Bag-o-Loot is a new card game that combines strategy, luck, interaction and emotions. During their turn, players can create sets of matching cards called collections, steal collections from other players, or complete a set, making a Bag-O-Loot. But players must be wary- The Bag-O-Loot could be a bluff. Players must outwit or outguess their opponents and try to commit a robbery to end the round. "It is just as fun and engaging for a group of adults to play, a group of kids to play, or a mixed group of adults and kids to play," John Shelley, president of Bag-O-Loot, told TDmonthly.

Analyze Me is filled with questions designed to help players get to know their family and friends a little better. Players ask a question from 1 of 4 categories: Work Life, Private Life, Social Life and Play Life. The others submit a card face-down indicating their answer (either A,B or C). If the player guesses who answered what correctly they win the category card. The first player to collect 1 of each category card wins the game. "Analyze Me is the perfect party game to play with friends and family. It will lead to lively discussions, a few secrets and a little honesty as your opponents become confidants," Nicole Britton at Blue Orange Games told TDmonthly. Launch date: June 2011. ToyDirectory Product ID#: 31972 (added 3/22/2011) . First, a crazy definition is read to the group by the "Wordmeister." Next, players must grab three random word cubes and create a new word to fit the definition. Each new word is read out loud, and the "Wordmeister" picks the best one. The player whose words are chosen the most wins. 3-7 players. Launch date: March 2011. Awards: TDmonthly Top Toy Award, June 2011 — Why it won: Fauxabulary is a great game for large groups. It's similar to Apples to Apples, but creating new words out of different word-parts encourages kids to think creatively, and have fun with letters. It combines the silly group fun of Apples to Apples with the fast-paced scramble to create and find words like Scrabble or Boggle, and is reasonably priced relative to similar party games.

Players form words with the letters in their hand. They add a letter, build a new word, and capture their opponent's word, all in one turn. Players score points and earn 'royalties' for words of all one color. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. "Gameplay allows players to capture cards to build bigger, better words," Lynn Araujo, communications director for U.S. Games Systems, told TDmonthly. Launch date: May 2008.
