| Publisher Description: No Boards No Boredom Remember the games you used to play in the car as a kid? You'd enjoy playing them again, but you can't quite remember all the rules, and besides, the games were awfully easy. Well, Gladstone's Games to Go has come to the rescue. With updated classics and challenging original games, Gladstone's Games to Go delivers antidotes to boredom and entertaining ways to spend down-time, whether you're in transit, on vacation, or wiling away an afternoon at a cafe. You can play word games (like Grandmother's House, Six Degrees, and Chain Reaction), compete in coin contests (like Molecular Flip and Sliders), master strategy with dot games (like Dots and Boxes and Sprouts), and more. With little to no additional equipment required (pens and paper or a few coins will do the trick), the games are totally portable--and totally playable. All the games are for two or more players (some could even be played solo), and they appeal to both left- and right-brained gamers. Start playing today |
