2005 Award
4-Way Spelldown!
(Cadaco $19.99 Score:
) Roll the two "letter" dice and try to make a word with the letters thrown and as many of the 10 letter keys on the playing board. For example, if you roll a "t" and an "o," and you have a "y" and an "s," you can spell "toys." The first to flip all of their keys wins. Marked 6 & up, but we'd say more like 8 & up. (800) 621-5426.

Chicken Coop Dominoes
(Fundex $14.95 Score:
) A new twist on dominoes. An electronic coop is the centerpost of this fun game. Players build “legs” off the coop and when they add a “double,” everyone must play matching tiles to form a three-pronged chicken leg. Develops matching, counting, and strategy skills. 8 & up.

Rumis
(Educational Insights $29.95 Score:
) A three-dimensional strategy game where the object is to place your three-dimensional blocks on the board in such a way as to have the most showing from above. Of course your opponents are there to block you! More challenging to play than last year’s award-winning Blokus ($29.95), which is played with flat pieces. While even younger players enjoyed Blokus, Rumis will most likely appeal only to the 10 and up crowd. (800) 995-4436.

I Spy Word Scramble
(Briarpatch $19.99 Score:) This has a big game board with sliding tiles. Players take turns drawing a card, choosing a letter or image on the card, and spelling that word by sliding letters before the timer runs out. Challenging fun for 7 & up. (800) 232-7427.

Who? What? Where?
(Pazow $29.95 Score:) Each player takes a who, what, and where card, which asks that you draw a certain image—Abraham Lincoln, fishing, in Paris, for example. Players get points for guessing each other’s drawings. A fun family game. Marked 12 & up, but our 10-year-old testers had a great time.

There's a Moose in the House
(Gamewright $9.99 Score:) One of the most innovative card games we've played in years. The cards have pictures of empty rooms, doors, and moose in the same rooms. The object is to place as many moose as possible in your opponents' house of cards. The player with the fewest moose at the end of the game, wins. Easy to learn and a lot of fun to play! 2–5 players. 15 mins. Still top rated, PDQ, short for Pretty Darn Quick, a great word game for travel. 8 & up.

Zigity
(Cranium $12.95 Score:) Our own family played many heated rounds of Zigity! The object is to be the first to get rid of your cards, but watch out—there are different activities that can change the course of the game dramatically. For example, just as you think you’re going to win, you may be forced to draw three additional cards. Visual discrimination and word and number play are all part of the fun. 8 & up. (877) 272-6486.

Star Wars Monopoly
(Milton Bradley $29.99 Score:) In honor of the last installment of the series, Hasbro has brought out several classic games with a SW theme. The Star Wars Saga Edition Monopoly ($29.99 1⁄2) is great fun with features that span the series including Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Yoda. The board takes you through the galaxy. For parents who enjoyed Stratego ($15.99 ) or Risk ($24.99 ), your kids will enjoy these versions with characters from all six movies. We’d skip the Chess Set ($29.99 ); the pieces are too difficult to distinguish for young chess players). (888) 836-7025.

Who? What? Where? Jr.
(Pazow $19.95 Score:) Each player takes a who, a what, and a where card, which combine to ask you to draw a certain image—Abraham Lincoln fishing in Paris, for example. Players get points for guessing each other’s drawings. A fun family game for 7 & up. A follow-up to last year’s PLATINUM AWARD-winning game for 12 & up. (415) 885-5006.

Zig Zag
(Educational Insights $19.99 Score:) The object here is to get four of your pegs in a row. Of course that’s easier said than done, since your opponent will also be trying to stop you with a variety of road blocks that will make you zigzag! Marked 7 & up, yet our tween and adult testers found this to be a high strategy game that they wanted to play repeatedly. (800) 933-3277.
