Remember Rubik’s Cube? This Sudoku Cube has a new twist: it combines the old-school challenge with the more recent Sudoku craze. Recommended for kids 6-11. $9.95 at Barnes & Noble

Would You Rather is a fun, fascinating game that we’ve all played at one time or another. The game has a series of cards posing interesting dilemmas, like would you rather have five bottles stuck on five fingers for a year or a bucket stuck on your foot for a year? 12 to adult. $9.99 at Amazon

If you’re tired of uppity Mensa-type games, try duh. You know how annoyed you get when you forget something that’s everyday common knowledge? That’s what duh takes advantage of, with its 50 simple questions that we all know the answers to. Or at least, we do until we’re quizzed on them… 12 to adult. $11.99 at Target.com

Created by a mother who was probably at wit’s end, award-winning Namits is a simple yet thought-provoking game for kids and adults. Combine the cards (see example at right) to come up with lists of things to name. You can add in time limits or first to reach a certain number to make the game more competitive and challenging, or keep it simple for tots who haven’t quite mastered the art of losing yet… The original game is for ages 4 to 100; snag a travel set for car trips or the Junior game for kids 3 to 8. $9.99 each at Namits.

The Brainquest card series make for long-lasting entertainment; several of these have been tested over here with not a loser in the bunch.
