Family Game Night
My family and I had the opportunity to attend a day at GenCon
– an entire convention dedicated to gaming.
Held annually in Indianapolis, GenCon started 50 years ago and has been
growing since the beginning. This 4-day
convention sold out for the first time ever and is said to have hosted almost 208,000 attendees.
So for this Thursday Three, I thought I would share three
family friendly games we played at GenCon.
Use a sticky chameleon tongue to capture bugs! A roll of the dice will tell you which color
and type of but to try to capture. Get
the right bug on your tongue, get it off the table as fast as you can or
another player might steal it! When you
collect the correct bug, you collect a token.
The player with the most tokens at the end of the game wins! Kids will love this game for the sticky
tongues used to catch those insects.
Kingdomino
by Blue Orange
Ages 8+, 2-4 players
Ages 8+, 2-4 players
Try to create your
kingdom by matching dominoes with different terrains. Your land can only be 5x5 and the order of
play changes round to round. There’s a
little bit of math involved here – from sequencing numbers to adding
points. There’s also a bit of strategy
needed to score the most points at the end of the game.
Purchase directly through Blue Orange or Amazon.
