Just in time for holiday shopping and family time, Gwen Ottenberg, owner of Imagine That Toys in Wichita, talks about some of the best new games for children and adults.
Gwen Ottenberg knows a thing or two about games.
As owner of Imagine That Toys in Wichita, Ottenberg gets the scoop on all the new card and board games each season. And she’s also an enthusiastic and competitive player herself.
“Play … is good for everybody’s mental stability, whether you’re a child or an adult,” she said.
“You truly learn so much about a person by playing a board game with them. You learn what kind of competitive person they are, whether they’re a good rule follower, whether they’re a little shifty about how they play things and do things. … It’s a great way to meet people and know people.”
If you’re looking for a new children’s toy or family activity this year — for your own family or as a holiday gift — here are some of Ottenberg’s recommendations:

..."Fire Tower (ages 12 and up, $29.99) — More serious board-gamers (fans of Ticket To Ride or Settlers of Catan) will appreciate this strategic but fast-paced game. Players use firefighting techniques to defend their towers from the growing flames and send the fire toward opponents. On each turn, you spread the “fire” in the direction of the wind and then play one of your action cards to dispatch smoke jumpers, build firebreaks and more. Takes 15-30 minutes to play."
