Taking a fun 2-player abstract strategy board game and turning it into a similarly fun abstract strategy board game for more players can be difficult. But the folks at Mindtwister managed to make it work well with Pentago Multiplayer.
Just over a year ago we reviewed Pentago and we gave it high marks for a number of reasons. Pentago Multiplayer has all those and more.

It was great last night to get back to some good family board game playing!
All 6 of us sitting around the table, eating caramel brownies, playing a board game, relaxing, and laughing.
Not feeling stressed or anxious about looming decisions like we’ve had the last few weeks was nice. Even though I’ve had a game or two with the boys here and there, we haven’t all sat down together for a board game in a while. And it was super nice to take the time to play together again.

As much as we like to promote family board games, we also realize that life isn’t all fun and games. Spending your time just playing games all day won’t amount to a very fulfilling life. And as parents, our job is to help our kids lead a productive and fulfilling life.

I don’t think we’ve had a board game that our boys have begged me to play as much as Descent: Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition). It has been such a hit at our house that I have many praises for the game!

Kids love using their imagination to create stuff.
That’s why LEGOS are such a hit. Give a kid a tub of LEGOS and they can build all sorts of stuff.
Morphology Junior is a family board game that taps into that creative imagination and turns it into a game. But rather than just having blocks to build with, Morphology Jr includes a variety of objects that players use to build things.

We think it’s funny with a board game has the word “game” right in the title of the game. So when we saw The Big Fat Tomato Game by Gamewright we knew it had to be something lighthearted and funny.
If you know anything about Gamewright games, you’ll know they’re all about publishing family games. And The Big Fat Tomato Game is no different. It’s targeted directly at families everywhere (you don’t have to be farmers).
