Getting a game out in my home means quality time with the family and some friendly competition. Although we have our favorites, we're not picky with what kind of games we play. Card games, board games, word games....you name it, we'll play it.
Studies show that exercising in brain activities has many benefits, including sharpening the mind. Puzzles, board games, and logic books are great resources for putting the brain to work. It is my belief that games sharpen the mind, form bonds, and bring out a healthy dose of competition.
Drop It is the newest family board game released by Thames & Kosmos. Though easy to learn, Drop It is deceptively mind-boggling. One at a time, each player drops a shape into the vertical game board's drop zone. Players earn points for the highest level that their shape reaches when it lands and extra points for touching bonus circles. But be careful not to break the Landing Rule! The shape you drop is not allowed to touch matching shapes or colors after it lands. If you break a landing rule, you will go away empty-handed. The winner is the player or team with the most points at the end. Drop It is recommended for ages 8 and above.
A game for 2-4 players or two teams, Drop It comes with fairly understandable instructions. There is just a little assembly required to play. Included is a vertical board with base and a scoring track. There are several green, blue, red, and yellow wooden shapes.
Diagrams in the instruction manual shows how many of each shape a person should get based on how many people are playing. Players start out by choosing one of their shapes, then dropping it in the drop zone. You want to make sure your shape didn't break any of the landing rules. For instance, your shape is not allowed to be touching any shapes of the same color and your shape is not allowed to be touching any areas marked by symbols of the same shape or color on the side or bottom edges of the drop zone.
Points are determined on the highest level in which your shape landed. You can also receive bonus points. Variant ways to play the game are included in the instructions. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins.
This game is competitive, fun, and challenging. It definitely gets you thinking and strategizing!
Win It!
One person will win a Drop It board game.
