Gamewright Goes Big for Its 20th Anniversary - Slamwitch Review

2014 will mark Gamewright’s 20^th year of making “games for the infinitely imaginative.” To celebrate this giant milestone, the Newton, MA based company is thinking big with 7 new titles that will be released at the New York International Toy Fair. Games include a “super-sized” edition of Slamwich, a jumbo version of the hot-selling Rory’s Story Cubes, as well as Qwixx, an exciting family dice game from Europe, and the re-launch of a highly anticipated card game called Sushi Go! More highlights from Gamewright’s latest and greatest:
 

• Super Slamwich – A 20^th anniversary edition of Gamewright’s now-classic first ever card game. Includes oversized cards and a giant sandwich shaped box.

 • Rory’s Story Cubes - MAX – Nine extra large cubes with the original Rory’s Story Cubes images that aim to inspire the storyteller in all of us. 

 • Sushi Go! – A fast-paced sushi-themed card game in a gorgeous tin package.

 • Pyramix – Easy to learn and hard to win strategy game with wooden components that form a cascading pyramid.

 • Qwixx – A dice game full of fever-pitched decision making. This game is a thrill – a- roll.

 • Dodge Dice – Push your luck and dodge penalty points with this dice game perfect for groups.

 • Over Under – Latest title in our travel-friendly “Port-a-Party” game line. This is the ultimate game of guesstimates where being close counts.

My thoughts:

We tried out the Slamwitch Game and it's a fun game for children as well as adults.  It comes in a box that looks like a lunch box.  The instructions are quite simply and easy to understand, except for children ten and under I would suggest an adult explaining them.  The cards are sturdy and easy to handle.  And are very colorful with detail.   The person that ends up with all the cards wins.

Some of the combinations are hilarious. For example, peanut butter and eggs.  My son gets so excited when he slaps the cards and gets to yell "stop thief".  My daughter who is ten has sleep overs, and the girls love to play this game.  The only down fall is if only two people are playing the game can be lengthy, I would recommend more than two. 

This is only a few example of dozens of fun games available at Gamewright. They have games available for children from ages three and up.   To learn more about this great company and all they have to offer you can visit their website. You can also follow them on twitter or become their fan on face book. Also be sure to check out all their games on Amazon. Spice up your family game night with the unique board games you can only find at Gamewright!
