Pixel Review



Pixel Feature

  • The cross-action strategy game
  • Fun strategy game of slide, point, align, and win
  • Mensa Select National Competition Winner
  • National Association for Gifted Children Recommended Toy List Award
  • 2-4 players
Don't let the situation slide out of control in this fun strategy game of slide, point, align and win. Move a slider and place your piece in the intersection. But there's a catch! Only one slider may be moved on each turn. You don't have to block your opponent -- but be careful not to leave those sliders in point blank range. The first player with three in a row wins. Pixel is the perfect strategy game for the whole family. Includes game board, 95 game pieces in four colors and game instructions. For 2 to 4 players

Niagara

Niagara Review



Niagara Feature

  • Canoers battle the water and each other to collect gems along the river bank
  • 2 to 5 player?s game
  • Takes 30 to 45 minutes play time
  • Recommended age range from 8 to 12 years
Niagara is set in the not particularly safe world of rushing waterfalls. In the late 18th Century, the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians pointed white Desperadoes, Mercenaries and Adventurers in the direction of hidden caches of valuable jewels, in the hopes of turning them against one another and away from their territorial expansion ambitions. Players play as some of those Adventurers.
