Review Family Games batik classic / Family Games 1229:Easy to learn and play, Batik moves very quickly. Several rounds are completed for a full match. Place the geometric pieces inside the clear playing board. Players take turns trying to keep all their pieces inside the board-not as easy as the board gets crowded. So, pick your pieces carefully. This is a game for two players and very popular with young teens. The BATIK board is a vertical, transparent picture frame. Both visual and planning skills are put into play as irregular-shaped pieces are dropped into a slot. They may land upside, downside, or on their side. If the piece catches on another one and sticks out above the board's edge, the player loses the game. [+]Made with quality wooden pieces. It doesn't take too long before things pile up in this Parents' Choice Gold Award winner. Two players take turns slipping light or dark wooden polygons into a clear, upright game board. The object is to force the opponent to drop a piece that sticks out above the board-no fair trying to push a piece back down! But it isn't always easy to place the thin, lightweight tiles successfully in the frame. As the various squares, triangles, and odd-shaped playing pieces drop upon each other in the nearly 7-inch frame, they're prone to slipping into unexpected positions. It all adds to the surprising fun and challenge of the game. At the end of each round, the losing piece is removed from the losing player's set; the first person to forfeit a turn due to a lack of pieces loses the match. -Liane Thomas.

Review Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game / Mattel:Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game Fans of the amazing exploits of a certain literary phenomenon and wizardry student are bound to go whole-Hogwarts for the Harry Potter Trivia Game. This clever and challenging Q&A contest mixes a Slytherin scoop of Peeves the Poltergeist with the mechanics of Trivial Pursuit. As they round the circular track, players answer questions in five categories (one Places query asks, "What lies behind the 'Leaky Cauldron'?"), collect various Charms cards, avoid Curses played by opponents, and then return to their Houses to answer a final question. It's a cool game, definitely designed for hardcore Harry fans, but it has a couple of nice features for those who wouldn't know a Ravenclaw from a Hufflepuff. There are multiple-choice questions (though players score extra Charms if they answer without this option), and there's a Spell card that allows you to "think like Hermione. " Play this card, and you get to answer another player's question. -Tony Mason.
