Combining well-thought strategy with quick-thinking challenges, Qwirkle is played by creating rows and columns of matching colors and shapes; since the simple play requires no reading, the whole gang can connect shapes and colors, making the strategic multiple-tile moves that earn maximum points. 108 wood blocks. At the end of June, 2011, Qwirkle was awarded the Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) in Germany. The award was founded in 1978 with the stated purpose of rewarding excellence in board and card game design and promoting top-quality games in the German market. It is considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious game awards. The criteria on which a game is evaluated include game concept (originality, playability, game value); rule structure (composition, clearness, comprehensibility); layout (box, board, rules) and design (functionality, workmanship.)

If you were fortunate enough to order and receive these great new products at the August CGTA show or the Alberta Gift Show, you and your customers already know what a great value they are. Sadly, everyone else in North America figured it out too, and now Patch is completely sold out. Based on the lack of any solid information on when they may have more, I would guess that they may arrive late in the year or early in 2012. If I get any further updates, I will post it to my blog. I would also suggest putting in a back order for them just in case any become available. These activity tins feature colourful magnets and fun magnetic backgrounds so kids can explore their imagination. The convenient 8” x 10” tin opens to expose two magnetic play surfaces for making scenes, telling stories, and more. Close the tin to keep the pieces secure and use the handle for easy transport. Choose from: Fashion Spotlight, Robo-Struct, Cutie Pets and Wild Wheels.

Word of mouth continues to drive the steadily growing market for this game and because it is still increasing in popularity, What? makes my shortlist again this year for game recommendations. Practically unbeatable as an office party game during the Holiday Season.
What? is the party game of guessing who-said-what. Players must write responses to humorous questions and situations, and everyone must guess who wrote what. With players trying to come up with the most comical and outrageous answers possible, What? is one of the funniest party games you will ever play. The perfect game for get-togethers and parties.

Three different types of visual challenges make Q-bitz the perfect game for multiple playing styles. 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 keeps the card. Round two adds luck to the equation, as players roll their cubes to match the pattern. Round three really tests brain power, as players get 10 seconds to memorize the card and then must re-create the pattern from memory! Collect the most cards and win! This is another game that is great fun to demo in the store!

I say it a lot but these 46-piece, two-sided, floor puzzles sell like hotcakes…ALL…YEAR…ROUND. Like the sturdy box the puzzles come in, these high quality puzzles are bright and colourful and the pieces are thick and durable. The finished size for each puzzle is 2 x 3 feet. In addition to fun for children as young as 3, the puzzles also have educational value. The letters of the alphabet and the numbers 0-9 are hidden in the scenery…pretty sneaky, hug? Choose from: Enchanted Kingdom, A Day on the Farm, Emergency!, Dinosaur Land and A Day At The Zoo. Other great floor puzzles from Patch include My First Floor Puzzle – Let’s Visit the Zoo and My First Floor Puzzle – Farming Fun.

Fine quality plus very reasonable prices equals great value. That is what I would describe as the best way to sum up the success of Royal & Langnickel. From Painting by Numbers and Engraving Art to an impressive selection of quality art supplies, Royal & Langnickel gives retailers the advantage of an art section in their stores without a massive investment. These are products that sell through extremely well in a variety of retail settings and I give this line my highest recommendation. Check out the Royal & Langnickel catalogue at the very back of your 2011 Outset Media catalogue in the Big Green Binder and be sure to bring in the new Sketching Made Easy kits on page 13, the new Keep N’ Carry™ sets on page 28, the Art Tins on page 30 and the Essentials™ Artist Packs on page 31.

I think the packaging, the game play and the price point all score high on this game.
Squirm, pout and kick all you want...at some point you're just going to have to give in and say "uncle!" This cunning, strategic and downright fun-to-play card game, gets everyone in on the rushing riot of action! Players push letter cards away -fast, faster, faster yet- to force their opponents to have the word "U-N-C-L-E" spelled out in front of them. Stay alert, stay on your toes, and keep moving those letter cards in the direction of your opponents! Be careful, if you have "U-N-C-L-E" in front of YOU at the end of your turn, you're out! Say Uncle is easy to learn, a riot to play, and keeps everyone engaged in the action! Take it from us, even when you're out, you'll hang around mesmerized by the frenzied card tossing. For festive gatherings of family and friends that are long remembered - open up the deck of Say Uncle.
