Fallen Treasures coming soon

At SaltCon earlier this year I met game designer Tucker Smedes as he introduced some friends and I to The Pirate’s Flag.

We had a great time playing the game and enjoyed getting to know Tucker. He’s the owner of publishing company CardLords and they’ve just launched a Kickstarter game for a very family friendly game called Fallen Treasures.

I asked Tucker to tell me a bit more about this latest game. Since it’s very family-focused, I thought you’d be interested in hearing more about the game as well.

Building Cows and Making Faces

Our first set of kids game reviews this week each had some elements of math to them.

Today we’re leaving the math behind and moving on to silly fun.

We’ll first head out to pasture and build some cows, then it’s on to silly faces and sounds.

We’re starting off with 3 games that can help your kids with math:
* Monster Crunch: The Breakfast Battle Game
* This Game Goes to Eleven

Head of Mousehold card game review

Tom & Jerry was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. Jerry would antagonize Tom to no end in every episode with lots of slapstick antics.

No matter how hard he tried, Tom could never get rid of Jerry.

For some reason, playing Head of Mousehold by FoxMind took me back to those simple, lazy Saturday mornings.

A Dog’s Life family board game review

Have you ever wondered what life would be like as a dog?

Well, now there’s a good option for seeing life through the eyes of a dog in the new family board game, A Dog’s Life!
