Internationally Known Game Designer Likes TF!
I have a serious soft spot for this game even though I may never win a game of it. By changing couple of rules and adding a few elegant special cards, Martin Uniacke has taken a ho-hum kid's game and turned into a challenging, and surprisingly social game.There is a memory element which is why I'll never win, but that is offset somewhat by the special cards.The artwork,done by a professed amateur, is charming.

GO! SHOPPING: PART TWO
Grab a board game and let good times roll
By Eric Gwinn
Tribune staff reporter
Published November 30, 2006
"Do people still play board games?"
As gadget adviser, I get that question every now and then. The answer is always, "Yup, and they're more fun than ever."
In the last five years, games have become more colorful, better made and more attractively packaged. All of that adds to the desire to pull them out again and again--but only if they're fun. Strategy games, which involve less luck and more thinking than the typical trivia and roll-a-die-and-move games, lead the resurgence. Party games are back, too, with friends sharing the kind of deep belly laugh that brushed aluminum gadgets just can't inspire.
So unplug the TV, shut off the iPod and grab the kids. We tested a number of games to come up with 10 cool board games you might not have heard of that will have families and friends laughing, thinking and spending more time together.
Some games can be found at select Barnes & Noble bookstores. All can be ordered online.
Twisted Fish
3-6 players (ages 10+)
$10

Object: This variation on the card game Go Fish enthralled our adult playtesters for nearly an hour, so it's a great game for families. Win by collecting five fish of the same type and color from your opponents. Play one of eight Zinger cards to prevent others from taking your card, look at an opponent's cards or other rule-bending tricks. The game's color, humor and Zingers make it a worthy alternative to the familiar card game.

November 7, 2006: McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds WINS the coveted iParenting Media Award for Best Products in 2006
We've Done It Again!
November 7, 2006
We have just captured the 2006 iParenting Media Award in the Greatest Products in 2006, Toys & Games category.
"Evanston, IL - iParenting Media Awards announces the winners of our Greatest Products of 2006 Call for Entry, during which we evaluated items ranging from spectacular toys, educational books and great music to juvenile product gadgets, highly interactive Web sites and stimulating video games and software. All of the items were thoroughly evaluated by experienced reviewers to determine which ones exceeded the standards to earn an award.
The iParenting Media Awards program is so thorough it has attained ISO 9001:2000 Certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO is the world's largest developer of standardization regulations, and ISO 9001:2000 is an internationally recognized standard of quality assurance. Only a fraction of the companies that attempt this certification achieve it, and the iParenting Media Awards program is the only product testing service with an awards program in our industry that has the certification.
'iParenting is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2006 as a leader in providing parents with the best information. We enjoy evaluating products that are targeted to both children and parents," says Alvin All, Chief Executive Officer of iParenting Media. "There are so many choices to make this holiday season, but it's good to know we are making a difference in helping consumers decide which ones are best for their families. We evaluated thousands of items in our Greatest Products Call for Entry, but only the ones that exceeded the high evaluation standards we set earned the iParenting Media Award.'
To be considered for an award, each company submitted product samples, which were then precisely matched within iParenting's database of hundreds of experienced reviewers using iParenting's state-of-the-art technology. An expert, a group setting with mulitple users and a family reviewed the products and submitted a thorough evaluation of each item. Results were compiled and submitted to the iParenting Media Executive Committee for final approval. The end result of this comprehensive process is a list of award-winning products parents can feel confident in purchasing for their family."
