Frankly, we're bored with the Community Chest and we've never liked Ventnor Avenue. For a nice change of pace try one of these non-monotonous Monopoly games, licensed from the folks who own the original. You pick Dinosaur Monopoly, where you take a chance on your excavation collapsing but where the rent on a pteranodon is just $8 a month, or the Night Sky Monopoly where Earth is, surprisingly, the new Park Place and where it can cost you an astronomical $100 if you leave your telescope out in the rain. Tokens are appropriate to each game, but you still pass go and you can still go to jail. Two to six players, ages 8 to adult.

Ten furlongs are condensed to (7) inches, with very small horses, in the Desktop Derby, a 6-horse straight track that lets you win money while you teach the children the evils of pari-mutuel betting. The electric track pulsates and moves the nags along at a pace of about 45 seconds per race, with heart-stopping lead changes. The best part is that they're un-handicapable: a different horse, in a different lane, seems to win every time. Measures 9-7/8" x 3-1/2" x 2" high and runs off (2) "AA" batteries, included. (Stable the horses in the base between races.)

Itty-bitty dominos, not short, bossy women. Just the thing for traveling fun, and small enough to use on an airplane tray table, which is available for dominos now, since they're not going to serve you any food on it. This standard 28-piece game set (and you'll get 4 sets) has plastic dominos measuring 1" x 1/2" x 1/8" thick, in a plastic pouch with a weird Jolly-Roger head, and no, we don't know why.

It's nice to know that some things don't change. One is the Jacob's Ladder. Still made with (6) slabs of wood, each about 2" x 2" x 1/2", each a bright combination of colors, and all connected by a contrasting ribbon. Hold one end up and let the string of slabs dangle. When you flop the top block end for end, each lower slab in turn will flop end for end. Fascinating. Particularly if you are about 5 to 9 years old.

From the Mindbender series, these lightly varnished wooden critter puzzles are tough to figure out, but they make very attractive tchotchkes when finished. You pick from the 10-piece pig (4-1/2" x 2-1/4" x 2-3/4") or the 9-piece foxy-looking dog (6-1/2" x 4-3/4" x 1-3/8"). If you're puzzle-impaired, each comes with an answer key, but we think you can do without it, if you're persistent enough. For ages 8 and up.
