Holiday Gift Guide: Wink Board Game



Wink
AGES 8 TO ADULT • 4-8 PLAYERS
Wink is a hilarious party game that will plunge you deep into an atmosphere full of crazy laughter, awkward stares, and a healthy dose of paranoia.
Each turn, you will try to covertly wink at your new secret partner without being detected by the other players. Keep your eyes wide open, because if you catch an opponent in the act of winking you can use one of your Accuse Cards to steal their points! The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Skills:
  • Social Play
  • Focus & Attention
Contents:

  • 2 Decks of 36 Numbered Face Cards
  • 32 Accuse Cards
  • 8 Player Cards
  • 8 Wooden Player Tokens
  • Illustrated Rules
Ages: 8 to Adult
Players: 4 to 8
Play Time: 20-30 minutes
Our Thoughts:
Game play is simple! You deal out one deck face up on the table in a grid. The second deck gets dealt evenly to all players. Each round you place your token on the card color you DO NOT have in your hand. The person that has that card in their hand is your "secret partner." This is when your partner must wink at you so that you know you're a team! If you guess your partner correctly you both get to score the points on the cards, and you'll repeat this until all cards are gone from the table or someone's hand. 
This is where the fun comes in! If someone catches you and uses their accuser card and are correct they will score both the points of the card you're on and your partners card. Do you have what it takes to "win with a wink?" You'll laugh until you cry playing this game!
This is a great gift idea for any kid or adult. Christmas is right around the corner, and if you're struggling with ideas, you won't go wrong with this one. We had so much fun playing, can look forward to the next game night.

Holiday Gift Guide - Spot It! Holidays Game



Santa and his elves have been working hard in the workshop to bring you our most popular game decked out for the holidays! Spot it! Holidays comes in a travel-friendly tin, perfect as a stocking stuffer or wrapped under the tree with a red bow. From Santa’s Reindeer to a Gingerbread Man, all illustrated cards are decorated with festive and traditional symbols. Spot it! Holidays is THE game to play with your friends and family and you might even catch Ebenezer Scrooge having a jolly good time!




My thoughts:

My family loved playing Spot it!  We have other Spot it games, but the holiday version is a great one to play with the holidays approaching.  I have a seven and ten year and this game has kept them busy.  They play it numerous times during the day.  My husband and I enjoy playing with them.   


This game comes with 55 bright and colorful cards, with holiday symbols on them.  Anyone from the age of 6 to 66 would enjoy this game.  The instructions are easy to understand to get this game started.  The colorful sturdy tin that this game comes in can fit in the palm of your hand.  So does not take up much room at all to store when not in  playing use.

A definite must have game for the whole family to play and enjoy!  And also makes a great holiday gift.
