Timeline game review – Asmodee board game bloggers
As part of our role with the Asmodee board game club, we were sent 3 more games to try out and review. The first is Timeline, which is a card game I’ve not heard of before. We’ve had a lot…

Cobra paw game review
Sometimes games just suit you as a family. And sometimes they’re not quite right straight away and you need a bit more time to play and see if a game grows on you. Cobra Paw is one of the latter…
Fun with Staccups and 5 second rule games review
If the new Staccups game doesn’t win numerous toy or game awards I’ll eat my hat (or I would if I wore one). When I was introduced to some of the new games from University Games at Blog on Xmas,…
Pass the pigs game review – travel set and giant game
Games. Love them or hate them, you can’t deny that they can be great for family life. A chance to have some fun, relax (or maybe not if everyone gets competitive), and a way to get all ages involved. For…

I’m not really a fidgeter but I do get easily distracted. And I get bored a lot at work if I’m doing the same thing over and over again. So being sent the MOKURU fidget toy, a desk based fidget…

Learning by quiz with Brain Factor
I’m all for getting N to do learn, although he’s not that keen on sitting down for a length of time and focused learning. Â Anything that’s in bitesize fun pieces works much better, especially if they grow with him. We…
Learning and exploring with Lego
Who doesn’t love Lego? It’s usually a part of everyone’s childhood, and N’s just progressing from Duplo to proper Lego. Unlike when we were children, there’s now massive ranges of Lego, and more options for different age ranges.  I’m all…
