We really enjoy playing games! Board games, video games, random games! We are a pretty competitive bunch to say the least although I tend to fold under pressure which is why I won't play Risk with them. The kids are finally getting to that super fun age where they can play more in depth games. For Christmas we all got new games and we've moved most (not all lol) of our games to the shelf in the background of this first picture!
These four decided to start up a game of King of Tokyo without the parents! I was heading out the door to take someone somewhere and it was great to see them initiate a game on their own together without our input! I am looking forward to years and years of game play with all the kids!
Jacob's friend Isaac came over and they played Jacobs new Harry Potter Lego Chess that he put together for Christmas from Grandma Dierking! I would gander than concentrating at our house is rather difficult as it's always loud and crazy!
The epic RISK game that required not one but 2 game boards for all the players. Needless to say I don't think they finished but alliances were made and broken this night!
Let the fun begin!
Before the RISK game there was a game of Tokyo!
Gotta love CATAN! We have the expansion so we can play with up to 8 players....yes we have played with all 7 of us...no I don't want to do it anytime soon again! One little at a time is about what I can handle!
New Years Eve we split into two groups so the games were more manageable. We had one table for Rummikub and one table for King of Tokyo. Our table was definitely more sophisticated and mature...that other table was WAY too roudy!
Rockband...Michael and I have had this game since our college years-so going on 20 years (yikes)! The kids LOVE it and we love playing along.
The littles received Beyblades for Christmas and allowed the bigs to play...I honestly think they have had more fun with them! Pop Pop even got into the fun!
Here we are playing one of Michael's Christmas presents on New Years, the new CATAN-Game of Thrones! It is a great version with enough of the classic game but enough tweaks to make it a new game!
