Showcase Minnesota

I'm in Minnesota, not far from the place where Tonka Trucks were first made, getting ready to head over to KARE TV for the Showcase Minnesota Show! Rob Hudson and I will be playing some fun games, including one of the biggest hits for this year.... Jishaku!



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+

Time's Up: The Fast Paced Guess-Who-I-Am Game from R&R Games. $29.95 for ages 12+. Time's Up asks you to describe as many famous people to your teammates as you can in 30 seconds. That's the first round. Round two has your team guessing the same famous people, but with only one word as the clue. Round three? No words, just charades. Ingenious Fun. $29.95 for ages 12+

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+
