In an industry, filled with all kinds of shiny new board games with interesting mechanics, Anti-Monopoly, just as its counterpart, suffers from outdated mechanics and a dull design which makes really difficult to stand out. Having said this, if the design was revamped and some of the rules tweaked a bit, Anti-Monopoly could turn out to be a thoroughly fun game. Until then, however, it just doesn’t have what it takes to compete with the newer board games on the market.
Boom Blast Stix does just this by adding an element of surprise to the tension making sure each failure is a memorable one.
“So, how does one improve on the age-old formula of stacking? By cranking up the tension even more, of course.”
There are also two ways in which to beat the game. Firstly, by bankrupting all the other players. Secondly, by being the richest monopolist or competitor when the game ends.
“The game also suffers from the same problem all roll-and-move games suffer from, namely being a luck fest. It’s all too easy for a few bad rolls to cost you valuable properties early on. I would not recommend the game being played with fewer than four, maybe three players, as this slows down the game considerably.”
There are also two ways in which to beat the game. Firstly, by bankrupting all the other players. Secondly, by being the richest monopolist or competitor when the game ends
As mentioned before, the game sees players divided into two groups or factions, the monopolists and the competitors. Each of these factions has their own rules they need to abide by, just like in real life.
I still have fond memories of testing my general knowledge with board games like Trivial Pursuit and realising just how little I know.

“Apparently, a couple who were happily married for 23 years decided to call it quits after the husband accused the wife of being addicted to the tile-based game”
“It’s also much harder than it seems to bankrupt everyone, with most of our playthroughs ending on a mutual decision to stop playing.”
“Apparently, a couple who were happily married for 23 years decided to call it quits after the husband accused the wife of being addicted to the tile-based game”
What could’ve been a trivia slogfest turned out to be a fun and, more importantly, a quick way of flexing your brain muscle.

It’s all about dexterity, patience and being able to cope with the idea that at any moment you could be covered in little yellow sticks.

“Ok so here is the thing, if you don’t like trivia games you will probably not enjoy playing the Wikipedia: The Game About Everything. In essence, the game is your run of the mill trivia game, but what lifts it from trivia mundanity is the inclusion of the Page Views and Disambiguation sections. These help change what could have been just another trivia game into something that feels a bit different and unique. Sure, there have been many games in the past that have implemented these mechanics separately but this board game combines these very successfully.”

Anti-Monopoly has two factions competing against each other, the monopolists and the competitors.
Just as I was about to give up hope on finding a game that would satisfy everyone in the family’s needs, King Pong landed on our doorstep.

“The most expensive Rubik’s Cube was created by Diamond Cutters International in 1995 and is called the Masterpiece Cube. It is made up of 22.5 carats of amethyst, 34 carats of emeralds and 34 carats of rubies, all set in 18-carat gold. It’s valued at $1.5m.”. You could say it is worth $114.47 *cubed*.

I chose this one because, Jared, it’s not relevant to only the new (and dull) anti-monopoly, but also this pretty little thing called life. Either you win by making others bankrupt, or you win by being the richest.
Adulthood in a nut shell.
P.S: The pawns are dull, because when we kids, everything was fun. You could be a boat, a dog or a shoe. Nobody would bat an eye. Now you’re an adult, you pretend to be a hat, everybody loses their minds.
So, be a boring pawn.

Each round in Wikipedia the board game has players trying to answer a set of three questions indicated on a card. It basically boils down to players competing in three different types of games each round.
Rummikub is actually considered a really fun family tabletop that’s had an avid following since its invention by Ephraim Hertzano in the ’70s.
Anti-Monopoly is a game that has some potential and I did find myself enjoying the game and its interesting take on the Monopoly mechanics.

There’s a general misconception that being able to solve a cube is really hard

“Now as mentioned, the aim of King Pong is to bounce your assigned ping pong balls through one of the holes in the cube hoping the balls come out into one of your opponent’s trays. “

Generally, games involving math and numbers can be totally ho-hum. However, Rummikub, a game that incorporates elements of Chess, Dominoes, Rummy, and Mah-Jong, sells 3 million units a year globally in 54 countries worldwide – and not just to old age homes.

These days it isn’t hard to find family games that are fun and challenging for both kids and adults. That said, there is something classic and cool about Rummikub. In an age where video games are all the rage, perhaps sitting down with the family and actually enjoying a more intermite gaming experience is necessary.
Haha too funny, this definately peaks my interest :) …… “here are also two ways in which to beat the game. Firstly, by bankrupting all the other players. Secondly, by being the richest monopolist or competitor when the game ends”
Rummikub is just awesome and the whole family love it .

There is no denying just how much fun those Marvel films are. And if you ever wanted to feel like Ant-Man/Giant-Man, Prima Toys might just give you a chance.
The game board consists of a question mark-shaped path (what else) whereupon players will be moving their player tokens in hopes of being the first to move from start to finish.

As a quick, frantic and fun game that balances both dexterity and luck, King Pong would make a great addition to any collection of party games.
There is no denying just how much fun those Marvel films are. And if you ever wanted to feel like Ant-Man/Giant-Man, Prima Toys might just give you a chance. With their new line of The World’s Smallest toys (miniature replicas of some of the world’s biggest and most classic toys), you’ll feel like a giant holding a tiny Magic 8 Ball or Rubik’s Cube in your hand. Yes, it’s a bit like playing a game of Honey! I Shrunk The Toys.
“Yes, Rummikub is a lot like Notorious B.I.G. – both known for their loose, intense, and easy but complex flow.”
“There are also two ways in which to beat the game. Firstly, by bankrupting all the other players. Secondly, by being the richest monopolist or competitor when the game ends.”
“Now while Anti-Monopoly may share quite a few elements with its more well-known counterpart, these two board games are quite different”
Rummikub has won six ‘game of the year’ awards since its conception.
“These days it isn’t hard to find family games that are fun and challenging for both kids and adults. That said, there is something classic and cool about Rummikub. ”
There’s a cartoon based on the famous cube. AMC aired 13 episodes of Rubik, the Amazing Cube on Saturday mornings in 1983. The colourful 3D puzzle was given a face and legs. It also had magical abilities.

“Firstly, everyone gets to throw their ping pong balls at the same time. So not only do you have to carefully plan your throw, you also need to take into account where your opponents might be aiming, which may include your head.” – King Pong

While Boom Blast Stix is a game that focuses on one thing, stacking, it does this really well. You won’t be spending hours playing it but, as a quick fix or as a filler game in-between longer gaming bouts, it does a great job.”
Over the years, board games have evolved from simple answer and question fests into complicated and involved beasts with various mechanics and hordes of little plastic or wooden pieces. Aity of the board games of days gone by. I still have fond memories of testing my general knowledge with board games like Trivial Pursuit and realising just how little I know. So, when I received 20 Questions I was excited to dive into the world of trivia once again, for better or worse.

You’ve all probably played any one of the many stacking games out there; you know the kind, stack one wooden block on another until the stack inevitably falls over. It’s a very basic principle and one that proves that even the simple task of carefully stacking something can be entertaining. What most of these stacking games thrive on is the tension created when placing (or removing) a new block. It’s this tension that makes playing these deceptively simple games so much fun. So, how does one improve on the age-old formula of stacking? By cranking up the tension even more, of course. Boom Blast Stix does just this by adding an element of surprise to the tension making sure each failure is a memorable one.

Just as I was about to give up hope on finding a game that would satisfy everyone in the family’s needs, King Pong landed on our doorstep. What initially looked like an unassuming simplistic game turned out to be so much more and would keep me and my family entertained for days as we tried to outwit and out throw each other.”

That said, it does fall into the trap most trivia games tend to fall into, namely that some answers can be difficult to guess, depending on your general knowledge.
Where trivia games tend to be overly long and drawn out, a game of 20 Questions plays surprisingly quick, even with the full complement of 7 players.

Many of us, no matter our age, are familiar with a little board game called Monopoly. It’s a board game that has taught many young kids about money and the dangers of not having any. While Monopoly is considered one of the most beloved board games out there, there are those who believe that the game’s focus on monopolies is poisoning young minds and that teaching them about the continual battle between large empires and small businesses are far more important. Enter Anti-Monopoly.
“Unfortunately, while these different rule sets do make the game more interesting and, in some aspects, more realistic, I did notice that there were times when it felt unbalanced.”

While the different rules for each faction try to level the playing field, if not approached correctly, it’s a bit too easy for the monopolists to start widening the cash gap and taking the lead, especially if they get hold of the transport companies.
“These days it isn’t hard to find family games that are fun and challenging for both kids and adults. That said, there is something classic and cool about Rummikub. In an age where video games are all the rage, perhaps sitting down with the family and actually enjoying a more intermite gaming experience is necessary.”
King Pong, the crazy ball bouncing game; where the first person to bounce all of their balls into their opponent’s tray wins. Who will be the next King Pong champion?
Bounce it high or bounce it low this game tests your accuracy and speed, as you attempt to bounce your balls one by one through the open window or down the funnel at the top. Empty your tray and you get to shut the door claiming defeat on your rivals.
outwitting your opponents with cool strategy and sharp moves wins you the game

There are 2 ways in which to beat the game.1st bankrupting all the other players. 2nd by being the richest Monopolist or competitor when the game ends.

Boom Blast Stix does just this by adding an element of surprise to the tension making sure each failure is a memorable one.

“King Pong landed on our doorstep. What initially looked like an unassuming simplistic game turned out to be so much more and would keep me and my family entertained for days as we tried to outwit and out throw each other.”

I enjoyed 20 Questions a lot more than I anticipated. It’s a simplistic and quick game that makes showing off your general knowledge fun. Sure, it won’t convert those that tend to stay away from these types of board games. However, if you like trivia games and having fun with a group of friends, then you should give it a try.
“Overall, I enjoyed 20 Questions a lot more than I anticipated. It’s a simplistic and quick game that makes showing off your general knowledge fun.” 20 Questions
The game also suffers from the same problem all roll-and-move games suffer from, namely being a luck fest.
“The game does a great job of bringing the visual theme and style of the website across considering that the website itself doesn’t have a colourful or great design, to begin with. Unfortunately, it does mean that the game looks especially dull and bland compared to some of the other trivia games out there.”
“if the design was revamped and some of the rules tweaked a bit, Anti-Monopoly could turn out to be a thoroughly fun game.”
I would KILL for Rummikub (AKA NOTORIOUS B.I.G.!! – http://www.fortressofsolitude.co.za/rummikub/) and I would love to see the ‘twist’. My girl would absolutely love Boom Blast Stix. And even though I’m 40, I still want a Magic 8 Ball like in the movies ;) Fingers crossed!
“What’s It About?
King Pong is a deceptively simple game.
Players are faced with a strange transparent box with a configuration of pyramid shapes inside. It does actually look like something you would find in a sci-fi film. Around the box are four trays (which we’ll get to in a bit)”
“What could’ve been a trivia slogfest turned out to be a fun and, more importantly, a quick way of flexing your brain muscle.”
“As a four-player game, it’s meant to bring friends and family together on game night, the exception being the Turkish family mentioned above.”
3,2,1…BOOM!!!? #BoomBlastStix is the only explosive stacking game featuring sensitive, interlocking springs that when stacked together, can go off at any time. Players can test their mental & physical skills and ultimately, their nerves! Does this get your vote for #PrimaTopToys? It definitely gets ours ? #PrimaToys
All-in-all, it took a few minutes to construct the sci-fi inspired box of colourful plastic
“Yes, Rummikub is a lot like Notorious B.I.G. – both known for their loose, intense, and easy but complex flow.”
“Although Anti-Monopoly should be commended for approaching the Monopoly concept from a different angle (some would say a more realistic one), there are a few issues with the game.”
— Anti-Monopoly review
Still wouldn’t mind giving it a try though
Now, this might sound like I’m reading to much into the game, but I found that kids can learn valuable life lessons by just having fun, no matter how simple the game might seem. Who would’ve thought that a game called King Pong would be able to help me teach my kids about life?
Kids do so enjoy playing games with their parents. Special bonding time :)
In an industry, filled with all kinds of shiny new board games with interesting mechanics, Anti-Monopoly, just as its counterpart, suffers from outdated mechanics and a dull design which makes really difficult to stand out.
While Monopoly is considered one of the most beloved board games out there, there are those who believe that the game’s focus on monopolies is poisoning young minds and that teaching them about the continual battle between large empires and small businesses are far more important. Enter Anti-Monopoly.

With technology seeping into our everyday lives and that of our kids Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality toys have become very popular over the years. Prima will be releasing a few toy ranges that make use of these state of the art technologies.

As mentioned, King Pong is, in essence, a simplistic game with few pieces, but it’s because of this simplicity that the game shines

Monopoly. It’s a board game that has taught many young kids about money and the dangers of not having any. And I also love boom blastix unload lock and stack can you handle the fun!
There is little to no downtime between turns, especially since victory is dependent on guessing the correct answer as quickly as possible.
THIS IS AWESOME
“Just as I was about to give up hope on finding a game that would satisfy everyone in the family’s needs, King Pong landed on our doorstep.” LOVE LOVE LOVE
“If you are looking for a trivia game that combines the familiar and isn’t too difficult then give this board game a try” .(Wikipedia review)
Where good old Monopoly focused on teaching you about managing your cash flow and about eventually becoming a monopoly in order to be victorious, Anti-Monopoly, as the name suggests, turns this concept on its head

Yes, Rummikub is alot like Notorious B.I.G.
Both known for their loose,intense, and easy but complex flow?
Boom Blast Stix: While Boom Blast Stix is a game that focuses on one thing, stacking, it does this really well. You won’t be spending hours playing it but, as a quick fix or as a filler game in-between longer gaming bouts, it does a great job.
There are also two ways in which to beat the game. Firstly, by bankrupting all the other players. Secondly, by being the richest monopolist or competitor when the game ends.
Now while Anti-Monopoly may share quite a few elements with its more well-known counterpart, these two board games are quite different. Where good old Monopoly focused on teaching you about managing your cash flow and about eventually becoming a monopoly in order to be victorious, Anti-Monopoly, as the name suggests, turns this concept on its head. Instead, Anti-Monopoly has two factions competing against each other, the monopolists and the competitors.

“The game also suffers from the same problem all roll-and-move games suffer from, namely being a luck fest. It’s all too easy for a few bad rolls to cost you valuable properties early on. I would not recommend the game being played with fewer than four, maybe three players, as this slows down the game considerably”

“There’s a general misconception that being able to solve a cube is really hard, but anyone can learn how to solve it,” the Australian champion said. “For the most part, pretty much everyone who is doing these competitions has learned how to solve it off an Internet tutorial or off YouTube.”
And while I enjoy playing new and shiny board games just as much as the next person, there is something to be said about the simplicity of the board games of days gone by.

It’s so true when you stated “It’s also much harder than it seems to bankrupt everyone, with most of our playthroughs ending on a mutual decision to stop playing.”, when reviewing the Anti-Monopoly board game. My competitive family and I would really love to win this days of fun filled package.
