Don’t get Dementia – Play Board Games!

I love it when I’m flipping through the newspaper while I eat breakfast and come across an article on board games! Even when it covers something I know well – like today’s article on the Family Benefits of Board Games – it’s just great to see it published for more people to come to understand.

Pentago Multiplayer – Twisting fun for more

Taking a fun 2-player abstract strategy board game and turning it into a similarly fun abstract strategy board game for more players can be difficult. But the folks at Mindtwister managed to make it work well with Pentago Multiplayer.

Just over a year ago we reviewed Pentago and we gave it high marks for a number of reasons. Pentago Multiplayer has all those and more.

iota Card Game Review

Many years ago Michelle and I played a card game at a friend’s house that required quick visual recognition to spot sets of 3 cards that were either all the same or all different in each of 4 characteristics. The card game was Set and I loved it while Michelle didn’t care for it.

Teach kids how to work

As much as we like to promote family board games, we also realize that life isn’t all fun and games. Spending your time just playing games all day won’t amount to a very fulfilling life. And as parents, our job is to help our kids lead a productive and fulfilling life.

That’s why one of our most important roles as parents is to teach our kids to value work.

Let’s get creative – Morphology Junior

Kids love using their imagination to create stuff.
That’s why LEGOS are such a hit. Give a kid a tub of LEGOS and they can build all sorts of stuff.

Morphology Junior is a family board game that taps into that creative imagination and turns it into a game. But rather than just having blocks to build with, Morphology Jr includes a variety of objects that players use to build things.

The Big Fat Tomato Game – Fun to harvest

We think it’s funny with a board game has the word “game” right in the title of the game. So when we saw The Big Fat Tomato Game by Gamewright we knew it had to be something lighthearted and funny.

If you know anything about Gamewright games, you’ll know they’re all about publishing family games. And The Big Fat Tomato Game is no different. It’s targeted directly at families everywhere (you don’t have to be farmers).
