The Kids Review It! Shark Bite from Goliath Games & Pressman Toy

Shark Bite Game
Photo-A-Day #4493

We received a new game from Goliath Games and Pressman Toy to play with and review. The opinions expressed are our own.

Shark Bite is a fun game where players take turns pulling fish out of the mouth of a shark. Play continues until the shark jumps up and chomps his teeth around the fish or the player fishing. I first played the game with Andrew. He and I played out on our front porch and had a great time anticipating who would cause the shark to jump up and bite.

Later on I took the game to the beach to take photos. We did not play there because I did not want to get any sand into the mechanism for the Shark. The kids wanted to play again later tonight and they convinced their auntie to play with them, too while I filmed. She was the one who caused the shark to jump in our video. Eva was scared of the shark jumping but she calmed down as they played. It was funny to watch, though. You can see everything in the video below.

Official Description:
Shark Bite: Get ready to have a REEL-y good time when you play Shark Bite! Players take turns rolling the die and fishing for the colorful sea creatures using the fishing rod. Watch out – you never know when the shark will bite!
(Players 2-4, Age 4+)

Review: New Pokémon sets from Mega Construx

MEGAContrux Pokemon

We received some Mega Construx sets for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.

We received two sets to play with and they were the Charmander vs. Squirtle battle pack and the Machop and pokeball set. Andrew and I don’t really know much about Pokémon. I was older when ti came out and I never got into it. I wasn’t interested in the TV show or collecting the cards either. I do like building sets, and so when we were asked to review these I said sure.

MEGA Construx does a nice job of creating sets that feature current characters and properties like Despicable Me and the Minions and now Pokémon. The way that you can build each little Pokémon character is done nicely. You actually build the little heads of the characters rather then them being molded pieces. I like this because the heads go on with ball in socket connections so that you can move the heads all around. This makes for better poses while playing. Andrew built these sets himself and he did a great job following the directions with a little help. You can see more about each of the sets and also find a link to their official pages.
