Baffled Review

Baffled is a brand new memory game from Cheatwell Games. This board game might look simple but it is not! It is a very challenging and fun memory game that should appeal to all the family. It is cleverly designed so that children and adults have an equal chance of winning. You only have 60 seconds to memorise all the position of the twelve symbol tiles but be prepared – the tiles can swap and change positions around the board! It is suitable for aged eight and above, for two to four players.

Post Rusty Rivets Twitter Party

Did you join us on Thursday for the fun-filled Rusty Rivets Twitter Party with ukmumstv? We had so much fun doing all the activities and of course watching an episode of Rusty Rivets!

Rusty Rivets is an animated television series currently airing daily at 5.30pm on Nick Jr. It follows the adventures of a young inventor named Rusty and his team of customized robots. Rusty uses his knowledge of engineering to repurpose machine parts and create gadgets. He lives in the city of Sparkton Hills along with his Hispanic-American friend Ruby, a robotic tyrannosaurid named Botasaur, and a group of smaller robots known as the Bits. The show highlights a variety of concepts related to basic science and technology.

Dobble Card Game Review

Dobble is a fast and furious family card game for 2 – 8 players aged 6 and above that can be played by anyone, regardless of age and interests. It consists of 55 cards, with 8 symbols per card.  The cards are thin and easy to hold. The symbols come in varies sizes which make it quite hard to spot sometimes, especially the smaller ones, which makes this game so interesting! The symbols are very cute and bright.

Brainbox Games My First Sound Snap

Brainbox Games My First Sound Snap is a unique deck of cards that lets you play two family favourites, Snap and Pairs using early-years reading strategies. It is suitable for aged 4+ and comes in 52 full colour playing cards plus 3 rules cards. BrainBox kindly give us pack one and pack two to do this review.  Pack one uses letters A – M and pack two uses letters N – Z. It feels like the cards are coated which should make them more durable and water resistant. This is obviously really useful with children!

BrainBox – ABC Level 2

We have previously reviewed BrainBox My First Picture and we really loved it.  It is simple yet fun to play and exercises those little brain cells! BrainBox has also kindly given us ABC for review.  It is suitable for four years and above for one or more players. BrainBox ABC is full to the brim with fantastic images to help children recognise objects beginning with each letter of the alphabet as well as the more common blends.

The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a dice. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. This simple concept can be played by all ages and in large groups as well as a 1 person game.

BrainBox – My First Pictures

Both of my children love to play games together from board games to computer games. As they are only 18 months apart, we are fortunate that it is quite easy to find a game they can both play and enjoy. BrainBox has kindly given us My First Pictures to do a review. It is suitable for four years and above which is just the right age group for both of my children. Ms C just turned four last week. It is for one or more players.

BrainBox My First Pictures is the youngest of the range helping children recognise objects and names of items from household, holiday and everyday scenes. The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a dice. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. This simple concept can be played by all ages and in large groups as well as a 1 person game.
