Game Review: Twister

Simon says meets breakdancing; or at least that’s what the picture on the box makes it out to be. Twister is the classic game that requires you to hold a position resembling a plank mixed with a pretzel for minutes if not hours. But who am I kidding. When you were a kid, who cared…

Game Review: Jungle Speed

This game is a classic in Cassidy’s family. It’s a game where no one’s hand is safe. For reals though, Cassidy’s mom has acrylic nails, so this game gets dangerous when she joins in on the fun. She’s been known to take chunks of skin out of unsuspecting opponents. (Okay, I’m being a bit over…

Game Review: Giant Jumbling Tower

With just one box, it’s a bit short and doesn’t really meet the description of “giant” in our opinion. When you combine two, mid-game it can get closer to 6.5 feet tall! Either way, really fun for all ages, easy to transport, great for a backyard wedding game, bbq game, or a fun family night. We would highly suggest!
