Double Nine dominoes with a "spin". Eleven tiles with the Spinner symbol add interesting offensive and defensive strategies to the game. Spinners are wild. Spinners are once again our most popular domino game, closely followed by Mexican Train Dominos.
Packed in a decorative tin case.
Two teams race to identify drawings done by their own team members. But the artists don't know what they are drawing -- they can only follow the instructions given by another team member. Laughter erupts as players attempt to follow direction and to guess what is being drawn.
With Backseat Drawing, there's no time to stop and ask directions -- the fun never stops!
Box of Golf incorporates a little bit of luck and a little bit of strategy into a fun board game for 1 to 4 players. Just as in real golf, the object is to finish all 18 holes with the fewest number of strokes. Players select their "club" by choosing how many dice to roll for each particular stroke. Each player has a limited number of "gems" (glass beads) which they can use to get their ball out of a tight spot. Wise use of these gems is the key to winning the game.
A classic from Ravensburger. One player is Mr. X who slinks around London. The other players cooperate to try to capture him in the streets, alleys, and undergrounds. The highly original movement rules make this an absorbing game.
We have friends who teach college by day and play Scotland Yard again and again by evening.
Your goal is to gather all of the treasures and return to home before the other players.
The catch is that at the beginning of each turn, a player moves one row or column of the board. Passages of the maze open, others close. You may find yourself in quite a different situation from one turn to the next.
Like all games from the Ravensburger company of Germany, the Labyrinth games have superior components, interesting concepts, and balanced interactive play. Satisfying to see and touch. Stimulating to think about. Highly recommended.
Blokus is a game that our staff agreed instantly, is very, very good. Each player is trying to put more of her blocks onto the board than anyone else. We sometimes say that Blokus is a hands-on multi-player Tetris.
Each player has a selection of differently shaped pieces. One piece is a single square, others are 2,3,4 and 5 squares in different configurations. A player's pieces may only be put down such that their corners touch. Pieces of one color may not line up along an edge. Naturally you will want to put down your pieces in a way that stymies the competition and keeps your options open.
Easily learned and fun to play. Adapts readily to 2,3, or 4 players (All four colors are played in every game). If there are fewer players, they take turns placing the "neutral" pieces on the board.
