from: Ravensburger


Bought this for my son for christmas. Thought it might be too difficult for him as he wasn't 5 until end Jan. However after only a little while he could easily do the beginners section! He really enjoys the game and concentrates quite hard whilst doing it! Great game would highly recommend!

The Settlers of Catan (New Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Mayfair Games

November 19, 2007
The Settlers of Catan is just a fun game! The ever changing board gives a different strategy style every game. It is quite simple to pick up (although some of the photographs showing games in action can lead you believe that it's difficult). There is an aspect of planning, trading, building and a little luck (but just a little) which shows why this is a best seller. Forget Monopoly and other outdated, tedious games, this is great!

The actual game takes about an hour and a half to two hours for first time plays, but as you gain experience this is reduced. In a world that is obsessed with computer gaming, this game brings the board game back where it belongs... in the family.

I love Harry Potter so therefore loved this game! If you've played any other version of scene it then the concept will be pretty familar if not then i'll give you a keep run through of what to expect:

You have to roll 2 die...a numbered one and one with symbols which refers to the challenge you have to complete. You have to complete various challenges in order to win this game some are interavtive such as my play, all play and all play to win, there are question card's which are either about the magical world or the muggle world...usually question's about the actors and directors (they tend to be the most difficult) or you have to pick a house point card and follow what it says. if you get a question right you move the number of spaces on the dice. ...

Hungry Hippos

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Hasbro


I remember playing this when I were a lad, way back in t'eighties, and like all great games it hasn't changed at all.

It takes no time to put together, is brightly coloured, makes lots of noise and has loads of balls rattling about, so for a family with a three year old it's a winner from the start. If only it came in a bigger box so I could store it properly...

Regular Tri-ominos

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: The Sales Partnership Distributors Ltd


a portable fun game for boys and girls who can count.
you have so many trimonoes at the start of the game and haev to match the numbers at the edges to ones already down. You then add the totals. I f you can't go you can buy stock from the "bank" but at a cost.
Even my 4 year old has a pretty good go at it.

Bought this for my 5 year old daughter after she requested it. She loves it and challenges any visitors to our house. Uncomplicated and fun, I would recommend ths to anyone, not just 8 and up. Just keep it away from babies as there are some very small pieces.

Game of Life

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Hasbro FirstOrder Account

August 15, 2004
The manufacturer's description gives some info about the game so I won't bother with that. The game is well thought out with many different aspects and rules providing great variety throughout a game. I would have given five stars except for the fact that it is really quite a long game and with four of more people playing seems to take ages (and tries the patience of younger players). Quite often one person will be trailing very far behind the others so dragging it out further which is why we don't play it as often as many other games we have. A good game for bad weather days.

Mr & Mrs Board Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Upstarts First Order Code


This game is not bad once in a while. It offers the potential for humour not so much in the questions posed (e.g. "what's your partner's favourite ice-cream"), but in the sometimes heated debates that ensue (it was marvellous to see my mother haranguing my father telling him that his favourite ice-cream has always been vanilla (I know you better than you know yourself) when he insisted it was strawberry). This is about as funny as it gets.

Any time you need a little light relief when you're with your family this fits the bill.
