Wanna Play a Game?







I LOVE playing games. I think one of the best things about the holidays is being able to dedicate lots and lots of time to playing games with the fam. Especially since our best game playing friends (shout out to Jac and Spruce) moved, and we don't get our game fix every weekend like we used to! Every year Keith and I get at least one new game for Christmas. Everyone teases that we have more games than Walmart! I love that Keith loves games as much as I do. I really don't know what I'd do if my husband didn't:) This year our new games are The New Yorker: Cartoon Caption Game, You've Been Sentenced, and Boggle. We enjoyed them all. The NewYorker: Cartoon Caption Game has cartoons without captions, and you have to write creative captions...it was really funny. Our family is even funnier than we thought! You've Been Sentenced gives you several random words and you have creatively put them together to make a sentence, the more words you can use, the better! Boggle is one of Keith's all time faves; we just didn't own it. It's kind of like a word search, but more fun. Some of our other favorites are Hoopla, Taboo, and Whoonu. I really like Hoopla, because you aren't competing against each other, instead, you all work together against the clock. Whoonu is fun and super fast, it's also a good way to get to know new people. Taboo is just plain fun, and the longer you play the better you get! Do you like games? What are some of your favorites?

I love games too! Have you ever played Apples to Apples? It is awesome!

We love playing games also! Our favorites are Settlers of Catan and Kuduuk. We also love Hoopla because it is a team game!

We LOVE games too!! Catch Phrase is the all time BEST game EVER! We also love Crainium and Scrabble. :)

They are all kind of wordy I guess:)

We like Apples to Apples, Catch Phrase, and Crainium a lot, and Keith likes Scrabble--I make him play it with other people:). But, we've never played or even heard of Settlers of Catan or Kuduuk...we'll have to check them out! Thanks for the recommendations!
