Amass Millions in Cover Your A$$ets

How would you like to become a millionaire in under 30 minutes?

Well, at the rate you can stack up assets in Cover Your Assets, you’ll have a great chance of getting to a million in no time.

Of course, those around you may be a bit jealous and will look to swipe some of those assets out from under you in their own rush to get to $1,000,000.

It all comes down to how you play your cards.

It’s time to dive into this fast and fun card game of asset acquisition!

The Game Canopy Deep Space game bag review

One of our favorite game accessories (if you could call it an accessory) is our Game Canopy game bag.

Any time we want to take some games with us — whether on vacation, or to grandma’s house, or to a game convention, or over to a buddy’s house for game night — we fill our Game Canopy with games and we’re on our way!

While the Game Canopy can fit a bunch of games, not all game boxes are created equal. And unfortunately, this means some of the games we may like to take for a game night away just won’t fit in the Game Canopy.

Well, that’s now a concern of the past — because The Game Canopy Deep Space game bag is set to release!

Clank!, Clank!, and more Clank!

What’s with all this clanking around?

When you’re making such noise, you’re sure to draw the attention of the big bad boss and make it much harder to steal his loot and escape.

Well, you truly can’t avoid being noisy when you’re playing Clank!

But that’s the fun of it!

Whether you’re playing Clank! or Clank! In! Space!, you’re in for a fun adventure that adds flare to deck-building.

Fun head-to-head tree growing in Kodama Duo

It’s a new year in the forest of Kodama and time for a friendly competition to see who can grow the best tree for the tree spirits.

Will you be the caretaker who grows your sapling into the most attractive tree (and scores the most points)?

Maybe it’s time you found out.

Record numbers at SaltCon 2019!

Another super fun weekend of board gaming at SaltCon is in the books!

I look forward to SaltCon with high anticipation every year and it never disappoints.

And that’s exactly how I’m feeling again looking back on last weekend of fun board gaming with friends and strangers.

SaltCon is our local board game convention that rolls around the first weekend of March. And like the previous years, it continues to hit record numbers.

For SaltCon 2019, more than 1,900 people came for the fun!

Here’s my quick run down on the 20+ games I played over the couple days I was there.

Make time for a Dinosaur Tea Party

When was the last time you had tea with dinosaurs?

If your answer is “never”, then it’s time to change that!

Dinosaur Tea Party is a fantastic family game of deduction that everyone can enjoy playing.

It’s also another game that quickly jumped into one of our most-played games of 2018!

Skull King is totally King in our family

When a game takes over almost all our family game time, it must mean it’s time to review it.

And while we have a large stack of games on our “to review” shelf, some games just shoot right to the top of the stack.

Such is the case with Skull King!

2018 – Year in Review

Happy New Year!

We’re not sure if 2018 flew by for you, but it sure seemed like it did for us. We passed a number of milestones as a family this year. And we ended 2018 with a bang by taking a family vacation over Christmas and into the New Year. It’s so great to all be together again.

But before we dive into the new year, let’s take a look back at 2018.

Fuji Flush is my most-played game of the year!

As the days tick down for 2018, I was glancing over my list of games played this year and noticed an injustice. I’ve neglected to post a review of my most-played game of the year!

It’s a shame really. But there’s still time to right that wrong.

It’s time for Fuji Flush to take its well-deserved place among the great family games we’ve reviewed!

(And letting you know about it in time to get it for your family for Christmas.)
