 Bright
Idea Games are designed for kids. They're maybe not complex enough
for us grownups. But if the kids are having fun, well, then, they're
fun enough. (review) |
 You
know the classic trading game Pit?...Hold
on to that thought. And while you're holding on, do you by any chance
remember that equally classic card game called "Spoons"?(review) |
 Knock
Out is the second game from the Muggins people
to get a Major Fun award. It's value, at least for adults, lies
in the learning opportunities the game provides. And, even more
importantly, it's fun. (review)

 They
call Muggins "aerobics
for the mind." But that's no reason for you to think of Muggins as
anything other than pure fun. (review)

 Speedy
Eddy is
just enough like Chutes
and Ladders so that you almost don't have to learn anything at
all in order to play it....As we have come to expect of games made
by Blue
Orange, Speedy Eddy is what you might easily call "lovely." Made of wood,
intricately illustrated and carefully themed. In this case, we have a game about
racing snails, so the board is a snail-likishly spiral race track, the pieces
look like snails and shells, even the pips on the big wooden dice look like snails.

 Match
of the Penguins (no,
not MARCH, MATCH, get it, MATCH) is a lot more fun than it sounds
like. And, for kids who've seen or heard
of the movie "March of the Penguins," the game already sounds like
fun. (review) |
 It
was more than two years ago when a game called "Gobblet" became
the first strategy game to get a Major FUN Award.
Now, it's Gobblet,
Jr., a simpler version of Gobblet where the goal is to get three-,
instead of four-in-a-row. (review) |
 Zeus
on the Loose is
quite solidly based on everything that makes the kids' card game 99 fun
to play. And, quite like the Major FUN-awarded
game Straw,
it makes a good game, better. (review) |
