Angry Birds: Knock on Wood

Your favorite app comes to life with Mattel's Angry Birds: Knock On Wood board game. The blockbuster mobile game, a never-ending battle between circular, winged little grumps and nefarious, architecture-lovin' swine, was the runaway digital hit of 2010, spawning a line of physical products, including this game. To play the analog version of the app, one player draws a construction card and builds the structure shown, while the opponent loads a bird into the launcher to demolish the newly built habitat. Yes, slinging those grouchy little birds with a catapult-like launcher across the room is just as satisfying as it is on your phone, which hopefully means those little hands always reaching for your device will be otherwise occupied.

Price: $15, Mattel
