TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!

What It Is
Distraction is a card game that tests players' memory skills. The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards. Players take turns drawing and laying down number cards in the center of the playing surface and remembering the growing sequence of digits. For example, the first player lays down a 1 and says, "1." The second player lays down a 3 and says, "1, 3." If you draw a Distraction card, you must answer a quirky question (such as "If you could eat any food right now, what would it be?") or perform a task before reciting the numbers in order. Get caught repeating the sequence incorrectly, and you have to pick up the cards in the center of the table to add to your hand. The first player to run out of cards wins. Distraction includes 54 round number cards and 50 rectangular Distraction cards with 100 questions. The game is for two or more players.
Why It’s Fun
Distraction adds a new twist to memory games with the Distraction cards. The questions are silly and challenge players to work those memory skills so the question doesn't distract them and make them forget the number sequence.
Who It’s For
Distraction is for ages 8 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Distraction can be played with two players, but we think it's more fun with three to six players.
