Chitag means "Chicago Toy & Game Fair"

...which I attended today and in the following days, we will be reviewing and giving away some great toys/games/DVDs which were all featured at this year's Chicago Toy and Game Fair.


It was overwhelming walking around, learning about all of these awesome inventors and products. We were given first-hand previews of games that are not found on the shelves of your regular chain retail stores and we can't wait to share them with you!

So, that being said...stay tuned for MTW's "Games for Giving" series! Lots of great prizes to win and fabulous companies to learn about just in time for the holidays.

The purpose of the MTW "Games for Giving" contest series is for us to give you (our loyal MTW readers) some great ideas for gift-giving this holiday season. We will tell you about the companies and the products they have to offer; you explore their website a little and enter for MULTIPLE chances to win some fun things!

Let us hip you to the rules:

Day one. Review and prize are posted. Contest runs for (X) number of days. Enter THIS CONTEST, EACH DAY for the duration of the contest for multiple chances to win!
Day two. Review and new prizes are posted. Contest runs for (X) number of days. Enter THIS CONTEST, EACH DAY for the duration of the contest for multiple chances to win!
Day three. Review and new prizes are posted. Contest runs for (X) number of days. Enter THIS CONTEST, EACH DAY for the duration of the contest for multiple chances to win!

...and so on for the other four unique prizes. We will only accept ONE entry per day, per person, per prize. Each day has it's own unique review and prize.

Get it? You can enter EACH contest, ONCE PER DAY until its end date. We'll give specific information as to how to enter each contest in that day's review. Only prizes with the "Games for Giving" banner count for these rules. The ? will be replaced with that day's number (i.e. Day 1, Day 2, Day 3...).

I am bursting at the seams and can't wait to review and post everything as soon as possible! The reps from these toy and game companies really deserve so much credit and we hope to do them justice here on MTW. There will be a lot of caffeine flowing early this week in order to find the time and energy between my 1st job, parenting, and my part-time paying job to bring all of this "fun stuff" to you asap!

Don't forget, you heard it here first. =)
