Giveaway for Family Game Night

September 29th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
feature photo

If your family loves to play games, then you need to get your hands on Cir*Kis by Winning Moves – a captivating game of circles and stars that challenges players to outwit their opponents through colorful shapes and strategies.

The exciting piece-playing game has players race to score the most points by completing circles and stars on an eye-catching game board.

The main rule of the game is to place your piece next to the last piece played. Complete as many shapes as possible to score points and block your opponents from scoring. Plan ahead and you could earn a free turn to place another piece and score big.  Score 40 points and you win instantly.

Scoring tracks and corner compartments make it easy to see who is  in the lead, and it makes it easy to store the pieces. The game contents include the dimensional plastic game board unit, four sets of 20 colorful playing pieces, four scoring pegs, and illustrated instructions.

The game is designed for players ages eight and up. Two to four people can play at a time and it, which makes it a perfect addition to family game night. The suggested retail price is $24.95 and the game is available at Winning-Moves.com, Toys R Us, Barnes and Noble and Amazon. But one lucky Lipstick to Crayons reader can win Cir*Kis by entering the contest below.

    I would love to win this game because I am a teacher and my class would really benefit from a higher level and problem solving game like this one. It is so expensive to purchase educational games for my classroom so I would love to win. We all know teachers have no money:) It would also be a great family game for me to play with my girls to teach me before I give it to my students to play.
