Before Jenga hit the markets in 1983, the Ideal Corporation made their own tower building game. In 1967 Ideal released Careful The Toppling Tower Game. With its’ huge tower, Careful had the potential to be a great game. Unfortunately due to some issues with the components, the game never reaches the heights that it could have.
Looking at the box, Ladder Splatter doesn’t look like much. It looks like a cheap knock off of other balancing games like Jenga. While it has its’ own issues, Ladder Splatter was better than I expected.
Magna Force has a cool concept which ultimately doesn’t work as well as I hoped.

As a child I vaguely remember playing the game of Avalanche. After recently finding a copy of the game, I decided to try the game once again. After giving the game a try, I would say that Avalanche is a very solid but unspectacular game.
Jacks Straws is a game which combines the game of Pick Up Sticks with a grab bag of random objects. While I had some fun playing the game, it is far from perfect.
Electronic Hyper Slide is an electronic game created by Hasbro in 2007. Electronic Hyper Slide is a collection of five games that tries to take a modern approach to Simon Says, Simon, and Mastermind. While Electronic Hyper Slide might get boring during extended play, it works well as a quick pick up and play game.
