[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to the old excuse that your dog ate your homework, there is already a silly picture in your head. The toy – or rather board game? – The Dog Ate My Homework takes the general silly idea and makes it into a quick to learn, easy to play tabletop game where your child can feed a toy dog drawings and watch them get all scrambled up. The game comes with a bunch of papers with different drawings, a dog that you put together, treat tokens, and instructions. We played this game at our local Geek Retreat on one of our board game nights after school.

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to teenagers and tweens, especially boys, there isn’t a lot out there to buy for them. I think it’s just the age group; they become extremely challenging to purchase gifts or to have interest in anything really.

[Ad- gifted product] On our bi-weekly board game night at Geek Retreat, we sat down to play Oh My Pigeons! This board game is one we saw at the Christmas Press Show before Christmas of last year, and got an adorable key chain stuffed animal of. Robin, who loves birds, was quite interested in the sound of the game, especially after having the plush key chain for so long. It’s a silly game where you find yourself trying to fill up a coop of pigeons.

[Ad- gifted product] Another board game for our by-weekly tabletop night as a family, this time with a favorite theme; drawing. Though Ghosts Can’t Draw is marketed as for Halloween, our family really love board games about drawing like Ten Second Scribble or Scribble Shake Down, so our girls were very excited about Ghosts Can’t Draw. This game is sort of inspired by an Ouija board, but where one of you are the ghosts!

[Ad- gifted product] We have a small collection of games that I would call silly. These are the ones that we often see younger ones playing again and again, on their own, as it’s just something so silly they they enjoy playing around with them. Don’t Be a Scaredy Bear is a silly game where you need to pull plasters off of a big bear, who can freak out if you find yourself pulling the plaster off too roughly.
