Family Night

Sometimes you entertain kids with a game, and sometimes you are equally entertained. Today, we talk about age gaps and how to interpret the ages printed on the box.

We first flip rings across the table and try to catch them around the necks of some adorable plastic flamingos. Ring-O Flamingo is a fun one for the kids but we couldn't help but to get a little addicted ourselves. We certainly weren't at much of an advantage. The young ones could easily score ahead of us. We then went to the Heart of Africa. This one has some fascinating strategy work around auctions, bidding, and value recognition. Bid for your turn order, manipulate the market, and secure the most valuable goods across the African continent. We leave the day with a cooperative play board game called Witch of Salem. Everyone works together to close portals across the city and keep the monsters at bay. When you have beaten the last great old one, you can all pat yourselves on the back and count yourselves lucky or brilliant.
