Hasta La Gadget!

I know that when it comes to summer, most parents would prefer their kids to spend their time outdoors, and if they were indoors even, playing video games is not the best way to occupy one’s holidays. After all, one gets to shed physical energy in the great outdoors, and it also does help with the socializing bit in the long run. If your kids really insist on playing indoors, why not sit them down with a board game of sorts instead? All right, so their attention span is so short, they need something electronic thrown into the mix, and I guess this is where the $29.99 Laser Maze Beam-Bending Logic Game is able to step in.

You could say that the Laser Maze Beam-Bending Logic Game is a sort of solitaire-type game, albeit it has lasers as part of the setup. You basically have to guide the laser beam through a series of mind-busting mazes, and the game ought to last for a fair amount of time as it comes with 60 cards that span different skill levels, ranging from beginner to expert. This is a single-player game which was specially designed by the very same people behind Khet and Rush Hour.

Remember those old plastic maze games with the little ball in them? You know, the type where you had to carefully move them around until the ball landed in the little divot? Well you can now relive this childhood memory while you’re three sheets to the wind, thanks to the Clink! Glass.

This version has two balls you need to get into the little grooves, and looks like it might be tricky even if you’re completely sober.

The Clink! Glass is available over at Perpetual Kid for $19.99(USD). Whisky not included.
