Toy Review - Spot It by Blue Orange

This game is awesome.  It is easy to learn and fun to play.  The game rules say that it is for ages 6 and up and I have found that to be true.  I have played it with kids as well as adults and it really is a blast!

There are several different ways to play, but they all center around matching your card with another card.  Now, each card has several images on it.  Any two cards will have one, and only one, matching image.  The image may be a different size, but otherwise it will be the exact same image.  It seems like it is not possible, but the brainiacs at Blue Orange games have figured out how to do it.  The games are fun and intense.  They are also, at times, hilarious; you know you just have to match two images and you know that you are staring right at them, and yet you can't see them.  It is funny.

I highly recommend this game.  If you need a great game for a game night, this is the one you want.  It is also a good travel game since it comes in its own portable tin.  Try it out today!

Toy Review - Gobblet Gobblers by Blue Orange Games

The following is a special review by toy tester, Micah, age 13:

Now, there is a very popular game that most people know about called tic-tac-toe. Tic-tac-toe was easy to learn and quick to play. Now it’s been redone and made even better in the great new game, Gobblet
Gobblers.

Now the rules of Gobblet Gobblers are very simple and easy to learn, but first: setting up the game. The game involves two people which choose colors and set up their pieces. Each player starts with six pieces. The pieces are divided into the sizes large, medium, and small; two for each size. The pieces are designed to slip over the pieces smaller than itself.

Now, to play the game. The board and goal are exactly like tic-tac-toe. The board is four pieces that you can put together to make nine squares. The goal is to get three of your pieces lined up. To start, the person who is going first, places any sized piece of his anywhere on the board. Now, the second person can either place on of his pieces on the board, or place another piece on his opponent’s piece, if his is a bigger size. Then, the first player, if his piece has not been eater, can either place a new piece, or move an existing piece to a different spot. This continues until one person gets three in a row.

The reason I like this game so much is you’re learning great tactics and having fun all the time, in less than five minutes per game.
