    Blogger Board Game Club: Ticket to Ride

    September 20, 2019 - By 

    Now the kids are back to school we have resurrected our regular Friday night family game night. We are a family that loves to play games, board games or online games, it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s something we can do together. Our latest #gifted game from the Blogger Board Game Club was Ticket to Ride. We reviewed Ticket to Ride Europe last year and it quickly became one of our favourite family board games. We soon added Ticket to Ride United Kingdom to our collection. It’s one of those games which is quite quick and easy to…

    Blogger Board Game Club: Timeline: Science Museum

    July 20, 2019 - By 

    Our latest #gifted game from the Blogger Board Game Club was Timeline: Science Museum. This is a portable card game which I thought would be great for my science-mad children. We are always on the lookout for new games and I liked the sound of this because it was small, educational and could be played in 15 minutes. Blogger Board Game Club: Timeline: Science Museum Was the first Electric Iron invented before or after the lightbulb? But what if it was actually dated somewhere between the development of canned food and the flying scotsman’s first journey? And was Uranus discovered…

    Blogger Board Game Club: House of Danger

    April 27, 2019 - By 

    Our latest game from the Blogger Board Game Club was House of Danger, based on the book by R.A. Montgomery. When I first saw the game it immediately made me think of the story books I read as a child, the ones with multiple possible endings where you choose your own adventure. I loved that kind of book and saw that the game was billed as a cooperative adventure game by Prospero Hall. Blogger Board Game Club: House of Danger Although the game is recommended for ages 10 and over our children really wanted to play it with us. They…

    Blogger Board Game Club Review: Exploding Kittens

    March 7, 2019 - By 

    Our latest game from the Blogger Board Game Club was the brilliant Exploding Kittens. Have you heard of it before? It was funded on Kickstarter a few years ago and is hugely popular. My husband had heard of it but I hadn’t so I was really looking forward to trying it. It’s a simple card game  – or is it? Blogger Board Game Club Review: Exploding Kittens The premise is simple – you are dealt a number of cards. You take it in turns to place and draw cards until you pick an Exploding Kitten card. Then you explode, and…

    February 6, 2019 - By 

    Is anyone else glad that January is over? It felt like a long month, one that we got through by playing copious games and finishing off the Christmas chocolates.

    December 11, 2018 - By 

    We are counting down the days until the Christmas holidays begin. Both children had their Christmas plays today and are looking really tired. We have been making lots of time to relax and wind down after school, and have been enjoying games of SET.

    November 27, 2018 - By 

    We’ve been working with Asmodee and are members of their Blogger Board Game Club, reviewing some classic and new family games. My children love to play all kinds of games and we’ve had lots of fun with Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne and Dixit amongst others. We were recently sent Cobra Paw to review and tell you about. Blogger Board Game Club review: Cobra Paw My children are big fans of Lego Ninjago so loved the look of Cobra Paw. The 6-sided box features a ninja cat which made us all laugh. They couldn’t wait to see what was inside the…

    Blogger Board Game Club review: Carcassonne

    November 13, 2018 - By 

    A few weeks ago we were kindly sent a copy of Carcassonne to play and review. The game was first launched in 2001. The idea is simple: Carcassonne is a clever tile-laying game based on the southern French city of Carcassonne, famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. Players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields while creating a perfect city landscape. Blogger Board Game Club review: Carcassonne As members of the Blogger Board Game Club we were sent this copy of Carcassonne to review.…
