Undoubtedly the best game we have seen this year. A simple idea, ingeniously put together.  Words, letters, numbers, shapes, colours & an assortment of random objects! How much information can you absorb in a few seconds? You can look at what's in front of you, but how much detail will you actually see... & how well can you remember what was there? If you can scan everything & commit it effectively to your memory, then you'll do very well playing Information Overload. You might need some practise though!  With eight categories to choose from, round by round, you'll be confronted by images, words & numbers. In just 30 seconds, you'll need to remember as much as you can & then answer questions based on what you've seen. Beware though, the questions are clever & can easily trip you up! The winner will be the player who has recalled things most effectively & accumulated the highest number of points in the proces ...

This is a clock-making kit with a difference! Both sides of the wind-up clock are transparent, meaning that the workings of the clock are completely visible. So rather than being a tool to help children learn how to tell the time, this is designed to give them an understanding of how a clock actually works. They will be able to see how the swinging pendulum causes the different cogs & springs to rotate, move, turn the hands of the clock & make the bell chime too

Every now & again, a game comes along which is so utterly brilliant, it simply makes you shout 'wow!'. Thinktangles! falls into that category. The game consists of a series of challenges that require you to think at speed & race against your opponent (s) to locate images, words & letters in a constantly changing playing area. The twist is that the item you are trying to find might not even be there! Each of the 32 shaped cards in play contains ten images, words or letters, making a total of 320 across the cards. Every card also has a border of one, two or three colours. The 200 challenge cards give you a clue to something that needs to be located. However, there is a catch! Rolling the special dice will determine which of the shaped cards & which border colours you can use to complete the challenge. So your brain needs to concentrate on three things simultaneously! What starts as a simple looking challenge will soon leave you tied up in thinking knots & a mistake could co ...

Its Rummy, Meets Poker, Meets Battleships! One player takes the blue side & one the green side. Starting with five card tiles, on your turn, place two cards from your hand anywhere into the grid, replenish your hand & trade your least useful tiles.
