Board game blowout weekend

Our nephew (and cousin) returned last week from his 2 year church mission and we got to spend the extended weekend with their family catching up on many things as well as playing lots of board games!

Knowing that we’d be spending a long weekend at their home, and that Jake loves playing board games, we had the tough choice of which games we should first introduce him to upon his return. We wanted to take games he’d already be familiar with, but we also wanted to play games that we’ve added to our game shelves over the last 2 years that we thought he’d love.

Board games played, a Mid-Year Report

One of the indicators of our favorite board games and card games is how many times we play a game. However, that’s not always the best indicator because the length of time it takes to play a game is also a big factor in how often we play it. But it’s a good starting point.

Toc Toc Woodman – chop away

Do your kids like games where they get to destroy things?

Or rather, where they get to wreck havoc with the playing pieces?

In Toc Toc Woodman, players get to play lumberjack and use an axe to chop down a tree. And they can be as wild as they want with the chopping. Of course, if they’re too wild, there going to lose the game. Because in Toc Toc Woodman the winner will be the person that chops with more precision than vigor.

Befuzzled Be Fun

Our family had a great time the other night playing Befuzzled. And though we’ve had this card game for a while, we haven’t yet posted a review of it. Well, it’s time to change that because Befuzzled is a fun family game.

Even though I just mentioned Befuzzled as a card game, it feels more like a party game. Mostly because everyone’s acting out at the same time and there’s a lot of laughing.
