 | Stacrobats by Ravensburger ($14.99) Practice hand-eye coordination while having big-top fun with the Stacrobats balancing game. Start with the sturdy black plastic base, then build a crazy tower of acrobats using the brightly colored 6-inch pieces. Each one must hang or stand on the rest without causing the whole bunch to topple. This, of course, gets progressively more challenging; the more players, the merrier. The 33 pieces are sturdy and attractive, with plenty of hooks and holes for wild 3-D stacking. Tension builds throughout, and a steady hand is harder to come by as the game progresses, but a calm mind can win the game.

 | Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Game by Hasbro ($49.99) While Luke Skywalker needed to use only the force in his training to become a Jedi knight (like his morally ambivalent and intermittently evil father), you will need a television set with AV inputs, an RF adaptor if your TV doesn’t have those, and four AA batteries which are not included in this challenging lightsaber battle game. Simply plug in the training droid and hoist the rather dinky sword as you follow along on the TV adventures. You get a chance to fight against an array of bad guys like Jango Fett, Darth Maul, Emperor Palpatine (don’t let appearances fool you, he’s spry), and Anakin Skywalker while you fight alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, and others.
