Whether it’s a high tech gadget or a family board game, quality time face-to-face, away from a screen, is what memories are made of.
Big kids still want to play and have fun. They want to pit themselves against themselves or against others. Healthy competition through the exercising of skills and strengths such as: general knowledge, the ability to think on one’s feet, number ability, acting, drawing, strategy, quick reflexes and visual skills all have a role to play in building your child’s skills base and confidence.
Most of the products in this category are suitable for teens and adults too. There’s nothing like real human connection!

A fabulous general knowledge game in 8 categories: food and drink, people and places, entertainment, sports, pot luck, art and literature, natural world and history. Something for everyone.
What’s extra-special about the game is that the box becomes the board! This means it’s a compact board game that is easy to take anywhere.

5 Second Rule SA edition | Play Monster
Localised South African edition of the famous 5 Second Rule game where you have to name three things in five seconds according to the category card eg. 3 types of braai meat, 3 SA news or current affairs programmes, 3 SA bands etc.
The unusual spiral ball timer will put you under pressure. If you don’t guess three things correctly in the allotted time, play passes to the next player who may not repeat anything you have said. That’s actually quite hard!
The person who gets 3 things right is the player who gets to move on the board. This is a great adaptation of the original game with new additions such as: Pass On cards (pass on the category to someone else if you don’t like it), Switch Cards (enable you to choose a new category card) and the Danger Zone (if you land here and don’t get it right, you miss your next turn). These make the game far quicker and more exciting than the original. From 3 – 6 players.

Mobi Maths Tiles Game | Play Mobi
Mobi Maths is a fun, fast-paced tile game that works much like Bananagrams (making crossword puzzles with letter tiles). Now you get to apply basic maths skills at speed by make a crossword puzzle made out of numbers and mathematical symbols (equations) such as 10 + 2 = 12.
Use the operations of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. Don’t like a number in your ‘pod’ then exchange it for three more. Finish all the tiles in your pod, shout ‘flip’ and every player has to pick up two new tiles. Play continues until someone uses up all their tiles and there are no more left in the middle of the table. A very portable game in this little whale zip up pouch. Great for building confidence in numbers and mathematical mental agility. I’m not a maths boff but I love this game!

Monopoly Mzansi | Hasbro
We love this local version of Monopoly. The locations on the board were voted by the South African public – from Vilikazi Street to Clifton Beach, uShaka Marine World and more.
Buy or auction properties such as Table Mountain, Nelson Mandela Square, and Kruger National Park etc, when you land on them.We love this old/retro version of the original game including the money and metal player tokens, but there’s a new twist – the addition of the speed dice for a quicker more varied game of changing fortunes.
Mr Monopoly on the speed dice causes havoc by allowing you to buy bonus properties or making you pay extra rent when you least expect to. The bus on the speed dice allows you to strategise your move by using one or both dice combined. In addition, the rules are brilliantly and extremely humorous (a little like Kulula.com humour).

The Sock Game | Spin Master
It’s a fast and furious race to collect the items in this sock-filled family game using the sense of touch. Spin the spinner to select the object you are racing to find. Be the first team to find it and score a point. 11 points wins the game.
You can personalise the sock game by adding your very own items. Two teams with 30 identical game items per set from poker chips to corks, chess pieces and dinkie cars etc. contained in a sock. Add your own items to the socks to customise the game.
There are two alternative game variations to add to the excitement.

A great mixture between Pictionary, 30 Seconds and Charades. A quick and hilarious board game played in teams.
