Games Girls

Twilight Board Game
$19.99
As many others have already said in reviews, this game is terrible! The set up is awful. Play is confusing. Instructions are not clear making game play even more confusing. The "challenges" make the game seem like it was made by 12 year old girls. Maybe it is a game FOR 12 year old girls, in which case if you are buying this for a daughter or niece, she may enjoy it. But the challenges include things such as "which player is more stubborn" and "Edward has trouble resisting his thirst for Bella.. list your five favorite foods you have trouble resisting" It is really difficult (or easy depending on how well you know the person you are playing with) to play this game with only two players as most of these challenges require you to match anoth player's answers. My best friend and I played together and it was way too easy when we only had two players to choose from for the "Which player...." questions. The Crests that you use to move around the board are so alike in color that playing with multiple people makes it difficult to know which game piece is yours.

The only plus I give this game is the trivia questions. Some people reviewing the Twlight Scene It? game are complaining that the questions are too easy. This game did have some difficult questions such as "What is the name of Bella's dance studio?" for example. But also mixed in with some easy ones.. like what class do Bella and Edward have together? The "challenges" were so lame that we eventually started playing using only the trivia questions.

Games Girls Play: Understanding and Guiding Young Female Athletes
$16.99
This book is the best I've ever read on the subject of young female athletes; Silby and Smith have a complete understanding of the challenges faced by girls who are involved in athletics, and the book gives example after example of how a young female athlete can cope with various critical issues. As the step-father of a female high-school athlete whose team won the Maryland soccer championship, I can attest to how valuable the book has been to her.Silby knows her stuff, and Smith's prose is clear, concise, and always on the mark. Interestingly, Smith is also the co-author of the book, "Just Give me the Damn Ball," written with football-star Keyshawn Johnson. If you've got a daughter involved in athletics, this is the book for her (and you'll find it useful, too). I can't recommend the book more highly--it's great.

3rd Annual Girls Games of Summer
$17.95
3rd annual is very good with real girls having real fun. Almost up there with "Country Cuties Barnyard Bash" in terms of fun. Avoid 4th annual as very sad.
