In the photo I have two LEGO Series Nine minifigs of the knight. On the left the knight is in his included accessories and on the right the knight is wearing the Rhino Helm and holding the Minotaur Axe from Brick Warriors. While I like the look of the accessories from Brick Warriors, especially the silver metallic plastic I do like that the LEGO helm has a visor that raises and lowers and has a hole for a plume. The LEGO sword is made from that metallic silver plastic and that looks good with fairly decent details. I would love to see Brick Warriors create some accessories based on weapons from cartoons like He-man’s sword, The Sword of Omens, the blasters from Slugterra, there are many possibilities.
The other day Allison, Eva and I played a couple rounds of a new card game called Swish Jr. This is the Jr. version of the popular game from ThinkFun called Swish. It helps challenge players to think in new and different ways. I sort of think of it as a low tech Tetris sort of game. Each card is transparent and has a couple of symbols on it some are outlines and some are solid. Your job is to take as few as two cards and as many as 9 cards to stack so that the images form a swish, named for a basketball going through the net without hitting the rim. So, a Swish is formed when every symbol in the stack of cards you select to make a Swish has a solid image on top of an outline and vice versa with every symbol in your stack matched. Here is a video of how the game is played.
