Game Night!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? What about a game night with friends? It might have been a while since you have played board games or cards, but it is something everyone loves to do. Whether its "adults only" or a family affair, game nights are a fun way to get competitive or just have a good time with friends. 

A few of our favorite games are Cranium, Settlers of Catan, and Giant Jenga (some might say we are obsessed with Jenga). We are even known to carry it in our car...you know, just in case! 

If you have a big group and want just want to have some fun Giant Jenga is for you. You can play with as many people as you want and everyone will be entertained. Goal: just don't lose. 
The highest we have ever stacked the game is around 35 rows. It was over 5 feet tall! But be careful you may want to wear a helmet! JENNNNNGGGAAA. 

Next, is Settlers of Catan. This is our "nerd" game. It can only be played with 4 people and there are a ton of rules, but I promise it is fun. The best way I can describe it is a fast monopoly, except there are a lot of alliances formed and sneaky trading involved! 


Last, is the game of Cranium. One day this will be a classic game along with Scrabble and Clue. It is honestly the craziest, silliest, smartest game you will play. It is set up to "challenge" each part of your brain with topics like Creative Cat, Word Worm, Data Head, and Star Performer. The challenges range from humming a song (Star Performer) to spelling words backwards while alternating letters with your teammates (Word Worm).  It really is a show and a board game, throughly entertaining. 


We also LOVE Banana Grams! Check it out. But fair warning, once you start hosting game nights, regular dinners might seem boring. 

With Love,
