A Couple of Game Reviews

Who doesn't love the "Pigeon" book series? Guess what? They have a game, too! It's a simple board game that even my three year old can play...and beat us at. We found ours at a Target clearance. Fun game and the whole family can play. You have to move around the board, but sometimes your spin moves the pigeon around the board. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus Game has given us a lot of laughs as Eric almost ONLY spins for the Pigeon. hahah! Neither of us has ever won a game, so apparently it feels the touch of a child's hand (seriously, it's kind of funny that we keep losing and we aren't ones to just let the kids win, either...losing and winning builds character).
Second game that I recommend? It's one we haven't purchased yet but had fun with last night with some friends. It's called Scrabble Slam. It's a quick card game version of Scrabble. It's great because it is limited to four letter words and you just play your cards until you empty you hand, changing the word one letter at a time! But, you have to be careful because as soon as you see a quick word change, someone else did too! Who is going to lay it down first? That's the fun! You can find this for around $5 if on a clearance sale, but can go up to about $15.
