Gibsons Rockpool Game Review

Rockpool is an educational game for children aged six and above. Players need to collect shells and clean up rubbish from the beach before the tide comes in! Do watch out as many cheeky creatures come to steal your shells!

This game comes in a cute shell-shaped box. There are 124 cards, a Rockpool board and instructions. It is for two to six players. Each player picks their own team (there are six teams and each has their own colours) and each team has five Child cards and one Dog card.

Gigantosaurus: The Game Review

With all schools and entertainment closed, everyone is talking about how we can continue to educate and entertain our kids. In this new digital landscape, video games have increasingly shown their value as a way to entertain kids when they are at home and as an activity the whole family can enjoy! Also, not forgetting that Easter is coming soon! It is time for everyone to take a break from this stressful COVID-19 period.

Splash! Coiledspring Games review

Splash! from Coiledspring Games is a simple and fun family game. This is a great game for travel because of it’s compact nature or parties because it can be played with two to six players and for aged six and above.

This compact circular tin consists of 30 wooden pieces and 14 water drop tokens. I love that it is very easy to bring out to play and to tidy away.

Unlock! Secret Adventures Review

Unlock! Secret Adventures is the fourth Unlock! range by Space Cowboys we have reviewed and each game has continued to entertain us to the max! We love this range of adventure cooperative card games.

As a quick explanation to this card game, it follows a very similar format to those real escape rooms but here you can play in the comfort of your own home. The game requires players to cooperate to search scenes, combine objects, and solve riddles, in order to solve the puzzles before the timer runs out. There are three full one-hour scenarios in the box, as well as a 10 minute taster game to get the hang of how to play.

Slam It Review

SLAM IT! is a fast and furious family or travel game that can be played from aged six and above. The aim of the game is to get rid of your cards. In this game, you count and if you make a mistake, hesitate too long, slam last or at the wrong time, you have to pick up all the cards that are played on the table.

Get A HINT Board Game Review

HINT is an entertaining guessing game through hinting via drawing, humming, talking and miming about the word for your teammates to guess. The better you are at hinting the word and your teammates guessing it correctly, the faster your team can advance on the game board. But there is a twist in this game! On each card, there is a forbidden word you are not allowed to guess! So be careful with any wild guessing as your team may lose a point! The teams take turns and the first team to make it to the finish space wins.

This family game is suitable for children aged six and above, with two to four players! It comes with a Llama spray gun, 64 cards and a special die. Setting up this game is very straightforward. You do need a table to place the Llama spray gun in the middle within reach of all the players. Also, have a few face towels or paper tissues handy. Now fill your spray gun with water!

Top Stocking Fillers – Rubik’s Cube

Christmas season is the time for giving and sharing, it is also means shopping time! I know it is not everyone’s favourite thing to do but I do hope you like the variety of gift ideas we have shown on our Christmas Gift Guide 2019 that was published yesterday. Now it is time for us to share the top stocking fillers!

Did you know that this year, a new survey shows a third of parents would buy Rubik’s as a stocking filler for children this Christmas? The survey, which had 2,000 respondents, also included chocolate and stationery as top stocking solutions. My husband and Mr K are big fans of the iconic colourful Rubik’s cube. They both knew how to solve the puzzle within five minutes. Now Ms C is hooked into the easy to play Rubik’s cage!
