by admin November 21, 2014

Some games are easy and fun to play. Some games on the other hand, can be quite complicated and challenging. For kids who love to have both when playing broad games, nothing can provide such a unique experience like the Tracktic Game.

The Tracktic Game is a type of board game that may look easy at first glance. But when you try it yourself, you may be in for some challenge. The Tracktic Game has a simple objective for players- to build the longest path on the park. Each player has puzzle pieces that come in a single color to build their path on the board. But while you try to do so, your opponents will be doing the same thing. Plan your path so that you can block or stop your opponent from building a longer path. You can even flip their puzzle pieces in order to make it white and use it as your own. But be warned, white puzzle pieces on the board can be used by anyone.

The Tracktic Game is a strategic game that provides players with an exciting challenge that is not that complicated to understand. It allows players to think and plan each move in trying to create the longest path on the board. The board game comes with 140 puzzle pieces equally divided into four different colors, 4 stacking racks, 40 cards, 8 tokens and game instructions.

Kids are always imagining about epic battles of the different characters they know. Kids will imagine putting one superhero character against another and argue as to who will win the fight. Such things can lead to interesting arguments and funny stuff. If your kids and their friends like to imagine such things as part of games with friends or other family members, then the Superfight! Card Game will come in handy as a fun indoor activity.

The Superfight! Card Game set offers a way for kids to imagine battle situations between different characters and who will possibly win. But this time, it may not always be the superheroes against another. The characters in the Superfight! can be quite serious as well as funny. The Superfight! Card Game set contains character cards and separate good/bad attributes cards. Players pick a character out of the card as well as two or more of their attributes. Mind you, the combinations are endless and may border from the downright interesting to the hilariously funny.

There will be a lot of convincing and funny arguments between pitted players. The player who did the best pitch wins, along with convincing the game judge.
