Christmas Gift Idea - Board Games Not Everyone Has

If you look at the game shelves and closets in most households, you'll see the same thing: A couple of versions of Monopoly, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Sorry!, a dusy box of Trivial Pursuit that never gets played with, an old deck of UNO cards... everyone has the standard game basics. So this Christmas, when you're thinking about gifts to give a family, why not go for something a bit more unusual?

Here are some of Dealomite's top board games that aren't in every family's game closet! Check out our favorite lesser-known games.

Pit Card Game

Pit is a "Corner the Market" card game. Shout your deal and trade your cards to "corner" the market. Be the first to get all the cards of one commodity, slap the "Corner!" board and you'll win the hand. You'll feel like a trader in the pits of the exchange! Beware of the Bear and take your chances with the Bull with Pit.

Funlglish

Can you get the other players to guess the word Kangaroo? You can't talk or act but you can find, grab and play just the right clues from 120 descriptive tiles as everyone shouts out their guesses. You play living, wild, and tall. Is it a Redwood? A giraffe? A basketball player? Nope. Keep playing tiles like furry, brown and bouncy. Once another player yells out Kangaroo, try a new word before time runs out! That's the funny, noisy, entertaining fun of FUNGLISH!

Chuck It Chicken

There's a ruckus in the hen house! That rascal rooster got in and took over the nest. Can your hens dodge their way back up to the nest to save the chickens. Chuck It Chicken includes nine chicks (playing pieces), one large chicken with egg slide, one egg, two dice, and four board barriers.

Race Around The Clock

Tackle time with confidence with Learning Curve's Race Around The Clock game! This self-checking game features real-life scenarios to help children solve elapsed time problems. Kids will have a blast as they learn about time while racing around the game board to win. Includes 100 story problem cards featuring photography of clock faces, four pawns, spinner, game board  and activity guide.



The Wrong Game

The Wrong Game is the card game where getting it right means getting it wrong! Welcome to the crazy game where being wrong is oh so right! Just answer questions fired at you with either deliberately wrong or right answers. The more answers you get wrong, the more you'll get right!

Christmas Stocking Stuffers

Sometimes, stocking stuffers can be the most fun Christmas gifts to buy. Because they're just a little something extra, there's no pressure to get them "just right". They can be silly and kooky, or whatever you want.

Dealomite has some great stocking stuffers for kids and kids at heart! Take a look at some of the things we would want to find in our stockings on Christmas morning!

Kids Christmas Gift Idea - LEGO Building Sets

To us, this Christmas gift idea seems like a no-brainer. LEGO has been one of the most popular toy brands for decades. They have fun building sets for young children (like the LEGO Duplo Learning Numbers Set) and more complicated sets for older children (like the LEGO City Fire Ship). No matter what their age, they'll love LEGO!

Here are a few of the LEGO building sets that we recommend for this Christmas:

My First LEGO Duplo Set

This set is a great introduction to the world of LEGO for children! Children can construct their first LEGO house with easy-to-understand instructions and easy-to-handle pieces.

LEGO Ultimate Building Set

There's no limit to what your kids can build with this set! This set includes 405 LEGO pieces (including a building plate, minifigure, windows, doors and wheels) that are guaranteed to provide children with hours of building entertainment. And the big blue container makes it easy to clean up and store all those LEGO pieces!

LEGO Hero Factory Drilldozer

Part of the space-themed Hero Factory set, Drilldozer is an intricate LEGO villain that is great for older LEGO builders. He stands over 8 inches tall and comes with great weapons like a shoulder-mounted lava sphere shooter!
