Worm Up! – On your mark, get set, slow
When you were a kid and it rained, did you ever go out to race boats in the gutter?
We did a bunch. We’d pick up some twigs and race each other while walking along on the sidewalk seeing who gets stuck and who sails to victory. And while we’d walk along we’d have to watch out for all the worms on the sidewalk. We sure didn’t want to step on any.
But not once did we ever think about racing the worms…until now.
So how do you race worms? Check it out this video review of Worm Up! and you’ll find out:
Can the whole family enjoy Worm Up!?
Sure. But I’ll bet the kids will like it more.
Yes, adults can get competitive and focus on blocking each other to add to their own fun, but that’s not who we’re playing it with. This is one of those games that if the kids are enjoying it, then we’ll play along. But you won’t see mom and dad pulling it out on our own.
Worm Up! is a good board game for kids:
- Simple play mechanics
- Simple decisions
- Every gets to play each turn
- It’s not long
- It’s colorful
- And it has a funny theme
Actually, is it really a family board game at all?
As you can see in the video review, there really isn’t any board to speak of. I guess that’s why there are many people now using the term ‘table-top games’. Worm Up! is definitely a family table-top game. But since we’re the Board Game Family we’re going to still throw it in with our board game video reviews.
