Gulo Gulo board game everything in the game

Gulo Gulo board game review

How hard can it be to pull a little egg out of a bowl?

In Gulo Gulo, it’s much harder than you think.

Especially when the bowl is packed with different-sized eggs, you’re only allowed to use one hand, and setting off the alarm can ruin your turn.

That’s the basic premise behind this children’s dexterity game originally released more than 20 years ago.

The game has been out of print for a number of years, but thanks to Pandasaurus Games, Gulo Gulo is back with a new edition!

Although the game is primarily designed for kids, it’s quite the challenge for adults as well (mainly because of our bigger fingers).

Falling shapes are fun in Drop It

We recently added a puppy to our family and are working on training her. One of the commands we’re trying to teach her is “Drop It”.

Inevitably, she’ll grab something she’s not supposed and we’ll ask her to “drop it”. It’s hit or miss so far, but we’re working on it.

One thing that’s not as tough as training a puppy is a new game by Kosmos called Drop It. Instead, this kind of dropping it is a lot more fun.

In Drop It, players take turns dropping various shapes for points.

That’s right — drop some shapes and score points!
