Peanuts Surprise Slides, Marvel Dominoes and Mix Up! Fix Up!
I enjoy playing board games with my grandson,
especially games by Wonder Forge featuring popular characters. And I always appreciate receiving a surprise
package of games to check out and review from Wonder Forge. Today, Wonder Forge is also sponsoring a
giveaway of the Peanuts Surprise Slides Game.
Details of the giveaway are at the end of the post.
Here is my review of the three games I received:
Peanuts Surprise Slides Game
This game can drive you crazy (but isn’t that part of
the fun?) because it keeps changing. The
board has four areas – one for each season that provide shortcut possibilities
for each player. But… it is a big but…if
when you spin, you land on a particular figure you can mix up the season blocks
and change where the shortcut paths are.
Therefore there are always new opportunities to move ahead and also new
chances to have them disappear. This
type of game is great for kids – and adults – who like that kind of fast paced
change – now you have it, now you don’t.
The “paths” are called “slides”, hence the name of the game. This game gave my six year old grandson the
giggles. The box says ages 3+ but I think
it is a little too sophisticated for a three year old and would save it for the
5+ group.
Personally, I love the Peanuts
theme. It is unisex (Yeah!!), features
colorful, playful seasonal graphics (Yeah!) and most of all there are NO
weapons (Double yeah!!!). Just pure
fun. Enjoy.
Marvel Dominoes Games
This simple classic dominoes game can be enjoyed by 3 year olds
as well as 8 year olds. It is easy to
play – you just need to match the pictures of the cards on the board with one
in your hand. Younger kids can easily
participate and older kids will enjoy matching up their favorite characters.

Mix Up! Fix Up! Featuring Doc
McStuffins

I don’t think most three year olds will be
able to handle this game independently, but perhaps the dedicated Doc McStuffins fans among
them will do just fine. This looks like
a good game to play in teams with an adult and small child teaming up. This game will develop deduction skills (important when serious school begins) while
enjoying being the Doc.
