Dixit:
Each player in turn plays the storyteller. He or she is
given a single picture card, while the other players get a hand of six
picture cards. The storyteller says a sentence or a word connected to his picture, then each player chooses one of his pictures that fit the storyteller's description. All pictures are collected, shuffled & showed face up. Every player must then decide which picture was the storyteller's. For 3-6 players, ages 8+, play time 30-50 mins. Time can be adjusted by playing first player to 10-15 or ?? points wins. Awards: Game of the Year 2010 ((Spiel de Jahres) DIXIT is most like Apples to Apples, using the scoring system of previous SDJ winner Barbarossa'. The art work on the cards is quite attractive, and the storyteller's card descriptions can get very creative. |

Truth Be Told:
Think of this as part Balderdash/The Dictionary
Game (bluffing) with the personal feel & comfort of "Apples to Apples". In
each round, one of the players is the Host, and reads a question card such
as, “Truth Be Told, my favorite snack is _______.” The Host secretly
writes a truthful answer, like...pork rinds. All other players write bluff
answers that might seem like something the Host wrote – pretzels, prunes,
sardines. The Host collects and reads all answers aloud, and players try to
guess the Host’s True Answer. Players score if they voted for the True
Answer - and also if their bluff answer was chosen by others. For 3-8 players ages 12+ and includes 564 Truth Be Told
Questions; 8 markers; 8 Fill in the Blank cards; 8 Paddles. Our take: Clearly the hottest party game for the 2009 holiday season, it works on several levels, being very quick to get started, creative, social & frequently laugh out loud funny. |

Roadzters Tabletop Racing Game:
RoadZters is a flicking game, very much like
Bisikle. The whole concept is in the ZBall, a marble with a unique internal
mechanism. Very easy to control, you can spin it in different ways to do
high precision shots. The goal of the game is to flick your way to the
finish line as fast as possible. You compete on a 13ft track which can be
set up in an infinite number of track designs. One difference from Bisikle:
cars are also jumping ramps - so be bold and use your opponents to fly past
them! NEW November 2010 |
$38.46 | |

Bisikle Tabletop Racing Game
(NEW):
Game enthusiasts will recognize the basic idea as similar to
Carabande or Pitch Car, but instead of flicking a wooden disc, you use the
patented ZBall. The designer says he wanted to mimic flicking a marble in
the sand and that's pretty much the feel you get as you use it. The track
segments are plastic and can be easily assembled into an infinite number of
track designs. It's just plain fun to play, and even more fun designing the
perfect track.

 | Best of Chronology: Here’s a new twist on trivia that will tweak your sense of time. Did the “Star Spangled Banner” come before or after the invention of the pogo stick? Just when did IBM introduce its first personal computer? History, Arts and Entertainment, Sports, and Inventions and Discoveries are the four challenging categories in this intriguing game. Be the first person to put ten cards in chronological order and win! For 2-8 Players, although we played with more in teams. We really enjoy Chronology. Rather than a card that states "The date electricity was discovered", cards tend to favor more obscure dates like "The date of the 1st street lights in Pittsburgh", so the game does not have the feel of the standard trivia game. It starts out easy enough when you have 2 or 3 cards but the difficulty increases greatly as you approach the 10 you need to win. | $19.98 |
