Game Descriptions:

Inspector Cyndi in Newport Games
Newport, Rhode Island in the 1890's is the summer home to the Astors,
Vanderbilts, and Morgans, the Worthingtons, Statelys, and the Huffingtons.
You are a Detective with the Newport Police. Inspector Cyndi is a world
famous crime solver on loan from Vienna, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
here to
assist you.
Travel around Newport questioning witnesses. Meet the wealthy families who
inhabit the mansions on Bellevue Avenue, their servants, and the Irish
immigrant
community that lives in the rest of the city.
Identify the Culprit. Determine their Motive, Opportunity, and Method. Solve
the crime.

Inspector Cyndi in Newport - The Unfinished Symphony
Ages 10 to Adult
Mrs. Worthington's toy symphony was going along splendidly until the trumpet
player keeled over into the potted palm. Constable Duffy suspects foul play!
Was it Miss Alice Chalmers, the French teacher? Or one of the unhappy hired
musicians. Was it the Graphin Josepha von Vogelhuber? And just what is a
Graphin,
anyway?

Inspector Cyndi in Newport - When Irish Spies are Smiling
Ages 10 to Adult
Who stole Mr. Holland's submarine? Was it those Irish nationalists, up to
their tricks again?

You'll have to ask Fineus the Fiendish Fenian, if you can find him. Murphy
at the Hibernians might have a word or two to contribute.
And then there's the question of who was singing down at the Torpedo Station
the night of the 23rd.
Your nation needs your detective skills to solve this mystery. Are you up to
it?
Question witnesses and suspects around Newport. Maybe Inspector Cyndi can
offer you some help.

Tyler Games

Master the Tyler puzzles - Entertaining mind exercises that challenge your
brain, not your twitch.
Easy to play, at the first level. Maddening at the tenth level.

Orchestra
The instruments play when you select them. But can you remember their
original order?
Orchestra challenges your spatial memory.
There are ten levels, each with an increasing number of objects to remember
and place in their original sequence.
Of course, you could select the Easy button and reduce the number by half.

Snowflake
Ages: 7 to Adult
Strengthen your memory.
In this game a Snowflake is an ordered set of images or numbers.
You memorize the Snowflake.
Then you select the Snowflake you memorized from a set of Snowflakes.
It's easy when there are just two small Snowflakes.
But can you do it when there are FIVE very complex but similar Snowflakes to
choose from?
And can you do it against the clock?

WOOPLE Games
Word games to challenge your mind and vocabulary.

You never know when something you learn here might be useful.

The Definition Game
Ages: 10 to Adult
How sharp is your knowledge of what words mean?
The Definition game will improve your understanding of the meaning of words.
Select the definition that best fits with the displayed word.
If you guess wrong, the game lets you try again until you get it right.
Though you do lose points.
Speed and accuracy will give you the highest score

Subject: [Nfbf-l] accessable games?

Hi all,
As some of you know I am very new to this list and the NFB as well.  I have 
a question that I am sure some of you can help me with.  What is available 
in multi person games, board type games or any other kind in some kind of 
accessable form?   Before I totally lost my sight I used to enjoy playing 
battle ship, manopoly etc.  It was something I enjoyed shairing with my wife 
that I can no longer do. I also have two grand sons who are getting old 
enough to do similar things with which I obviously would love to do.  Are 
there audible games for game consoules like the We or play station? Is there 
an audable basketball backboard/hoop and some kind of beeping basketball or 
a ball with a bell in it like for Goal ball? Any suggestions would 
wonderful.
Thanks in advance.
Bill
