Batman Fluxx game review

With the humongous rise in Superhero movies over the last number of years, we could probably dub this the Superhero Decade. Or knowing that even more will be flooding the movies screens in the coming years, the Superhero Century!

But even though we may not like the extreme glut of superhero movies on the horizons, we have to admit that we’re still suckers for superheroes!

My personal favorite is Spiderman. Just because I think climbing on walls and swinging all over the place would be totally awesome!
Coming in at a close second would be Batman (thanks to Batman Begins).

So with a Batman Fluxx card game staring at me, of course I’m going to dive in!

But in King of New York, players don’t just battle each other for supremacy. Now they also get to destroy buildings and fight back against the military onslaught.

This coming weekend is Father’s Day.

It’s the day we give a big shout out to fathers everywhere.

Kudos to all the great dads out there who are doing their best to raise their children to be solid contributors in the world.

Cash ‘n Guns party game review

Cash ‘n Guns is a party game that our whole family enjoys playing. However, we also know many may be turned off by it. I was one of those until I played it.

I really can’t imagine playing this game with young kids.
And I don’t ever plan on doing so.

But with teenagers and for Guys Game Night, absolutely. It’s a riot.

Choosing a Family Board Game

We’ve been doing board game and card game reviews for more than 5 years and are extremely familiar with how many games there are to choose from. We’ve posted both video and written reviews of only about 250 games.

But even still, our current game review list of 250 games presents a lot of fun games to choose from. So taking some time to think through these 5 Steps to Choosing the Right Board Game before buying a game is a great process we highly recommend.

Celebrate Time for Mom

You know what would be really cool?

If we could have either Friday or Monday as a holiday to make it a 3-day weekend for mom!

Sunday May 10th is Mother’s Day in the U.S. and it’s such a wonderful time to pay homage to our mothers. Wouldn’t it be so cool to have it also be a 3-day weekend instead of just one day?

5 Traits That Make a Great Family Game

With thousands of new board games and card games published every year, there’s no shortage of game possibilities to play. But with so many choices, it can be a daunting task to narrow it down to just a few games to get.

In an effort to help make the right selection, it’s human nature to order items in groups and subgroups. And it’s no different with board games and card games.

In all the grouping and sub-grouping of board games and card games, perhaps the one that causes the most questions is the common label of “Family Game”.

So what makes a great Family Game?

To find out, we tapped the experts – our kids. And here are the top 5 traits they feel make a great family game.
