Have you ever heard so much giggling and laughing while doing math? Entire game was played in 3 and a half minutes! Great game for quick mental math and having fun together, to boot! #funwithoutscreens #learnthroughplay #learnthrugames #myfirstgamessg #downwithscreentime #funwithmath #playhardwiseup https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bcTbFnMaCnrYG8yO4CZzx22bzWGps_MMMQNI0/?igshid=15qqic8d1p7fl

We recently tried a new game about donuts, and we love it! Go Nuts For Donuts has you collecting donuts, different ones give you different points, or special actions. It's kinda like Sushi Go, but different. Go Nuts For Donuts also has that whole meta game thing going where you're trying to guess what other people are gonna choose - coz if you choose the same one as someone else - you both don't get to collect it! Awesome game! Cry warning though as there are some opportunities to take away other people's donuts (cards - points!) but all the more sore losers need to play so that they can learn to deal with it!

After meeting the designer of Wongamania on Saturday, the first game the boys asked to play yesterday afternoon was Wongamania! Upon getting the hang of making money out of their stocks and property investments (and quickly selling them when the market went down), they were begging me to make the game longer by only making the game end when someone had 5 Trust Funds instead of 3! #learnthrugames #playhardwiseup #myfirstgamessg #capitalgames #Wongamania #economicgames

Next, we all had fun building our own treehouses in the beautifully illustrated card drafting game, Best Treehouse Ever. It was an excellent game for me because (1) Shawna scored the lowest scores but still enjoyed the game and did not even have a shadow across her face. (2) Asher didn't give up and kept trudging on in good spirits even though he lost the first two rounds. He eventually won the game when he scored big in the third round which upped his total score. The win gave him a mega confidence boost which he really needed. (3) Isaac came in second, just behind his brother... Then he and I realised that we could possibly (most likely) have miscounted Asher's marks... But I looked at him and shook my head discretely. He immediately nodded and whispered to me "Let him be happy." 😱 I was astounded. For this ultra competitive boy of mine to be so gracious and generous to his brother in this way made me really very happy to see that he is finally understanding that there is more to games than just winning. He really is growing up! 😊😄😍 #virtuesthroughgaming #tanfamilychronicles #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #besttreehouseever #kangagames #MyFirstGamessg #MyFirstGames #carddrafting #indoorfun #funwithouttv #funwithoutscreens #gamesbondfamily #siblingslove

We bring games with us when we go visiting friends. Kids are now also big enough to play on their own without much supervision or facilitating. Isaac & EJ choosing to play Quoridor Kid over watching tv 😀 #tanfamilychronicles #myfirstgames #myfirstgamessg #quoridor #gigamic #funwithouttv #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgames

Isaac and Asher played Pentago, and they won at the same time! It's a draw!!! #tanfamilychronicles #myfirstgames #myfirstgamessg #pentago #everyonewins

The battle begins! Broke out Pentago with the family at last night's gathering, and it was an instant hit! 😀 #tanfamilychronicles @myfirstgames #myfirstgames #myfirstgamessg #funwithouttv #funwithoutgadgets #bgg #boardgamegeek #pentago #mindtwisting
