We have a new toy in the office. Well, not a toy exactly but something that is providing a little diversion every now and then when the phone lines stop ringing. My very kind in laws gave me a wooden box containing 5 big dice. We can use them for playing Ludo, Shut the Box or a quick-fire game of snakes and ladders from the Bigjigs Games Compendium.
Or, we could put these brilliant Bigjigs toys to one side for a moment and launch a new Wooden Wednesday competition? Go on then, it would be cruel not to.
Here we go then, WoodenToyShoppers. This week’s competition is very simple: Rob is going to throw the five dice and all you have to do is guess the combined total of the spots on the top side of all 5. For example, 3, 5, 2, 2 and 6 would be 18. We’d also like you to tell us which is your favourite board game.
