At Toy Fair this year, Stefanie and I found a lot of great new products that we are adding to GIFT HERO.  One of my favorites is Yamslam by Blue Orange Games. The folks at Blue Orange really love their games – and at Toy Fair they invite you to play their games – literally. So I spent a decent amount of time playing their games (and enjoying myself!)

Not satisfied with that, when my friends at Blue Orange heard that I had an 8 year old son, they insisted that I take Yamslam home with me for him to try out – with spectacular results.

Josh loves Yamslam – and commented to me that it was “kind of  like Yahtzee only better”. He loves that he can play it by himself or with a friend. Very few games are designed this way – most are either single player or for two or more players. He told me we “definitely” need to sell it on GIFT HERO.  And now we do.

I think that Yamslam is going to be our new “go to” birthday gift for Josh’s 8 and 9 year old buddies.
