[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to card games that can work on the go, there aren’t actually a lot of options. Shaggy Dog Stories Game Pod is actually designed for on the go play, though we have mostly played it in our living room, we can see exactly how much though was put into the design of this packaging to ensure that you can play it on the go.
Shaggy Dog Stories is a card game where you draw a card. There are two different groups of words on these cards. You can pick which grouping of words you would like to use, for example; Fly Swat, Baby Bouncer and Python, and then create a story with them. Then, the rest of your friends need to guess what the words are that you are creating the story with! It’s as simple and easy as that. The story can be short or long, it can be more random or tight to the subject, it’s really up to you.
The game itself is great for all ages, really, as long as they can read. Robin and Amelia particularly love playing this card game, as they love making up wacky stories and don’t even focus on guessing which words they are, but instead giving feedback on what parts of the story stick out a little too much, so that they can become masters at story telling. Shaggy Dog Stories Game Pod allows all of the cards to be stored in a plastic, durable case. This case opens up at the top, so you could pull the entire deck out, however it then shuts through a magnetic connection – which is quite clever. The pod doesn’t actually need to be opened, however, instead you can slide a card out the front and then slide it in at the back of the deck, that way you don’t end up pulling out cards recently used.
A lot of the collections of words in the Shaggy Dog Stories Game Pod don’t connect together easily, which brings a lot of fun and challenge to the game. Honestly, it’s super funny to listen to what our children come up with, when trying to string together a narrative involving all three of these words, in a way that doesn’t feel too outlandish! It’s an ideal game for long car rides and for times between going out – like when one child is getting ready still but the other two are ready, as they can then tell you a story.
