Summary: Amazingly Realistic
Comment: I have been playing Lunch Money for six years now, and it has become a hit with just about everyone I've introduced it to. Although the game seems overwhelming at first glance, it is a common sense game. The moves make perfect sense, and it usually takes players only a short while to grasp how it works. The situation of the recess fight almost lends itself to role-playing without anyone ever having to get up or log in. Mastering the game, on the other hand, is a challenge, albeit, a welcome one. The set-up definitely lends itself to hours of fun.

Though I don't recommend it for younger players--the fantastic artwork and trash talking aren't best for small kids--I think that families with teen-aged kids would have a good time with Lunch Money's playground free-for-all scenario. It's a great alternative to the traditional trash talking of a good spades game.

Even better, once you get your friends hooked, everyone wants to get in on the fun. The dynamics of the game change everytime you play it. My friends and I have even gone so far as deciding to set up teams and poker-style tournaments. What could be better than strategically and pyschologically dominating your opponent AND walking away with all of her lunch money?

If your looking for some keen ideas for stocking stuffers, check out this one!

Summary: Be the Bully
Comment: I just love this game. It recreates a playground fight with punches, kicks, blocks, dodges, and special fight cards. It doesn't take long to learn, but it is not easy to master. I play it with my wife, my friends, my 12 year-old nephew, and my 71 year-old mother. This game is fast paced and easy to learn. It is good for kids because of its storytelling nature. You narrate your playground fight, so you have to tell the group what you are doing. Wonderful for creativity. Lunch money is good for parties or quiet nights at home. However they won't be that quiet once you start playing.
