Fundex Games Phase 10 Card Game User Review

This is a rummy-type game for nearly all ages. It is easy enough for the 8 year olds (it is rated 8+), but my college-age nieces and nephews love playing it, and it is the current “game night” choice for my adult friends. Because it works for a wide age range, it is a great game for families to play. You can play it with as few as two people but it is more fun and more competitive to play with a larger group.

The cards come in suits of four different colors and numbered 1-12, with Wild and Skip cards. The game has 10 “phases” or “melds” (e.g. two sets of 3, a set of 3 and run of 4, run of 7, 7 cards of one color) and you need to complete them in order. If someone else goes out by getting rid of all his or her cards before you complete your current phase, you have to try again the next hand. When someone goes out, all the rest of the players have to count the points in their hands and add them to their scores. When you play with a larger group, it gets more difficult because it is more likely another person will go out before you have completed your phase and leave you with a handful of points.

My friends and I enjoy playing it because it is not so simple as to be boring but not so complicated that we can’t talk and snack while we are playing.

I like this newer version of the cards because the Skip cards are now black and not in the colors of the four suits, thus eliminating the inevitable argument that they should be allowed in the phase of 7 cards of one color.

Kryptonics Men’s Kore Series Multi-Sport Helmet (Large/X-Large, Matte Black) User Review

I got this helmet for my almost 4yr old as he really wanted “skateboarding” helmet and most helmets of this kind out there cost much more than he needs at this point. His head is bigger than average for his age (20.5″) and the small size fit a little bit loose (I would say it fits 21″ perfectly). I fixed it by sticking the extra pad supplied with the helmet on top of the front insert padding. Now it fits snug and this way it will fit him longer. The packaging says that small is for age 12 and younger and the large is 13 and over. Helmet looks very cool and it is much better quality than I expected for the price.
