Expansion Pack for The 'NEW' Touch game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: Anthony Innovations

January 05, 2006
I must confess that I bought this particular expansion pack by accident. While my whole family is completely addicted to The Touch, when I realised that I had bought a box of sea creatures, I was a bit dismayed. But boy, am I glad I made this mistake! There are some terrific shapes in here (love the eels and rays!), and it's a great challenge to have to identify with your fingertips which of several fish shapes is which. If you have the basic game, you'll appreciate the extra challenge that this expansion pack brings, whether you're a fish fan or not.

Quao The Ultimate Dictatorship Card Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: Wiggity Bang Games


Everyone I've played this game with has really enjoyed it. The only problem I've found is that the cards really start to repeat themselves after a while. It would be nice if there were extra cards available to purchase.

Survivor DVD Blast!

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: Screenlife

June 12, 2006
I gave this game three stars. It is a fun game, and asks a good range of questions. There are ten games, or rounds, each of which has a series of mini games in them. Each game takes about fifteen or twenty minutes to play a full game, so it does provide a few hours of gameplay.

Two or more people can play. You are divided into two different tribes; Tagi and Pagong, which were the two original tribes in Survivor - Borneo. (If you don't know that, the game will probably be too hard for you.) In each mini-game you answer questions about people, or watch clips and answer questions about the clips. There are a few word games as well. The questions come from all seasons from Borneo to Guatamala. The final round is a Jeporady-style Tribal Council. ... Read More:

Colosseum Board Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: Days of Wonder


Colosseum is a great game. I do game research and also have boys who play games. This one is one of the family favorites. There is a mixture of strategy and chance that make this game enjoyable. There are many elements of strategy to develop that even after several games, we are learning new strategies for game play.
Great game!

Candy Matching Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: eeBoo


My daughter received eeboo candy memory game and eeboo candy dominoes last year for Chrismas. We are so impressed with the games that we now own most of the eeboo games.
These games are so awesome. The pieces are layers and layers of laminated cardboard and super durable. The artwork is colorful and beautiful and the games are so much fun I actually enjoy playing them.
In addition to the candy games we love the picnic game, birthday game, storefront bingo, United States Bingo and the card games.
We've been giving these games for birthdays and the children are all so happy to receive them.
Also, these games are so simple that my 3 year old daughter and her little friends can play them without adult assistance. Wonderful!

Great States Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: None


We purchased this game for our 8 year old son this year. It is indeed full of errors. It is a fun game, and has educational value...but we find ourselves second guessing the answers to many of the question. We have even double-checked some of the facts on the Internet, as we are now somewhat skeptical of the answers provided.
I would wait for a 'revised' revised edition before I purchased the game again.

Webster's Word Sweep

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
from: Intellinitiative


This game is more fun if you have at least 3 players. Younger players (9 and below) will have a hard time competing, even if they are using the younger rules. It's a little bit of a challenge to remember the three definitions...writing them down is kind of time consuming.
We had a good time playing the game, but it's not one that we would pull out of the cabinet first.
