Six months ago, I ordered a couple of games from Amazon and had them sent to my mother so she could include them in her lift. My ds5 came home from a visit to her home today with one of them (they still have boxes that are getting unpacked).
I had never played this game and bought it based on the description. When they saw it, a few of the kids said they had played it at friends and really enjoyed it. It?s a card game called Blink, and I got it because I wanted something that kids of different ages could play together, that was easy to learn, fun, and didn?t take too long. (I don?t have the patience for long detailed instructions to learn new games ? my kids know, either explain it to me fast if you want me to play with you, or I won?t play ? too many other things demand my attention.)
This was so great ? it takes about thirty seconds to learn to play, and each game lasts maybe a minute or two. My kind of game! I played with ds6, then ds5, then with both of them, then with dd12, then ds10 ? and we all had fun! The basic idea is that you put down cards that have a feature that matches the card on the table ? color, number, or shape ? it kind of reminds me of SET (another fantastic family card game) but it moves super fast. So I consider it educational in addition to being fun!
I bought this with the intention for it to be a family Chanukah present, but since my mother didn?t know that was my plan, she gave it to ds5 to give to me, and ds6 opened it before it got to me. But we?re all enjoying having it now!
