Carcassonne

from: Rio Grande Games


Carcassonne is a brilliant game full of surprises. It's basically just taking a tile and laying it in the right place, but there's a bit of oomph you've to put into it as well, and that is what makes it fun and exciting. I can't wait to get some expansions which are supposed to make it better.

It's price is very good for the game and I'm very pleased with it, it's also very addictive. William.

Travel Scrabble

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games for Grown-ups
from: Mattel


I was looking for a replacement for my travel magnetic scrabble as the letters on that tend to fall off as the glue holding the letter to the magnet melts in the heat. Apart from that, it was a well designed set which was compact and everything fitted into the board when not being used.

This version is much bigger. The board opens on one side (not on both as per other reviewers - maybe they have changed the design) to hold the racks and any unplayed tiles while played tiles can simply remain on the board.

My main gripe is that shuffling the tiles on the rack is not easy as they are quite a tight fit. I m anticipating losing a few tiles before long.

Scene It? - The DVD Game - Friends

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games for Grown-ups
from: Mattel

May 20, 2006
I have been a fan of Friends ever since it started, and like nothing better than watching the re-runs whenever I happen to catch them on TV! When someone gave me this game for a birthday present, I was really pleased.

You get to choose from Friends related items as your playing piece, amongst them a coffee cup, a Laz-E-Boy chair and the frame found on Monica's door around the peephole (my piece of choice)! As with the normal Scene It, you can play a short round or a longer game, and questions vary from guessing the next line to be said (this is usually multiple choice), working out anagrams of guest stars, answering a question from a crossword, and many other questions from the 10 series. If I had my way, I would get rid of the multiple choice ... Read More:

Bought this for my son for christmas. Thought it might be too difficult for him as he wasn't 5 until end Jan. However after only a little while he could easily do the beginners section! He really enjoys the game and concentrates quite hard whilst doing it! Great game would highly recommend!

The Settlers of Catan (New Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games for Grown-ups
from: Mayfair Games

November 19, 2007
The Settlers of Catan is just a fun game! The ever changing board gives a different strategy style every game. It is quite simple to pick up (although some of the photographs showing games in action can lead you believe that it's difficult). There is an aspect of planning, trading, building and a little luck (but just a little) which shows why this is a best seller. Forget Monopoly and other outdated, tedious games, this is great!

The actual game takes about an hour and a half to two hours for first time plays, but as you gain experience this is reduced. In a world that is obsessed with computer gaming, this game brings the board game back where it belongs... in the family.

Just simply a great practical item. Does what it says on the box!

Make up your puzzle on the felt mat, then when you want a break, simply pull open the telescopic tube, roll the puzzle and mat around it, and secure with the elastic bands provided.

Monogamy: A Hot Affair With Your Partner

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games for Grown-ups
from: Creative Conceptions


This was a complete waste of money!
The game begins with two circuit of the board where if you land on a designated space you pick a card from the 'intimate' pile, an example of which is "remember a moment when you were really proud of your partner. Tell her how it made you feel", not really warrenting the 18 age limit is it, we skipped the 2nd round as I thought I could save those cards for when I visit my parents.
Next to the second stage where the cards are marked ' passionate', "If he wanted to give you a sex toy for Christmas, what would you ask for?", that's fine if you're playing the game in December!
After another boring circuit where it got about as hot as an ice cube we entered stage 3, ooooooohhhhhh!
'Steamy', right this is the ... Read More:

Mr & Mrs Board Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games for Grown-ups
from: University Games


This game is not bad once in a while. It offers the potential for humour not so much in the questions posed (e.g. "what's your partner's favourite ice-cream"), but in the sometimes heated debates that ensue (it was marvellous to see my mother haranguing my father telling him that his favourite ice-cream has always been vanilla (I know you better than you know yourself) when he insisted it was strawberry). This is about as funny as it gets.

Any time you need a little light relief when you're with your family this fits the bill.

Scrabble Deluxe

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Games for Grown-ups
from: Mattel UK Limited


This item is cheap and plastic. I bought it for my partner as a present as we love scrabble, but was very disappointed with the cheapness when she unpacked it, it's not like it looks in the picture at all. However at the same time, unknowing to me my partner bought me Super-scrabble. Buy Super-Scrabble instead, a very good quality item that's even better than normal scrabble.
