Junior Colourbrain – Questions about Colors

Posted on September 4, 2024September 18, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] We are always looking for more family games to play together, especially when on holiday. This year, during our weekend away at Waxham Sands, we took along Junior Colourbrain. This is a card based game that’s quite small, so easy to pack and take with you anywhere. The game itself is two player or divide everyone into teams of two. The concept its very simple and the amount of cards you do need to play with aren’t too many, making it ideal for on the go gameplay.

Pencil Nose – Drawing with your Nose!

Posted on August 23, 2024September 8, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to games, we often play a lot of board games as a family and have moved towards toys that can be played together instead of individually. Pencil Nose could be considered a tabletop game, but in a more children’s toy sense, sort of like Pictionary, but with it’s own unique twist! Whether it’s a board game or a collective toy, we did have a ton of fun playing it together!

History Heroes: A Little Slice of History – Learning Card Game

Posted on August 14, 2024September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] If you are a frequent reader on our blog, you know we try out a new board game or card game every single Monday that Kai has DnD. Kai goes to our local Geek Retreat, and we all grab milkshakes and play a few rounds of something before his DnD starts. Robin, Amelia, Dann and I all took along the tiny box that contains History Heroes: A Little Slice of History. This box is small enough to fit in any bag or purse and simple enough to bring around with you when going out and about.

Happy Salmon – Moving Around and Being Silly

Posted on August 7, 2024August 28, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Happy Salmon isn’t the normal type of card game we play at our local Geek Retreat. It’s one that might benefit from more space and not having a table in the middle of you. That said, as someone who has played it both ways, I do prefer having a table as a sort of middle ground, as otherwise people can get all in each other’s spaces and hard to move around! But, let’s get into the game.

Exploding Kittens – Easy, Luck-Based Card Game

Posted on July 19, 2024August 8, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like everyone has heard of Exploding Kittens, a card game known for having cute yet strange cat-related artwork on each one! Exploding Kittens is created by the same developers as Power Hungry Pets, but was their first ever tabletop game. Somehow, we have never played Exploding Kittens; likely as when the game came out, it would have been too complex for Robin. As we have all grown older, it made sense to finally pick up a copy and play it for ourselves.
