New Family Titles from Gamewright

Gamewright has released four new titles recently:

  • City Square Off™:  In this game, players go head-to-head against their opponents in a game of city planning.  Draw a card and try to fit the matching tile into the city grids.  Careful planning will ensure you have a space to play your next piece.  Build your city without going outside the limits and you’ll win.
  • FlipOut™:    This card game has players flipping, swapping, and switching cards to get at least four of a kind in a row.  The cards are double-sided, so anyone can take and use any card they can see.  Collect the most cards and you win.
  • Joe Name It™: This party game tests your “numbers know-how” in a fast-paced “name it to claim it” mechanism.  Draw a category card and then fill in the blank with the number of matching items  you just rolled. 
  • Who Would Win™:  This game of creativity and imagination has players drawing cards that become improbable celebrity match-ups, such as Donald Trump and Albert Einstein in a hot dog eating contest.  Convince the judge why your character would win in the randomly chosen event, get the most votes, and win the game.

Two New Titles from Gamewright

The Gamewright web site has announced two new titles, “Can You See What I See?” and “Pool Sharks(tm)“.

“Can You See What I See?” is based on the books of Walter Wick. The game refines visual discrimination skills, sharpens focus, and increases concentration. Players of this “visual game of hide and seek” look for hidden objects to match those on other cards and “Find Me” tiles.

“Pool Sharks(tm)” bears a visual resemblance to the classic “Hungry, Hungry Hippos” game, though it’s nothing like that game. In this game, players use a shark-shaped mechanism to make their shots on a small pool table, trying not to sink the eight ball too soon. It reportedly improves spatial relations and hand-eye coordination skills.
