The first Classic game to review is obviously Yahtzee. I have been playing Yahtzee as long as I can remember. Whenever we would visit my grandparents there was always a game and I loved it. It was so great for quality time and it gave me a lot of good memories. So I might be a…

Scrabble Slam
During the middle of summer if you are looking for a very small game to pack when travelling or for camping this could be the one. Scrabble slam is a 10 to 15 minute game for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up. This is a good game for kids to work on vocabulary…
The Mind
The Mind is quickly becoming one of my absolute favourite games. Its a card game for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up and takes roughly half an hour. Don’t let the simplicity fool you this one becomes tense pretty quickly. I brought this one to a cottage. It was definitely the hit of…

Blurble
Ages 8 and up, 4 to 8 players, however I have played this with more. Let’s start with how to play, the “blurbler” places the stack between themselves and the player to their left. When the two players are ready a card is flipped over, the first person to say a word that starts with…
