[Ad- gifted products] Another Monday has passed, and we did our normal thing of playing a new card game down at our local Geek Retreat! Armed with some milkshakes, Amelia and I played Cat Days while Dann and Robin played Woof Days. These are a two player card games that are quite easy to learn and simple to play again and again! Both of the games are created by Farplace, an animal rescue, with the money raised from these cards going towards the care of various rescue animals. They also have a board game we previously reviewed.

Unicorn Scarf – Perfect for Cold Evenings
[Ad- gifted products] Robin is a lover of accessories. If something is cute, functional and fun, she likely wants it! When she saw the Unicorn Scarf from Wicked Uncle, she was all over it. We go out to Christmas All Wrapped Up each year, and Robin really wanted to do a little photoshoot there while picking out our Christmas tree. As it gets colder, having a scarf is such a fun idea, especially if the scarf is sort of like a plushie that you get to wear on your neck.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game – Bikini Bottom is Back!
[Ad- gifted product] We are a big gaming family, possibly due to the fact that Dann and I both work in games so are always playing games anyway.

Spying the Riddles in Riddle Pics Foodcourt Frenzy
[Ad- gifted product] We tend to play board games on our bi-weekly Girls Night on Mondays at our local Geek Retreat, but this week we decided to go with something a little different. Instead of setting up a board game, we set up Riddle Pics Foodcourt Frenzy – one of the food riddle maps in Big Potato Games’ series of them. They’ve created a puzzle series where you build puzzles then find the riddles, but the Riddle Pics have a giant picture that you can then use to find lots of riddles.

Good Face Bad Face requires a Poker Face
[Ad- gifted product] Our bi-weekly, family board game session, after school, at Geek Retreat featured Good Face Bad Face this time! Kai was already all settled into his Kids DnD session before Amelia, Dann, Robin and I started playing our game. Good Face Bad Face is pretty simple in concept – just containing a deck of cards. All you need to do is collect four Good Face cards to win the entire game. But, you don’t have much control on what you get!
