Oh the game of Perfection brings me back to my childhood… Oh
the stress… I kid I kid… well a little… I remember trying to move fast and line
up the shapes and I would get so close and bam! The time was up and the game
would pop and scare me to death… This was one of the original games that was my
Dad’s from childhood so maybe the timer loudness was just from that game at the
time. But even though it does make you jump, it also makes you think and it is
pretty fun to play, just as fun as ever.
Mouse Trap Game - The Mouse Trap game,
a longtime family favorite, is good for zany action and lots of laughs. Scurry around
the board collecting cheese and stealing cheese from other players...but watch
out for the trap! While kids are engaged in playing the Mouse Trap game, they
can also practice valuable skills in construction, cause and effect, and
decision making. As they interact with the trap, a working, multi-part machine,
kids can practice construction skills. Kids will have so much fun playing this
wacky game! Reviewed by MENSA for Kids and includes game board, 4 mouse pawns,

Playing Mouse Trap was such a fun game. This game was like
having a playset, and a game all in one. Set up the traps and then head off to
try not to get caught up in one. This was a game we played a lot as kids. We
never realized then that this game was teaching us valuable skills in construction,
cause and effect, and decision making we just knew it was a lot of fun and we
had the chance to trap one of our friends. This game is still popular as ever.
Downspin Game - Play the strategic game
filled with gears, twists, and turns with Downspin! Players take turns using
their game key to crank one gear at a time, then work their way toward getting

Downspin is a new to me and my family game. A game of
building cranking and outwitting. The game is simple to play simply crank one
gear at a time, then work their way toward getting all of their tokens from the
top of the chute, down into the bottom chute first to win! I cannot wait to
show this game to my little nephew, he s is big fan of everything mechanical and
loves to build, he will get a kick out of playing this game that is for sure.

creativity to the test with the creative and cooperative CRANIUM SCULPT IT

Cranium Sculpt It Game, this game is a blast! My daughter
had grown up playing various Cranium games and this is her favorite. She is a
natural born artist (she gets this from my husband, me… not so much) loving to
draw, sculpt and create. With this game she has a ball sculpting out her answer
and we all have a little chuckle when it comes time for me to sculpt but it is
all in clean fun.
With these games you can enjoy the fun of playing the game,
along with honing your skills. When a game is approved by Mensa, you have to
respect that and know it is a game you are really going to get something out
of. Do you remember playing some of these games a child? Do your kids like
