1.
The game of Perfection:Basically, it's a heart attack waiting to happen the board will pop loudly and send the pieces flying. -
2.
Don't Wake Daddy:The goal of this game is to sneak past the sleeping dad to get a midnight snack. The dad will actually pop up out of bed if you "wake" him...because apparently the '90s was all about scaring the crap out of people. -
3.
Ask Zandar:You ask "Zandar" questions and life's mysteries, such as "Does Danny think I'm cute?", will be answered for you. You do have to predict the answers, and if you guess the most correct, Zandar will tell you a special fortune. -
4.
Party Mania:You've been invited to a totally awesome party, but you have chores to do before you get there. Move through the board and slowly get ready for the party by putting on makeup, doing your hair, etc. The best part about this game is that it's accompanied by a VHS, so characters such as Aunt Franny and Miss Dorothy Higginbottom can make this game feel interactive. -
5.
Mall Madness:The goal of the game is to purchase six items and return to the parking lot. While you have unlimited money on your credit card, you can only use the cash you have to purchase items, and if you run out, you have to go to the ATM to withdraw more, so you want to try to purchase things that are on sale. -
6.
Rock Jocks:This game has a Yeti, which pretty much makes it the best game ever. Basically, you move your pieces around the cliff and stack pieces on top of each other. If it gets too heavy, it'll fall off. The goal is to be the last piece standing. -
7.
Girl Talk:This is basically a version of Truth or Dare that this gaming company can make money off of. You earn points for spilling your guts or doing a dare, and if you pass on anything, you have to put a red "zit sticker" on your face. -
8.
Vanilla Ice Electronic RAP Game:You use rhyming cards to complete the rap lines on the board. Once a rap line is complete, you rap it out loud in the "electronic beat box mike". The person with the most points at the end of the game wins the whole thing, and gets the privileged, nay- the honor, of rapping the entire board. -
9.
Shark Attack:It's a fast-paced game of chance! The perfect board game to play during Shark Week. You are a small fish moving around the board. If you're not fast enough, the motorized shark will ATTACK and swallow your fish! Last fish left in the "water" wins. -
10.
White Unicorn:Only the bravest Princess can free the unicorn from the evil magician's banishment. This is a basic roll-and-move board game, but with a mystical theme -
11.
Pretty Pretty Princess:Move through the game and collect all of your jewelry crown, necklace, bracelet, earrings, and ring to become the prettiest pretty pretty princess of all the princesses. -
12.
Fireball Island:The goal of the game is to get the plastic tiki idol down to your waiting boat. Be prepared to get pelted with volcanic fireball marbles which sporadically shoot out and knock people down the mountain. -
13.
Careers for Girls:The career choices in this game are: Super Mom, Rock Star, School Teacher, Fashion Designer, and Animal Doctor. To make matters worse, one of the game spaces says "tell us the names of your eight children." Really?? -
14.
Sealed With a Kiss:Pick a picture of your "boyfriend" and then move along the board collecting kisses. The first one to collect five kisses wins - but be careful not to have a kiss stolen from you or be forced to TRADE YOUR BOYFRIEND. Yup, that's right, you might have to swap boyfriends mid-game, because apparently cute guys are interchangeable. -
15.
Pass the Pigs:This game can be played anywhere. There are two small pigs with a dot on one side and nothing on the other. You roll the pigs and how they land results in different scores ex. one dot side up and one no dot is a different score than two dot side ups. There are also specialty positions such as a leaning pig that is worth bonus points. You can also lose all points with one very unlucky throw. The first person to 100 wins.
