[Ad – Gifted Products] We often play games that are at least four player, but from time to time, it’s nice to have a little two player game! One early morning during the summer holidays, Robin had woken up far before everyone else. So, we decided to play Battle Flips. This is a very simple two-player word game that feels extremely well designed.
[Ad – Gifted Products] We are quite a big video game household, partially, I feel, because Dann and I both work in games. Minecraft feels like a game literally everyone in the world has played anyway, and it’s a game that we’ve played as a family quite a few times. Kai use to have a Minecraft themed room, we’ve played Minecraft board games and even read Minecraft books. So, when we heard about the Thinkfun Minecraft Cave Adventure toy, we were very interested in seeing how Robin faired with it, as she’s a big toy lover.

We’ve chased code drops and previously purchased some of the older series of these mystery boxes, so Robin was very excited to hear about the Dress to Impress Mystery Models Series 3 blind boxes, which have a ton of fun outfits for you to open and discover.
[Ad – Gifted Products] Fidgets have been a popular sub-genre of toys for quite some time now, and we’ve got so, so many of them! Yet, every single year, we see more and more coming out. Robin got some keyboard-style clicking fidgets at MCM Comic Con earlier this year and some Clickeez at Toy Fair, so was excited to discover the Clickeez Clickable Bubble Pops.
[Ad – Gifted Products] I feel like everyone has heard of and has played Pac Man. It’s one of those retro games that have been around for what feels like a lifetime! Pac Man is a simple game – there are a bunch of dots on the screen, inside a sort of maze. There are ghosts stuck in the middle, that make their way out and move around, sometimes chasing you, so that they can eat you! As Pac Man, you need to eat up all of the dots around the screen, including blinking dots that allow you to eat the ghosts for a few moments after you’ve eaten one, before they go back to normal ghosts or, in the case of being eaten, respawn. Sometimes fruit appears that you can eat for extra points. The Pac Man Plug and Play allows you to play this simple game on your TV, just by plugging in a HDMI-drive stick and a cable.
