Jamie's Toy Box

Jamie's Toy Box looks like a children's title, and that is probably the right place to start: it sounds aimed at younger players or families, not at people chasing depth. By our assessment, the appeal would come from simple toy-like play and a friendly surface rather than from complex rules or sharp challenge. The downside is the obvious one for this kind of game: if the toy-box idea is all it has, the experience can run out of steam fast. In practice, this sort of game usually lives or dies on how clearly it explains itself and how much repeated fiddling it asks for. It sits in the broad casual end of the field, closer to small family software than to anything demanding. Jamie's Toy Box is the sort of thing to pick for a light session with a child, not for a player who wants systems to chew on.
