Color Clash by Blue Orange is much harder than it looks. Some how with only 36 Clash Tiles and 6 Chameleon Tiles there are never ending possibilities. You’ll find yourself trying to rake your brain to match colors. Matching colors? Yes, matching colors with this game is harder that you would think. If your looking for a game to help exercise your brain. This is it!
With 8 different games in this box you can play with 1-6 players. You can also match the tiles 3 different ways! Even if at first glance it doesn’t look like a match. It may be. Here is a picture explaining the different way you can make a match.
We will be making a few different let’s play videos to help you decide which games are your favorite with Color Clash. Personally, I enjoy the Solo and the Guess what I am Thinking. The Guess what I am Thinking let’s play will be coming soon!
King’s Gold by Blue Orange is an adventurous dice game. You roll your luck to get the best dice combos. You want to be the richest Pirate to win the game. You’ll get chances to steal from the treasure chest, the King’s gold and other Pirates.
Stealing happens left and right in the game. It’s one of Anyce’s favorite parts of this game. She likes to get greedy. However, you do need to become the richest Pirate to win. So let loose and steal from your mates. Here’s a picture to show you how much Anyce loves stealing.
King’s Gold comes in a beautiful tin with some great components. You can play right from the tin. It will include 5 pirate Dice and 60 golden treasure coins. You can play with 2-6 players. The more pirates the better. It’s super quick we have never taken longer than 15 minutes to complete a game. Don’t forget stealing from your mates is the best part.
This game is perfect for traveling due to the tin. Anyce will be bringing this game to her ballet classes and school events. We love to have some easy to go games during down times. I also love that you don’t have to know how to read to play this game. After showing Zayden a few times how to play he will be able to join in on the fun. Pick this game up for your family, to be a great filler or as a starter for a game night. Let us know what you think of it. We love it. They had me easily with Pirates and Dice. What’s not to love!

Disclaimer: Blue Orange did send us this game to review. This no way changed our opinions on this game. I would buy it for myself or even as a gift for others. This game has become a favorite in our family.
How do you wake up sleeping queens you ask? There is only one way. A kiss by a king, of course. This beautifully illustrated card game has everything. Queens, Kings, Jesters, Knights, sleeping potions, magic wands and of course Dragons!
In Sleeping Queens, your goal is to wake up 5 (for 2-3 players and 4 Queens for 4-5 players) Queens first or you can play by points. We play who ever gets the Queens first wins. Honestly, I hate taking score.. as silly as that sounds. Here is a let’s play of Anyce and I playing.
The set of this game is very easy play 6 queens face down on both sides of the deck. The queen cards will have a green back. Then deal each player 5 cards.
Zayden’s favorite game for over a year now has been Feed the Kitty. In my option, it is one of the best starter games for children. You don’t need know how to read, and you only need to know how to count to 2! This game helps with listening, taking turns and sharing. Which is wonderful for young children.
This game is simple. It’s a child’s version of LCR. The whole goal is to be the last player left with mice. You start off with few mice for each player and a cat bowl in the middle. With each turn, you will roll your dice and move your mice around accordingly.
Spot it is made by Blue Orange. It is a very quick game. You try to find the matches as fast as you can. Every card will have a match and only one match to each card. Even if you don’t see it. Sometimes it is hard to find the match. We love it because its a game all ages can play. Even though most Spot it’s recommend ages 7 & up. I would say most 3 year olds can play the game. Zayden started playing at age 4. Most themes you don’t need to know how to read to match even if its a word that they can’t read we allow pointing for the younger kids.
I love that they are in a tin and very travel friendly. Anyce takes these games to ballet and other events where the kids have extra time to hang out. All of her friends enjoy Spot it and have asked her to continue to bring it along. I would say the chances of you replaying this game multiple times is quite high. There are many different ways you can play. Down below is a picture explaining a few of the ways you can play.
Blue Orange has released so many different themes, you’ll find at least one you will like. They even have educational choices such as numbers, letters, shapes and words We currently have 4 editions and still want more! Let us know which on is your favorite!

One of our all time favorite games is Rory Story Cubes. This is a must for family game nights. Its fun, entertaining and never the same. It works for all ages, as the kids don’t have to know how to read. It is simply rolling the dice and making a story based off of the images you see. We also like to use these cubes for icebreakers. When we have parties with kids who don’t all know each other. Using story cubes gets all the kids interacting with each other and the laughs started. Who can make the silliest or the scariest story? Let your imagination run crazy!
They have a few editions. Story Cubes, Story Cubes Actions and Story Cubes Voyages. These 3 games include 9 dice each. They have now released Clues, Enchanted and Prehistoria. These I consider them expansions as they only come with 3 dice each. You can you use all of the sets separately or combined. We like to mix it up and play with different cubes each time we play. Pictures down below.
They will be releasing a BATMAN edition! I am over the moon excited about it! We all love super heroes, especially Batman.I can’t wait to get my hands on it. We will be posting pictures and a video review, once we have it. Hopefully your family enjoys Story Cubes as much as we do!
These Find It Games To Go are limited Quantity. The editions are Pet Finder, Great Outdoors, Things that go and Treats & Sweets. These to go editions are half the size of the normal editions. Perfect to throw into a travel bag or keep in the car for road trips. This a contained game, so no chances of losing pieces. Every time someone comes to our house, they notice the Find it games we have. It never fails, they end up playing them while hanging out. They are fun for all ages. Adults get more competitive than the kids… Well, at least the ones we know.
You can play a few different ways. You can play solo or compete with a friend. You can time yourself to see how fast you can find the items, or see if you can find them in alphabet order. You can also make stories with the items you find. Don’t forget to look out for the mystery item! Need help keeping track of what you have found or what is on the list? You can print out a list from their site. (minus the on the go editions. Hopefully they will be updated soon!) Finditgames.com
In 2013, I believe they emerged with another company called Identity Games. Personally, I like the changes I have noticed. They interact more on social media, there is now a hidden mystery object in each game, and cute holiday editions have come out! I am hoping for a Halloween one!!! Fingers crossed! One can hope. Rumor is a Pokemon is coming soon!!!! The only down side is that they no longer use real pennies. I know you’re wondering why it matters, as it’s locked inside the game. The real penny is much heavier, so it makes it a challenge to find.

Our kids are so excited to start blogging/vlogging. They have been asking everyday to make a let’s play video. Here is our first let’s play styled video. Hope you enjoy it as much as the kids did making it.
The game is Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel. It’s one of the kids favorite games. It is an educational game that helps with memorizing colors and building motor skills. 2 -4 people can play ages 3 and up. Its easy enough they can play by themselves. For Zayden its helping him learn to play by the rules. He is our little rule breaker. Seriously, he’ll try anything to win.
Very similar to the classic Hi HI Cherry-O. You spin to either collect, lose or steal and nut. First person to collect 1 of everyone color nut wins.
However, the components for this game are amazing! The squirrel “tweezers” are made a a heavy duty plastic and is simply adorable. When using this squirrel it help develop fine motor skills. The nut are also plastic and bring very durable.
