Witch board game?

Advantages: plot, characters, price
Disadvantages: /

...'Witchopoly'. Each book in the range has its own attractive cover and this one in particular can be recognised by its lovely pastel blue and violet shades. Around the edge there is a gorgeous glittery border and matching Sabrina logo. On the front you will see a picture of Melissa Joan Hart, the actress who plays Sabrina, and Sabrina's dad - Ted Spellman. As Ted was in very little of the Sabrina books, I had a feeling this was going to be a rare treat. The plot itself tells us of another of Sabrina's antics. Sabrina buys her father a new board game for Fathers' Day: Witchopoly. The things that happen in the game happen in real life too and her father loses his magic, with Salem doubling his. They end up trapped with monsters luring, and it is up to Sabrina to save them, while trying to control Salem from taking over the world. This is definitely...

Review of Witchopoly (Sabrina The Teenage Witch) - John Vornholt

Do you have what it takes to survive?

Advantages: Well made, high quality strategy board game
Disadvantages: Lack of containers for the many pieces

...The temptation for a games manufacturer to cash in on a successful title or idea is overwhelming and almost every blockbuster adventure/action film will sooner rather than later have its own game released on the PS2. Sometimes popular board games such as Monopoly or chess get the PC makeover with varying degrees of success. A less common transition is from PC to board game and this is what Fantasy Flight games the makers of 'Warcraft- The board game' have attempted to do with 'Warcraft' originally a real time strategy fantasy game first produced for the PC in the 90's by Blizzard Entertainment. The challenge is to keep the feel of the game as close as possible to the well-known PC version. Of course the mechanics of the game, the resource gathering and the character battles as simulated on the PC are essentially based on rolling a die...

Review of Warcraft The Board Game

Could you gargle the national anthem?

Advantages: A fun filled family board game
Disadvantages: Helps if you like the Simpson's

...Even though we now live in a computer and console dominated world my boys still love an old fashioned board game. Don't get me wrong they love their X-box but are just as happy to play monopoly, payday, cluedo and a range of the new DVD board games that are taking up space in their bedroom! My eldest actually got this game for his birthday last year; both my boys are big fans of the Simpson's so when he saw this game advertised he wanted it. As I usually end up having to referee between them when they play these games it also needs to be a game that I would enjoy! I prefer faster paced games that are also fun and do not have to many complicated rules, not that I am thick or anything but my youngest loses interest very quickly so I need to be able to hold his attention. So did this game tick all the boxes? CONTENTS The box...

Review of The Simpsons Board Game

What a smart board!

Advantages: interactive, great display, useful resources, great teaching tool
Disadvantages: pens and remote too easy to steal, callibration issues

...PLEASE NOTE - PUNCTUATION STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING CORRECTLY IN MY REVIEWS. COME ON CIAO - SORT IT OUT!!! Teaching in schools has been revolutionised by the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. These boards have been gradually replacing the standard ?dry wipe? whiteboard as the central focus point of the classroom. There are two main brands used in schools at the moment and these are the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard and the SMART board. The Promethean uses one pen as the means of interacting with the board, where as the SMART board uses four coloured pens, an ?eraser? and you can also use your finger. I understand that this is not a product that anyone is likely to buy for their house as is main use is within schools, colleges, universities etc (having said that, businesses are now beginning to invest in...

Review of SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard 680 - whiteboard

boards for writing on then wiping clean

Advantages: saves paper
Disadvantages: none

...The students in my class use white / dry wipe boards to write/draw scribble on to practice pencil control and to do their work on. These white boards are the modern equivalent of a blackboard, a slate. They are useful in saving paper waste. Johnny can draw and correct many pictures on one of these as when the picture/work is finished with it can be wiped of by using an eraser Certainly easier to clean than a chalk board , cleaner no chalk dust making a mess White board pens seem easier for my special needs pupils to write with than standard pens. The non magnetic white boards our students use are about A4 size, they do come in different size some A3 others that are smaller or bigger. Some I have used have a plastic colored frame border around them others do not have any frame edging. Some are magnetic some not. A white board is...

Help Insey Winsey and have fun doing it!

Advantages: bright, colourful, he4lps with colours, shapes and counting
Disadvantages: Quite a few small pieces which are easily lost

...My three year old daughter was given this game for her birthday and absolutely loves it. It is her first introduction to the concept of board games, and she loves waiting for her turn to shake the dice! This game is based on the traditional Insey Winsey Spider song which most three year olds know very well. The aim of the game is to help Insey climb to the top of the drainpipe before it rains. It is a game for 2 - 4 players and I think that for three year olds they do need an adult playing with them! There are two versions - counting and shapes. Each player chooses a coloured spider and has a matching drainpipe board which has a blank side and a shape side. If you are playing the counting game you have the shape side of the drainpipe facing downwards and if you are playing the shape version they are facing upwards. The players...

Mammy Can I Go On My Bubby Board Now Preeeze.

Advantages: Saves lugging a double buggy everywhere. Easily detachable and fun for my son!
Disadvantages: Read down sides in op!

...Well my sons almost two and a half now and likes to walk everywhere or rather says he?s going to then ten minutes down the road and he wants a carry. Now this wasn?t to bad when I only had one child but now with a daughter too I had to think of a remedy for the situation. I originally bought a second hand double buggy (I wanted to see if I?d like them before shelling out a wad of dosh on a new one) when I was pregnant with my daughter but after two weeks I found it weighed ton and was very cumbersome getting on and off public transport so I decided I wanted buy a buggy board. I remembered reading about this wonderful invention here on ciao but I?d not seen anybody with one attached to their buggy. I asked about and my cousin said she?d seen a few people with them and they looked okay, she also said that the children on them...

Review of Kiddy Buggy Board

Insey Winsey Spider...

Advantages: Good counting game
Disadvantages: Gets a bit dull for older children

...Insey Winsey Spider A useful counting game for young children, I use this quite often, mainly because it is very simple to play and most young children are already confident and familiar with the rhyme. The game comes in a box which is quite sturdy and feels as though it has been almost plastic coated- great for keeping it in good condition. The fantastic thing about orchard toys games is that the instructions are on the base of the box-no losing bits of paper or trying to read the instructions for a game when those said instructions are all dog eared and tired looking. Suffice to say I do think it?s an excellent idea to put the rules on the base of the box. ~~What do I get?~~ Inside the box are the bits and pieces necessary to play the game:  4 drain pipes- one each in red green yellow and blue. These are in...

Monopoly card game Vs Travel Monopoly board game

Advantages: traveller friendly
Disadvantages: doesnt live up to the monopoly board game version

...The monopoly card game is ideal if you are on the move all the time. It saves yourself from lugging a massive monopoly board game on the train, on the bus or on your snazzling bmx vertigo. The monopoly card game is, i have to say very cheap (just under 5 pounds).Its light, and well, quite similar to the monopoly board game in terms of general principles (having to collect the right cards). Its quite a clean game (instead of having lots of bits and pieces that could potentially drop all over the floor when you're in transit). However... i've just bought myself a uk version, travel monopoly, its the size of a gameboy sp. very compact and very cute. the price is only marginally a bit more than the card set. the pieces click on the board. personally i think it it is a lot better than the card game. Its exactly the same as the standard...

GAME

Advantages: great games
Disadvantages: n/a

...Game is a great shop for any gaming fan, when it comes to getting the games that you want.If it is a console im afraid you are not so lucky, i spent ages trying to get a Nintendo Wii and they always seemed out of stock. They stock consoles, games and accessories for th Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, Gamecube, PC Games, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony Playstation Portable, Nintendo Wii, Xbox and Xbox 360. Game offer special deal when you buy a bundle with any of the consoles, games and accessories. Game is a shop that is well worth visiting if you are passing as they have special offers on a weekly basis on certain games, so worth a visit to try and bag bargain. I have noticed that you can get better offers if you look around online using the comparison sites as the game market is a very competitive market. Game...
