Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Buzzword Junior is the new version of Buzzword from Patch Products (revamped for kids, I presume). In Buzzword, you are given a series of clues and must name the phrase to which each clue pertains, each of which phrases contains a named “buzzword”.
To celebrate the new game, Patch Products will be printing Buzzword and Buzzword Jnior mini-games on the drink coasters in Red Robin restaurants. In addition, specially marked games will come with a Red Robin coupon for a free kids meal.

The Spennymoor Town Council will be rejuvinating Victoria Jubilee Park, with plans for giant board games including “‘Giant Jenga, Giant Connect Four, Giant Snakes and Ladders, Giant Dominoes and Giant Drafts”.
First of all, I hope they mean Giant Draughts. Unless they’re planning on some sort of windtunnel game.
Second of all, Giant Jenga? Doesn’t that sound a little dangerous?

Hannah Montana Twister Moves is shipping in September, and available for pre-order on Amazon.

With only thirty scratch and sniff cards, P.U. The Guessing Game of Smells is going to wear out its welcome pretty quickly. Maybe they’ll make expansion cards.
Never fear. Available from the same publisher is Totally Gross Game, a game of science trivia about such subjects as farts and boogers.
