Do you like green eggs and ham?
If you'll eat them on a boat, and if you'll eat them with a goat, then your family will enjoy this delightful board game.
The Green Eggs and Ham Game is easy to learn, and designed so that children and parents can have fun playing together. Just use your memory to match cards to spaces on the board — make three matches and you're ready for a taste of green eggs and ham.
The game helps kids practice early reading skills and lets you and your children enter the fun and exciting world of Dr. Seuss.

The push-your-luck game Cheeky Monkey includes eight sets of animals – three elephants, four seals, and so on up to ten monkeys – with a plastic chip representing each animal. To start the game, you place all the chips in a bag.

On a turn, a player may draw chips until either (1) he chooses to stop or (2) he draws an animal that he has lying in front of him from a previous draw this turn. In this latter case, he returns all chips in front of him from the current turn to the bag, and the next player then takes his turn. In the former case, he stacks the chips in whatever order he wants on top of any chips he's collected in previous turns. (If a player has animals of only a single type, he can tuck them on the bottom of his stack.) Two special rules come into play while the player draws chips:

If a player draws an animal chip that matches the animal on top of an opponent's stack, the player can steal this animal, adding it to the chips currently in front of him. (If he busts for drawing a duplicate animal, this stolen chip is also returned to the bag.)
If a player draws a monkey, he can either keep the monkey (as with any other animal) or he can swap the monkey for the chip on top of an opponent's stack.

When the last chip has been added to a stack, the game ends. Any player who has more chips of an animal type than any other player receives bonus points equal to the total number of that animal in the game. The player with the most points wins.

It's a leap-to-the-finish in this colorful game of fast-moving reptiles. Choose a secret creature card, shake the cup and pour out the picture tiles. Move your lizard forward or backward depending on what the tiles show. But look before you leap or else you could wind up at the back of the line! The first player to jump to the finish is the king of chameleons.

The London Borough of Chelsea is famous for its expensive houses and top of the range cars, and is home to many rich people. The children of six of these Chelsea residents have reached adulthood and are looking to find partners and set up homes of their own. In order to help their children, their parents start buying houses, vans and cars. However, their children have strong colour preferences, and also like their houses and vehicles to be colour-coordinated.

Each of the three to six players takes the role of one family, and aims to be the first to set up all their children for their adult life. This will involve repainting houses, repainting garages, buying and exchanging vans and cars, until your children are happily installed in their new homes.

Chelsea is a simple, yet thought provoking game, which teaches children to plan a strategy and follow it through in order to succeed. Because it only has a small amount of luck, children are rewarded for good play, and thus encouraged to think about what they are doing. But most importantly, because Chelsea is a game which teaches, rather than a teaching aid disguised as a game, children will enjoy it, and play it again and again.

[Note] The emphasis on children as the target audience for this game does it a serious a dis-service & kills its appeal to a gamer. This is a fine light filler & suitable for adults to enjoy.[/Note]
