Would you believe that we discontinued this item at one time? Then friends and the Mensa Hall of Fame urged us to give it a try. Fun, fun, fun. We've played at home every night for a week. This is a game that can be played by children as young as 6. All of us are over 13, but still enjoy it. We have customers who are on their second or third set, having worn out previous decks. Mechanics of play are unusual but simple to learn.

You are trying to end the game with the fewest points on your four face-down cards. One wrinkle is that you may only peek at two of your cards as the game begins. Draw a card from the pile, then choose whether to discard it or substitute for one of your 4 cards. Because you sometimes do not know what a card in your hand is, you may put a pretty good card into your own hand and end up discarding a great card for the next player. On the other hand, a "Swap" card sometimes allows you to do the "pole cat pass" where you stick an opponent with one of your lousy cards while making off with his low point cards. "Peek" and "Draw Two" power cards turn up occasionally, allowing players to maneuver and strategize further. Witty pictures of cats (the good guys--low points) and rats (bad guys--high points) illustrate each of the 54 cards.

A quotation from the game's box: "Parental Alert: A sharp eye and fast hand will prevail, so be warned when you play this game with children." There are 55 amusingly-illustrated, slice-of-bread-shaped cards. Players take turn flipping over a card. Slap the pile when a Slamwich has been built, but don't "Slip Slap" or you lose a card. Very nice components.

Crocodile dentist has made hundreds of our customers gasp, screech, and giggle. We keep one out on the counter for folks to try.

Some folks on our staff prefer this junior edition to its parent, the best-selling Pass the Bomb. We love to recommend this game because it is creative, funny, interactive, and fast. Kids aged 5 and up stand about as good a chance as those of us whose ages start with the number five.

Flip up a card. In cartoon style, a scene is depicted. When the ticking bomb comes to you, shout out something that would fit into the scene, then toss the bomb to the next person.

Fast, funny, educational, and entertaining for all ages.

Lunch box tin contains 4 plastic apples, 32 worms, spinner, and instructions.

2 to 4 players

Kids love to cook, and especially when they are Cookiní Cookies! In this adorable game of spoon slappiní fun, you must scramble to be the first to make your cookies. Try to grab all the ingredients to make the perfect cookies, but if you get a rotten egg the whole batch is spoiled and you have to start again.

Lunch box tin contains 26 ingredient cards, 4 slappiní spoons, spinner, and 8 recipe cards.

This is a clever variation of bingo. Each player has a card with a variety of pictures on it. Each turn, the "Zinger" spits out 2 tiles. If either of the tiles match one on your card, you can call it out and win it. However, people are often after the same tiles, so you need to be quick!

Labyrinth for the younger set. Fewer and larger pieces; smaller maze. Move your ghost through the maze and try to get the most treasures.

Award winning fun; quality components.
