Skill and Arcade Games

About this collection

Skill and arcade games are fast, funny and full of surprises. In this collection you will find balancing and stacking games with chairs, animals, a beaver dam, falling hens and a pirate ship, 3D maze balls and a maze cube, Velcro dartboards with a rocket, a shark and a unicorn, ring toss and kids' bowling sets, fishing and grabbing games with a hungry shark, an angry pirate shark and crocodiles, and party games like the jumping pirate, popping fries and the exploding chicken coop.

Why skill games are worth it

These games train a steady hand, quick reactions and good aim. A child learns to concentrate under a little pressure, to try again after a tower collapses and to laugh at surprises. Short rounds make them ideal for children with lots of energy and for parties where everyone wants a turn.

Types of games

Balance and stacking. Place a piece without toppling the tower – for 2–4 players.
Mazes. Guide a ball through a 3D maze – a quiet challenge for one player.
Aim and throw. Velcro dartboards, ring toss and bowling for indoors or the garden.
Party games. Funny games with surprise moments that make the whole family laugh.

Indoors and out

Most games are small enough for a table, while bowling, ring toss and dartboards can move outdoors in summer. Travel versions of the stacking games fit into a backpack.

More games are in board and logic games, puzzles and games and active and balance toys.
