Chip Theory Kids Versus Collection

Chip Theory Kids Versus Collection is a set of 3 competitive games for young kids, ages 4-5+. There’s a memory game, a dexterity game, and a party game.

Bear in Mind is a memory game where you tell stories to help remember. It’s kind of like a competitive, less abstract Wilmot’s Warehouse for young kids. This was the first memory game I played with my kids where they were doing better than me! I think it’s because of the story – they enjoyed remembering the story part and that helped a lot. It’s got cute art and is a good “my first memory game” but I think for older kids I would just play Wilmot’s Warehouse. But I brought this one to my kids’ school to play there and the kids enjoyed it, so it’s good for non-gamer 4-5 year olds!

Octo Grabbo is like Here, Fishy, Fishy! but with chopsticks. It included octopus chopstick helper things for young kids who can’t use chopsticks, so it turns them into a tweezers-like thing. There are two modes of this game. The first is rolling a dice and turn based like Here, Fishy, Fishy! The second is a speed mode where you flip a card that has some of the pieces on it, and you race to get those pieces onto your shell plate. The speed mode is more of a game, but also something that someone who knows how to use chopsticks will always win over someone who’s just learning. My kids got frustrated playing it and not being able to pick up the pieces so I thought they didn’t like it, but afterwards they told me they liked it.

Woodland Rush is a party game where you try to do as many tasks as you can in the time limit. There’s a deck of cards with different tasks on them that are worth different points. Some cards also just lose a point or let you steal a card from someone else. But most of them are various tasks that are kind of like mini games. Some tasks help with matching and numbers, or memory, or dexterity (stacking). There are also some where you have to make a face or a pose and my kids love those ones because they like making the funny faces and poses. My kids were laughing so much when they played this game and it seems like they love it a lot.

With all of these games I wouldn’t play them with adults (except maybe Octo Grabbo speed mode), but they’re good for families with young kids.

Not these games are currently only available in the USA.
