Escapades
Venture into Escapades, and you may never be bored again. The  game, which is actually 300 games in one, captured the Parents' Choice  Gold Award, and it's easy to see why. The creators of this ingenious  deck of 300 cards combed the finest books on cooperative games for the  very best ideas. The result: a spectacular collection of games,  including team-building activities, question-and-answer games, and  raucous relay races. Each card describes rules of play and needed  supplies and is color-coded to fall into one of three categories: low,  semi, and high action levels. The low-action cards can entertain  families for hours on the road, and the high-energy ones will keep your  parties hopping.--Trilby Cohen has spent most of the past decade as  a primary school teacher and reading specialist in north Seattle public  schools.
