Promising review: "My 4-year-old loves building with these base plates. I like that these can be used with Lego too. These base plates keeps them standing for days for creative playing. He can build several playsets and never get bored. I love all the Strictly Briks products, they are well-made with affordable prices." —HappyMama

Promising review: "The kit is great and includes a ton of varieties of beads. This kept my daughter and my niece busy for HOURS making bracelets for the Taylor Swift concert. I ended up buying a second kit because they used all the supplies from the first one. The string is pretty stretchy and made for comfortable bracelets and they made a few rings as well." —Leslie

Promising review: "I gave this as a gift because it is a great game for just two people or a larger group, up to 7 or 8 people, it good for a group of mixed ages, it takes time to play a game but is not a real competitive game but one where you can talk and joke about how the game is going. It is a fun game not a serious one but luck and some skill are needed to win." —Wentwireless

Promising review: "I truly regret that I didn't buy this sooner. I've seen these things around for years and thought it would just be another toy that claimed to be 'educational' that would end in the trash. Three kids later, I gave it a try and my kids loved it and I am pleased with the learning fundamentals of it!!!! We are almost two hours in and I can't pull them away from it." —Jay

Promising review: "The game was MUCH more fun than I planned on it being, but it lasts FOREVER!! We found out about the mercy rule after playing so that may have helped, but it took a while to finish a game! Definitely not like typical Uno in that way. But so, so, so much fun!! Love the additional cards!" —Bethwarmblooded

Promising review: "I remember playing Rack-o when I was a kid on family game night. It's easy to learn and appropriate for young and old. Even children just learning about numbers can play this game. The cards are dealt and you place them in slots in your Rack-o holder. Then you try to get all your cards from smallest to largest numbers. A fast and easy game." —Salemnana

Promising review: "I ordered four of the Jumbo Checker games for a cub scout gathering game. The parents and scouts loved them! I will use them again for a family reunion that is coming up this summer! I also liked that there was a plastic sack to store the rug and checkers in." —checkersany1
