Drop It

I played Drop It with three family members over the weekend and we all loved it! We finished the first game and they all immediately wanted to play a second game. It's easy enough to explain to someone who's never played before and it's so fun watching your pieces fall and see if the physics are going to work for you or against you. There is definitely strategy involved figuring out the best position to drop your piece, but since they can fall in unpredictable ways, all players are on a pretty even playing field. According to some other reviews, defective copies are fairly common in Drop It, I was fortunate that my copy was quite well made, my only problem was one of the green square pieces was somewhat defective, but it didn't seem to affect the games we played. The scoring board seemed a little unnecessary, we actually didn't use it, instead we handed out Monopoly money $1 and $5 bills for points and counted out all of our money at the end of the game to see who won. We're excited to play this again, definitely one of my favorite games I've ever purchased.

I bought this to play with youngsters, but it's a really good game. The idea is to drop your shapes and stack them up to gain points, the trick is to not touch the same colour otherwise you will get nothing, there's more to it but this is the basics. Overall this is a good game, it'll entertain folks for a few games at the least and doesn't take long to set up or put away. Components are very good and are not fiddly but the score tracker feels a little unnecessary at times but I appreciate why they've added one. This is a good simple one.

Super Spiel

This game is a TON of fun! The concept is fairly simple and the game plays pretty quickly (around 30 minutes), so we were able to play several games over the course of our game night. While the rules are pretty straightforward, there's a decent amount of strategy involved, so being able to play through an entire game in a short amount of time is perfect: It allowed us to develop tactics and then test them out all in the same night. The components themselves are very sturdy and the bright colors of the wooden shapes are are really appealing. The rules also offer a few different ways to change up the game play, so it never felt stale. There's also an option to play in teams, which is a good choice for larger groups. Highly recommended!

Un juego sencillo, bonito y muy divertido para jugar en familia, las risas nunca faltan!
