A lazy week in Boston with The Great Family Escape meant we got to revisit the fun of board games!!
We love games but had got out of the habit of playing them at home.? Then we had our garage sale and sold almost all our games!
Heidi loves games and they have a huge collection of cool games we had never seen!
We played Ratuki, a realy cool card game that anyone can master in just a couple of minutes.? It?s a bit like speed.? We are going to buy our own copy of this as soon as we come across it!!
The kids played Uno Moo ? A cool game for smaller kids ? definitely recommend this one too!? It has little animals that go inside a barn every time you match the colour or animal.
Zoolaretto was another new one.? Everyone has?zoo animals that they need to load into trucks.? It uses cards, coins etc to fill up the trucks and move the animals into your zoo.? It seemed really fun (I was writing a post instead of playing ? bad?Tracey!)? And again was really easy to learn.
The last one was Settlers of Catan.? As I?m writing this Gert is saying ?we have to get that one!?? The cool thing about this game is the board changes each time you play it.? So no two games are ever the same.
Justin said everyone would be thinking about this long after they went to bed and he was right!? This one got a run 2 nights in a row ? poor Justin and Heidi could not get an early night while we were with them!!
It was so nice to see the kids playing games again.? We all play lots of games on our iPads but it?s not the same as good old fashioned board games!? As long as someone else sets them up, I?m happy to play!
When we visited FAO Schwartz in New York right after Boston we spotted the Settlers of Catan but managed to get out of the store without buying it.? We seriously don?t have any room or weight left to carry a board game!
Actually we just found Settlers of Catan on iPad?.hmmmm?think that?s $5 well spent!!
For anyone at home however, if you see any of these games in your local store I highly recommend you grab them and take them home!
