Travel Monopoly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Hasbro


This is a pretty complete version of the game, although I do recommend having a large playing surface so as to minimise the chances of losing one of the dinky pieces (there are about 60 bits in total, not including the property cards and money).

The quality of construction is fine. The only thing I don't like is the Chance/Community Chest system. Rather than having the cards (these are the only pieces not present from the full game) you have 3 dice and a numbered list of outcomes. The trouble is that due to the laws of distribution, some outcomes (those near the middle of the list) are much more likely than the ones at the top and bottom. I would recommend either getting a 16 sided di or pinching these cards from another game.

Dominoes is a great game! I like playing dominoes by the rules of the Fédération Internationale de Domino - FIDO (http://www.dominospiel.de/regeln.php?lang=EN&subj=reg1 )with a double twelve. You can submit your scores to the world ranking list by internet.

LeapFrog Pet Pals - Leapster Software

from: LeapFrog


Excellent game - may appeal more to girls than boys. The only thing to have ever held my 4 year old daughters attention for more than 15 minutes! Teaches pet care as well as letters, numbers, short words, pen control,spellings and memory. Earn points and money, go shopping,dress your dog in fancy dress, give food and water, bathtime, teach tricks, compete in a dog show,take it on walks etc,. Not just educational but great fun too. Fantastic !!!

Yu-Gi-Oh Structure Deck - Invincible Fortress

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Upper Deck

July 15, 2006
I own pretty much every yu-gi-oh deck released, and i have to say this is comfortably the worst.Very defense minded,these cards are never going to cause any real damage to your opponent, except deflected dmage when they attack your face downs. Even in defense the lower level cars hold nothing more special than 2000, which is on par with the likes of Mystic Elf and Island Turtle.Yes Exodd master of the guard does have 4000 defense, but this is never going to win a duel for you. The only card that saves this deck from being a complete washout is the mighty Megarock dragon, powered up by 700 for every earth monster taken out of play but its own effect!And it is classed as a special summon! Too weak for my liking with basic cards such as shield and ... Read More:

Subbuteo Dream Team Stadium

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Hasbro


My 12 year-old son got this set for his birthday and our whole family has enjoyed playing it. The set itself is really well designed, with a special slot-together frame that holds the playing mat flat. You get a selection of Champions League players to build up your team (I think there is a random selection of players in each box) and they are actual named players, not the anonymous figures of years ago. You slot your selected players into the bases and off you go. The rules are presented on a poster and are pretty easy to follow. Once you get the hang of it it's surprisingly fast moving and you can play some amazing (flukey) shots. Lots of fun - and you get two whole teams for less than the price of a ticket to see a Premiership match!

Ravensburger Puzzle - London, a View to the West (1000 pieces)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games and Puzzles
from: Ravensburger


An interesting subject with just the right level of difficulty for a casual puzzler. It took about 8-10 hours which is about right for me. Different sections such as river, sky, parkland, houses helped sorting into manageable chunks. I'll do it again some time.
