, fun game Cranium is! I went away on the annual family holiday armed with this board game and I can honestly say it's the most family fun we've had in a long time. The best thing about it is the diversity of the challenges - clay modelling, drawing, charades, spelling, humming, puzzles, general knowledge to name but a few, it's certainly not easy to get bored with it. I expected we would have a game one evening but we ended up giving up the nightly trip to the pub/club to stay in, get the drinks in and get this game out, it was hilarious fun. Age is no obstacle either, my two nieces of 8 and 10 played, along with myself (24), my partner (30), my parents (57 & 60) and even my Grandad of 85 had a go. One of my nieces has now asked for the game for Christmas and I know it'll be a good buy as it's a game that will come out of the cupboard time and time again... well worth every penny! Cranium |

Pick a ride, jump in and take a drive through the game of life. Stay clear of trouble, make all the right decisions and you could find yourself retiring as a multi-millionaire! Cruise around the playing board picking up money, Life Tokens and possibly even a family! But be warned, landing on the wrong spot could end up costing you a fortune. Game of Life , classroom toy for wet play!, 13 Oct 2004 Game of Life review by Jonathan Fiber (UK) This game is interesting and fun at the same time, it is sort of like monopoly but even better! The game includes daily jobs, houses you can buy and you make a family in your flash new car. I find it suprisingly long and very entertaining...like real life but just a game!

With rules that should be familiar to fans of gin rummy, Rummikub is the classic tile game that's guaranteed to get millions of hours of use in any family. Players must take 14 numbered tiles and try to lose them as quickly as possible by creating runs (such as 7-8-9) and sets (7-7-7). The most enjoyable aspect of the game - and the part that's best for stimulating strategic thinking - is that you can steal from and reorder the efforts of other players in your attempt to lose even more tiles. Brilliantly simple, simply brilliant, 4 Oct 2005 Rummikub review by By A Customer My daughter started playing this when she was 6 and a year later she is now learning the finer points of the game. She enjoys it just as much as her grandfather does. A great, non-gimmicky game. Rummikub |
