We were very kindly sent this rather unique game to try out
and review. Boy it was fun! But having a nine year old wipe
the floor with you playing this game.. well least said!
It does help to have a very steady hand, so as not
to drop the spinning plates off the plate 'spike' and good speed and
co-ordination to get the plates onto the hidden stands as quickly as
possible. It certainly keeps you on your toes or your knees, depending on
where 'cruel' members of your family may decide to place the stands.
I found myself under my desk several times and even on top of a book case.
Of course having to beat your opponents' time adds to the challenge.
It was a bit of a culture shock for our young son to actually play
a game that didn't involve sitting in front a screen playing computer
type games. However it wasn't long before he got hooked to this game
and now there's no stopping him! It must be the competitive streak in him
as he wants to play this game 24/7. Which is lucky as the game is designed
for one or more players.
It is so refreshing to actually find a really fun game for kids and adults to play
that doesn't involve sitting in front of a screen and this has to be in the top five
of family games to be played this Christmas.

Kids take on a unique spinning,
speeding, time
trial challenge!
Thinking about that
Christmas list, with kids in mind? The
new Spin Mania action game from
Drumond Park (rrp £22.99) provides thrills and
spills a-plenty, and is already popular – not
just with both boys and girls,
but all the family! Against the clock, players ‘spin-up’ three
orange helicopter-like rotary plates one at a time, and transfer them to stands
previously
hidden by their opponents. The kids can make this tricky for mum,
dad, nan or granddad,
by placing the plate stands in hard to reach places, like
under the table. The plates must still
be spinning when the player stops the
clock – then it’s the next person’s turn.
Players need not just
steady hands, but a combination of eagle eyes and a good turn of speed
, as well!
And if they want to make a real party of it, there’s plenty of scope for team
challenges,
too… you’ll soon have them all in a whirl – it’s Christmas
crackers!
And for all my wonderful followers we are hosting a giveaway
for you to own your very own Spin Mania so you too can enjoy
the fun with your children too.
