U.S. Game of the Year, Toy Testing Council

Do you get your pawn to the opposite side of the board, or put up a fence to slow your opponent? The choices don't come easily in this well-crafted game of mazes and madness. 10"-square wooden board, 20 fences, 4 wooden pawns. 2 to 4 players.
Stadium Checkers
Plan your every move carefully: it could have an equal and opposite effect on the outcome of the game! Players try to navigate their marbles to the center without advancing their opponents' marbles; the trick is anticipating how each turn rolls out. Based on the classic game of the 1950s. 6.75" x 8.25". 2 to 4 players.
CodaBatik
Take turns putting the fun tangram shapes into the Plexiglas game board. The first player to force his or her opponent to play a piece that sticks out of the top wins!
BlokusBlokus
One of the most-awarded games, including Game of the Year awards in Europe and Japan. Place as many of your 21 geometric shapes on the board as you can, but only the corners of your own pieces may touch.
QuartoGobblet
This game has won more awards than we can fit in this space—and no wonder, with astonishingly easy rules and addictive, fast-moving play. Simply place four pieces in a row to win, “gobbling” your opponent's pieces (or your own!) to advance or block. A wonderful exercise in strategy and logic. 12" board and 24 wooden playing pieces. 2 players.
SenatSkybridge
In this 3-D game of architecture and strategy, stack two- and three-story blocks to build towers, connect them with bridges and then claim them by adding a roof. The player with the highest towers—and most points—wins. Simple rules and quick play make it ideal for everyone in the family. Includes 9.5"-square wooden board and 44 wooden pieces. 2 to 4 players.
Tic Tac Chec
The strategy of chess at a more exciting pace! Be the first to get your bishop, knight, rook and pawn in a row. Games last less than five minutes; fun for beginning and experienced chess players alike. Includes hardwood board and eight playing pieces. About 5" square.
No Stress Chess
Simply draw a card and place your corresponding piece on the board. The cards reinforce each piece's moves and powers, gradually introducing you to the rules of chess in small steps and lucky breaks. When you're ready to play standard chess, just flip over the two-sided game board. 56 action cards and two full sets of chess pieces included. 2 players.
