Quelf Premier Edition Board Game
1 recommendation
"great game for parties and family gatherings. Quirky game play adds to the laughter, and I guarantee there will be laughter. Tasks can be crazy trivia questions, stunts, songs, and rules that change as you go. It may be the wackiest board game I've ever seen. Easy to learn and play. A great go to for an icebreaker or when everyone just needs a laugh."

"A hit with the kids and the adults. Simple concept, challenging game play. It is like scrabble with colors and shapes instead of letters. Players can create lines of tiles that are EITHER the same color OR the same shape. Lots of fun."

"2 person game that is very easy to learn while providing challenging game play. This was my family's most played game this holiday season for adults and kids alike. Simple task of moving colored tiles to create sets or lines of 5 of the same color. Requires strategy and planning to win. Game play is also fairly quick - 15 minutes or so per game."
Scrabble, Diamond Anniversary Edition
1 recommendation
"wonderfully designed Scrabble set. The board folds in half and has handles making it easy to take along for fun. The built in drawers keep all the trays and pieces handy. My favorite feature is that the exterior has built in wheels, turning the board into perfect lazy susan so that it is easy for all users to see the board. Well worth it."
Flinch
1 recommendation
"great card game that has been around since the early 1900's. Basic object is to get rid of your "stockpile" of 10 cards by playing them sequentially. It has a bit of a solataire feel to it, with the added complications of being a multiplayer game. Worth learning. The directions look complicated but play is very simple."

Pittsburgh Steelers' Connect Four
1 recommendation
"Oh my god, I could launch into the most pathetic historical account of my lifelong obsession with Connect Four but.... I won't. Just toss about phrases like "addiction" and "using different voices as I switched seats because I was an only child and had no one to play with" and you'll get the idea. ANYWAY, love this version. Supercool. Much cooler than I ever was..... Sigh."

Paradux Board Game
1 recommendation
"Lest you think all do is buy board games, let me state that most of my board game recommendations were bought by my family. I really only play them when I'm with family or a good friend and there's not much else to do. Glad that's cleared up. Paradux is one of those simple to play, hard to master games. I believe it was originally made by Gigamic, but the rights were sold to another company wh..."

Snatch Word Game

"This game will appeal to the Scrabble and Boggle lovers but is much easier to learn than Scrabble and more interesting than Boggle. Games can be as fast as you want, or you can spend minutes trying to figure out how to steal words that others have built by reordering and adding letters."

"Being parents of hard core gamers, this is the console for the rest of US! I don't play the PS2 or Xbox 360 or GameCube because it is too complicated for non-gamers. But i'm getting a Nintendo Wii for myself! I can play it without knowing anything about the controller etc. Wii Sports comes with it and it's revolutionary. My kids will only get a Sony PS3 though... but they will sneak a play with..."
