Crazy Cheese
"I bought this for my 6-year old, and it's much more challenging than I anticipated...however, he loves figuring things out, so this is proving to be a great choice for him. He'll sit for a half-hour or more trying to put it together...and I think it's wonderful for his concentration!" – by J. Andrews "J.Andrews" January 5, 2011
"Any toy that effectively stimulates a child's brain without noise and batteries has a special place in my heart! This is one of them! It's better than a puzzle because they can do it over and over again without memory helping them, it's new again every time!" – by A. Harris "ecoMAMA" December 2, 2010
Pocket Fundomino
"Fun version of Uno, the card game that was a staple of our family's international travels for years. These tiles aren't as likely to collect fang marks or tear and lose corners. They feel nice, and being washable is an added attraction!. I'm going to get a couple for my middle school math classes." – by Elizabeth Benefiel July 26, 2009
"My wife and I played this last night and really liked it! The "special tile" additions are great and add strategy to the game; and I love how the curve of the layout blocks you from playing a color-- it's frustratingly fun!" – by Bill Reinhardt May 3, 2010
"This is a well made toy that has been enjoyed by the adults of the household, as well as by visiting children. It is well made and easy to play. It will be enjoyed for years to come." – by Maria Miller May 16, 2010
Pocket Yamslam
"My son and I love to play Yahtzee together. This is similar to Yahtzee, but super portable! At 7 years old, he figures out which hand can earn him the most points still available. My 5 year old tried to make a hand, any hand! We have been totaling up the points, using some fun math skills. Great game, perfect birthday present!" – by Virginia mommy October 20, 2010
"As soon as this came we opened the box and sat down on the kitchen floor to play and play. My kids loved this game. It was easy to learn and lots of fun to play." –
Sumoku
"I got this for Christmas and LOVE it. It is fun to play solo, but lots more fun with a group or pair. I encourage every family to get one of these games. Not much more to say, but did I mention it was fun?" – by A. Mulder "internet shopper" January 12, 2011
"My mother just recently purchased this game from a store in Florida and brought it home with her. A lot of us kids were math majors in college and some english majors. We all have a lot of fun trying to put all the pieces together and work out the puzzle. The game also helps us keep our minds sharp because of all the adding. Its hours of fun because no one wants to stop playing!" – by Laura February 6, 2011
Bendomino
"My family is big into dominoes, but had always played the Mexican Train variety. Bendominoes is faster moving, and allows for rounds of varying lengths because you can decide on how many points will be required to win. We like the strategy of which way to bend them and cut off each others' moves, too!" – Kelly Campbell, October 17, 2009
"This product is great. My family and I just love playing bendominos. We usually used to play the traditional dominoes, but now we're hooked on this creative twist of the game." – by Florentina, July 21, 2008
"This game is a great twist on traditional dominoes. My mom bought this game to play with my girls. They love it! The pieces are sturdy and have survived many attacks by my 18 month old. The game is fun to ply as a family, and is one of the few my husband (who isn’t much of a game person) will play with them." – by Victoria Lee, September 21, 2008
Double Shutter
"I asked for this game for my 38th birthday--believe it or not! Every time I would take my 2 children into the local toy store I would stand and play this game which they had on display. Honestly, it is a great educational game for both my 6 and 9 year old children--you have to add up the dice and then figure out which combination of numbers is best to flip down. It really is fun and very addictive." – by KCB November 23, 2008
"This is a great thinking game for kids. It can either be played alone where you compete against yourself, or you can be motivated to play rounds and beat someone else!" – by My3Sons October 26, 2008
Golden Gate
"Golden Gate is a fun family game. It is simple to learn, but requires some thinking to win. Packaging is great! It fits nicely in a small tin box." – by Laura L. Johnson February 12, 2011
"Golden Gate is one of the better games for 2 people I have played in quite some time. This game packs right up into its own tin, doesn't require elaborate score-keeping thoughout the game, and is really well thought out and well made." – by J. Steinberg “Supersteinberg” November 18, 2010
Spot It!
"There were 4 of us women on vacation in Hawaii - we played this every night. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's a lot of fun and never gets old. One game you'll be on fire - seeing all the matches and the next game you can't seem to find any. We laughed so much…. I can't wait until the next time I play it again!" – by Bhee "Bhee" November 24, 2010
"My 6 year old got this from Santa for Christmas. She and her four year old brother LOVE it, and so do we! It's fun, and even the younger ones can play, and win! The case stores easily, the cards are durable, and it's really fun. Four different ways to play, and each takes some amount of effort, so it's not just another easy game. I love it!" – by SSS "SSS" February 11, 2011
"Spot It is fun for all ages! Interesting how creative this game is. And, it really makes you concentrate and try hard to find the match." – by Amy Van Horn May 17, 2010
Yamslam
"My family loves this game! I have given dozens as Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, and even wedding gifts. I always get great reviews from everybody." – by Red February 16, 2011
"Yamslam is a really fun game that has quick action and excitment as people try to get the right combinations of dice to win the chips. Its a great spin on Yahtzee and moves along smoothly. Kids and adults love it because it's so easy to play, but also a challenge. You can play teams or individual players." – by terry January 13, 2011
"Got this for my 12 yr. old grandson for Christmas and he personally thanked me and told me how much he loves it! He said he plays it all the time with both his friends and his family. I highly recommend it." – by Jayarr "Amazon Junkie" January 5, 2011

"This game is very cute. It takes no time at all to set up and learn the rules. The game is very durable and even the box is well constructed. We played with a three year old and two five year olds. All three of them caught onto the rules quickly and it didn't take long to complete a game. They giggled like crazy every time they were able to move their frogs." – by MN Walker December 29, 2007
"We bought this for our four year old daughter, but were pleasantly surprised when we found our nine year son was even keener to play it despite some initial reluctance! Definitely teaches memory skills, and adults may find yourself beaten by the younger members of the family." – by Stephen D. Griffiths "Stephen G" December 26, 2007
Gobblet
"It's the most engrossing, fun, strategically game I've played. It combines the simplicity of Tic-Tac-Toe with the strategy of Chess and adds a little bit of Memory." – by Torin “DrumFox,” January 5, 2005
"This game is absolutely perfect as a backseat game for two kids on road trips: the wooden box is sturdy and easy to pack and the pieces aren't so small that they'll get lost easily." – by Megan Romer, Ithaca, NY, November 27,2005
Gobblet Gobblers
"A great strategy game that I will be giving for brithday presents from now on. We decided when you win, you have to shout, "Gobblet!" It's a blast." – by M. Bergesen "reading maniac", June 5, 2010
"It's easy to say "yes" to three quick games of Gobblet Gobblers before bed, because you could play this many games in about five-to-ten minutes." – by ReaderMeter "ReaderMeter", September 16,2009
"Our four year old received this game for Christmas and the whole family is now addicted! This is a great game for a 4 year old or a 64 year old! Great at teaching strategy and for training your brain to remember what pieces have been "gobbled" up." – by Mom of Three, December 28, 2009
Pengoloo
"We play this game every night and my little boy loves it and he does not typically like board games. He enjoys lifting the penguins up to check which egg is underneath...I believe it is really improving his memory and ability to follow direction. The game is all wooden, high quality, and easy to store back in the box. A very cute game which gets a lot of use around my house." – by R. Laufgraben Januray 8, 2009
"Well-constructed, fun toy for a 4year old! Really cute little penguins. Lots of fun for young kids!" – by Crazy Gramma "Crazy Gramma" March 23, 2010
"This is a new twist on the old "memory match" games. Very easy for small kids to grasp the rules, easy to play and fun. The whole construction of the game pieces is top notch - real wood, not some flimsy plastic. Highly recommended game for the family." – by Bam Bam February 1, 2010
Zimbbos
"Fun game for kids. Bought it for my daughters class. First Grade. The teacher says they love it. Fun colors. Good quality. Good size game pieces. Easy clean up." – by Denise Hall December 30, 2010
"My son loves this game. As soon as it arrived he opened it and started "building" with it. He enjoys using it like blocks, as well as playing the game with us. He even likes to just play a free-form "no rules" game. It's fun for adults too. This has been a great toy for occupying him for long intervals." – by Elisabeth Stockton May 9, 2010
"Great for toddlers through young children. My son loves animals so he really loves these blocks. Great non-electronic game for kids!" – by A. Levy "Mom of 3" January 9, 2007
