Game Time

This past weekend our friends introduced us to Mexican Train Dominoes.  Up until this time, the only time I played dominoes was to build towers or a train to watch it fall down.  We truly had fun playing this game.  I always enjoy games that require strategy and this one didn’t disappoint.

More Games

Another game my lovely niece has opened us up to is Exploding Kittens. Created by three individuals, this game is won with strategy. We receive odd looks when we take it somewhere new, but everyone who plays it with us becomes hooked on the game. We’ve since purchased the two expansion packs. It’s almost as much fun to read the card names and the messages on the cards, as it is playing. It’s a suggested 2-5 player game, but is fun regardless of the number playing. Obviously, the more playing, the harder it is to guess who’s holding the Exploding Kitten cards.

This past weekend, our families came together as a interim holiday meal and family time. When my husband’s niece joins us, she’s always introducing us to new games (we’re a family that loves to play games). This time was no different. She brought a game called Spot It! This game, by Asmodee, is a quick play and is so fun. The premise is to avoid being the one with all the cards in your hand. It’s fast moving and you can’t be afraid to shout out and really get into the game. We loved it so much, my daughter and I both ordered it on Amazon between rounds. I notice it’s available at several online stores. We just happen to use Amazon for most of our ordering needs.
