When was the last time you played a card or board game with your family? Joe and I play about once a month, sometimes less. I wish it were more but honestly, I just don’t think about it sometimes. We’ve found that we love playing games together and can spend hours laughing and working out our strategies to win.
A few months ago we discovered Scrabble Slam! it’s similar regular Scrabble but faster and maybe even more fun. So when I was given the opportunity to review 3 new card games by Hasbro I was thrilled. The great thing about card games is they are small and easily transportable, perfect for a trip to the beach.
We played Mille Bornes a is a the perfect travel game since it’s all about… travel. I’ve always loved Sorry! but Sorry! Revenge is a fun game of strategy and luck. I think my favorite game of the evening was Yahtzee Hands Down, it’s similar to poker but without all the bluffing and poker faces.
Play distance cards and speed towards the finish line, or put the brakes on your opponent with nasty hazards! Drive carefully, because they’ll be playing hazards on you too. Out of gas? Play a Gasoline card. Got in an accident? Play your Repairs card. Be the first player to travel 1000 miles and win!
Take turns to play number and action cards to change the play pile’s total. Get the pile to 21 without going bust to get one of your pawn cards home. But watch out – someone could play a SORRY! card and steal your win!
Collect dice cards to make classic combinations: 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, small straight, large straight, full house and YAHTZEE! Re-roll by discarding cards you don’t need and taking a chance on new ones. But here’s the twist – pit your hand against another player’s. Score high and win the Combo card points. It’s great YAHTZEE fun in a card game!
For 2 to 6 players.
Ages 8 and up.

You always see those commercials where they show stains magically disappearing within seconds. You think to yourself, “Wow that is so cool. I need that product.” only to then notice the tiny fine print at the bottom of the screen which says “time-lapse” or “results may not be typcial”. I say boo to those commercials….
Over the weekend we visited family and friends in Charleston, SC. It was a wonderful tip but boy was it hot. We spent a bit of time at the Isle of Palms on the beach which Jude absolutely loved. He spent a lot of time in the water, jumping waves and splashing. Being almost 2…
I like flowers but I love chocolate. I was sent the Sweet Greetings Gift Basket with Lindt Chocolate. This basket is huge. More chocolate and sweets than I could ever eat by myself. We invited a few friends over for a post-Christmas party last night and I instructed everyone to dig in. The Peanut Brittle…
Sometimes Jude can be a picky eater and I don’t want to let him develop bad habits but most specifically an unhealthy lifestyle. I love that HappyBaby is committed to making baby and toddler food as healthy and delicious as homemade with the essential nutrients needed for optimal growth and development. I wasn’t aware…
As a teenager, I was a huge fan of Veggie Tales. Even though it was a show designed for kids it became a big hit with kids of all ages. The shows convey moral themes based on Christianity spliced with satirical references to pop culture and current events. So, I was extremely excited to be…
I never know what to get my dad for Father’s Day. He’s the type of dad that buys things from himself whenever he wants them. In the past he has actually made me return things I bought him so I could keep the money. I’ve found the best gifts for my dad (the ones he…
