It’s party time – R U ready for FURT?

We’ll tell you right up front that FURT is a wacky party game.
Of course, that shouldn’t be any surprise if you’re familiar with Wiggity Bang Games.

Wiggity Bang games are not deep thinking, strategic board games. Instead, Wiggity Bang games are meant to bring out the party in everyone. They’re the original publishers of Quelf and Quelf Jr. which were a big hit and subsequently acquired by a larger game company.

And with FURT, they’re at it again.

Board game blowout weekend

Our nephew (and cousin) returned last week from his 2 year church mission and we got to spend the extended weekend with their family catching up on many things as well as playing lots of board games!

Knowing that we’d be spending a long weekend at their home, and that Jake loves playing board games, we had the tough choice of which games we should first introduce him to upon his return. We wanted to take games he’d already be familiar with, but we also wanted to play games that we’ve added to our game shelves over the last 2 years that we thought he’d love.

You can be the King of Tokyo

Are you ready for a battle for supremacy in Tokyo? Not the kind of supremacy that takes a lot of strategic thinking and maneuvering. But a battle of supremacy with monsters storming Tokyo and knocking each other out.

Then you’ll love King of Tokyo.

Wits and Wagers Party is another big hit

Wits and Wagers Party is another fantastic family party game from North Star Games! It brings the best of both worlds from the original Wits & Wagers game and the Wits & Wagers Family Edition, but adds a twist that we really like.

Anomia causes Brain-Freeze

According to the game designers, the definitions for Anomia are: “1) A problem with word finding or recall. 2) Chaos. 3) The game where common knowledge becomes uncommonly fun!”

After playing Anomia a number of times, I think you could add to those definitions, “4) The party game where people jump out of their chairs, point frantically, stutter in loud outbursts, and experience brain-freeze.”

Board games played, a Mid-Year Report

One of the indicators of our favorite board games and card games is how many times we play a game. However, that’s not always the best indicator because the length of time it takes to play a game is also a big factor in how often we play it. But it’s a good starting point.
