Board games are a long-held holiday tradition in our family. They're a fantastic way to pull kids away from their screens, create family bonding time and promote critical thinking skills. We can't think of a better way to create lasting memories. On our hunt to find the best board game gifts this year, we came across IELLO, a toy company with some of the most intriguing games we've seen in a long time! Whether you're looking for children and family games, party/card games, or games of strategy, IELLO has a wide variety of really cool games to choose from. Check out three of the games we're gifting this year below!
Children's Game
Sticky Chameleons
This is a great game that the little ones can play with the whole family! It's a high energy, fast-paced game where players need to have the sharpest eyes and quickest hands to toss their best "tongue shot" and catch an insect. When tongues get tangled, it brings a lot of laughs. For every insect caught, win a Yummy token. The first player to gather 5 Yummy tokens wins the game. Be sure to avoid licking up a wasp so you don't get "stung"! Players: 2-6, Ages: 6+, Play Time: 15 min
Contents
- 12 sticky tongues
- 30 Insect tokens
- 6 Wasp tokens
- 30 Yummy tokens
- 1 Insect die
- 1 Color die
- 1 rulebook

Strategy Game
This game is perfect for strategy lovers in your family! Players sail from island to island collecting vikings and treasure to conquer enemies in battle and fight monsters. Be prepared to battle it out to claim locations and commandeer ships to get your opponents to flee! The player with the most Glory points at the end of the fourth Voyage wins the game. Players can accomplish a full game in around 40 minutes time. This game is recommended for 204 players ages 10 and up, but with a little extra guidance, we expect our younger kiddos to be able to participate, too.
