The men who would be King Advantages: Good clean, underhanded, backstabbing fun! Disadvantages: The game suffers with fewer than the full 6 players ...fantasy and the odd board game or three, hence it was only a matter of time until I got hold of a copy of The Game of Thrones board game, which nicely blends the two. WHAT IS IT? The Game of Thrones board game is a strategy game set in the world created by George RR Martin in the novel series of the same name. After the death of King Baratheon, 6 powerful Houses vie for the right of succession to the throne of Westeros. In this game, you control ... ...be put off though, this game is worth it! Each player chooses a random "House Card" which tells them which of the special characters (all taken from the novels) are theirs to control, which regions of the map they own at the start of the game and what army units to place in each location. Once the armies are placed on the board, you're ready to begin.

Barking Mad but a Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat Game Advantages: Fun for all ages Disadvantages: A bit expensive ...thoroughly recommend it nevertheless. Beware of the Dog seems to be quite widely available in stores and online. The rrp is £14.99.

Vamonos! Play Dora The Explorer's Adventure Game! Advantages: Suitable for 3 years plus, durable, easy and challenging options to game play. Disadvantages: The small back pack cards could easily get lost. Dora the explorer is a family favourite. My Daughter is a big fan of the TV show, and Mummy and Daddy don't hate it. So, Dora is always an option when it comes to buying presents. I was looking for a birthday present for my daughter for her fourth birthday, I wanted something she wouldn't play with once then not be bothered with any more, something educational and of course, something that was fun. Browsing the Argos catalogue I came across Dora ... ...square, and you can see Dora and boots on the front of it, so When Beth opened the present she was excited as soon as she saw her favourite characters and wanted to play it immediately -which was a good sign. So we opened the box and discovered A hard and durable square game board, a plastic spinner (which took only a moment to assemble), 4 chunky cardboard movers (Dora, boots, Tico and Isa) with good quality plastic stands, 6 red and 6 blue small ...
