Who would love this:  Anyone who enjoys Connect Four (or any classic games) with a twist 

ORBITO from FlexiQ Games takes the classic Connect-4 to electrifying heights. The marbles don’t just drop into place—they orbit across the board, forcing you to think ahead, outsmart your opponent, and set traps in ways you’ve never imagined. Thank you VR Distribution for this amazing game! 

Why I love ❤️ it: 

(1) Connect-Four Played On A Patented, Rotatable Board

8 black marbles. 8 white marbles. Two players. Four in a row. With a single press of a button, the battle of Orbito begins! Sleek and mesmerizing marbles take center stage, each one gliding around a patented board that’s anything but ordinary. The game board is split into two zones: the rotating outer edge, where 12 marbles shift in orbit, and the 4 dynamic squares at the core, constantly shifting and throwing your plans into disarray. Your goal? To line up four of your marbles in a row—whether vertically, horizontally, or diagonally—before your opponent does. Every time you press the Orbito button, the marbles shift one position on their orbit, turning the game into an ever-evolving puzzle of strategy, anticipation, and chaos.

(2) Sabotage Your Opponent's Strategy - Shift A Marble To An Adjacent Spot

It’s not just the shifting game board that keeps you on edge. On each turn, you have the power to sabotage your opponent’s strategy by shifting one of their marbles to an adjacent spot. Now, you’re not just thinking about where to place your own marbles; you’re also plotting where to disrupt your opponent’s next move! 

(3) Push Button FIVE Times When It's A Stalemate

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Orbito throws in one more twist: if the board is full and it’s a stalemate, one player is granted the power to PUSH THE BUTTON FIVE TIMES, triggering a frenzy where every shift of the marbles could be the game-changer. The first player to line up four of their balls wins, but if it’s still anyone’s game after those five dramatic presses, it’s a draw! We love the element of thrilling unpredictability and the wild ride of suspense! 

(4) Top-Notch & Sturdy Components

The components are top-notch. The sturdy plastic board is solid, while the marbles are beautifully crafted, weighty and smooth. Setting up the game is a breeze: simply lift the central knob, give it a slight twist to lock it in place, and you’re ready to dive into the action!

Letter Links, By FlexiQ Games - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:            Board game 

Rating:                       ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️     

Recommended age:   6 year-old ++ 

Who would love this: Parents looking for a fun and educational (phonics learning) game 

“Letter Links” by FlexiQ Games is a nice little addition to our kids board game collection: it has succinct and quick-to-learn game rules; almost zero setting up time, short and sweet game play (perfect for little people with short attention span), compact and travel-easy, and can be played almost anywhere and anytime. Thank you VR Distribution for providing a copy! 

Why I love ❤️ this game: 

(1) A Fantastic Game To Learn Sound Patterns 

This is a fantastic game for school-age kids who are exploring the wonderful world of phonology, and getting themselves familiar with frequently-occurring sound patterns. The set includes 60 double-sided card: one side of the cards features 3 letters (2 red and 1 blue) each, and the reverse side of the cards features images of 7 unrelated and random objects/ animals. The game rules is pretty straightforward: be the first player to find the magic “link” - match a letter (from one card) with an image (from another card placed beside it) that starts with the corresponding letter. For example, “D” matches with “duck”, “S” matches with “socks”, and “H” matches with “helicopter”. The winner is the little champion who won (collected) most of the cards by the end of the game. The mechanism is intuitive. The gameplay is fast, stimulating, and strangely addictive. Our two kids love it! 

(2) 2 Ways To Play, 2 Difficulty Levels 

I love that the game rules provide 2 different difficulty levels. In the starter level, players only look at the 2 red letters, and need only to spot 1 image that matches 1 of the 2 red letters to win. In the advanced level, players look at all the 3 letters and must call out 2 correct “links” to win a card. 

(3) Colourful & Appealing Images 

The images are colourful and appealing. I love the hexagonal cards design and image arrangement (that suits a multi-player game very well). With a wide variation combinations of 3 letters and 7 images in 60 cards, this game has an impressively high playability! 

(4) Stay Focus & Think Fast!

I love a kids game with educational value - not only does it allow the kids to learn about phonics sounds, it also trains the kids to stay focus, connect pieces of information, think fast and flexibly - and really, no one minds a little bit of competitive fun 😉.

Make A Mooove!, by FlexiQ Games - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:           Board game for kids 

Rating:                       ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Recommended age:   5 year-old ++ 

Who would love this: Kids who love speed and quick, fun games! 

“Make A Mooove!” from FlexiQ Games is a speed game that gets your mind working (and twisting) and challenges the inter-connectedness of your brain neurons. It’s a game for all ages! Thank you VR Distribution for another awesome recommendation! 

Why I love ❤️ this game: 

(1) Speed Game That Gets Your Mind Working & Twisting! 

This is a fast game that tricks your mind! Included within are 40 fruit cards (each contains 6 different fruits that appears in different quantities between 3 to 8 times), 4 dice, and a game instruction. In the “Standard Level” rules, we roll 1 of each number die, animal die and fruit die simultaneously. Now compared the dice against the top fruit card, and shout out the fruit that appears that number of times as per the number die. Eg - if you roll a “4”, and you see 4 bananas on the card - shout “banana” to win the card. But, here’s the twist: if you also roll a “banana” on the fruit dice, then instead of yelling the fruit name, make the sound of the animal that appears on the animal die (eg. “moo” for cow). This game needs fast reaction, precision (trust me, it’s not easy to group and count fruits under pressure!), and lightning quick observation! 

(2) Advanced Level Option With 4 Dice 

If you are playing with an older kid who prefers something more challenging- there is a “4 Dice” advanced level option. The game rules are substantially the same, save that now we mix in an extra fruit die. If both the fruit dice show the same fruit, players must ignore the other 2 dice and yell out the number of times that fruit appears on the card instead! This version is hilariously confusing and demands 100% focus! 

(3) Adjust Difficulty Level With Easy Starter Variant 

If all these are getting too overwhelming for your kids - you can also adjust the difficulty level and do a “1-Die” Simple option. Choose either a number die or fruits die only, and get your kids to name the fruit that match the number die / or yell the number of time a fruit appears on card. I’m loving the flexibility and “adaptability” of the game to suit different age groups and skill levels! 

(4) Cute & Adorable Artwork

I’m loving the cute and eye-catching graphics. The animals are fun and silly, and who can resist a game with lots of juicy strawberries and tropical pineapples? Yum!
