If you follow The Game Aisle on Facebook then you already know that I won the Wonder Woman in Toys award for Social Media given by Women in Toys during Toy Fair last month— and you’re probably sick of hearing about it! But give me 2 more seconds on the topic.

Dave Herbert sent a message to me after finding The Game Aisle via my Global Toy News interview (see HERE) and asked if I’d like to try a copy of his “fast paced trivia game for smart AND stupid people!” Well I thought, I don’t think I have many games on the site for stupid people – so I had to try this one out.
While I couldn’t find any stupid people to test it for me, I did use some relatively smart ones (truthfully, they’d kill me if I …
