My family was sent the Angry Birds Go! Jenga Pirate Pig Attack Game from Hasbro Toys , which is available at Toys R Us, Amazon and other retailers for $29.99. The game has a pirate theme, which my boys love, so winner winner chicken dinner on point one! The game is fast paced, has you loading and launching the pigs and attacking the mean old pirate ship. The aim of the game is to knock off the birds who are on their perches on the ship. Once you have overcome and knock down the ship, you have won the game. If you have an angry birds game fan in your house, they will really appreciate and enjoy this game.
