Morphology Game

Back in my day kids occupied themselves by playing with dolls,  played sports,  or heck maybe even played in fields so it is nice to get back to traditional family activities with games that encourage creative thinking rather than violent video games,  being glued to the computer screen...and so on and son on(you get the picture).  Any time products that help us spend time together as a family is always openly accepted in our household.  We like to teach our family that spending quality time together is very important and lately the Morphology game helps us do just that!


This is how the game works: you pick it,  build it,  animate it, guess it.  Basically it reminds me alot like the game Pictionary only in this game you have to create things used the items included in the game. Some of the items include wooden sticks,  string, cubes, beads and some other awesome items that will help you create.  

You better put your thinking cap on while playing this game because it really makes you think.  Get creative and get ready to have a lot of fun because we sure did.  My son isnt quite 13 yet,  matter of fact he is only eight, but even he had fun trying to build the different things and guess the words.  I would recommend it for adults,  or any family with teens,   especially as it is recommended for chilren 13+.  


BUY IT: You can purchase the Morphology game online at morphologygames.com or you can purchase them at Barnes & Noble Booksellers.  The game costs $29.99.

Tenzi Game Giveaway

TENZI



If your the type of person that doesnt like to read a long list of instructions when playing a game then I have the perfect game for you.  Tenzi is a brand new game that is somewhat similar to Yatzee,  only a lot more easier.  Even though the game is extrememly simple it is still extremely fun too! 

If your family is anthing like mine, you have family game days where the kids play games and the adults join in on the fun too!  Tenzi is a fun game that can be played by both,  and does not require very much comprehension, so even those that have a little bit of trouble understanding game rules will not have the slightest bit of trouble understanding the rules to this fun game.  This comes in particularly handy for my seven year old son who sometimes gets frustrated with rules that go on and on.  The rules to Tenzi is extremely simple,  short but sweet! 


Watch the above You Tube video and it will give you a basic understanding of how the game should be played. 

• Tenzi can be played with 2 - 4 players.
• The game consists of 40 dice.  A set of ten dice in a different color for each player.
• Each player will choose which color s/he would like to be.
• Each player grabs all ten dice in their hands and then one player shouts "go",  and everyone rolls at the same time.
• After you quickly roll the dice you choose which number you are going to go for.  This should be the number you have the most of.  For example if you have more fives you should take out the fives and coninue to roll more 5's.
• You do not have to wait for the others to roll at the same time as you, that only happens on the initial roll.  Continue rolling your dice until all your dice reads the same number and then shout out "Tenzi". 
• The first person that rolls all their dice the same number and shouts "Tenzi" wins the game!

Besides this way there are plenty of other fun ways to play Tenzi too,  including: Tenzi Tower,  Splitzi,  Team Tenzi,  Mega Tenzi,  Stealzi,  Target Tenzi,  Timed Tenzi,  and Twisted Tenzi.  My husband and I had a blast competing against each other on a race against time against each other!  I tend to like to be the white dice so I can see the numbers easier because once I start rolling the dice I really get on a roll.  I finally found a game that I can win,  and I found it in Tenzi!  This makes an excellent addition to our family game collection and I recomend it for any family or even couple!

BUY IT:  You can purchase Tenzi for only $15.99 on their site,  or on Amazon.com.

Blue Orange Games

Running out of awesome brands to add to your family collection of games?  Well then you should definitely check out Blue Orange,  a fun line of affordable games,  for ages 3 years all the way up to ages 18+.  Blue Orange has ten years of experience in creating innovative games for the entire family!  I know everyone will appreciate that they help protect our planet by planting two trees for every for each one used in game construction.  This year they are proud to introduce eight new titles!

Spot It is an enjoyable game that can be played four different ways, yes I said it,  four different ways!  I think my children enjoyed playing The Poisoned Gift the best.  The object of the game is to end up with least number of cards.  Trigger is a cool game that can be played with 3 to 8 players,  so your entire family can join in on the fun,  no matter if you are a family of only three,  or  a large family of eight! 

Trigger is my favorite of all three of them that we received,  It was truly a pleasure to play!  I think it would make a great game to play at a party as it was a lot of fun to play and packed full of laughs!  Tell Tale can be played with only one person or up to 8 players.  This game will definitely open your imagination!  All of these games are part of the pocket collection,  but they also offer a variety of other fun games including wooden games and board games.  These games make a perfect addition to any game collection,  stocking stuffers,  or just a fun game to play with your children.

Clue:World of Harry Potter by Hasbro

I know many young people out there were anxiously waiting for the newest Harry Potter movie(Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, to hit theatres and it has finally came time.  Harry Potter fun does not stop in theatres,  bring all the fun home with you with one of Hasbro's newest games,  Clue:World of Harry Potter.  I recently had the wonderful opportunity of working with my all time favorite game brand (Hasbro, ) on a review of this awesome game.  I knew it would be a huge hit with my oldest son because he is a huge fan of Hasbro and Harry Potter!

The Clue: World of Harry Potter game includes"

• Game Board
• 6 Identity Cards
• 6 Movers
• 29 Help Cards
• 32 Dark Cards
• 21 Mystery Cards
• 1 Notepad
• 40 Floo Powder Tokens
• 6 Suspect Tokens
• 6 Item Tokens
• 1 Envelope
• 1 Green Die
• 1 Black Die
• 1 Label Sheet
• Instructions

We began by reading the instructions,  which were long,  but very thorough and explanative.  My children helped me punch out forty little floo powder tokens,  which they enjoyed doing because they like helping out.  After that,  it was time to set up the board,  so we inserted the location wheels into the board.  Next,  we grabbed some pencils and got ready to participate in a Harry Potter good time!  For this game you can play with 2-4 players so me,  my husband and our oldest son decided to play the game together. 

This game is very similar to the original Clue game,  in the since that there is a mystery that needs to be solved.  You can choose between six different exciting characters including Harry,  Ron,  Nevil,  Luna,  Hermione,  or Jenny.  Of course my son chose Harry Potter,  so I chose Jenny and my husband chose Hermione.  A friend vanishes and it is up to you to figure out who did it,  what spell or item they used,  and where the student was attacked.  Be careful,  as you travel through rooms with floo powder because the dark mark has a tendency to appear. 

My son did a great job filling out his form, and dealing us the cards.  After the cards were shuffled we placed the selected cards into the CLUE envelope.  We had to follow certain rules like you can only move horizontally or vertically.  When you are sure of your findings,  you must go to the Burrow to make your final accusation and win the game!  My husband ended up winning,  which does not surprise me because he is very competitive and good at games.

This game was packed full of exciting twists and turns,  and provided my family with a ton of fun entertainment.  I always love when my children can be entertained by something other than TV or Video Games!  We will definitely be adding this to our weekend family fun game days!  This game is a must have for all Harry Potter and CLUE fans! 

BUY IT:  You can purchase the CLUE:WORLD OF HARRY POTTER game at Walmart,  Toys R Us Canada, Zellers or Amazon.com
