...ABOUT OUR GAMES
"THE ADVENTURES OF OLIVER & TOES" follows the escapades of two dogs as they tour their neighborhood, revealing interesting and amusing information about their fellow comrades along the way.
“ENDANGERED” is a realistic and fast paced game which makes participants aware of the plight of endangered species as they travel the world searching for reasons and remedies to aid their chosen animal.
"COLORFUL KINGDOM" has children matching animals to their respective habitats as well as imitating the sounds and behavior of familiar creatures.
Our line of MAGNETIC PUZZLES has children piecing together animals and characters from all 3 of our board games in a fascinating and revolutionary new way.
We believe that by introducing the animal world to children at a young age, there is a better chance of instilling in them an understanding and respect for all living creatures FAMILY GAMES hopes to encourage children and their parents to become interested in animals, read up about them, learn about them and become involved with the A.S P.C.A. or their local animal organization.
Only through awareness can we make a change. That is what our line of games is all about.
