Every now and then WalMart has toys at huge discounts in the bins in the middle of their main aisles. It was in one of the discount bins that I saw a $9.99 price drop and had to go and see what was on sale. Lo and behold it was Spongebob Monopoly! Being the Monopoly fan that I am, I just HAD to buy it! The packaging for this game is truly unique. On the cover of the box is Spongebob Squarepant&...

I have played Cranium at a few different people's houses and have to say it is one of my favorite board games! It's actually on my Christmas list this year. The original version of Cranium is a game for up to four teams of adults. You can have as many people on your team as you want, but you have to at least have 2 on each team. This game is listed for adults and teens, but I think it w...

Firstly i believe this so-called "Board Game" be considered dangerous for kids/teens since it has a power beyond their comprehention.The ouija board is a strong tool to contact the "Unseen" and the "Unknown", and today is considered as a game for contacting different ghouls and ghosts, a sort of "Game" for kids to play at house parties, and halloween nigh...

This is a game from my childhood, and later when visiting my parents with our children we would play this game called Sjoelbak, otherwise known as Dutch Shuffleboard.There was a lot of good natured rivalry between all my brothers and sisters and I was more than excited when my Dad gave us our very own Sjoelbak for Christmas, just a year before he passed away, so we could play it with our girls ...

I wouldn't say I'm the biggest Disney fan in the world, or anywhere close but I am definitely somewhat of a big fan.  I grew up in the 80's when all of the great Disney movies were released like "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," etc.  I am also a big fan of board games so when I can incorporate...

Seems like my house should be the Thomas house. My grandson is always looking here for Thomas toys or brings them from his house. The Thomas game is for ages 4 to 7, and can be played  with 2 to 6 players. In this game there is a game board, 6 tokens, 6 token bases, a spinner , and rules.  The six pieces are of Thomas and his friends. You play the game by riding the rails up and down,...

 I love good board games and was in the market for one, when I ran across this one. Needless to say it's right up my ally because I love movies too! Movie buffs, like me, and trivia junkies can put their knowledge to the test with this interactive DVD movie trivia game.You can move around the board and answer questions from clips taken from Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) films from multiple...

I had seen the movie, read the book and even purchased other books that were related to the DaVinci Code.  I guess one could say that I became somewhat obsessed with the unique slant Dan Brown posed in his best selling  book of the same name.  After indulging in all that I could at the time, I soon began to watch for a game of the same name.  I wasn't disappointed when s...

 Scattergories is such a fun game. I have brought it to many parties and played it at home with guests. Each time I play Scattergories with friends, it has always gotten great results and everyone loves it. This game is particularly accepted at parties because it is an ages 12 and up game, and two to six people can play at one time. The game changes every time since the questions are ...

I received the Pirates of the Caribbean: Scene It? board game for Christmas. I had already owned the Disney Version of the Scene It? games. I found that the Pirates of the Caribbean game had more features and surprises throughout the game play then the Disney Version. It's a very fast playing game. The board is not very big but it was FUN and that is the main point in playing a game, having...

Every Christmas Santa brings us a new game the whole family can enjoy. Last Christmas he delivered: The Game of Life Twist & Turns. This is an updated electronic version of the classic Life game. I wasn't too sure about it; I grew up playing Life all the time. I sometimes don't like when companies try to improve things. But this is a great game for the whole family. There is a Lifep...

Every Christmas we have an evening that we gather together with family and friends - this year I wanted to bring back a bit of nostalgia and decided to buy a couple of board games.  My youngest daughter is a very traditional holiday person, she loves the togetherness of the Christmas season and finds it important to dictate that no one  be allowed to sit on a computer for Christmas Ev...

If you want to be a surgeon, you should definitely get this game. It teaches you all you need to know to decide if that career is right for you. It consists of a board with the diagram of a man and holes in which you place little plastic "organs" that you will later have to remove with tweezers. But watch out, because the holes are surrounded by metal borders. If you touch them with y...

This game is amazingly simple grabbing the attention of children ages 3 to 10 quite easily. As a ladbug stranded far from home you have to collect aphids, ten to be exact, to pay your way past the lazy ants and make your way back to the rose garden, so you may bask once again in the sun and enjoy your day. The pitfalls - as you play and gain aphids you can loose aphids, either buy the...

Blokus is a board game that is beginning to find a home at Family Game Nights. The game is designed for two to four players, but is at its best when four players are at the table.The concept is simple. Think "Competive Tetris." All players begin the game with the same number of "pieces" or "shapes" that must be placed on the board. Players commence by placing a til...

 The classic Monopoly game is available in may different themes.  The Marvel Comics Collector's Edition is a cool theme to own if you are a Marvel fan.  I have a lot of fun playing this with my son, but having the Marvel theme makes it even better.  We both love the pewter figurine options:  Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Invisible Woman, Captain America, Thor, Storm, ...

This is a true classic. The Sorry game I have is from when I was a kid. It is old but still in great shape. A few months ago my 6 year old discovered it on a shelf in the closet. He asked what it was and I told him it was a game. He then asked if we could play. I took it down and set it up and we all had a great family evening playing it over and over, I forgot how much fun this game is. It is ...

My family are avid Monopoly fans. At Christmas when we all get together we actually have Monopoly tounaments with a prized going to the winner. While I was shopping in Toys R US I saw the Monopoly Here & Now Electronic Banking edition on sale. It was the best of both worlds - Monopoly (that I LOVE to play) and on SALE (I NEVER pass up a good sale)! This Electronic Banking edition uses plast...

I remember getting the Cootie game when I was a little kid.  I don’t remember particularly liking it.  Now that I am a parent and my son has just gotten the Cootie game I can say with all certainty that I really dislike it.  It was a gift and so we were obligated to try it out, however as soon as my son lost interest it went away. Cootie is a game where players roll di...

Yes, it was a rude awakining. I always considered myself fairly intelligent until I played this game. We really like the gameshow so when my son saw the board game at WalMart he bought it. I think he bought it because he was pretty sure that he could beat me at it, and he was right. Everytime we play it, one of my sons totally humiliate me. It is rated for ages 8 and up but I think it should al...
