Qwirkle Board Game

The board game Qwirkle is not new this year, in fact it has been around for a couple years, but it is currently one of the best selling games for the 2009 holiday season. So if you don’t already own this game, you may want to give it a look.

Qwirkle was a Mensa Best Mind Game Award winner in 2007. Designed for 2-4 players age 6 years old and up, the average game is around 45 minutes. Game play is similar to the strategy of Scrabble and the visual element of dominoes as you create columns and rows of matching colors and shapes.

New EyeClops Mini Video Projector Toy

One of the best new Toys of 2009 is the EyeClops Mini Projector. To start with, I want to point that this is a toy, not to be confused with a high end home theater system. There is a reason that this is priced as low as it is and marketed as a “toy”. With that said, this is very popular and getting great reviews from customers on amazon.

The projector allows your kids to project a video source such as a video game or movie on the wall or on the ceiling. The room will need to be mostly dark for you to be able to see the image. Designed for kids age 8 year old and up, the projector can even be used outdoors with a battery pack! Check it out!

New Bop It Game

The classic Bop It Game by Hasbro has been updated this year with a new Bop It game. This new game is getting great reviews and has quickly become a top seller for 2009. Designed for adults and kids age 8 year old and up, this game is fun for one person or challenge your friends and family and play as a group.

There are a variety of games based on skill level and the number of players. Since its small in size, it’s easy to take with you as a great game for traveling too.

So get ready to think fast and sharpen up your reflexes with this fun game!
