Note:  This giveaway is a part of the Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival!  Thanks for stopping by, and be sure and visit all of the other great giveaways going on as a part of the Carnival!

Face Off FrenzyI have a confession to make.  I have a competitive side – and um, it can get pretty intense.  It doesn’t usually appear during important times in my life when a little competition could actually benefit me, like vying for the best grade average in school or some other time when competition could have actually been “productive”.  Oh no, my competitive side comes out during silly things like video games, and *ahem* AIR HOCKEY.

No need to re-read that bit, I definitely said Air Hockey.  Think what you will — but I grit my teeth and play air hockey like it’s nobody’s business.  I can thank my mom for that — she is the one who taught me to play, and taught me to love it.  Oh yeah, and she never “let” me win.  If I won against her – it was because I earned it!  Of course, an air hockey table was a bit of a large thing to keep in the house growing up, so we only got to play the occasional game, but it was still a blast.

Oooh but wait!  FunSlides came up with a solution that makes my 8 year old self (and, um, perhaps even my 26 year old self) VERY happy.  Called Face-Off Frenzy, it is basically like air hockey, except it’s portable, easily stored and uses powerbands instead of electricity (no electric whirr).  It is so so cool, and it really emulates the speed of real air hockey!  It can be played on all indoor surfaces- a table, hardwood floor or carpeting and is perfect for kids and adults. Check out the video below to see how it works!
