For age 7+ - 2 or more players - Game time up to 2 mins The world's fastest game by Reinhard Staupe! Blink is the lightning fast game where two players race to be the first to play all cards. Using sharp eyes and fast hands, players quickly try to match the shape, number of shapes or colour on the cards. The first player out wins! 'Blink' Review by Ben Rainbird, The Actor Blink is possibly the most accurately-titled game I’ve ever played. It’s fast, very fast. Faster than Roger Bannister on rollerskates after twelve consecutive cups of coffee. So fast that if you, ahem, blink, you’ll miss it... Billed as a two-player game, although I see no obstacle to more people playing it, the basic objective of Blink is to lose all your cards as quickly as possible. At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt an equally sized draw pile, then the top card from each is placed face down between the players. Each player then takes the top three cards from his or her pile, and the game begins as the face-down cards on the table are flipped over. The players, without taking turns, then race to play cards from their hands as quickly as possible, instantly replacing cards they play with cards from the draw pile, so that they always have three cards in their hand. Here’s the important part: all the cards have different symbols on them - stars, moons, thunderbolts, clouds and soforth, all in varying numbers and colours. A card can only be played if the shape, colour or number of objects on the card matches the one you’re going to slap it down on, and as everyone will be constantly playing cards onto the middle of the table, you’ll have to be very fast if you want to avoid falling behind. The players continue like this until someone runs out of cards and wins. A good one to play with children, not least because they don’t have to take turns. I think adults will like it too (I certainly do), it’s an extremely quick game to play, lasting as little as 1 minute per round if the players are fast enough. Things can get quite competetive, sometimes with players slapping down cards at the same time, which makes me thankful the cards don’t have sharp corners, otherwise a roll of bandages would become necessary in more heated games. This game is definitely slanted more towards the fun side of the ‘Family Fun’ spectrum, although no doubt it would aid younger children in shape recognition, not to mention developing their reflexes.

Catch the Match is an eye-catching, pattern recognition game. There are 15 cards that each have the same 15 objects. Each object is different and is in different colors and various locations on the cards. Any two cards always have one (and only one) object that is exactly identical in color. All players play at the same time. Be the first to find this pair and say the name of the object and point it out. If correct, the player takes one of the cards as a reward. The player with the most cards, when all run out wins! Catch the Match is simple to learn while still making for an exciting, brain-stimulating time. For 2 to 8 Players Ages 5 to Adult 15 Minute Playing Time Contents: 15 Catch the Match Cards & Instructions in English, Spanish & French

The classic game of charades especially designed for kids to play and enjoy. There are cards to suit all age groups from 4 years upwards. The younger children can have fun looking at the pictures whilst acting out lions, dogs, cats... Older children act out fun things like eating spaghetti, doing up your shoelaces.... either way it's great fun as the whole family try to guess before the egg timmer runs out!
