The goal for us is that we read the books we already own instead of buying new books. I saw great success with this in 2021, and I feel like 2022 was even better. 2023 I feel like I listened to more audiobooks of books I don't own, and got more from the library than usual, so I kind of strayed from this goal a bit, but I still was able to give away a lot of books in the house!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's a running joke about how many books I own. The books that I own and have never read are in the thousands. This used to be funny to me, but at some point, a switch flipped, and it became overwhelming to me. So now my goal is not just to read as many books as possible, but to be extremely picky about what I keep after I read it. I only keep books that I will absolutely read again or will pass down to my children. I still have such a long way to go, but I do see how much progress I'm making!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>I read 131 books in 2023</b>. This is a lot less than last year, but I'm okay with that. I was more intentional this year with the books I read - I got rid of a lot of books without even opening them, which is very hard for me!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm very happy with this ratio of the books I kept and books I got rid of. I want to stay around this ratio of being picky with the books I'm holding onto. This is only keeping track of the books I read - not the ones I discarded without reading, which were probably between over 100 throughout the year.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31;

The goal for us is that we read the books we already own instead of buying new books. I saw great success with this in 2021, and I feel like 2022 was even better.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;">It's a running joke about how many books I own. The books that I own that I've never read are in the thousands. This used to be funny to me, but at some point, a switch flipped, and it became overwhelming to me. So now my goal is not just to read as many books as possible, but to be extremely picky about what I keep after I read it. I only keep books that I will absolutely read again or will pass down to my children. I still have such a long way to go, but I do see how much progress I'm making!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;">I read 249 books in 2022. Now... lest you think that I just sit around eating bonbons every day, or ignoring my family, etc., that's not the case. A large majority of these books are children's books that I'm reading to see if they're worth keeping, and another large majority are audiobooks. Since I'm in the car a lot, I can get a lot of reading done with audiobooks.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;">I kept less books this year than last year, which is great. I want to stay around this ratio of being picky with the books I'm holding onto.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;">Oh, and also... I had Covid in 2022, which gave me a LOT of reading time for five days, haha!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I challenged myself to read more books I owned and get rid of as many as possible! I also started counting audiobooks and juvenile fiction, which I had not counted in previous years, until last year. Having that group really added accountability. I am so happy to say I read 203 books in 2021 and bought only FIVE for the entire year! I also donated way more than I kept. I made pie charts because I'm just a huge dork like that and they make me happy.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-ZpCgu7GG3nG-SwRLo_RsoekYykz5HyfdwH-i4poAJC49P2F4q5B-YopOwrxH3yW-q6J2oyilWYepPn19EO7ox01FRE4w6uDdaO9pe1bA81WpMdU2ncJ0N4LTufLePMmEk_Nh2kqb2tP5nHBHHRQqpi5tHBzvZ6HtmlAkC5VlYpZgojFaMHo6CXdi=s393" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="245" data-original-width="393" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-ZpCgu7GG3nG-SwRLo_RsoekYykz5HyfdwH-i4poAJC49P2F4q5B-YopOwrxH3yW-q6J2oyilWYepPn19EO7ox01FRE4w6uDdaO9pe1bA81WpMdU2ncJ0N4LTufLePMmEk_Nh2kqb2tP5nHBHHRQqpi5tHBzvZ6HtmlAkC5VlYpZgojFaMHo6CXdi=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi14NkqGC0uupT81h2j69XcKU5KqAc1ctHDg7CudNdmXsLtm2oI4wfVDYiR2ObidvrkBkrIr9GC7IAjyBS5W85-reKkgsz3BI86FkQOLr-x4eEwKCuyxKBfpaBf7sqcZYjWihbKLcrKw1-_bKxd19ns1FHa_M_xEB1X-TZi3cqSu6vNhlyJEzpIi-YM=s443" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="247" data-original-width="443" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi14NkqGC0uupT81h2j69XcKU5KqAc1ctHDg7CudNdmXsLtm2oI4wfVDYiR2ObidvrkBkrIr9GC7IAjyBS5W85-reKkgsz3BI86FkQOLr-x4eEwKCuyxKBfpaBf7sqcZYjWihbKLcrKw1-_bKxd19ns1FHa_M_xEB1X-TZi3cqSu6vNhlyJEzpIi-YM=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Here's my 2021 list:</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #313c31; text-align: left;"><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px; list-style: none; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px;"><li style="background: url("https://resources.blogblog.com/blogblog/data/dots/bullet.gif") 3px 0.45em no-repeat; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;">"Stealth" by Stuart Woods (1)</li><li style="background: url("https://resources.blogblog.com/blogblog/data/dots/bullet.gif") 3px 0.45em no-repeat; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px 15px;">"Anne of Windy Poplars" by L.M.

Today's game is one we have owned for so many years I can't believe we haven't made it through all the cards yet. Or... we've made it through the cards and have just forgotten!! It's called Disney Pictopia.</div>

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This game is really easy to play. Lay out the game board, pick a moving and make sure you grab a matching answer dial and five wager coins.<br />
<br />
On your turn, roll the die. Advance that number of spaces. When you land on a space it will tell you which category to read from for your question. <b>All other</b> <b>players</b> wager a coin by placing it face down on the game board. Read the question out loud. For most of the questions, the players work together to decide the final answer. Once the final answer is decided (whether in a group or individual category), if the answer is correct, players flip over their wager coins and advance that number of spaces. Move on to the next player and continue the game.<br />

<b>How to Win:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Get to the castle space and answer the Final Challenge question correctly.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
Thumbs up! We definitely know a lot about Disney, so this is a fun trivia game for us. There are some tougher ones about the Disney parks and some older movies, and there are some opinion questions thrown in for fun as well, so there's a lot of variety.<br />

We do also have the adult version of this game, and there aren't many categories we have to skip over with the kids. So, I think this is a game for the whole family no matter which version you have! Also, a lot of times we like to help each other out with hints of the clue words we are missing, so that can be a lot of fun as well!<br />
<br />
<b>Great for Learning:</b><br />
Reaction time, brainstorming, vocabulary words<br />

This is a great game that my friend Kandace got for me because she knows I'm as obsessed with new games as she is!<br />

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shuffle the deck and deal all of the cards face down, giving an equal number of cards to each player.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">Take the top card from your pile and place it face up in the center.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">The next player should then take the top card from their pile and place it on top of the center card, and so on.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d4045; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">If both cards have the same number of avocados on them, it is a smash! All players must smash their hands down in the center. The last player to react loses the round and takes all of the cards from the center, adding them to the bottom of their pile.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">The losing player then begins the next round by placing their next card face up in the center.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">While turning over your card, you must also count avocados aloud-so the first player always begins with "one avocado".The next player must follow in sequence, saying "two avocados", and so on. Players continue up to "15 avocados" and then return to "one avocado" as they reveal the cards.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">If a card matches the number said aloud on that turn, it is a smash! As before, all players must smash their hands down in the center, and the losing player takes the cards from the center.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">When you reveal a Smash! Card, it is an automatic smash!</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d4045; text-align: justify;">When you reveal a Guacamole Card, all players must shout, "Guacamole!" and the last player to react loses the round. However, if anybody erroneously smashes their hand down in the center on a Guacamole Card, then they are the loser for that round, regardless of who shouted last.</span></span><br />

<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
We love this game! I will suggest clipping your fingernails before playing, haha!<br />
<br />
<b>Great for Learning:</b><br />
Multi-level thinking (you are playing one number, saying another number out loud, and trying to remember if it matches the number card you are playing on top of!), reaction time, reflexes</div>

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While the map is placed in the center of the table, each player takes his set of 45 colored train cars and its matching scoring marker. The marker will be placed on the start.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shuffle the train cards and deal 4 cards to each player. The remaining deck of train car cards are placed next to the board and the top five cards from the deck are placed face-up. The Longest Path Bonus card is also placed face up next to the board.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, someone shuffles the Destination Ticket cards and deals 3 cards to each player.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each player decides which ones they wish to keep. A player must keep at least two Destination Ticket cards, but may keep all three if he wants.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The returned cards are placed on the bottom of the Destination Ticket deck which is also next to the board.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All players must keep their Destination Tickets secret until the end of the game.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On his turn each player must choose to perform one of the following actions:</span></div>
<div style="height: 0px;">
</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; margin: 0px 0px 20px 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">draw Train Car Cards</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; margin: 0px 0px 20px 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">claim a route</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; margin: 0px 0px 20px 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">draw Destination Tickets</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The player can perform only one of those actions.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The player can draw two Train Car cards. He may choose between the face-up cards or he draws the top card from the deck.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If he takes a face-up card, he must turn a replacement card face-up from the deck.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then the player draws his second card, either from the face-up cards or from the top of the deck. But when he picks a locomotive card from the face-up cards, he can't pick up a second card from the deck.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's allowed to have any number of cards in your hand at any time.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are 8 types of regular Train Car cards, plus Locomotive cars and their colors match various routes between cities on the board.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Locomotives are multi-colored and act as a wild card that can be part of any set of cards.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If a replacement card is a locomotive, the player can't take it immediately. If at any time, 3 of the 5 face-up cards are Locomotives, all 5 cards are immediately discarded and 5 new ones are turned face-up to replace them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When the deck is exhausted, the discards are reshuffled good and become a new draw pile deck.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When the deck gets empty and no discards are available, the player can't draw another Train car card anymore. Instead he may only claim a route or draw Destination Ticket cards.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A player must play a set of cards equal to the number of spaces in that route to be able to claim it. The set of cards must be of the same specific type.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When a route is claimed, the player can place one of his plastic trains on each of the spaces of the route and all cards used to claim the route are discarded.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A player can claim any open route on the board and they don't need to connect to any of his previously played routes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Player can claim maximum one route on his turn. When cities are connected by double-routes, then the player can't claim both routes to the same cities.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A player can draw more Destination Ticket cards if he wants by drawing 3 new cards from the top of the Destination Ticket Deck.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He keeps at least one of the cards, but may also keep 2 or all 3. The returned cards are placed on the bottom of the Destination Ticket Deck.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each Destination Ticket includes the name of two cities on the map and a point value and when the player can complete a connection between these two cities, he will score those points at the end of the game.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If the player fails to connect the cities, then the indicated amount of points will be deducted.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Destination Tickets are kept secret and a player may have as many cards as he wants.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When a player's stock of colored plastic trains gets down to 2 or fewer trains at the end of his turn, the final turn will start.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After that turn, the game will end and players must calculate their final scores.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The points earned of completed routes are already accounted for during the game.<span class="ezoic-adpicker-ad" id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-117" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then players reveal all their Destination Tickets and add or subtract the indicated values.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The player with the longest continuous path of routes receives this special bonus card and can add 10 points to his score (in case of a tie, both players receive the points).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3d4045; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The continuous path may include loops and pass through the same city several times, but a given plastic train may never be used twice.</span></div>

<b>Verdict:</b><br />
There are a lot of rules to this game, but once you have them down pat it really doesn't seem like that many anymore. You can tweak them <i>a little</i>, as long as you keep in mind that not everyone you play with will condone the rule-tweaking!<br />

<br />
Seriously, we got this game when my kids were <b>little</b>, and we still play it!<br />
<br />
<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Set out the box and spinner. Shuffle the cards and put them in a pile next to the box. Shake the box side-to-side to make sure everything inside gets mixed up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Flip over one card and put it face-up next to the box. Any player can look for any of the face-up cards on their turn!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Spin the spinner. If it points to "Wave!", shake the box side-to-side so everything gets mixed up, and spin again!<br />
<br />
If it points to any other space, look under <b>one</b> puzzle-piece door that matches a location the spinner is pointing to. Everyone can look, to see what's under the pieces!<br />

Place the game board in the middle of the table. Shuffle all the cards and place them face down next to the board. Place everything within the reach of all players. Place your pawns on the Start space.<br />
<br />
Roll the die and move on the game board. If your pawn lands on a green space, put the green lenses in the glasses and get ready to look AMAZING!!<br />

Put your wacky glasses on, let the other team or player set the timer, and begin! You are drawing the picture with the wacky glasses on in this time limit. No speaking or miming. No letters or numbers.<br />
<br />
If you get it right, you may roll the dice and move forward that amount of spaces.<br /><br />There are special spaces as well. You may get to choose the color of your lenses, you might have to draw with your opposite hand, you may be allowed to draw without the wacky glasses, or you might have to skip a turn.<br />

<br />
<br />
Start the DVD. Begin by one person rolling the dice. You move the number of spaces shown on the one die, and then play depending on the symbol you roll on the other die.<br />
<br />
If you roll a "My Play", you select that option from the DVD. You're the only one who will answer this question. If you guess correctly, you keep rolling.<br />
<br />
If you roll an "All Play", select that option from the DVD. Everyone will play at once. If the rolling player guesses correctly first, they keep rolling. If someone else guesses correctly first, they can either move their game piece forward one space or force someone else to draw a Buzz Card.<br />
<br />
If you get a trivia card, there are three options:<br /><br />Take Three Challenge - you must identify an actor, actress or movie from three clues on the card.<br />
Songs and Slogans Challenge - Answer a question associated with a song, slogan or tagline.<br />
Pop Culture Challenge - Answer a question related to movie pop culture.<br />

<br />
You may also roll "Player's Choice" and you can choose between My Play, a Trivia Card, or a Buzz Card.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
You will land on "Stop: All Play to Win" and choose that from the DVD menu. Everyone plays. If the rolling player guesses correctly first, they WIN! If the rolling player loses the challenge, they move to the next part on the board and wait for their next turn and another chance to win. You must win the challenge to win the game.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
We absolutely love this game, and I bet you can find a version out there that fits your fancy!<br />

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
If you know Uno, you basically know Uno Attack. Everyone gets 7 cards. One card is laid down to create the discard pile. Open the Launcher, insert the remaining cards facedown inside, close the Launcher, and turn it on.<br />
<br />
Play just like regular Uno - playing by number, color or symbol. If you don't have any card that matches, hit the Launcher button. If nothing happens, play moves to the next player. If cards shoot out, add them to your hand and play passes to the next player.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hit 4:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next player must hit the Launcher button four times! This card is also a wild card, so player who plays it also chooses the color that resumes play.</div>

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
Before you begin a round, go ahead and decide any trio of numbers. If anyone rolls that combination of numbers during the game, they get the fuzzy die!<br />

<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the round, one player (the dice roller) tosses their three colored dice (red, white, or black). In round one, you are trying to roll ones, in round two you'll try to roll twos, in round three you'll try to roll threes, and so forth.<br />
<br />
Every die that matches the number of the round being played scores one point. The dice roller keeps rolling all three dice until no points are scored. Play moves to the next person, who begins to roll and try to get as many points as possible.<br />
<br />
Have a scorekeeper who will keep a running total of every player's score on scrap paper. Play continues with the dice being rolled and passed until someone scores 21 points.<br />
<br />
<b>Some special rules:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Bunco</b> - If all three dice rolled match the number of the round being played, a Bunco is scored. A Bunco is worth 21 points. At this time, the player shouts, "Bunco!", the bell is rung, and the round is over.<br />
<br />
<b>3 of a kind</b> - If all three dice rolled are the same number but NOT the number of the round being played, you score five points.<br />
<br />
<b>Fuzzy Die Roll</b> - Anytime someone rolls that special 3-number combination from the beginning of the game, the fuzzy die is tossed to that player. At the end of the entire game, whoever is holding that die gets a bonus score.<br />
<br />
<b>Ending a Round</b> - When any player scores 21 points the round ends. Ring the bell!<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
After 6 rounds, the person holding the fuzzy die is awarded a bonus "W" (win). The scorekeeper adds up the amount of "W"s per player and the number of Buncos.<br />
<br />
Fun for small amounts of friends and team play!<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
We really like this game - it's very easy and fun to play!<br />

Separate the queens from all the other cards. These are a few of the queens:<br />

<br />
Shuffle the 12 queens and place them face down in the center of the playing area in four rows of three. Let them sleep.<br />
<br />
Shuffle the rest of the cards (red backed cards), deal five cards to each player, and place the remaining cards face down in a draw pile in the center of the queens.<br />
<br />
On your turn you get to take one action and then draw a card.<br />
<br />
You may play a KING to awaken a Sleeping Queen. Place your King on the discard pile and flip over any queen from the sleeping area. It's now "awake" and you get those points. If you pick the Rose Queen, you get to wake up an additional sleeping queen!<br />

Play a KNIGHT to steal one of your opponent's awakened queens. Lay your knight on the discard pile, then select any of their queens and place it face up in front of you.<br />
<br />Beware - they can immediately stop your knight by playing a DRAGON card. Discard both cards if that happens, and your opponent keeps their queen. You each pick a new card from the draw pile so you have five cards in your hand.<br />

Play a SLEEPING POTION card to put one of your opponents' awakened queens back to sleep. Place your card on the discard pile and then put one of their queens face down in any open spot among the other queens.<br />
<br />
Beware - if they have a WAND they can immediately defend your sleeping potion. Discard both cards if that happens, and your opponent gets to keep her queen. You each pick a new card from the draw pile so you have five cards in your hand.<br />

<br />
Play a JESTER card and take a chance! Place your card on the discard pile, then turn the top draw card over. If it's a power card (king, knight, dragon, potion, wand or jester), add it to your hand and take another turn. If it is a number card, starting with you and continuing to the left, count off the number of players equal to the number on the card. The last player counted gets to awaken and keep a queen from the sleeping queens!<br />

You can also choose to discard one or more cards to draw new cards. There are three ways to do this:<br />
<br />
<b>One - Discard a single card of any kind and draw a new card.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Two - Discard a pair of identical number cards and draw two cards:</b><br />

<br />
<br />
Make sure you always end up with five cards in your hand!<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
The first player to collect 5 queens or 50 points worth of queens wins!<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
We love this game and like to be flexible in the math skills. It's quite easy to make players use subtraction, multiplication, or division skills to create their equations if addition is too simple or they need to work on other skills!<br /><br />We even played this with my 4-year old brother-in-law a few months ago, and he caught on very quickly! Young kids can do the addition skills when you show them the visuals of the cards!<br />
<br />
P.S. Fun fact - this game was created by a 6-year old! Even cooler!<br /><br /><b>Great for Learning:</b><br />

<br />
This is not a game you want to play if you're looking for something quick or NOT mentally challenging. Let me put it this way - MENSA considers it one of the top games to play.<br />
<br />
<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
You're trying to identify a "set" of three cards from 12 cards laid out. Each card has a symbol which is a color, has 1/2/3 symbols on the card, and is a different type of shading. A set must be the same feature on each card, or different on each card. It's MUCH more difficult than it sounds!<br />
<br />
Lay out your twelve cards like so:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As you see a set, remove it and prove it to the other players. The magic rule to keep in mind is "If two are, and one is not, it is <i>not</i> a set."<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This is a not set:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Although all have different colors and different shadings, two of the cards have the same symbol.</b></div>

<br />
As you remove sets, add three more cards at a time to the layout.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
We like this game, but it is very mentally tiring. It is <i>not</i> that easy to find sets. But when you find one, you feel so accomplished! We typically set a time limit and then count how many sets we have, or just play until we feel so tired mentally that we're done with the game. It's a very flexible game in that way!<br />

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
Each player starts with 32 discs and uses one color throughout the whole game.<br />
<br />
Place two discs on the board as shown:<br />

<br />
A move consists of "outflanking" your opponent's disc(s) and then flipping those discs to your color. "Outflank" means that you place a disc on the board so that your opponent's row(s) of disc(s) is/are bordered at each end by a disc of your color.<br />
<br />
Here's an example: I place my black disc below the white disc so that I'm surrounding it, and then I get to flip it:<br />

<br />
The game moves rather slowly at first, usually capturing one at a time for the first few moves. Don't worry - it ramps up, and you have to be very cautious in what move you decide to make!<br />
<br />
<b>Some Things to Remember:</b><br />
Black always moves first.<br />
<br />
If it's your turn and you can't outflank your opponent, skip your turn.<br />
<br />
You can capture discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally as long as they are in a continuous straight line.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
Typically, once all 64 squares are covered, the game is over. Add up how many squares are covered by your color and the highest number wins. It is possible for a game to end before this, essentially in a stalemate, in which case you would still just add up your discs and count them as points.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
Love! Love! Such a great game! This is a hit with everyone we've taught it to.<br />
<br />
<b>Great for Learning:</b><br />
Strategy, patience (it's so similar to chess), critical thinking, thinking ahead to consequences of their movesAmandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289515864801482122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309351448478610016.post-20352905022891761242020-04-29T18:30:00.001-04:002020-05-05T12:18:54.787-04:00Monopoly HotelsI have another version of Monopoly Hotels for you if you like Monopoly but need a shorter version: Monopoly Hotels!<br />

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
This is much different from other versions of Monopoly!<br /><br />Each player starts with one gray base and 5 matching color floors. Go ahead and place one floor into your hotel base. Take your cash ($250). Shuffle all the cards and draw 5 per person. This is your hand.<br />

<br />
On your turn, take two cards from the draw pile and add them to your hand. You may play up to three actions on your turn. You can only have 7 cards in your hand, so if you have more than that in your hand at the end of the turn, discard until you have 7. If you have zero cards, on your next turn, pick up five cards from the draw pile.<br />
<br />
There are three types of cards. These are the cards you play into a hotel room.<br />
<br />
A room card is played as one of your actions. You can later collect rent on it as long as there is no bill in the room.<br />
<br />
The bill card is played in your opponent's room as one action. You can play it in an empty room but not in a room with a celebrity. They will have to use one action to pay it off.<br />
<br />
A celebrity card is played in one of your rooms as one action. This protects it from bills.<br />

Everyone is dealt 10 cards. Do not look at them before placing them, but start placing the cards immediately, facing you, starting at the number 50 slot in your rack and working down to the number 5 at the front.<br />

You are all trying to get your numbers in numerical order. The highest number in the deck is 60 and the lowest is 1. On your turn, you will take either the top card from the discard pile or the top card from the draw pile.<br />
<br />
If you take from the discard pile, you must exchange the card you've picked up with one in your rack. Discard the card from your rack.<br />
<br />
If you take from the draw pile, you may exchange the card for one in your rack or simply discard the card.<br />
<br />
For example, if I drew the number 57, I would want to put it in the number 50 slot since there are only 60 numbers total. I would replace my number 24 card.<br />

Before you begin the game, you need to separate the green cards from the red cards. Find the two dragon cards and remove them from the deck. Shuffle the deck and remove 12 cards if there are two players playing, remove 10 cards if three people are playing, and remove 8 cards if four players are playing. This is optional, actually - if you don't mind a longer game, just leave all the cards in the deck. Shuffle the dragon cards back into the deck.<br />

On your turn, you may choose one of two options.<br />
<br />
<b>Option 1:</b><br />
Draw a card. You'll draw from the red pile, add it to your hand, and then say, "Reload!" to signal that your turn is over. There is a 9 card hand limit, so make sure you play something once you hit 9 cards!<br />
<br />
<b>Option 2:</b><br />
Attack a creature/enhancement card. Let's say I'm going to attack this wild boar card. I want the three points associated with it. I need to roll an 8 if I attack with a strike, I need to roll a 7 if I attack with a stomp, and I need to roll a 7 if I attack with a scream.<br />

Announce which card you are trying to capture and show the cards you are using by placing them in front of you. Take one die for each card you are playing and roll them. In the previous examples, if I lay down three cards, I will use three dice to roll. <b>Remember - the dice only go up to the number 4, so if you need a 12 to win the card, it's very unlikely that you'll win by using only three cards/dice!</b> You can use up to six cards to attack, plus any enhancements.<br />
<br />
You capture the card if the total of your dice is equal to or greater than the related value on the card.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
Both dragons are defeated, not necessarily by the same person.<br />
<br />All players total up their victory points. Whoever has the most creature cards captured also gets three bonus points added to their score. Highest total wins.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
This is such a great game! It's really engaging, I love the graphics, and it's a fairly short game if you need something like that.<br />
<br />
<b>Great for Learning:</b><br />
Math, strategy (beware trying to get a lot of enhancements, which means you won't end up with as many creature points!), patterns, matching, probability, risk-taking<br />

If you've ever played Six Cubes or Fill or Bust, the scoring is very similar.<br />

<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
Roll the six dice inside the dice cup. After each roll, set aside dice that are worth points and roll the rest of the dice. You must remove <i>at least</i> one die after each roll. If you're lucky enough to set aside all six dice, you can roll them all again to build your running total. If you can't set aside any dice after a roll, you've rolled a Farkle. You lose all your points for that turn. So if you're racking up some points, you may want to stop and keep your points instead of risking losing them all!<br />
<br />
Single 1s and single 5s are worth points. Other than that you need combos. The combos are: three of any number, four of any number, five of any number, six of any number, a 6-dice straight, three pairs, four of any number with a pair, or two triplets. Of course, you must get these in one roll.<br />
<br />
For example, I rolled once and got a set of four and a pair. This would earn me 1,500 points.<br />

<br />
I rolled again and got three pairs. This would earn me 1,500 more points. Personally,I would probably stop rolling at this point!<br />

<br />
The rules say to play to 10,000 but you can choose any number to stop at. Honestly, getting to 10,000 won't take very long if you have some great rolls!<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
Love, love this game! It's such a simple game and easy to travel with!<br />

Pass out the money and set up the game board as needed to play. Shuffle all the extra money and Chance cards together. Put the pile inside the cash machine.<br />
<br />
On your turn, roll the die and move around the track. You basically play the same way as regular Monopoly, but when you land on a cash machine space, you get to put your debit card in the cash machine!<br />

Whatever cash you get, you get to keep! If you get Chance cards, pick the one you most want to do and do it. These cards can be really silly actions or you may get a free property!<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The game is over when the cash machine is empty or someone goes bankrupt. The player with the most money wins!<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />

We love regular Monopoly and this one is great for when we need a quick version. We all love the cash machine because it's so random!<br /><br /><b>Great for Learning:</b><br />

There are 100 cards in the deck, each with a single number on it between 1 and 10, but some numbers appear twice, and some prime numbers don't appear at all.<br />
<br />
The dealer shuffles the deck and places nine cards face up in a 3x3 grid in the center of the table.<br />

At the same time, all players (including the dealer) study the cards in the grid and try to create an equation using at least three cards and as many math symbols as needed. Only addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square roots are allowed, but the cool thing about this game is you can adapt it to whomever you are playing with! You can also use parentheses to make your equation work. Each number card can only be used once.<br />
<br />
When a player finds an equation, she shouts the result of the equation, which immediately times out the game and gives her a chance to prove that the math works. If the proof checks out, she takes the cards she used and keeps them.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's an example:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would shout, "20!" Then I would say, "0+5+15=20". This proves the equation is correct, so I take these four cards.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those cards then get replaced by the dealer:</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I can yell out, "94!" The proof is that 74+40-30+10=94. I can take all those cards.</div>

<br />
If at any point players all get stuck and there are more cards in the deck, the dealer can add 3 more cards to the table. Play continues until all the cards in the deck are used up and no more equations can be found.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
Once all the cards are gone or no more equations can be made, the game is over and everyone counts their cards. Each card is one point and the player with the most points wins.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
Love this game! It's so <i>tough, </i>it's fun and exciting too! I love that there are various ways to play to make it easier for younger players. You can even leave out higher numbers or put more cards out in the grid.<br />
<br />
<b>Great for Learning:</b><br />
Mental math, speed drills, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, solving equations, creating equations, proving equations<br />

Today's game is one that we've played since my kids were little, and they <i>still</i> enjoy it! This one is called Zingo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_k4-sLdNLgeT8oY_-y7o9tg_6JNbVDlOV4d8HtBuzgPhiSHFK-cPnBguB0iJECAKtRV3UfFxCGZzeoktuhMIsDihKG_ovARPD9DrjzSzD6mx6GWkqUbdWwF6ElBOePUL0lhyxDZI1USE/s1600/20200415_222642.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_k4-sLdNLgeT8oY_-y7o9tg_6JNbVDlOV4d8HtBuzgPhiSHFK-cPnBguB0iJECAKtRV3UfFxCGZzeoktuhMIsDihKG_ovARPD9DrjzSzD6mx6GWkqUbdWwF6ElBOePUL0lhyxDZI1USE/s320/20200415_222642.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

Now, if you're thinking Zingo is probably a heck of a lot like Bingo, you'd be right! Just a little more action-packed!<br />
<br />
<b>The Point:</b><br />You want to cover all your spaces!<br />
<br />
<b>Gameplay:</b><br />
Load all of the tiles into the "Zinger" and put the top on it. Make sure it is within reach of everyone. Everyone needs to get a Zingo! card. Green cards are less competitive because there are fewer images in common. The red card is more competitive so you have to act fast to get the tile! Everyone does need to play with the same color of card.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can choose to have one "Dealer" who operates the Zinger machine, or players can take turns. Simply slide the Zinger forward and back to reveal two tiles. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When a player sees a tile that matches an image on her card, she calls out the image name, takes the tile, and covers the printed image on the card. The Dealer slides unclaimed tiles back into the Zinger through the reload slots at the top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If two or more players need the same tile, it goes to the player who calls for it first. In the case of a tie (i.e. fight!), the Dealer simply puts the tile back into the Zinger.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Win:</b><br />
Fill up your entire card first!<br /><br />You can also play by patterns or just filling up one line on your card. You can even play with multiple cards per person!<br />
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
Like I said, this was a favorite when my kids were probably... four years old. And we STILL play it with friends! It can become very competitive, so know your children's limits!<br />
