A see a light at the
end of the tunnel-no, really, I do!
“What tunnel?", you may
ask.
Why the game tunnel.
With the predominance
of video games over the past quarter of century it is encouraging when I spot
more and more gamers abandoning their gaming consoles and playing real games:
board games, strategy games and IQ challenging games.
That’s why I’m so
excited that Smart Games keeps
turning out games for the entire family-games that challenge players-games that
bring the fun back into gaming.
Space, spaceships and
asteroid field—admit it –who doesn’t like the adventure of challenging
space? What a perfect vehicle for a
game. I mean-if video games can do
space, why can’t a single-player game put gamers into middle of the action.
Asteroid Escape pits a gamer’s wits, strategy and creativity
to the max.
It sounds simple enough:
a player has to navigate their spaceship through and asteroid field. Simple?
Not so fast!
Did I mention that
there are 60 challenges (contained in a small booklet) where a gamer must
navigate their ship through shifting asteroids in order to escape?
Here’s the kicker, no
asteroids can block your spaceship or obstruct its wings in order to escape.
Talk about a
challenge!
Check out the cool 3D
game board (with clear, plastic, protective cover), asteroids and an awesome
spaceship with its red cockpit and thrusters.
You have to think
fast, avoid getting hit by asteroids and escape!
It’s time to go
nuts. No, really-you have to little go
nuts, or should I say, go after nuts.
In Squirrels Go Nuts! A single player (six
years old and up) must take on 60 challenges ranging from easy to expert.
Winter is coming on
and it’s vitally important that squirrels hide away their nut supply
underground.
You challenge is to
maneuver your squirrels around the game board (avoiding flowers) and drop all of
the nuts into holes.
Trust me-it’s harder
than it looks.
Those cute little
squirrels don’t always cooperate and it may look like you’ve made the right
moves to drop the nuts into holes-but don’t count your nuts yet!
Try not to get too
‘squirrely’ as you go nuts!
Are you ready to
challenge your brain? Do you have what
it take to arrange groups of stars on a grid in 120 configurations?
If you have what it
takes to win then IQ Stars is the
single player game for you.
It looks easy, but
placing seven stellar puzzle pieces on the board in the proper sequence is a
real brain-buster.
There are only so
many holes to place the stars in and they only fit together as clusters in
select configurations.
IQ Stars challenges
gamers’ concentration, problem solving skills and logic.
