It’s time to vote for the best toys of the year!

On Friday, Feb. 12, the next Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards will be distributed virtually during a special online presentation. After carefully examining the nominees, a panel of industry experts determined this year’s 117 finalists across 16 categories. One winner in each category, along with the consumer-chosen People’s Choice Award and the overall Toy of the Year Award, will be presented in February. Now it’s your chance to vote for your favorites!

For Your Consideration: Game of the Year

Drone Home (PlayMonster)
Race to launch your aliens down the ramps and land inside the drone! Watch out — there’s a delay once you make it in, so others can knock you out. If you stay in and your alien escapes when the drone lifts off, you’re one step closer to winning! Get rid of all your aliens first to win. It’s fast-paced fun for the whole family, and it’s the first game to include a real, flying drone.
Ages: 8+
MSRP: $21.99
