Here are some more of our favourite games!
For the young set:
Perplexus Rookie:4 - adult. The Rookie introduces a gravity-defying, three dimensional world of Perplexus. Twist flip, and turn the sphere through 75 barriers. A shelter finish keeps the ball in place at the end to secure your success! Serious fun for the whole family.
Honey Bee Tree: ages 3-10:
Honey Bee Tree: ages 3-10:
Don't wake the sleeping bees when pulling out the leaves of the Honey Bee Tree! Pull out the wrong leaf and bees come tumbling out into the player's tray. Once all the leaves are removed from the honey tree, or all the bees are awake and out of the tree, the player with the least amount of bees in his/her flower tray is the winner.
For Older Kids to Teens & Adults
Anomia: 10-adult, 3-6 players, 20 mins.
This Mensa Select Winner is a word game with cards and symbol-matching, where players place in front of them a card from a shared deck, turn it face up, and everyone races to see if it matches those of other players (or the wild cards). If there is a match, then the pressure is on, as the players with the matching pair try to shout out a word or phrase that matches the category written on the other player's card. Yes, you need to be on the ball! Tons of replay value in this fun game.
Bohnanza: 8-adult, 2-7 players, 45 mins.As card games go, this one is quite revolutionary and perhaps its oddest feature is that you cannot rearrange your hand; you need to play in the order that you draw cards. The cards are colourful depictions of beans & the object is to make coins by planting fields/sets of these beans and harvesting them. The game features extensive trading and deal making.
Dutch Blitz: 8-adult, 2-12 players, 10 mins.
Dutch Blitz is a friendly family game where players try to compose sets of cards out of the deck in such a way as to get rid of their Blitz pile as soon as possible. This is a simple game that is easy to learn, and fun for everyone!
Pocket Farkel: 8-adult, 2-8 players, 30 mins.
This dice game is easy to learn and play, and it accommodates a wide range of ages. It's a fun, fast-paced, high-score game that takes just two minutes to learn. The first player to score more than 10,000 points wins. A small package, great for travel.
Expansion sets: Expansions broaden the pool that the game's (generally random) initial layout comes from, with unique play effects, props, and tokens, making it more likely you'll run into novel power combinations and force-multipliers.

Stress is part of every day life. But playing toys can sometimes ease them, or minimize those stress.
