Munchkin Panic board game review

One of our favorite cooperative board games is Castle Panic – a game where players feel the pressure to defend their castle from marauding monsters from the very first turn.

As soon as the game starts, the monsters are quickly upon you. Castle Panic is one of the first video reviews we posted (5 years ago) – and still holds up as a fantastic cooperative board game families can enjoy together.

So when we heard Fireside Games was publishing Munchkin Panic, we were super eager to check it out as well.

Having played from the various backgrounds now, we can make the claim for those both familiar and unfamiliar with Munchkin – Munchkin Panic is a game you’ll enjoy.

Why? Because this is their “day job”.

They’re dealing with customers every day, all day and they know what people are most interested in buying and playing. So it’s always a fun activity to see what they list.

Gravity Maze – Fun 3D Puzzle Game

When I first heard about Gravity Maze earlier this year, I thought it would be a game that our youngest son, Caleb, would really enjoy.

He loves games that makes him think and he loves a challenge. He also really likes doing some things on his own – like solving puzzles.

So I really shouldn’t be surprised that he gives Gravity Maze one of his highest ratings.
