>>> THE
>>> THE RAINY DAYS HAVE HAD IS INDOORS MORE AND LOOKING FOR
THEM FUN THINGS TO DO WITH THE
FAMILY.
FAMILY.
FAMILY. WITH THE HELP OF SNAP DOODLE
TOYS WE HAVE ROUNDED UP A
SELECTION OF TOP GAMES FOR ALL
AGES.
AGES.
AGES. SNAP DOODLE JUSTIN ADAMS IS
HERE TO PLAY.
AND LET ME TRY IT OUT.
WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU HAVE.
>> VERY, VERY GREAT.
I WILL PLAY WITH BABY TOYS
EVEN.
EVEN.
EVEN. IT'S ALL FUN.
>> WHY NOT?
YOU JUST DROVE ME 143 ENOUGH
THAT I THOUGHT WAS GREAT.
WHAT IS THIS GAME?
>> HEAD, TALK, TALES, TALK.
WE FLIP OVER-THE-TOP TILE AND
TRY TO FIND THE MATCHING TILES
AMONGST THESE TILES HERE.
IF I FLIP OVER THIS ONE IS A
DOG HEAD AND A SNAKE BODY.
THAT DOESN'T WORK.
IF WE MESS UP WE WOULD NORMALLY
WALK AROUND THE TABLE.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE SOUND OF
THE HEAD AND THE MOVEMENT OF
THE BODY.
THE BODY.
THE BODY. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE I WILL
GO FIRST AND THEN YOU HAVE TO
GO.
GO.
GO. IT'S
GO. IT'S A DOG WITH A SNAKE BODY.
>> THAT'S EASY.
DO I TAKE THE SAME TOP CARD?
>> ONLY IF IT MATCHES DO WE
TAKE THE CARD.
IT'S A SIMPLE GAME WHERE IF YOU
MAKE THE MOST MATCHES YOU WIN.
IF YOU WANT TO DO THE NEXT ONE,
IN THIS CASE CHICKEN WITH, OH,
WE ACTUALLY GOT THE MATCH.
LOOK AT THAT.
>> I'M GOOD.
I DID IT.
I DID IT.
I DID IT. THIS IS A GAME I THOUGHT WAS
KIND OF COOL.
IT LOOKS AT FIRST LIKE IT'S
JUST A LITTLE TRAIN SET.
IT'S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT
PICTURE WAS WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY A SINGLE
PLAYER CHALLENGE GAME.
YOU WILL HAVE THIS LITTLE BOOK
THAT'S GOT A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT
CHALLENGES.
CHALLENGES. THE SOLUTIONS ARE ON THE BACK
OF THE PAGES.
. THESE PIECES HAVE DOUBLE-
ENDED THINGS, SO YOU HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT WHAT MAKES SENSE
AND WHERE HE GOES.
>> WHEN YOU GET TO THE MARKUP
GET A PIECES YOU HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THEY COME IN THE SAME ORDER
.
.
. >>
. >> AND
. >> AND THE RIGHT COLOR AND
SHAPES AND COLOR.
A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE REALLY
GOOD FOR YOUNG ONES TO
RECOGNIZE.
RECOGNIZE. MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS
GAME IS IT DEFINITELY DOES
DOUBLE AS A LITTLE TOY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY IT AS A
GAME, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT
YOU HAVE TO GROW WITH.
SPECS RIGHT.
SPECS RIGHT. SO IF YOU ARE THREE YOU CAN
JUST PLAY WITH THE PIECES AND
YOU ARE FINE.
>> IT GIVES YOU SOME EXERCISES,
IT'S CALLED THE BRAIN TRAIN.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> THIS WAS MY FAVORITE.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
>> THIS IS THE YOUNGER AGE
RANGE VERSION.
RANGE VERSION. IT PLAYS A LOT LIKE TIC-TAC-
TOE.
TOE.
TOE. YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THREE IN A
ROW.
ROW.
ROW. YOU
ROW. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE
PIECES
PIECES
PIECES >>
PIECES >> ALMOST LIKE THE RUSSIAN
NESTING DOLLS.
NESTING DOLLS. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. >> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PLAY?
>> WHEN YOU PLAY YOU CHOOSE
WHAT PIECE YOU WANT.
EACH PERSON HAS A SINGLE COLOR.
I COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
THE NEXT PERSON CAN DECIDE TO
PLACE THEIR PIECE, BUT YOU WILL
NOTICE YOU CAN PLACE PIECES
OVER OTHER PEOPLES PIECES.
>> YOU HAVE TO BE SURE YOU WANT
TO DO THAT, BECAUSE YOU WILL
RUN OUT OF BIG PIECES, SO YOU
HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. YOU DON'T WANT TO USE A BIG
PIECE IN A SPOT WHERE ONLY IF I
USED IT ON THIS OTHER LITTLE
PIECE IN THE CORNER I COULD
HAVE COVERED IT.
IT'S LIKE RUNNING OUT OF
RESOURCES TO QUICKLY.
IT IS SIMPLE STRATEGY.
IF YOU ARE THE KID THAT KNOWS
HOW TO PLAY TIC-TAC-TOE THEY
CAN PLAY THIS AND MOVE ON TO
BIGGER STRATEGY GAMES.
I LIKE THAT IT'S DIFFERENT THAN
CHECKERS, BUT ALSO UNIQUE.
ONE THING ABOUT THE BOARD, THE
COMPANY CREATED A WOODEN BOX,
BUT ENDED THEY DECIDED TO DO IT
THIS WAY.
THIS WAY.
THIS WAY. NOT ONLY DID MAKE THE COST
CHEAPER, BUT ALSO MORE FUN FOR
KIDS TO PUT THE BOARD TOGETHER.
THAT'S ANYTHING.
THAT'S ANYTHING. >> THAT'S INTERESTING.
THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
THERE IS THINKING AND
STRATEGIZING WITHOUT ANYBODY
SAYING WE ARE NOW GOING TO
THINK AND STRATEGIZE. WE ARE
JUST GOING TO PLAY.
>> THERE ARE FACES AND BRIGHT
COLORS.
COLORS.
COLORS. IT'S A LOVELY GAME.
>> THIS ONE IS A LITTLE MORE
COMPLICATED.
COMPLICATED. SHOW AS THIS ONE.
>> THIS ONE IS CALLED GNOMES AT
NIGHT.
NIGHT.
NIGHT. IT
NIGHT. IT IS A COOPERATIVE GAME.
THE IDEA IS THAT YOU HAVE A
MAZE AT EACH PERSON HAS A
DIFFERENT SIDE.
DIFFERENT SIDE. YOU CAN MOVE YOUR OWN PIECE
AROUND, BUT WHEN YOU MOVE IT IT
MOVES A PIECE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THE MAZES ARE DIFFERENT SO WHAT
YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET TO
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE MAZE,
YOU WILL NOTICE IT'S BLOCKED
OFF IN A LOT OF PLACES, YOU
HAVE TO ASK THE PERSON ON THE
OTHER SIDE TO MOVE YOU THROUGH
THE WALL.
THE WALL.
THE WALL. FOR EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY I WAS
HERE AND I WAS LIKE, OH, I NEED
YOU TO MOVE STAGE LEFT, BECAUSE
YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND I
WILL USE MAYBE FINGERS OR
POINTS AND YOU COULD DO
SOMETHING LIKE I COULD MOVE UP
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. >>
HERE. >> I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. IT'S LIKE IF WE ARE TRYING TO
FIND THE LITTLE SPYGLASS, FOR
EXAMPLE, IT'S ON MY SIDE AND I
HAVE TO COMMUNICATE WE HAVE TO
GO THIS WAY AND THAT WAY AND WE
GOT IT.
GOT IT.
GOT IT. >> YOU MENTIONED IT HAS A
TIMER.
TIMER.
TIMER. I
TIMER. I WAS LOVE A TIMER.
A LITTLE TIME PRESSURE MAKES
EVERYTHING MORE FUN.
THE IDEA IS WE ARE BUILDING
SKILLS OF COMMUNICATION AND
COOPERATION AND THAT'S A REALLY
GOOD THING.
GOOD THING. NOT EVERYBODY HAS TO BE
ADVERSARIAL.
ADVERSARIAL. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. IT WORKS REALLY WELL FOR OLDER
ANGEL RANGES ALSO.
>> OR IF YOU HAVE A BROTHER AND
SISTER YOU NEED TO COOPERATE
WITH SIT DOWN AND PLAY THIS
GAME.
GAME.
GAME. THIS GAME IS BEAUTIFUL.
WHAT IS THIS?
>> IS GENERALLY FOR AGES EIGHT
AND UP.
AND UP.
AND UP. IT IS A DRAFTING GAME.
YOU GET THE MOST POINTS BY
COLLECTING TILES IN A WAY TO
GET YOU MOST..
EVERY TIME YOU HAVE THESE
LITTLE MARKETPLACE VENUES WHERE
YOU ARE TRYING TO GRAB THESE
LITTLE TILES.
LITTLE TILES. YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO CHOOSE ALL
OF THE SAME TILE.
LET'S SAY I COULD TAKE ALL OF
THE BLACK TILE.
WHEN YOU PLACE IT YOU PLACE IT
ON THESE SPOTS ON THE BOARD
WHERE IT'S ALL THE SAME COLOR.
I CAN'T PUT IT THERE OR HERE,
IF I FILL UP MY ENTIRE ROW THEN
I WILL GET POINTS BY REWARD.
>> GOT IT.
>> YOU HAVE TO STRATEGIZE,
BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS PICKING
FROM THE SAME THINGS.
YOU WANT DIFFERENT TILES AT
DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE YOU ARE
ALWAYS PICKING THE SAME COLOR.
IF I CHOSE THIS BLUE ONE AND I
TRIED TO PUT IT HERE THAT WILL
OVERFILL THE SPOT. THEN IT WILL
MAKE ME LOSE POINTS BY DROPPING
TILES.
TILES.
TILES. >>
TILES. >> GOT IT.
SO, THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF
THINKING.
THINKING.
THINKING. FOR WHAT AGES?
>> AGES EIGHT AND UP.
>> THAT SEEMS COMPLICATED.
>> I WOULD TRADE PLACES WITH
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. THIS
YOU. THIS ONE IS FOR 10 AND UP AND
HAS AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. THIS IS A COOPERATIVE GAME.
FORBIDDEN SKY IS MADE BY, IT IS
A SERIES OF GAMES THAT WERE ALL
COOPERATIVE AND MADE BY THE GUY
WHO ORIGINALLY MADE THE GAME
PANDEMIC.
PANDEMIC.
PANDEMIC. HE MADE THESE VERSIONS SO THEY
ARE EASIER FOR OLDER AGE RANGES
AND THE BASIC WAY IT WORKS IS
YOU ARE TRYING TO EXPLORE THIS
GIGANTIC AIR PLATFORM THAT WILL
EVENTUALLY BE TAKEN DOWN BY A
GIANT STORM.
GIANT STORM. THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS TO
CONDUCT THESE DIFFERENT
ELECTRONIC PARTS TO LAUNCH THE
ROCKET.
ROCKET.
ROCKET. YOU HAVE THESE LITTLE PIECES
THAT ARE MOVING AROUND THE
DIFFERENT PLATFORMS AND DOING
THE WIRING.
THE WIRING. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
LITTLE THINGS LIKE LIGHTNING
AND THE STORM GETTING BETTER OR
BIGGER OR THE WIND KIND OF
BLOWING YOU AWAY WHEN YOU
FINALLY GET TO THE VERY FINAL
INTO COMPONENT YOU WILL NOTICE
THESE THINGS HAVE SHINY PARTS.
THAT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE
ACTUALLY MAGNETIC.
ACTUALLY MAGNETIC. >> AND THEN THINGS BEGIN TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. IS IT GOING TO TAKE OFF?
>> NOT COMPLETELY.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE LIGHTS AND
SOUNDS THEY TELL YOU YOU HAVE
SUCCEEDED, UNLESS YOU LEFT
SOMEBODY BEHIND.
SOMEBODY BEHIND. >> WHERE DO WE FIND YOU?
>> 120 N. 85th STREET.
PRETTY MUCH NEXT TO THE BARTELL
DRUGS.
DRUGS.
DRUGS. IT'S OBVIOUS IF YOU'RE HEADING
TOWARD GOLDEN GARDENS OFF OF I-
5. IT IS A LOVELY TOY STORE.
>> THANK YOU SO
