2008 Game of the Year Award

Continuing my series on the Toys Industry Association Toy of the Year Awards, today we look at the nominees for best games. 

Disclaimor: I am not a member of the Toy Industry Association and I do not have any inside information.  With 5 nominees in each category, I have a 20% chance of guessing the correct winner for a category. The actual winners will be announced by the Toy Association on Feb 16, 2008.

The Toy Association has nominated Hyper Dash game by Wild Planet Entertainment, Cranium WOW by Cranium, Flippin’ Frogs by Mattel, Rubik’s Revolution by Techno Source, and the Cat in the Hat, I Can Do That by I Can Do That Games.

Now these are all great games but we like the Wild Planet Hyper Dash for its great combination of physical activity with mental challenges.  It is recommended for ages 7 to 12. The reviews on Amazon are nearly all 5 star and the reviews show that not only the kids but whole families are enjoying playing together. The game can be played solo, in pairs or teams. It can be played indoors or out. And Hyper Dash can be found at a very reasonable price.
