N8

Even though this game’s been around for a while, I just recently played it for the first time. You have enough strategy to keep things interesting for the older players, but also family friendly. This game could go on for a while by the time you add all your points up to get to the 500 mark (depending on what cards you “corner”).

A couple of things I’d recommend: The more players you have, the better the odds are for you to get your “corner” and it could be tough for some kids younger than 6 or 7 to totally understand the game.

This one’s been around a while, but still fun. This can be played by young and old alike. If you have some time to kill (’cause this one can take a while), this is a fun game that builds and builds and builds. One potential weakness it has its that it can get monotonous. We’ve played it before to where we’ll stop where we’re at and pick the game up sometime later in the week.

We just played this game the other night with some friends. It’s a fun way to get together and play. This is definitely a game that should have more than just a few players to make it enjoyable. Different personalities have preferences for different cards. It’s fun to see which card will win out!

This game has been labeled the “Whole Brain” game for a reason. The guys who created it felt there needed to be a game that could appeal to those who wanted to use multiple skills. Unlike some other games that can get to be monotonous, I like this game because you have a variety of things to do. This is a great team game too because you get to utilize different players talents, skills and knowledge. Everyone can contribute something. You get your trivial pursuit, sensosketch, spelling bee, charades and sculpting all in one, along with some other fun activities mixed in there. This has been a favorite for some time and after the amount of times we’ve played it, it’s still fun because of the variety!
