Drumond Park Games

www.drumondpark.com

For Christmas, Drumond Park have a fantastic range of games that children will love to find in their Christmas stocking.

Crazy Claw is a brand-new action packed game of bouncing balls and a grabbing claw that is operated by each child in turn.  From the start of the game, each player is given a Collection Card and the youngest person takes control of the grabber first.  The other players get involved by manipulating the paddles to keep the balls bouncing about within the box, while the Clawmaster does his/her best to capture a ball with the grabber. Once a ball is caught, the player then has the excitement of opening the ball to see whether the circular Toy Token inside matches one of the three toys shown on the Clawmaster’s Collection Card. To win the game a player must collect all three Toy Tokens which match the three pictures on their Collection Card. Until that point, everyone just keeps on taking turns and trying to master those bouncing balls. This is a brilliant game that will be hugely entertaining this Christmas. Crazy Claw is for children aged 5 and up. The RRP is £22.99.

Another great Drumond Park game for the festive season is Stoopido. This is a downright silly game concept that the whole family will love.  The point of this game is to be the only player left without a full face covered with quirky colourful mismatched eyes, ears, noses, hats and foreheads.  Each player wears a pair of red plastic Stoopido Spectacles. If a player rolls the Nose, Ears, Hat or Eyes, players race to touch a corresponding ‘Slap Pad’, the person who gets their first picks a Stoopido face piece for any player. If a player rolls the Glasses then the player to their left choose a face piece of any feature they do not have and add it to their glasses. If any player’s glasses are full then they must resign themselves to sitting out looking a little bit ‘Stoopido’ for the remainder of the game. The fun continues round the table until there is only one player left without a full face of Stoopido Face Pieces, and that player is the winner. This humorous game is perfect for the whole family. The game is for ages 8 and up. The RRP is £17.99.

Dig In! is another game that will be loved by all the family. This is a deceptively challenging game that’s an enthralling test of hand/eye co-ordination-against the clock. Players take it in turns to frantically sift through the bowl with their fingers to try to find the exact six pieces they need to fill their card. The challenge is they must do this in only 15 seconds.  The game includes a vibrant mix of 128 colourful and beautifully modelled pieces all jumbled in the Dig In bowl. There are two levels of game play – either with the grey side of the card where you find the pieces shown, in any colour; or the colour side where you must find the pieces in the exact colours illustrated. This light-hearted, joyful and unique table-top game from Drumond Park looks ridiculously simple – but soon proves to be surprisingly challenging, as well as utterly absorbing. Dig In! is for ages 8 and up. The RRP is £19.99.
