Q-bitz from Mindware
With many of my toy and book retailers reaching the 50+ mark in Q-bitz games sold this season, I thought I would spread the word by offering a quick summary that illustrates just how fast and easy it is to demonstrate and sell this game. With two or three practice runs, you can literally demo this game in 30 seconds. I know this is a crazy time of year and there is not a lot of time to show games, especially when there are long lines forming at your till. So, if worst comes to the worst, I can email a sheet for you to print out on your colour printer and display with the games. But, if you do have a moment or two to show the game when a customer expresses interest, it can sometimes really pay off with additional game sales. That’s because while you are showing one customer the game other customers in your chaotic busy store are probably peering over your shoulder and watching the demo too!

Here’s how Q-bitz works:
Round One is all about speed as players race to manipulate their cubes to copy the pattern on the Q-bitz card. The first player to complete the pattern yells “Q-bitz!” and keeps the card.
Round Two adds luck to the equation, as players roll their cubes to match the pattern. Keep rolling until you get the shapes you need to complete the pattern. The first player to complete the pattern yells “Q-bitz!” and keeps the card.
Round Three really tests brain power, as players get 10 seconds to memorize the card and then must re-create the pattern from memory! The first player to complete the pattern or get closest to completing the pattern from memory keeps the card. Collect the most cards and win!
It really is that simple. Everyone is up and playing in minutes!
Includes 120 Q-bitz cards, 4 wooden trays and 4 sets of 16 cubes. 2 to 4 players. MSRP $29.99. Ages 8+
