Another popular little dice game. Mechanics are similar to our old favorite, Cosmic Wimpout. Roll six dice. Set aside the scoring dice (3 of a kind or certain "specials") and then decide: Roll the remaining (unscoring) dice and hope for a big score, or stop now and take what points you've got. If you decide to roll and then don't score, your turn ends with no score.

Blokus has always been a staff favorite, and we're excited about being able to travel with it now. Sort of like two 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.

Contains: game board with 196 squares, 142 game pieces in 2 colors, guide, storage tray.

Little rubber pigs are rolled like dice. Score depends on how pigs land. Cute pocket-sized molded plastic case bulges where the pigs fit in. Our kids still appreciate the humor of this little game.

Pass the Pigs is not, as some would claim, a completely skill-free game. One must decide when to stop ro risk losing all points accumulated during the turn by rolling a "makin' bacon"

Board will fit into your pocket. When folded the board measures 4" by 2" by 1_". 61 holes in each track. Pegs included

This nifty little set rolls up and fits into a 8 x 2 inch draw string bag. The reversible board is like a mouse pad with a metal heart. Boards are screen printed on both sides. Very strong magnets inside the little chess men and checkers hold pieces in place, even when you pick up the whole thing and wave it around. Board is 8 x 8 inches.

Chess men are well detailed molded plastic. King is 1.25 inches tall. Black and ivory.

Magnetic checkers are 1/2 inch diameter, ivory and cream. Dice are not magnetic. (No instructions are included)

Classy nylon zip-up case. Tiles snap into racks and snap into the board. Board folds with letters in place, so you can re-visit your game. Draw string cloth bag stores plastic letters.

This version is still bigger than it needs to be. Nylon case packs several cubic inches of spare air. But it is a big improvement over the travel version we've been fighting for years. At least you can put it away with the letters inside without breaking the board.

Folded size: 10.5 x 6.5 x 2.5 inches

Roll the cosmic dice, but don't wimp out. The skill is knowing when to stop, for you only collect your points if you quit rolling before you wimp out. Simple to learn, fun design, quick play.

Basic Cosmic Wimpout comes in a plastic tube with five special dice, instructions, and sticker.

Kids race to build their sandwiches. Use all the ingredients to make a great lunch, keeping the fly away.
