Toy BoardersCategory: Collectibles Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 33825Toy Boarders are made just like the toy soldiers that have been around for decades, but why promote war to kids when you now can promote a positive image of fun and exercise with these authentic skateboarders? They are hand designed and molded with remarkable attention to detail and style. Launch date: 2012. 3/6/2012 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] FandoobleMSRP: $14.95Age: 6 and upCategory: General Games Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 32380Fandooble is a party game filled with dragons, knights, wizards… and a scoundrel named Fandooble. Opponents must race against one another to steal all of the gold from the fearsome dragon and possibly some of the other players. Taking turns, players roll the four dice, pushing their luck to see how much gold they can get. Rolling as often as they want, taking treasure from the dragon or their friends and foes alike, it’s the luck of the dice- but if a player rolls three dragons, they are eliminated. Three of the dice have treasure and dragons. The treasure gets players gold; the dragons foil their spoils. Three dragons rolled and a players' stash goes back to the dragon’s pile; if those dragons are red, the player loses the stash from their turn and all the gold in their bank. The other die has wizards and knights to help along the way. It also has the rascally scoundrel Fandooble; he’ll steal players' hard stolen gold and give it to someone else. Fandooble is for 2-6 players, and game time last from 10-30 minutes. "Easy to learn, simple to take with you on the go," Monica Lucas, VP of Operations at Mindtwister USA, told TDmonthly. 5/27/2011 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] Seven Card SamuraiMSRP: $19.95Age: 6 and upCategory: Card Games Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 26643A family card game set in feudal Japan during the era of the Samurai which depends on skill, strategy and planning.
