Our games aim to:
- Appeal to a wide age range
- Be playable in a relatively short time (from 5 to 45 minutes)
- Encourage social interaction with 2 or more players
- Improve problem solving, negotiation and strategic planning skills
- Be enjoyable!
This is a pilot collection; we'll gauge the popularity of these games to see if we should extend availability and increase the variety of games available. Love the collection? Let us know!
