We’ve added some new games to the mix!

I am happy to announce that the stores and website are now incorporating new products that are a total blast. Some highlights include Name Chase, Cyclone puzzle, Wise Alec, Magna-Tiles, Kwizniac, Baffle Gab, Pentago Multiplayer, Square Up!, and Dizios.

My two favorite games that we recently added to our collection are Word on the Street and Zertz. Word on the Street challenges your word skills as you play a sort of tug-o-war with the opposing team for letters. For each turn you turn over a category card and start the timer. The team must decide on a word that satisfies that category and move the appropriate letters over one space per use before the time runs out! Then the other team pulls a card and tries to do the same. The first team to claim 8 letters off the board wins. We just played this at the Spring party and it was a hoot.

Zertz is an intriguing critical thinking game with a board that changes as you play. There are 4 ways to win: by obtaining 4 white marbles, 5 gray marbles, 6 black marbles, or 3 marbles of each color. Each turn, you either jump a marble to claim it or you place a marble on the board and remove a black ring. By removing a black ring (which is what forms the board) the game continually changes, making it quite interesting. Give it a try!
