Bring the family together with this educational board game.

Parents and teachers.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Safari Quest is both fun and educational. Take turns with your competitors rolling dice to move around the game board. The idea is to collect photos of seven different animals in the African savanna and be the first one across the finish line. Along the way you’ll learn interesting facts, come across beautiful illustrations, and earn fun bonuses. Safari Quest includes the option to play against the computer or with a group of two or four players.

You love board games. This one is perfect for children, but also challenging for adults.

You don’t have a group to play with. The single player option is fine, but it’s not nearly as engaging as playing with others.

Why we picked this?

Unleash your inner demon with the fiendishly fun Spite & Malice. Your goal is to be the first person to play all of the cards from your own pile by placing them on the middle piles in numerical order. Don’t worry about the suits of the cards because in Spite & Malice they don’t mean a thing. Just remember that the best way to beat your opponent is to block them from ever playing their cards. The game includes a single player mode, and online real-time and turn-based multiplayer.

You enjoy good multiplayer card games. It’s easy to learn and a total blast to play with friends.

You’re not fond of playing against other people. Sure, it can be played alone, but it’s just not nearly as fun.
