[Ad- gifted products] I feel like Spy Guy Fantasy is the perfect version of Spy Guy for our family. We took this tabletop game to our bi-weekly Geek Retreat board game night, where we spread it out onto the table. Amelia and Robin commented on how our board games have been on the longer side physically lately, taking up more and more of the table. This game was another that took up a big spread, with each of us sitting around it.
[Ad- gifted product] We’ve tested a few different types of frisbees in our time, so we were pretty excited to see a new frisbee in time for the summer weather! We often spend time in our town centre and at the beach, so we often have a small number of toys that we carry around in the car, just in case we want to play. The Air Square is a new contender, so we took it to the town centre to see if it was really as good as the packaging said.
[Ad- gifted product] Another Geek Retreat tabletop night has come around and this time Robin was super excited to play Don’t Panic, as it’s a game that takes batteries.

Don’t Panic is a card game where you have a buzzer and timer, which is what needs the batteries, and otherwise is a pretty straightforward game.

Then, outside the house, there is a bunch of trees and garden items placed in a specific order. Meeples start off at the other end of the board, opposite of the house, so that you can see the garden from the house window.

Robin is obsessed with Dog Man. She has all the books in the series, has played tons of the video game, and now we have started collecting the board games as well. Dog Man is a comic series, if you aren’t familiar, that’s got a silly dog-cop character that is often getting up to mischief! As someone whos read all of the books, she was excited to start playing the board games. During one of our by-weekly board game days at Geek Retreat, she picked Dog Man The Flip-O-Rama Game, which has a bell in it. This is primarily why she picked it!
