BLUE ORANGE GAMES Top That, from Blue Orange Games, is a problem-solving matching game. Each player gets a red cup, an orange tube, a green coin, a white rabbit, and a black top hat. One player flips a challenge card, and then players race to stack their objects in a single pile following three simple rules: Objects printed in color must be visible on the stack, objects printed in grey must be hidden inside objects in the stack, and objects surrounded by stars must be kept empty. The first player to correctly stack his or her objects wins the challenge card. The game is designed for two to four players ages 7 and up. Kaboom is a fast-paced dexterity game designed for two to five players ages 6 and up. In the game, players take turns playing as the Master Builder, who needs to build as many wooden towers as possible. Meanwhile, all of the others play as Saboteurs, who try to knock down the builder’s towers by launching their blocks from the catapult. Both new games help develop kids’ processing speed, fine motor skills, visual perception, focus and attention, and problem-solving skills.
