Classic Games
 Balderdash
(Milton
Bradley) Ages 12 and up, $22.99
This is a classic
bluffing game that's almost more fun for adults to play then kids.
There are five categories on the cards that list People, Words, Initials, Movies
and Laws that you shouldn't really know anything about. The
object of the game is to make up answers that will bluff other players.
You earn points by fooling your friends into believe your bluff as well as
selecting the correct answer. The "dasher" determines the category and
reads the question and the hilarity begins. It's a great game that works
well for older kids, parties and dinner parties with friends! Our mom tester
reported that "this is a great game." When asked what her
daughter thought of it she said, "oh, she loved it too!" I guess
that answers the multi-generational question about the game!
 Guess
Who? (Milton
Bradley) Ages 6-8, $15.99
Although I wasn't given this to test, I had
to add it as one of the best games. My daughter and I play this all the
time. Set up is a bit of a pain, but this game is fun, fun, fun. The
object is to guess who their opponent's "Mystery Person" is.
We've been playing this since my daughter was 4 so don't be discouraged by the
age!
 Chutes
& Ladders Game (Milton
Bradley) Ages 3-10, $8.99
Another classic game. The object is to move your child-shaped
playing piece from square one to square 100. If you hit a chute you
slide back, and if you land on a ladders you climb forward. Great
for number recognition, and children don't need to read to be able
to play.
Scrabble Classic Edition
(Milton Bradley) Ages
8 & up, $14.23
This is one of the best games invented. The tiles and rack are
still
made of wood, the board is sturdy, and it's as fun as ever! How many
times
have you played Scrabble? Get your grandchild this game and a
dictionary. You'll have as much fun as they will!
Monopoly
(Parker Bros) Ages 9
& up, $14.99
As always, you can buy property, add houses and hotels, and cash
in -- or go bankrupt! This game can go on for hours, or you can play
one of the shorter variations. A must-have for any family's game
closet.
 Twister
(Milton
Bradley) Ages 6 & up, $15.99
This game is good for ages 6 to 99! Kids will love this game
because it's active and requires no reading skills -- just color
recognition. Teens and older will have fun with it at sleepovers and
parties. Adults -- well, let's just say that we hear it's hilarious
after a glass or two of wine!
