US Games Snatch Word Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Educational Games
by: US Games Systems Inc.

July 31, 2005
Easy to learn, fast play, and compact -- play on any flat table. Probably best with 3 or more players but fine with 2. Basically uses the exact same part of your mind as scrabble but has is faster, more intense and also more complex.

The tiles are acceptable but they could be a little nicer. And it would be nice if they gave you a bag for the tiles -- the tube is fairly easy to carry around but a small bag would make this game even easier to bring along on trips.

Lots of fun and well worth having in the house.

The Grateful Dead Game

This game looks really nice, in full color, with lots of cool Grateful Dead symbols and logos.
I bought this game to play with my teenage son. This game cannot be played with just two players, or even three. You need two teams!
Game does specify that it is for 2 or more players,which was incorrect.
I contacted the manufacturer about this, and the have info on playing with two players, which just doesn't work. They also sent me a Jerry Garcia puzzle, which did make up for not being able to use the game.
I sold it on ebay, but in my auction I made it clear that you need two teams to play.

I bought this for my 2.5 yr old son to take on a long plane trip and it kept him pretty busy. It's not too big so it packs very easily.

The $100,000 Pyramid DVD Game

from: MGA Entertainment

June 01, 2006
I bought this DVD game over a year ago. It's a lot of fun, but as one reviewer commented, only 15 games to the one DVD IS expensive. Of course, if you wait a year or more to play it again, you've forgotten the categories, which we've done, but not many folks would be happy to have to do that - me, included. Any chance there'll be additional/new $100k Pyramid DVDs out there to buy in the near future?

This is a good game to teach kids about the United States. Fairly easy to play, but also very easy to modify for younger kids to join in. Great way to involve the kids in picking vacation spots.

This item was way overpriced. I found it at Walmart for $4.00. Unfortunately I misplaced my sale slip otherwise it would have been returned.

Mind Trap Game

from: Pressman

This game is not a conventional trivia game.

Like most board games, you advance around the board while answering questions requiring you to think critically. Some people term this method of analysis as 'lateral thinking'. The answers to some questions may or may not be entirely obvious to you. Some questions require step by step logic, others require higher order thinking, others require truth value logic.

You will be surprised at your abilities (or lack thereof, of your opponents) and you will be entertained. This game will be favored by those with the ability for abstract thinking versus concrete thinking.

I personally like to read the questions and answer them myself. To have an alternative pathway ... Read More:

Just as promised, no problems with transaction. This is for a collector so will be left in the box, so unable to really make a good assessment about durability.
