Checklist For Skill Games

Executions
  • Skill games require concentration, perception, motor skills, reaction, logic, spatial vision and patience. They are a great alternative to consoles and computers
  • You can choose from board games, stacking games, stick games, movement games, mazes, and electronic games with light and sound effects for skill games.
  • A wider selection of skill games will give your child plenty of variety. We recommend having various solo games, games for exciting duels, and games for several people in the home game repertoire.
  • Skill games that include different levels of difficulty or game variations offer multiple play options at once
  • A wider range of games reduces the risk of frustration. If your child fails at one game, he or she can try another
Material
  • When buying games of skill, look for good quality materials and proper workmanship. After all, the games are used a lot and extensively and encourage repeated trial and practice
  • Skill games made of plastic have the advantage that they are light and robust
  • Metal offers high dimensional stability
  • Wood is stable and has a great feel. Here, you should pay attention to health-safe paints and a smooth, cleanly processed surface
  • Many brands offer reliably good quality and often have appropriate seals of approval, such as the FSC label or the spiel-gut seal
Age Recommendation
  • In order not to over-or under challenge your child, you should consider the age recommendation of the manufacturer. It also provides information about whether the game contains small parts that can be swallowed.
  • Board games, stacking games, plug-in games, and movement games are generally suitable for younger children
  • However, you should take your child’s individual abilities into account and pay attention to the size of the game parts. Parts that are too delicate are difficult for young children to handle
  • Children of elementary school age and older often enjoy tricky puzzle games and mazes. Electronic games of skill and games in which physical forces such as gravity and magnetism play a leading role also encourage extensive trial and error.
