Boo has Hyper Dash. He got it for Christmas. He still sleeps with the freaking thing.

I actually did a whole series of posts about my search and ultimate acquisition of said toy before Christmas.

I mean ‘Isn’t Santa wonderful!”

Take a look at a quick little game called BLINK. It is a card game, easy to handicap (by changing the amount of cards in respective hands) so adults can play with kiddos, and each game takes about 2 minutes. Perfect for waiting at restaurants or for the airplane, etc. My college age son still likes it and we still play!

we love Set and Quiddler here. So much so that we’ve had to buy them both at least twice (’cause with a little one, cards eventually get torn or lost or chewed).

We were introduced to Set just in the past month – and I can say for fact that kids LOVE IT. It’s like watching grownups play Texas Hold ‘Em.

Great suggestsions for family fun. Another one you might want to consider is ‘Shear Panic’ – very cute board with sheep and relatively simple rules but lots of fun.

The sons of the Annalucia (both the 10-year-old and the 23-year-old) are great fans of the Settlers of Catan. The Annalucia would be a greater fan if she did not so often roll the Sevens

One holiday season years ago, we got hooked on Pass the Pigs after playing it at my in-laws’ house. I think I might need to go dig this one out of the game closet! Great list.
