"Oginov Tumbler" Review and Giveaway

“Oginov Tumbler” by Drumond Park Games

Drumond Park Games have really come up with a challenge with the Oginov Tumbler (RRP. £9.99). 

Designed for ages eight and up it’s a pyramid puzzle game which relies on gravity to move the assortment of pyramids into position within a transparent ball.  The only thing is the pyramids can’t just fall any old way - you’ve a puzzle to solve. 

Level One begins with The Dots, an easy intro to the game which allows you to practise and polish up your moves and generally get the hang of what you are doing.  When you are confident and think your skills are up to scratch you can then progress onto Level Two, until you have solved and mastered all six levels. 

Think it sounds easy?  I couldn’t do it but my determination hasn’t fizzled yet.  I need to solve this thing before Mike does.  A little matrimonial competition is good sometimes, don’t you think?  Perhaps the kids might get a go soon.  

After I’ve finished my next go.  

Maybe.

The Oginov Tumbler is available for purchase at all good stockists but Drumond Park has offered three to give away as prizes.  Just leave a comment below to say you want to enter.

The giveaway will close on Monday, 12^th December at midnight and the three winners will be announced soon after.  I’m sorry but this giveaway is open to entrants in the UK only.

Good luck!

"Dino Bite" Review and Giveaway

“” by Drumond Park Games

Readers who are familiar with us will be aware that we have a lot of sons.  They are all very different, with a range of personalities yet they all have a fascination with dinosaurs.

Show them a box containing a game called “Dino Bite” and the cries of ,“Can we play it now?!! Can we?!  PLEEEEAASE!!!!” become quite deafening. 

The game is recommended for children aged 4 and up, and between 2 and 4 players can play at a time.   Another bonus is that it only takes 2 x AA batteries, so isn’t going to break the bank there either which is always a plus in my opinion.

The aim of the game is to rescue the twenty Dino Babies hidden beneath a leaf in their Dino nest before the big, bad Dino realises what you are up to and JUMPS!  It isn’t as easy as it sounds as you need to rescue them using the Dino-head shaped tweezers.  Can you feel the pressure?

The boys loved the roaring dinosaur which definitely added to the mood of the moment and nerves and trepidation were rife.  The rescue of the dino babies was obviously a very serious task which I had failed to appreciate.  There were furrowed brows and deep levels of concentration followed by howls of laughter when the Dino “caught” them!  This game was a definite winner in our house and got the thumbs-up all round.

Drumond Park Games have given us two “Dino Bite” games to give away.  Just leave a comment below to say you’d like to enter.  You can earn an extra entry by becoming a Larger Family Life Facebook friend  (leave another comment to say you are now a Facebook Friend) and another extra entry for becoming a Larger Family Life Twitter follower, and one more extra entry for tweeting/blogging/Facebooking about the giveaway and linking back to this post.
