Kids Against Maturity
We love this family game. The kids get a kick out out of this party game designed for kids. Beware to prepared to hear butts and poop mentioned alot. That’s part of the charm of this silly kids party game. It’s a cards against humanity kid friend game. Which happens to be on sale right now! Check it out!
Where has the time gone?
It’s been quite a few years since our last post. What has our family been doing?
Well, we have been a busy family. Pre-Pandemic, I went back to work. For our local school district. Our kids have been full force in sports. Trevor was coaching Zayden’s flag football team. Anyce has gotten in archery. Her team even made it to nationals! Those were postponed due the pandemic.
During this pandemic Trevor is working from home. The kids and I are on summer break.
We are organizing our house, playing games, crafts, lots of cooking. Along with having a never ending list of projects I would like to get done. Pretty a pandemic family life at the moment.
Now that we have all this free time. I am hoping to start blogging again. This blog will include more of the family part now. Yes, we still play games. That will always be a part of our lives. Yes, we will share reviews of games. However, we also want to share other parts of our lives. Projects that we are working on, food we are cooking and everything else our family enjoys. So, I hope you stay around to check out what is to come.
What has your family been doing during this pandemic?
Dr. Eureka
Dr. Eureka by Blue Orange Games is a fun family friendly dexterity game. This game is quite a bit harder than it looks. Which is a great thing. However, I wouldn’t recommend this game for kids under 8. Unless, they are great at dexterity games and maybe don’t use the speed aspect. Most adults even find this game challenging.
Elementy
Elementy by Gamematz is a fast pace push your luck card game. Which of course as a mat option!
Not only does Elementy have adorable artwork. It’s extremely fun. We have tested this game with kids ranging from age 5-13. They all enjoyed it. It has that Rock, Paper, Scissors meets Pokémon vibe.
HOW TO PLAY
START THE GAME by dividing the deck into half. Each player gets 3 of each element cards Flame, Leaf & Water) and 2 Wild Windy cards. Shuffle your deck workout looking and place them facing down. Draw the top three cards to start the battle. You may look at these cards as they are in your hand.
THE BATTLE both players choose 1 of the cards in your hand and place in facing down. Once both players cards are face down flip the cards over to see who won the battle. Before battling against each player draws another card from the top of their deck so they have 3 cards total in their hand.
HOW TO WIN :
Water>Flame
Leaf>Water
Flame>Leaf
Water>Flame
THE WILD CARD is Wild Windy she is extremely unpredictable. To stop her at the opposing player must roll a 5 or 6 to win the battle.
THE TIE. The best part of this game is the ROLL OFFS! If you and your opponentplay the same card. You must grab the dice and roll off. They player with the highest number wins!
THE WIN the player that wins the battle take their card and their opponents card place them in their discard pile facing up the game ends when there is no cards left who ever has the most cards in thier discard pile when the game!
I can not win for anything! Apparently I have no luck! Which makes my kids love this game so much more!!
Filthy Mime NSFW!!!
First off this game is only meant for those who have very naught minds. You have been warned! p.s don’t read this post in front of children!
Now for those of you who are still reading. Be ready to Laugh so hard alcohol may come out of your nose and your panties may get wet…
Filthy Mime is Cards Against Humanity meets Charades. You will have a deck of cards, a player will randomly pick a card. They will then attempt acting out what is on the card while the other players make their best guess. The player at the end who has the most cards and apparently the dirtiest mind wins!! This is a must party game for anyone who enjoys ridiculously raunchy fun!
Now really what you have been waiting for.. A Sneak Peek of some of the cards! Please keep in mind this is a sneak peek. Not the finally product!!! We were given this copy to play it, review and give feedback. This is guaranteed to make you laugh, blush and may even learn some new sexual terms! I know I did! I had no idea what snow-balling was called is until I read the card! Bahaha! So loose up, have a drink or a few and have fun! You never know how your conversation and night will end!
Can’t wait to play Filthy Mime?!?!?! Guess what you don’t have too! Try the Print N Play right NOW! The full game will be on kickstarter soon! To keep on the details follow Filthy Mime on Twitter.
RUN BUG RUN
RUN BUG RUN is on Kickstarter right now!
Run Bug Run is a cute family racing game that has some depth and replay value. You get to pick your character choice of which bug you would like to be. Each bug has it’s own special abilities! I personally like the Ladybird (Ladybug) You get to view other players cards with her ability!
I would recommend this game for children 8 and up. However, younger kids could play depending no their personal gaming skills. My 5 yr old wont sit long enough for this game. There are lots of rules and its takes roughly 30 minutes to play.
The key things we enjoy about this game, The re-playable value. Every time you set up this game you get to to mix and match a racing field that all the players agree upon. Making it different every time you play. However, the best thing about this game. It’s it is FAMILY FRIENDLY!
Pie Face
It’s here the infamous PIE FACE! You know you have seen that video going around the inter-webs for awhile. It is re-released here in the USA! We just got this game today. Let me tell you it is FUN!
We love this game! Yes, I know then why did I rate it 4 stars.. the quality of the game is the only reason. I will list those reasons down below. First let’s talk about what we do love!
We love how much silly fun this game is! This game is one of those fun gimmick & nostalgic items. Does that mean bad.. not to us! Anything that has all the kids & adults laughing is a great thing.
This game is simply played.. Spin the spinner and land on a number. Then you have to turn the handles that number of times. Here is the tricky thing. The hand slaps at random numbers! We have had it slap the 1st turn of the handles and pass 9 turns. So who is going to get a face full of cream no one knows!!
Do we recommend this game YES! If your playing the MSPR price point you will get your money’s worth. Playing it till it breaks down.
The reason for 4 stars….
It’s cheaply made. You can see in our videos on youtube. It was falling apart on us. The face guard and handles kept coming off. If the handles would stay in during the whole game play. That alone I would have given it 5 stars. Having to stop and fix it over & over get boring. I also think the other of the head guard should be a girl or a girl head guard one should be included! Girls play games a lot especially in our household!
Plus side to it being made cheap. It all comes apart to be cleaned easily!
Here is a quick clip!
