While Shayna was away on an 8 day cruise during Chanukah this year with one of her best friends and their family, she missed Chanukah ! So, on December 31st, we celebrated all eight nights of Chanukah on one night. We lit the menorah, made latkes, opened gifts ... the works !
This years gifts were NEW games for her ! This also translates into NEW games for Donnie and I ! The list of new games include (you will notice the entire educational theme here) 10 Days in Africa, 10 Days in Europe, Wordigo, Quiddler, Chronology, Go, The Inventions Game, In a Pickle, Landlock and the Settlers of Cattan. On our "One Night of Chanukah" (December 31st) we broke open several and played them !
I think my personal favorite Chronology. Here you are read a "fact about a specific time" and have to line it up in your timeline. If you are correct you get the card. The object is to collect 10 events correctly in your own timeline. The categories are Arts/Entertainment, Sports, Inventions and History.
Shayna's personal favorite games (so far) are 10 Days in Africa and Europe ! (doesn't matter which one !) Here you have to set up 10 places to travel that connect their by border or travel by car/ship or airplane following certain patterns.
Donnie's favorite game (so far) is Quiddler. This is because he is the scrabble person in the house. He can think of all those SAT words that you told everyone you would never use again !
He kills us when we play this one.
We still haven't gotten to all the new games - but games happen ** almost ** every night after dinner ! We love family games !
