Bananagrams - Cobra Paw - Board Game & Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza - Card Game

Product Information

It is a frantic game which tests reactions, dexterity with a little bit of memory too. I do find myself getting in a zen-like state as I try and see all the stones rather than flitting from tile to tile. That’s my inner ninja trying to escape. I’m beginning to think I am close to mastering the Cobra Paw!

Slide Quest also requires a surprising amount of communication between players, with everyone needing to occasionally stop what they’re doing and discuss who needs to do what next. All this collaboration makes for a very effective family bonding exercise and could do a lot to bring everyone together - if only for an hour or so.Cobra Paw is the new tile snatching dexterity game by Bananagrams which pits 2 to 6 opponents against each other in a mad, tile grabbing frenzy. Each turn, two dice are rolled and these dice determine which tile the players are trying to capture. The person that captures it becomes the next dice roller and things continue in this fashion until one player has collected a certain number of tiles. Components and Setup Defeat dark wizards, learn ancient magic and pass exams in this excellent licensed game Hogwarts Battle rises above other licensed tie-in games to become something truly special.

Unlike some of its contemporaries Machi Koro keeps gameplay and decision-making simple, with players looking to complete landmarks and buildings by rolling dice and spending money. On each player’s turn they’ll choose to roll either one or two dice with the aim to score a total that matches the number attached to one of their buildings, which will then activate that building’s effect and benefit its owner. However, players will have to be cautious about how many dice they choose, as any numbers rolled also apply to their competitors’ buildings as well. As player cities grow to include more and more buildings the risk of rolling an opponent’s number becomes greater. A rather unconventional co-op board game for one to eight players, Magic Maze requires its participants to work together whilst avoiding being too loose with information, as everyone is only allowed to communicate for very short periods of time whilst playing. Each player has access to a single unique action whether that be moving in a certain direction, accessing a new area or using a particular square, but you aren’t limited to controlling a single character. This means that players are welcome to apply their individual action to any number of heroes - however, they’ll still need to be careful to collaborate as every character has a favorite shop to visit, and all heists need to be executed simultaneously if our heroes want to get out before the store guards take notice.

The game’s fast playing time and fantastic components are only let down by the fact the dominos and dice come in a box that is both overly big and pretty rubbish, with an egg box-style insert. In a nice fabric bag or the right compact travel case, this could be an essential travel game for a frantic few minutes. For us, it’s worth the extra bit of effort. It is inevitable that players will strike at the wrong stone after the dice have been rolled. A player who does so is shamed, and cannot claim a stone on this turn.
