We play this game ALL THE TIME. My 4 and 7 year old love it and my 12 year old still enjoys it. Fun enough for adults as well definitely.
Nice! Sometimes I think I enjoy this one more than the kids.
Thanks for posting this Luke. My wife and I are always searching for games we can play as a family with our 3 girls. Our youngest is also 3 and outside of Memory, Candyland and Go Fish it's challenging to find games she enjoys and holds her attention for an extended period of time. We'll definitely give this a try. Anything that allows us to spend time together is a worthy investment. Look forward to your other reviews.
Agree 100% Any reason you can find to do things as a family is worth doing!
Absolutely! I see a new game for our family coming very soon! Thank you for sharing!
Oh man, stay tuned. We have a ton of board games, and I'll eventually get around to reviewing them. Our kids love playing games (mostly my son Devon), and I'm super stoked @corinnestokes enjoys them also. Makes me a very happy husband. :)
Thanks a bunch to exchange all the news again!
It's funny to know that our friend Ken is back in the game. Thrilling times for all of us, especially reading the part where you share that "Blockpay and Carbon started this week and Stealth and GrapheneJ will resume next week!"
It's also good to read news about Obits as well. I do not know him. I only know what is happening, to treat them ... I still learn more, and also expect.
Thanks again for your great information, Namaste :)

This looks really fun and easy to learn and play. My youngest is just starting pre-school and I'm volunteering, this would be perfect for the kids to play there plus play at home with the family. Thanks for posting this! :)
Excellent! Let me know how they like it.
Very cool game, thanks for post.
Looks like a great game for the kids! I'm glad yall a good time :)
Nice ... Always amazing photos
Nice. Hadn't heard of this one. Always been partial to games like Risk and Monopoly but they take forever to finish!
Risk is so awesome!! my favorite game, love Quirkle though
Ah, I haven't played risk in a log time. I need to get back to that. I don't even own a copy right now.
I haven't played in a while either
Very cool!
Might have to check that out for me and the fam.
:D
@shayne
This looks like the gateway game to sudoku! Good to get the kiddos started early...
We play this with my students in our coding/enginner class. Works great for all grade k-5. And they can lose interest but i find thats with most tabletop games. Either their social skills are still developing or they struggle accepting that someone else appears to be winning. It's still a fun time. I will let ya know how our next board game day goes next week.
Very cool! Yeah, I think some love the games and others don't. My oldest and my youngest love them, but my middle child thinks she loves them until we start playing and then she's the first to get bored. It happens all the time.
I have never heard of it! Sounds like a great game for a holiday or a rainy day!
I will get this for my son on his birthday.
Very cool! :)
Heh. Love the kids' faces. In the pictures, was that pre-game apathy? What other games will you cover next? Thanks for sharing.
I've got a couple more I took pictures of and a short video. I won't spoil the surprise though. :)
As for the pictures, I snapped these ones too quickly and didn't even bother to look at them because I was more interested in playing the game. I didn't want to be that guy who's more into taking the picture about living life instead of just living life.
This game is perfect to my nephew!
Nice! I hope he gets a chance to play it sometime.
It is cool to have a loving family and a dad like you . Spending quality time with the children .I never had any fun like this with my dad , it's always about studying and disciplining me .
I'm sorry to hear that. My dad's no longer with us, but he did teach me how to love even though he didn't have the best upbringing either. Be encouraged that your future is whatever you make it regardless of who or what your parents were.
Thank you Mr Luke
Have you ever played Quoridor with your kids @lukestokes
Really good game I have played with my nephew's before and the kids just love it!!
Oh, that looks really interesting. No, I haven't seen it before.
Number 33. Moving up!
Looks like a great game. It looks especially good because it's hard to see how it could end in tears like so many of the games in our home :)
Hahah... oh, when it comes to the under-developed human brains that exist within these little mini-humans, anything can and will end in tears at some point. For the most part, we do alright though. Thanks for commenting, Jason. I hope the magpies are being nice down under for you. :)
There is nothing better than sharing with family :)
wow That looks like a fun game. Where do you get that?
I linked to Amazon in the review. You can probably buy it at board game shops as well.
Thanks for this post, i have not heard about this before, i will try and get it for my kids. Good job.
Nice one, i have not heard about this before, i think i will get one for my kids. Good job.
Never seen this board game before and it looks like great fun!
I might just have to buy it
It's been a long time since you posted about a table top game! :D This looks like a hybrid between bejeweled, mahjong and dominoes. Seems very interesting. I wonder what types of strategies can be used to block opponents' moves.
Hey Jed! Yeah, I posted a few more recently. I'll do more as I enjoy them, and it seems the comments are really positive.
With this one, it's more about being able to block someone's ability to score a Quirkle if you change up how the pieces are aligned so it would cause a problem. It's a fun game though it can be a little long for the little ones.
My internet these past days have been non-existent, so I haven't been able to catch up. It's always great to read a post that was made out of pure enjoyment :)
Thanks Jed. :)
Congratulations @lukestokes
