The Game of Life Twists & Turns

By Jolyne Shelton (American Fork, UT) - reviews

We played this game with my 9 year old, and 6 year old. They both caught right on with no problems! My 75 year old mother even got it! We had it at my daughter's sleepover, and the 10 year old girls there loved it, and couldn't leave it alone. Our family highly recommends this game!

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (Commemorative Edition) (Princeton Classic Editions)

By Mark (Ottawa, Canada) - reviews

I'm not even sure I'm qualified to pass judgement on this book, but what I understand, I give 5 stars without hesitation. The authors discuss almost every class of game (2-person, 3-person, zero-sum, non-zero-sum, etc.) and even a very simplified version of poker.

You basically have to be a mathematician to get full value from this book. This book is absolutely full of equations and complex proofs. For a beginner with little math, I'd recommend Game Theory by Morton Davis, or for someone with some university math I'd recommend Games and Decisions by Luce and Raiffa. However, if your math is good, you might as well go straight to this book, which started the whole field of game theory.

Electronic Hyperslide

By K. Corn "reviewer" (Indianapolis,, IN United States) - reviews

Although the age range for this one is noted as being for ages eight and up, I can personally testify to the fact that teens also find the Hyper Slide to be fun and challenging.

It comes equipped with five games and my son and a group of his friends spent hours in our living room, the only room with a roaring fire and some warmth, playing this game. They were laughing and cheering each other on in their attempt to slide the various colors of "pucks" or little chips under the arch of hyper slide - as soon as the recorded voice of the "game leader" told them which colored chip to select.

What is particularly clever about the Hyper Slide is its single player option. To use it for solo players, you simply take a rubber strip and insert it into the appropriate parts of the arch, converting it instantly from a 2 person game to one for an individual player. Very smart!

THere are five games of varying difficulty. The most challenging for our family was the one where a pattern of colors would be noted (red, yellow, yellow would be one example) and then an ADDITIONAL color would be added to that pattern so that the player would have to remember an increasing number of chips to slide through the arch, all in a given time limit. Try it and see how hard it can be.

Because of the different levels of difficulty, I have to rate this one high. It held our teen's attention - and those of his friends - for most of a day and has continued to be popular.

Rock N' Fold Chair

By Vittoria duSolie "fiannakyne" (Springfield, Missouri United States) - reviews

my husband's orgional Nentindo chair finaly bit the dust this summer so we were on the serch for a new one, when we saw this one at Best Buy. He tried it out and I practacly had to dump him out (the real reason it can rock) he didn't even know it folded! (the orgional did not) I can't belive the people complaining it needs a cup holder! When I sit in it, I can put my hand flat on the ground! and if you wanted a foot and head rest, sit in a real chair! This thing is for proper posture while sitting ON THE FLOOR.
