"What are the Republican and Democratic parties?", "How does a vote count?", "What are swing states?", and "What are electoral votes?".

We weren't sure what to do, so I pulled out a new game I just got, Stuff Happens. It said it was for 13 and up, so the little kids paired up with the older ones playing. We had the … [Read more...]

I just wanted toshare a couple of fun photos of my 5 year old nephew playing with the game Gooey Louie over the weekend. This game is hysterical - you have to pull boogers out of his nose to play the game. One person will pull "the" booger that causes his brain to pop out of his head and shoot into the air. My guys played this with their cousin … [Read more...]
My guys have been all over playing with our Nintendo Switch, even more than usual, thanks to our trip to Nintendo HQ in Redmond last week.

With the holidays coming, I wanted to … [Read more...]

Sharing some quick photos from a game we played at the beach a couple of weeks back: Who's the Dude. It's your classic charades game with a twist - act out clues using the inflatable "Dude" that comes with the game. Seems pretty simple and silly, right? It was good for many laughs throughout the week with family. The kids and family … [Read more...]

We got three games to start with the Switch - the new Legend of Zelda Game, Breath of the Wild, Super Bomberman and 1-2 Switch. A lot of friends have been asking me about it, since it … [Read more...]
