“This bowling set is a great retro-inspired game for kids of all ages. The two-player set comprises
10 wooden skittles and two wooden balls and is a simple, yet fun
activity to play indoors and out. The aim of this bowling game is to
knock all the skittles down in as few attempts as possible. Never mind
the computer consoles, it’s all about tradition with this one.”

“You can’t beat an old classic and snakes and ladders is one of
them, especially if the board has double-sided technology with the
alternative game of ludo on the back! Both games are great fun
with easy to follow instructions for the whole family. Fantastic for
kids of all ages.”

Pass the Bomb, a previous winner of the Daily Telegraph Game of the Year Award, is a best seller for
Gibsons, and now has updated packaging. The aim is to construct words which include letters on cards
before the bomb goes off. Players have between 10 seconds and a minute before it explodes, creating
a race against time to come up with an answer and quickly pass it onto the next player. This process
continues until the bomb explodes in the hands of an unlucky player who then has to keep their card.
The player with the fewest cards at the end wins.

“I played the game with my husband, daughter and two grandchildren aged 11 and 15. Passing the bomb
and shouting out the words – some of which my grandson had made up – was great fun. A very quick game
taking around 10-15 minutes to play in all. Definitely a game for teenagers to show off their knowledge of big
words as we found with my granddaughter! We will certainly be playing this game again at family gatherings.”

“More compact that the average portable air hockey table, this game is ideal
for parties and will certainly be a welcome addition to a Christmas gathering.
Compact yet solid, the table allows competitors to try their hand at a popular
game while being easily moved from room to room. The game is fast and
furious, and definitely brought out the competitive spirit in all who played it.
Despite being small, it lived up to expectations and provided hours of fun. A
worthwhile addition to the games cupboard.”
