Mr. Jack

Description

this game is quickly becoming a favorite among 2 person games. It is a great deduction game where one player is the inspector and has to ferret out who among the 8 characters on the board is Jack the Ripper, through a series of questions as the characters get moved around the board.

Zooloretto | BoardGame

First to recommend

Description

This is a great family game - players build their own zoo and attract visitors, but they have to build carefully - if you aren't careful you'll end up with too many animals and no where to put them! Ages 8 and up.

Dicecapades Board Game

First to recommend

Description

who knew that 100+ dice could be so entertaining! This is a great board game for ages 12 and up (younger kids can play if you play in teams and they team up with someone older). The players move across the board into areas that tap on physical challenges, logic and trivia. Great fun for all!
the manufacturer says:
Find who can stack six dice on top of each other within thirty seconds and be the first person to roll a triple. Can you name as many state capitals as your roll? Know what arachibutyrophobia is. Dice-capades is not just the luck of the dice it is the smartness of the roller. Complete with 133 dice and 100 cards, exercise both sides of your brain with this super fun game for friends and family. With a mixture of dice games, physical challenges, artistic creations, and trivia questions that are sure to test your noodle, you will see why Dice-capades is a crazy fun game.

DAO GAME

First to recommend

Description

this is a GREAT game - the simplicity of tic tac toe, but with a lot more strategy.

Dao is a two-player abstract strategy board game, which won the Mensa Select award in 2001. It comprises a 4x4 playing board with four playing pieces for each player.

The aim of the game is to arrange your pieces in certain winning formations before your opponent can. It is unique because any piece that is moving must move as far as it can.
