ScoutTN Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've seen these mentioned recently, but don't know anyone IRL who has them to see. Which are your kids/your favorites and why? :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Frog Juice is our favorite Gamewright card game. I love their games and now we have quite a few. We also enjoy: Rat-a-tat-cat, Zeus on the Loose, Slamwich, Scrambled States. Forbidden Island is a fun cooperative game. We pull out Hiss when we have young 3-4 year olds over. We have Sleeping Queens and Loot, we have yet to play them, but I hear they're great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We only have Zeus on the Loose, but my son loves it! He would happily play it every day if I was up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Posting here so I'll remember to check which ones we have downstairs but quickly, Hiss has been a family favorite since 2004. The teens will still play it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edelweiss Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We have several, but our favorite is definitely Rat-A-Tat-Cat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland_Mom Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We have: Loot Scrambled States of America Scrambled States of America 2 Slamwich Rat-a-tat-cat Go Bananas Hocus Focus Our favorite: Scrabled States of America - fun and educational. Kids learn the states, but also fun tidbits about states such as their state motto, the number of presidents from a state, state flower, etc. Kids even get practice measuring when they draw a "Go the Distance" card. The person who is the closest to a particular state gets the cards from that play. My boys enjoy playing Go Bananas together. Players compete to spot the polar opposite monkey cards. If you mess up you lose your cards. There are things you have to watch out for like "gotcha gators" and monkeys holding bananas that make the game interesting and fun. This game takes about 12 minutes to play and is easy to learn. Loot is very fun. It says you need to be 10 yrs. old, but I think a game loving kid who is 8 could easily play. This game has good strategy. Your goal is to be the player with the most gold at the end of the game. Various cards enable you to get "Loot". The game takes about 20 minutes to play. Hocus Focus is a fun, visual game. About 8 cards are laid face up and you have to spot two cards that are completely different in 5 category areas: size, color, hat, wand, and shoes. If you spot a pair that is completely different, you get to keep the cards. Whoever has the most pairs at the end of the game wins! Rat a tat Cat is an gun card game that involves basic addition. Your goal is to go out with the lowest total score when the cards in your hand are added together. A great math game that also involves memory and good timing. There are a few fun twists to the cards with power cards and rat cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
