Chi-TAG, so many toys, my Christmas lists are set

This past weekend was the Chicago Toy and Game fair (Chi-TAG). My family and I attended the event and were in awe of all the great new toys for the holiday shopping lists. With so many exhibits, it's hard to pick a favorite, but here are a few highlights from the event.

Slingers by Upper Deck: Marvel Slingers is a game of skill and strategy. Use a toy similar to a yo-yo to pick up medallions and score points. Battle against friends or practice by yourself. Each Slingers Starter Pack comes with 1 Collectible Marvel Slinger and 3 medallions. Collect medallions, create your teams, and battle against your friends!

Perplexus: PERPLEXUS is a maze game where players maneuver a small marble around challenging barriers inside a transparent sphere.This game challenges eye-hand coordination and concentration. It was selected as one of Parents Magazine's Top Toys of 2010. 

Action Mat Football: Known as the newest Mancave Football Game, this game replicates real football strategy with real football action. From kick-offs to touchdowns, compete against friends to see the ultimate winner. 

Reverse Charades Junior: A new twist to a classic game. One person is the guesser and the team acts out the clues. Great party game.

Zoo Panic: Need a game for all ages?  Help get all the animals back to their cages. No reading required.

These are just a few of the many toys that were shown at Chi-TAG. I'll be sharing more toys as we all get ready for the holiday shopping season.
