How To Play:
It's show time at the most colorful circus on Earth. But every time an act is about to start, one of the performers is suddenly missing! Help the Ringmaster find which animal and which color is missing from each scene and you collect a card. The player with the most cards at the end of the game is the star of the show!
About This Game:
One of the wonderful things about the circus is that it offers excitement and entertainment for children as well as for adults. On a much smaller scale Big Top does the same. At one level, young players are drawn to the game's colorful theme and simple play structure. On another level, there's something about the visual perception element that offers an appealing challenge to adults. So step right up and enter this five-ring circus of fun for children of all ages!

Granny Apples
How To Play:
Roll them apples! In this fast-action dice game, race against your opponents to count the exact number of apples scattered in play. Watch out for birds, worms and apple pies that take away from the total. Count as quickly as you can and be the first to shout out the answer, but don't make a mistake or else you lose half your apples! The player with the most apples when Granny's basket is full wins.
About This Game:
Like an apple picked from the orchard, Granny Apples is a refreshing treat that is also good for you! Packed inside of this juicy little game are ingredients for learning the difference between halves vs. wholes while honing quick counting and visual identification skills. At the same time, it reinforces the importance of being accurate when doing mental math. And to top it off, since each player takes turns being the judge, the game helps to strengthen listening and attention skills. Smart on the outside. Fun to the core!

Blokus
How to Play: Each player chooses a color and takes a set of 21 pieces. Players
take turns placing pieces on the board, each starting from the corner
of their color. Each new piece must touch at least one other piece
of the same color, but only at the corners! Pieces of the same color
cannot be in contact along an edge. There are no restrictions on how
pieces of different colors may touch each other. The goal is to cover
as much of the board with your pieces as possible. Players who put
down all their pieces earn extra points! Be tactical. Blockade your
opponents while expanding your own territory. The game ends when
all players are blocked from laying down any more of their pieces.
This also includes any players who may have placed all of their pieces
on the board. Scores are tallied. And the winner is the player for
whom the total area of his/her remaining pieces is the lowest!
About the Game: The World's Most-Awarded Visual Strategy Game 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.
