Lazy Hazy Days of Summer Don't Have To Be a Brain Drain. Griddly Games Keep Your Mind Sharp All Season

Vancouver, BC – (April 22, 2010) – Lazy hazy days of summer don’t have to be a brain drain. Instead, Griddly Games has two new party games that can train your brain and keep it sharp all season long.

Words of the Wise.jpg Words of the Wise and Chronicles of the Mind (MSRP $12.99 each, for ages 10 and up) are all-new party games that arrive just in time to offer a fun family and friend forum while also keeping brains trained through the Summer months. The new games provide light-hearted fun, and add an educational experience with multilingual play options and a cultivation of creative thinking.

Words of the Wise gets players to dig deep into their minds to come up with words to match topic cards in alphabetical order. Players have the option of trying it on their own, going head-to-head; or competing in teams.

Chronicles of the Mind supplies the party with interesting and often hilarious storytelling topics to encourage players to share stories. Sometimes, the perfect icebreaker, Chronicles of the Mind is ” the game that gets everyone talking!”

Particularly for the summer when families are active and on the go, the new games are conveniently compact travel-friendly formats that are perfect to play in the car, on planes, while on road trips, camping trips, during sleepovers, or almost anywhere at anytime. Plus, the two new games come with English, German, French and Spanish translations incorporated into each game so they can be used as a learning tool or played in any of the languages for those European vacations or just for summertime practice.

Available this May in specialty toy and gift stores across North America , as well as online at Amazon.com, Words of the Wise and Chronicles of the Mind will join the rest of the Griddly Games award-winning line-up of board games that have tested extremely well with both kids and adults. Griddly’s Wise Alec™ family trivia game and Griddly Headz sports-themed game line, which include the top-selling Griddly Headz NASCAR® Racing Game, Griddly Headz Baseball and Griddly Headz Hockey, have won numerous awards including Learning Magazine’s 2010 Teacher’s Choice Award, Game of the Year from Creative Child Magazine, and Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Children’s Products.
