A good match

Match It! is a brightly-painted wooden games compendium from Fiesta Crafts.

Combining eight different games, this compilation should cater for the whole family – with everything from a recessed board to make it easier for children aged three upwards to join in, to dominoes to keep the wiser family members occupied.

Also included are other classics such as bingo, as well as a variety of pairs games to test memories. This compendium seems to have something for everyone, and is priced around £19.99.

Four wooden racks keep each player’s pieces well hidden from prying eyes, which should stop feistier games from deteriorating into accusations of cheating, and if it does all end in tears Match It! even includes solitaire, so you can sit in the corner and play all on your own.
