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.

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!
