Flip 7 – Counting Cards to Win

[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to card games, we play a select few of them at our board game night at Geek Retreat. We often have board games or dice games that have card-related aspects to them, but we don’t find many card games themselves. It feels like the market is full of the same old, so when someone said Flip 7 was “better than Uno” I was really curious to see what my children thought of it. I must say, however, that Flip 7 is hyped up A LOT. And, that sort of hype, had us all having such a high expectation.

A More Traditional Dinner at Grätzlheuriger

When it comes to Austria, I hadn’t really known what was traditional and what was not. I’ve been to Germany a handful of times, which feels similar in vibes, so was excited to try some more traditional food when visiting Austria. When we landed, we went to Grätzlheuriger, which has Austrian and Slovak food. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and quant, which feels traditional, without being flashy. The staff were very kind to us English speakers and gave us English menus, that also had a picture side, which was very helpful as some of the translations were a bit perplexing to me!

Ding Dong Dim Sum Set Boxes – Perfect for Date Night

[Ad- gifted product] Dann and I are big food lovers, especially Asian food. Though we are known to go out quite a bit, it’s fun to mix things up and have an at home date night from time to time. Especially as we are both people who work from home, and with kids to feed in the evening, having a little at home date night box full of food for a lunchtime date is sometimes absolutely perfect. That’s exactly what we did with our Ding Dong Dim Sum Set box – we went with the Legends box – which was so much fun!

Dog Man: The Hot Dog Card Game – Quick and Fun

[Ad – Gifted Product] When it comes to card games, I really do love card games that are in a tin! The Dog Man: The Hot Dog Card Game is one such game – the tin making it very easy to bring out and about with you. I find card games like this to be perfect for little moments between activities, as the game itself isn’t that long, but it’s an entertaining and fun one where everyone can play together. If you aren’t familiar with Dog Man, the comic book character, this game is still fine to play.
