Arizona Midday

This morning I'm in Phoenix to play some great games with Jan Atri at Arizona Midday. Why on earth would she want a freakishly tall guy on her show? It's the games I bring, silly.

Here's the line up of fun we'll be playing.

Last Word: The Uproarious Race to Have the Final Say from Buffalo Games. Be the first Player to advance to the Finish by creatively connecting Subjects and Letters, while racing a Random-Interval Timer and the other Players, for example, Subject: "Vegetables"... Letter: "C". Players yell out... Carrots, Cucumbers, Corn, Cauliflower, 'tick-tick' ... The player with the Last Word before the timer sounds advances. $19.95 for ages 10+.

Jishaku: The Game of Magnetic Action from RSV Productions. Carefully place all your magnets before your opponent, but be careful! The magnetic force make the magnets AND YOU, jump! Suspenseful fun at its best. In my 20 years in the industry, I've never seen a strategy game that plays like a party game. Great fun! $19.95 for ages 8+

Blurt!: The Uproarious Word Race Game from Educational Insights. Players hear simple descriptions to common words and must be first to blurt out answers before anyone else. So simple, yet so silly. Will your mouth keep up with your mind? I designed Blurt for kids, but it's become a hit with adults as a party game! $29.95 for ages 7+.

LCR: Left Center Right Dice Game 25th Anniversary Game by George & Company. It's a fun, fast paced dice game for all ages. Includes 3 specialty marked dice, 24 large playing chips, and a dice cup, all in a 25th Anniversary, embossed tin box. Players roll the dice which indicate where the players chips go. The last player with chips is the winner and wins the center pot. Suggested retail $14.95 for ages 5+
