Scrabble ME: This NEW variation from
Winning Moves is what you get when you combine
Scrabble with "Take it Easy"
(a now out of print favorite of ours). In regular Scrabble you have your own
tiles and play on a common board; this is almost the opposite. Here, you
build and control your own Scrabble board & build words simultaneously;
scoring is just like in standard Scrabble. After each round, players can
choose a replacement letter from the bag OR from one of the 12 face-up tiles
on the Prize Tile Podium. Another exciting feature is the wild tile. Each
time after one is played, that player must swap boards with an opponent.
We love that there's no down time waiting for your turn. For 2-4
players. Click to enlarge image |

Go500 Racing Game:
Experience the thrill of racing action! It's a
race to 500 miles, and the first driver there pulls into Victory Lane! But
to get there you'll have to avoid crashes, pit stops, flat tires, caution
lights, and the dreaded black flag. You can almost smell the rubber when the
racing action heats up!! Go 500 has some of the feel of the classic card game Mille Bornes. The idea is to total as many miles as possible each turn, on you way to 500 miles. One nice feature is the "flag" die. A yellow flag can tighten up the race considerably and a black flag allows all racers a chance to win even if they are behind. This tends to keep things interesting until the very end. Includes: 1 White Flag Die, 1 Green Power Die, 5 Black Track Dice, 1 Yellow Pit Die, 1 Red Crash Die... rules, score sheets, dice cup and more! For 1 or more players. Click image to enlarge |

Can't Stop: This Parker Brother's classic (designed by Sid Sackson) is one of our 2 favorite dice games (along with Liar's Dice) and is finally back after being discontinued for more than 20 years. It's part "Shut the Box" with a dash of Yahtzee plus some of the strategies of Pass the Pigs or Cosmic Wimpout. It's also very addictive. Like any dice game, there is a degree of luck, but with Can't Stop, the better player will win more often. For 2-4 players, ages 10+, 30 min. to play. Multiple Awards including finalist for 1982's Spiel Des Jahres (Game of the year) | $26.91 |

Sting
NEW:
To sting or get stung are the outcomes in
this high risk, high reward dice game. Players decide if they are in or out.
The dealer sets the bar and players decide if they can beat it. If they
cannot beat it, they are 'stung' and have to pay the pot. The winner is the
one with the most chips (or whatever you decide to use) when the game is
over. | $6.58 | |

3D Chess (aka Space or Strato Chess): takes the game of chess into the third dimension! Players risk being attacked from either above or below and must think of the game in terms of left, right, forward and back as well as up and down. The multi level game board is 12" high and designed in brushed aluminum with black and crystal clear polish. When first seen on the original Star Trek, being played by Spock, it created a demand for 3D chess. But at the time they were first produced, in the late '60s and '70s, there really were no rules. Over the years, many have been suggested but the game is probably played differently by each player. This is actually the first version (2007) we've stocked that actually has rules.

You've Been Sentenced (New): Using a hand of 10 cards, each player tries to form one grammatically correct, sensible sentence with as many cards as they can, trying to score the most points per round. Note: some versions of a word are worth additional points. Includes 540 unique 5 sided cards, score pad, sand timer (used with optional rules), pencil, rules. Has already won several awards, and a big improvement over past "sentence games". Our take: The 5 sided cards allow for over 2500 useable words; others using dice or cards usually provide 45-100. Additionally, there are numerous optional rules available so the replay value is quite high. An excellent first offering from a new company. 3-10 players, ages 8+ | $22.91 | |

Snatch (New):
Combine letters to build a new word or add onto an existing one. As more
letter tiles are revealed, the words grow as so does the excitement. 100

instructions included. Fun for all ages. | $14.86 | |
