Back to Board Games/Card Games

Well Fall is here and I'm glad that we've started playing games again. Yesterday was Zeus on the Loose. It is a great way to work on multiples of 10 and also firm up those addition and subtraction skills. I actually lost but I had fun doing it.

A Week of Board Games

This past week has been a big one for us when it comes to playing games. I've said it before and I will continue to say it - I love board games and card games. We have a routine now where we play games while listening to one Left Behind CD a day. So far so good.

The games we played this past week were

1. Racko (Parker Brothers)
2. Ballpark Blast (Cranium)
3. Zeus on the Loose (Gamewright)
4. Zigity (Cranium)
5. Trouble (Milton Bradley)
6. Aggravation (Milton Bradley)

It was a great week, learning new things, practicing skills and being FAMILY

Card Games: Zigity

Actually after much thought, I could have listed Racko as a card game since it is played with cards.

Today seems to be game day in our household. We just finished playing Zigity a game that is sold by Cranium. I like it. It is easy to learn. It is also a game that is recommended for 2 or more players over the age of 8. Each player starts with 7 cards and the object is get rid of all of your cars by making sets. There are 4 ways to make a set 1) Spell a word, 2) Add to 11 3) Finish a puzzle or 4) Match the instrument.

So far I've really enjoyed the Cranium games I've played.
