Know It or Blow It tests teams’ knowledge of general information and fun facts, such as the three singing chipmunks, the five Great Lakes and Santa’s eight reindeer. For each round, a team captain picks the order in which teammates will respond. If a player knows an answer, great. However, if they're not absolutely, positively sure, they can stop rather than risk their team’s points. "The best part about Patch Products new party game, Know It or Blow It, is that one person doesn’t have to know everything. Instead, teammates work together to know it all," Jessica Wineke, PR coordinator for Patch Products, told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 7, 2009. 5/28/2009 (Price: $25.00; Age: 10 and up) 
Each turn starts with nine cards face up on the board. The object is to move the most cards to the top row on each and every turn. Cards are moved by playing them on top of upper row cards with which they share at least two out of three characteristics — color, creature and quantity. Each turn consists of a quick series of moves, and the order in which players make those moves can determine whether they win or lose. "Simpatico helps players learn to evaluate the consequences of their moves before making them," Dan Levy, president of Funstreet Inc., told TDmonthly. Launch date: June 2009. 5/22/2009 (Price: $16.00; Age: 7 and up)
