Make-Your-Own Games
Fall 2004 ToysReview:
Somehow we as parents have forgotten that toys don't have to beep, talk to
us or do all the work.
This inventive, uncomplicated and imaginative kit includes simple, durable
elements: a game board with two blank sides, a blank spinner, a blank deck
of cards, pop out shapes, three blank dice of different sizes and a glue
stick - enough pieces and supplies to create two games; it even has a
carrying case.
Testers spent time plotting and planning, thinking about what makes a game
fun, laying it all out and then putting it all together. After spending two
days creating the games, we all got to play. Players created their own rules
sheet; tweaking and perfecting the rules as game play progressed. A thought
provoking and innovative way to play and learn.
