BLOKUS

Blokus is a maddeningly simple game! The basic strategy is to place all your tiles on the game board while trying to block your opponents from placing their tiles. The rules are simple: blue goes first, followed by yellow, then red and finally green. The first player (blue) places any piece of their choice in it's home corner. Each color plays in turn. Two pieces of the same color must touch at their corners, but they cannot touch along their sides. When there is no piece left of a color that can be played, that color is considered "abandoned". When all the colors  are abandoned, the winner is the person (or team) with the highest score.  Players score one point for each square covered, 15 bonus points if they manage to use all their tiles, and 5 more points if the last piece played is the single square.

FARMING GAME KIDS

Farming Game Kids is an adaptation of the award winning classic family boardgame 'The Farming Game'. It was created by the second generation of the Farming Game family for their own growning sprouts, some as young as three years old - to give them a chance to try their luck in farming. The Farming Game Kids gameboard is a storytale working farm, the fields teaming with activity and popping with produce. Kids 'harvest' produce to sell at their fruit stand.
For the youngest kids, the player who gets to the fruit stand with the most produce wins! Older kids can play level 2 or 3. They collect and sell their produce out of the fruit stand. The market price is determined by the roll of the dice, a rate chart, and a lot of laughs!
FENCED IN

Fenced In is a totally clever version of the classic "Squares" game played on paper. Each player holds all the chips for a particular farm animal. Take turns placing short sections of plastic fence anywhere on the grooved gameboard grid. Whenever you provide the final piece to form a square "pen," mark your ownership by putting your animal inside. Every time you complete a pen, you take another turn--and keep taking turns until you can't make another pen. Finish two pens at the same time and claim them both. But be careful not to place the third side of a square, or the other animals will love you! The first player to fence in all their animals wins the game.
