Prepare To Laugh With Telestrations!

My family has always been big on playing games. Every year for Christmas we get a new one and just love playing it with our friends and extended family. Well we have a new one that has already been a hit and will keep on being a hit!!

I was thrilled when I got the chance through Tryazon to play this amazing game with some friends!! It is a hoot!!

The game is really easy, once you can get every one settled down enough to play and explain it. I think half our fun came from explaining the game to each other. It's kind of like that old game called Telephone. You start with a word or phrase and say it to your neighbor, and they say to the next, and then the next, and so on. You finally end up with some crazy thing by the time it gets back to the original person. 

Here's what you get in the game...

With Telestrations you start out with a word or phase, any number of things they give you on one of the cards in the deck they provide. You write the word down in a very handy little booklet made up of wipe-off pages. This is where the twist comes in. After you write the word or phrase you or the next player draws the word or phrase. The next person looks at the drawing (not the word) and guesses what it is and writes the word or phrase. The next draws, the next guesses, and so on. Well with the pictures added to the whole thing you never know what you are going to come up with! Let's just say that they should offer the game with a case of Depends because the laughter never seems to stops!!

Here is an example, although no where near as funny as anything we came up with!!

The game is super funny and you really don't know what is going to happen. It all depends on what each person thinks they are looking at in the drawings. Some of us can draw well, some not so much, and that is where the fun really gets going.

All set to play!!

Jessica was concentrating hard on this one!

Tim's face shows how much we were laughing! He turned a lovely shade of red!

The inevitable tighty whities! No embarrassment there!

Veronica loved the game a lot!

Happy game night for all of us! Jonathan Loved it!

So, what do my friends and I think about the game? Well since the party we have played it again and everyone keeps asking me when we can play it some more. If you see the game out there buy it now, they sell out fast. I have a feeling it will be a big hit with your family!  This is by far one of the BEST games in a long, long time!! Thanks USAopoly for this crazy, wild, and fun game! 

It's a BIG hit!!

Mölkky ~ Fun, Competitive, Addictive, and A Great Family Game

Our family loves to play games and a new one we just got is called Mölkky. Have you heard of it? Let me tell you, it is a fun game and highly addictive!

Mölkky is an updated version of an old Scandinavian "throwing game" called Kyykkä that has been around for hundreds of years. Without age or fitness restrictions, and suitable to most outdoor spaces, Mölkky is an easy, go-to game on any day. All over the world, Mölkky is enjoyed for its casual, easy game play, as well as in serious, top tournaments and championship competitions. Some of the most decorated and celebrated Mölkky competitions have been held since 1997 in Finland. An annual Australian Mölkky Championship has been held since 2010 and several Mölkky association have been founded, including Finnish International Mölkky Association, Slovak Mölkky Association, French Mölkky Association, Japan Mölkky Association, Czech Molkky Association, and Sweden Molkky Association. The history of Mölkky is available on Wikipedia.

Mölkky is a game for outdoors. When you get your Mölkky game it will have a wooden crate that contains all the parts. Inside will be 12 numbered wooden pins and a wooden skittle you use to knock the pins over. They are also I really like the wooden crate for storing and carrying the game in. Makes it all really handy!

It's easy to play, just arrange the pins, numbered 1 through 12, in a formation and throw the Mölkky skittle pin to try to knock down some pins. To win the game, players try to knock down a total of 50 points worth of pins. More competitive rounds can be played by trying to score exactly 50 points. If players go over 50, then they go back to 25 points and try again to reach 50 exactly. The first player or team to 50 exactly wins.

Take a look at this video to learn a little more!

This game is so much fun and can get a little wild. It can also get highly competitive and exciting. Trying to get just the right pin for the number of points you need can be tense! But the really neat thing is that the game can be played by young and old. The skittle is not very heavy and it is easy to learn how to toss it, so even young kids can get in on the game.

If you are looking for a fun new game for you whole family, this would be it. It can travel to family functions, can be packed away in the camper, and get pulled out wherever you have a group ready and wiling to play! Believe me, they will all enjoy this one!
