Mattel is launching Angry Birds Knock on Wood, a board game based on the massively popular Angry Birds video game.
This game cost you $14.99, it is coming in May 2011. The game comes with small plastic versions of the Angry Birds characters--both birds and pigs--as well as a slingshot and blocks for creating the pigs' fortresses. One player picks one of the 56 "mission cards," then the other player builds the structure shown on the card, which the first player has several turns to knock down using the birds shown on the card. The first player to score 1,000 points wins.
You get a set of 14 Jenga-ish bricks, a couple of the hilarious green pigs, as well as the red bird, yellow bird and black birds to lob at them - sorry, none of the tiny blue birds, the egg laying monster or the boomerang toucans. As for the catapult, it's not actually an elastic band on a slingshot: the whole catapult is made of plastic, and pulls back at the base to send the irate bird flying.

I think the concept of this toy is really fun, and my kids certainly enjoy it although you need to be prepared to search around for scattered pieces if you don't have a restricted area for shooting the birds. I find shooting toward a rug or on a table with a tablecloth keeps them from ricocheting all over the room.
