That's Not a Hat!

Ravensburger - do you know that name? If not, let me introduce you!

*Disclaimer - I was sent these products for free in exchange for hosting a party and posting my reviews. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are my own or those of my guests.*

Ravensburger is a name you might see on some games, toys and puzzles. They are a family-owned company that has been making games since 1883!

They sent me two games to showcase. One is called That's Not a Hat. This is the one I focused on. The other was Strike, which I gave away as a door prize. Both can be found on the Ravensburger website. Don't worry, I'll have links below! 

That's Not a Hat

That's Not a Hat was truly fun, even through it's challenging play. We had to read through the instructions a couple times, but overall we loved the laughter! It is about having the ability to remember all your "gifts" or be able to bluff when you forget. For us older ones... we forgot, but we dusted off those bluffing skills like champs! 

I highly suggest watching this how-to-play video before you try playing. Makes it a lot easier! 

The official information on the game is:
That's Not a Hat - Wrap and regift objects in this deceptively simple card game of having the world’s best memory... or convincing everyone you do! Was that gift a hat, a bucket, or a traffic cone?! Play this “unforgettable” bluffing game with friends and family for fun, laughter, and a dash of madcap mayhem. As cards or gifts are flipped face down and passed around the table, players must memorize the object on each card or bluff their confidence as they pass the unwanted gift to someone else. Avoid getting caught declaring the wrong object or gain penalty points. The player with the least points at the end wins!

Recommended Age: 8+ 

Great for parties!

Number of Players: 3 - 8

15 minutes playtime

Includes: A rule book and 110 cards with simple illustrations for maximum
memorization chaos.

I've done a few of their puzzles over the years. But want to know a game I loved that they put out? My mom sent me this one before... Under their ThinkFun products, you can find the Cold Case Files. I have done A Pinch of Murder with my husband. It was so much fun!

Where can you find these games for yourself?

So glad you asked! As I mentioned above, you can go directly to the Ravensburger website. But there are other options of places you can look for the games at.

That's Not a Hat: 

Ravensburger has it for $10.99.

Barnes & Noble had it too for the same price. 

Amazon was the same price.

Strike: 

Ravensburger has it for $24.99. 

Walmart has them for the same price. 

Amazon was the same price. 

What do you think? Was this a great game option? I'll be looking forward to hearing from you in the comments below!

Let's Have a Colorful Ritter Sport Chocolate Party!

I LOVE getting to host parties with Tryazon! Especially when there is chocolate involved. This time, Ritter Sport Chocolates were sponsored. Mmmmm!

*Disclaimer - I was sent this party pack in exchange for hosting a party and then sharing my reviews. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are my own or of my guests.*

Ritter Sport Chocolates are a German-made, family-owned brand that has been making delicious chocolates since 1912. It is amazing! So light and creamy. I received so many flavors to try as well as share. So let me tell you about each one. 

Milk Chocolate with Cornflakes

This one has a creamy milk chocolate with cornflakes in the middle. My husbands first comment on it was that it was like a Crunch bar, but way creamier! I concur. Your first thought might be like mine, Seriously?? But let me tell you, it was good! I think it was easily my favorite.

Dark Chocolate with Marzipan Filling

The marzipans' sweetness offset the dark chocolate extremely well! I really enjoyed it. One guest was not a fan. They thought it had an aftertaste. I didn't catch any. 

Alpine Milk Chocolate

This would be the one you might compare to something like a Hershey's bar. My husband and I both thought it was less processed in taste. A great creamy chocolate. I only wished we had tried it on s'mores!

Milk Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts

This one was really interesting. Some guests thought it would be better with a different nut - like cashews, while some were fine with it. I suppose it just depends on whether you like hazelnuts or not. The chocolate was still just as creamy. 

Milk Chocolate Whole Almonds vs Dark Chocolate Whole Almonds

I am not entirely alone in loving the dark chocolate, but from this test we discovered that the majority prefers the milk chocolate. And most of them said it would be better without the almonds. Not a favored nut from this group. 

Milk Chocolate with Butter Biscuit and Cocoa Creme

This one was a favorite of everyone that tried it. I actually had requests for more, only there weren't any left!  

Milk Chocolate with Honey Sea-Salt Almonds

Despite there being almonds (not a favored nut for those trying), this one was liked. It had a sweeter taste and the nuts weren't too.... hmm, dry? Not sure how to describe this one any better than that.

Overall, I think everyone walked away with a new love for Ritter Sport chocolates. I'm even looking at the local stores now to see who carries which kinds. 

So what kind would you want to try?? Have you already tried them? Let me know in the comments below. And I'll be looking forward to hearing from you guys! Until next time.

4-In-1 Virtual Reality Game Pack From Abacus Brands

Through Tryazon, I was sent this amazing game box! I can't wait to show you how much fun you can have. First things first...

*Disclaimer: I was sent this product for free in exchange for hosting a party and writing a review. All opinions are my own or my guests'. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed.*

Okay now, let's take a look at this box and all that it includes. This is put out by Abacus Brands. It comes with 4 games in the one box. 4 ways to have fun! I think this makes it a great party pack. Not just for the fun, but for the learning. So I reached out to homeschool friends to see who could come hang out and try out this product with us. 

You have to download the app. Thanks to a QR code in the instruction manual, that was quick and easy. Next, you have an activation code on the front of the manual. You choose which game from the set you want to use first and enter your code. Once it has loaded the code, it downloads the game into your library. Then, you can repeat with the others. You only have to enter the code once, though. It will recognize that you have all of them and only ask if you agree to download more. Say yes, and keep adding to your library!  

Umm, I don't think it was supposed to do that....

I had to remove my phone from its protective case first. It was just too bulky to fit into the VR Goggles piece. However, when I went to insert the naked phone, I found that the foam started to peel off and even stuck to my phone!! I was not happy with that... Took me a while to scrape the glue off my phone. Now, to be fair, maybe it was because I had tried to put it in with the case originally. So be warned, and be careful.

Breaking it up into 4

Each subject, or game, comes with its own poster. These are full of information and on glossy paper. The posters are how you will interact with the Virtual Reality part of the games. In combination with the app, of course. In the app, you will hit that triangle for the Play option while looking into the center of the poster that corresponds. This will show you a spinning blue circle (think loading symbol) and then you will be transported into the interactive part.

Dinosaurs:

First up is the one my youngest was most excited for - the Dino-Dig. She absolutely loves dinosaurs.
And had been begging me to open it up since the party pack first arrived. I highly suggest that you lay down something like a junk towel or take it outside.
Also - be prepared for some dusty kids afterwards. I found that using water while we worked made the plaster come off easier.
Solar System:

Next up is the Solar System. I was disappointed that Pluto was not included in our solar system. Call me old schooled, but Pluto is still a planet in my book.

Putting together the solar system diagram or planetarium was a little difficult because the instructions included were... lacking. Thankfully, my son was able to eyeball the picture and pieces included to make it work. The kids needed extra paintbrushes so that they all could paint at the same time. Thankfully, we keep a bunch on hand for craft projects. But if you have multiple kids, just be warned.
I suppose it would have been better with the VR giving us instructions, but I was using my phone to take the video and photos at the time. 

Crystals:

Then we move on to learn about Crystals in the Lab. Growing the crystals takes 3-5 days. But in the video I'll load, you can at least see the process that we took to get them started. Within about 2-3 days, this is where the crystals were in their growth.

Green looks like a dud for us. I appreciate that the cups had lids you can set down in the top to keep the dust out.

Volcanoes:

And finally, we check out the Volcano Lab! Did you ever build one of those erupting volcanoes? Maybe with clay? Painted to look real? Building a volcano was one of the best experiments I can remember doing as a kid. And my kids get to do it now too. Actually, this isn't the first one we have done. The VR part had so much for them to see. And it describes all the aspects of volcanoes.

Right out the gate, we came to find we were missing some kind of "tube" that is needed to 'cap' the top and leave the place where the baking soda and citric acid goes to make the 'eruption' magic happen. We tried to improvise with a small plastic cup piece.

I wasn't too thrilled with that option or optimistic in it working. It wasn't deep enough. The bowl that comes with the kit is definitely not big enough to mix the plaster either. So I suggest using a bowl or pot that you don't use for food, for the mixing step.
Mixing with the stir stick they included was a little time consuming, but we managed pretty well I think. Move quickly though. this stuff starts to harden fast. You can see how we did it in the video. I'd suggest packing in the sides a little as you pour the plaster in. Although, I think ours looks really neat and more realistic with all the ridges along the sides.
Then came the painting time. It can be interesting with multiple kids. I had them take turns adding in colors and details. 

Here is the video we made of the various hands-on kits we did.

 

Pros to using these

First off, there is a lot of good information. You might have to correct some of the things spoken of or read from the posters, depending on your worldview. The interactive portions on the VR is really in depth! The kids had fun and found it very easy to use. I'm also glad that the kits came with hands-on parts. Things you can build or dig into. I find that kids are more likely to remember things if they interact.

Not conducive to those with glasses

Well, it was a bit of a let down for some of us who require glasses to see. Thankfully, with it being so close, it wasn't so blurry for me. And even my son (who is the most blind of us) said he only had to squint sometimes. You could attempt to wear your glasses with the headset, but it caused a tight pain on the nose. Kinda like wearing tight goggles. 

Where can you find them? 

I know our local Walmart had some of them on hand. In single sets. 

Amazon has the 4-in-1 kit for about $60. 

Or you can go straight to the makers! Abacusbrands.com has so many others to choose from. The Human Body and The World Atlas sure caught my eye.

Cons to the information taught...

As a Christian, I don't agree with the evolutionary teachings in the Dinosaur and Solar System programs. So if you are like me, be warned. You may need to remind your kids that the world is not millions of years old. That the universe we live in did not suddenly spring from nothing. That evolution is not how things came to be what they currently are. That dinosaurs died off because of an astronomical disaster. And my favorite? That we are still reaching out to aliens. We sent out a record with instructions on how to use it. This was hilarious to me. Why? Because I don't believe in intelligent life outside of our planet. And even IF I did, what makes us feel so pompous that we can assume they speak and read English?? 

Anyhow... These are theories (NOT PROVEN FACT) thought up by mankind, for mankind, to try to remove God from the equation. These kits are saturated with such views.

4 Uses For an Air Mattress You Might Not Have Considered

I was recently chosen to host a Bestway Air Bed party through Tryazon. I have tried other things from Bestway, like a pool. But an air mattress is a new one for me. Now, when I say air bed, what is the first thing that comes to mind for you? 

Is it camping? That usually is for me. But then... that is extremely limiting to their usefulness. Let's dive into some other uses for an air mattress and then I'll show you some of the fun we had with our new one

*Disclaimer: I was sent this product in exchange for reviewing and hosting a party. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions shared are strictly that of my guests or myself.*

Use Numero Uno!

1. As stated above, camping is usually the first thing someone thinks of when asked about an air bed. So maybe this one has been considered by you. They make the experience more comfortable. They are portable. And with the one I got from Bestway, easy to set up! This one does require power, but with so many camp sites having power access, I don't see that a problem. AND! It inflates within 3 minutes. But camping isn't something I'm particularly fond of. In my adult life, I have gone camping twice. And both times we ended up having to go home by 6AM. Weather played a part the first time. The second time, we were all so miserable, cold and for one of us - wet, that we gave up trying to make it work. So, let's shelve camping for now and check out the next reason having an air mattress on hand is a great idea. 

What is Number Two?

2. Sleepovers are not just for kids. Do you ever have a guest who needs a place to sleep? We don't have a guest room, so that usually means that person is on the couch or on an air bed in the living room. But you don't want them to be uncomfortable. So looking for one that adds to their comfort, is important. This model that I was sent comes with a raised bump to act as a built-in pillow. So you won't need to worry about having extra pillows on hand. 

Third Option is a Winner.

3. This third option was the one we chose to go with. Have you ever considered using an air bed for movie night?? Inflate a couple, and then relax! We did this for a Mario movie night. The kids loved it! It added plenty of space for everyone to recline. This can work inside or out, as well. Set up a projector and chill under the stars in style. 

For our movie party, we made Mario Oreo cupcakes. I also made homemade pizzas and bread sticks.

My daughters even decorated the living room with Mario characters. It was a lot of fun! 
                         Did you ever think to use it....

For a prepping item? After all, stuff hits the fan and you have to bug out, what will you sleep on? Don't think I haven't thought about a simple sleeping bag. I have. But! I'm a wimp. I want a little comfort. Something that lifts me off the floor. So I think one of these babies needs to be a part of prepper life.

Additional Features You Should Know about....

I told you this one need access to an electrical outlet. The cord can be tucked into a compartment on it. It has a built-in pump that can inflate the entire mattress in just under 3 minutes. How do I know this? I recorded it! Check out this video to see what I mean. 

There is the pillow bump. No need to have extra pillows on hand. Less to pack for outings as well. 

How about a nifty bag to store and carry it in? This is how we store it. In the bag on a shelf with our previous air mattress. 

If you purchase one of these for yourself from the Bestway website, they currently only have the 18" which are $72.99 each. But Walmart has the 12" version we had here for $29.94. 

Can you think of another use? Leave me a comment below! I'd love to know.

Introducing P.Lushes Pets Gem Star Collection!

What girl doesn't love a plush, or two... or several? But what if they could match our outfits? What if there were new ones to create a collection of? What if they came in the various birthstones variety? Would that be something that interested you? If you said yes, then I want you to follow along as I share our fun party that we hosted through Tryazon, showcasing P.Lushes Pets! 

*Disclaimer: I was sent this party pack through my affiliation with Tryazon, in exchange for hosting a party. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are my own or that of my guests.*

P.Lushes are so adorable! The first time I had heard of them was when I applied to host a party with Tryazon. Cute little bundles that can match your outfit with chic designs. Some are even special editions to imitate a specific designers style. They are the only fashion-inspired plush collectibles.

They are put out by Spin Master. That name should be pretty familiar to you if you have been reading my reviews for a while now. They make all kinds of toys and games that my family has loved. 

For this party, we were sent the latest in the craze - Gem Stars. These celebrate birthday months. As soon as my daughters heard we were chosen, they wanted to plan out the details. My oldest decided a banner needed to be made. 

The guest list included new friends we made!  

Once I knew we were chosen, I set about planning. I found these great VIP ticket printables for the invitations. We invited other homeschool friends from our church. 

Originally, I had thought a night party with a movie would work best. But with my husbands schedule change, I decided on a day time get-together. Light snacks, and a photo booth, would be all I planned for the party. Why so little? I have learned that when you get kids together, they are less interested in scheduled activities and more desirous of free play! So that is what I gave them.  

I made cupcakes for our party that had unicorn and panda chocolates on top. The kids LOVED them!  

What are the thoughts my guests had?

Eleni Key, the lion, was a very popular favorite. The fact that there were so many different animals included in these plush characters was something the parents thought was great. It isn't your standard kitties, dogs, and bears! They really appreciated that things get shaken up with more variety. 

They were confused, as I had been, by the change in the birthstones. Any of us older than 25, remember June being pearl. And December being aquamarine. Little changes in which stone represents which month had us older parents wondering why. But we decided to just think they were cute despite the months they represented.

Where can you find yours? 

Amazon has them. 

 So does Gund

   And let us not forget to include Claire's

Prices vary as does the selections still available. One parent at the party was delighted to find Ella Lphante, the adorable elephant. So check around between them to find the ones you want at the prices you are looking for.  

Better yet, here is a discount code for you! Use code: PLUSHES for a 25% discount for P.Lushes only on Gund.com valid from 4/10-5/10/2023. 

 What collections are there so far? 

If you like collecting adorable things, there are multiple sets out so far. You have seen the Gem Stars. These are for birth months. Rosie Ross was my favorite! But there are also the Jet Setters.  Lin LeBleu is so chic. Before that, we have the Secret Garden collection. The Anna Dolce Puppy was the one I had wanted from that set. There are also the Runway Series.

These are my girls' and I favorite ones! Which ones were your favorite? And what do you think of the collection as a whole? I'd love to hear from you, so leave me a comment below!

Game On! With OP Games!

My family has quite the collection of board games. We try to play together as often as we can. We were sent two more to add to our collection! Both were sent to us by OP Games. Don't recognize the name? Have you heard of a game with 'opoly' at the end? Then you know the company who sent these to us! 

*Disclaimer: I was sent these products in exchange for hosting a party as well as sharing reviews afterwards. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are mine and my guests only.*

Through Tryazon, I was sent 2 board games. Telestrations and Blank Slate. We have played a version of Telestrations before. But this was a different version. Here is where we have fun and get to know the games. 

Telestrations

Telestrations was hilarious. It really does include everyone no matter their level on drawing skill. As a matter of fact, we didn't bother keeping score. We just enjoyed seeing where the original word led us each round. The original word is written in the secret word space. You pass the book to the next person. They read the word, draw it, and then when time is up we pass again. Next person guesses and passes. And the rounds continue until we are on the final guess on the last page. Everyone gets their original book back and the big reveal is likely to have some hard laughter belted out around the table.


Where can you find this and other variations? Walmart has several kinds. As does Amazon. And then if you shop at Target, there are some there too. I was surprised, but Barnes & Noble also sells this one.

Blank Slate

Now we move on to the second game we tried out. Blank Slate! We didn't have enough time to play this one, so I decided to pass it on as a door prize. However, I do have this video to explain how to play the game.

Where can you find this one? 

Walmart has it. So does Amazon. And so does Target

We love having games like this. It brings us together in a fun way. And with the weather getting colder, it will be great to pass the time indoors together surrounding a board game! 

What do you think? Does your family still take time to play together? Let me know in the comments below!

Play Monster Party Fun! Discount Included

Our family loves to play games. Cards, video and board games. If can be played together, we are all in! One of my favorite game companies, Play Monster, sent us a couple new ones for our collection. Check out the fun we had and get your discount below!

*Disclaimer: I was sent these games in exchange for hosting a party and writing a review. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are strictly my own.*

I was sent two games to test out with family and friends. Farkle and Five Crowns. I had never played either one, but was told at least one, if not both, were a lot of fun. 

Farkle

Farkle was the first one my kids wanted to try with me. It is a game of chance with the dice. Super simple to play, but does have us questioning our decision making on risk-taking skills! 

You can get the Farkle game from PlayMonster for $9.99.

Five Crowns

Then we have Five Crowns. I have to say, this one took us for a loop and the kids said it was more difficult at first. The rules are bit more complicated. However, I think it has potential to be lots of fun once you get into the rhythm with it. 

I did like that the points list are posted on the rule manual and the box. The more you have it to check with, the easier it can be to determine if you have a winning hand. I was also thankful that they included the QR code that linked to an instruction video. It was still complicated, however. So watch it a couple times and listen carefully. I'm pretty sure we were not playing it right the first time.

Five Crowns is $12.99 on the PlayMonster website. 

I'm always down for trying a new game with my family. These two were more of a challenge, but that can be a good thing! I will say that I look forward to seeing what others think of this game as we play with other family and friends. Each perspective can be fun while it adds to the experience. Which game would you most like to try? Leave me a comment below! 

Want to get your own? 

How about with a discount? They have graciously allowed me to share this discount code with you, my readers. Use the code TRYAZON25 at checkout to receive 25% off your entire order! But don't wait too long. This code will expire on June 30, 2022.

Sliding Into Summer Fun With a Bestway Slide'n'Glide!

I have always loved the fun things you can do during summer that you can't do any time else during the year. Especially water fun! 

*Disclaimer: I was sent this product free of charge in exchange for hosting a party and sharing my honest review. All opinions are strictly my own. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed.*

I was given the opportunity to test out Bestway's Slide'n'Glide water slide! Do you remember having a slip'n'slide? My parents laid out the tarp. I still laugh when I think back to sliding across it and hoping I wouldn't hit a root or rock (which I sometimes did). Or how about adding a little dish soap to make it even slicker? 

Well, they have gotten fancier since those days. Bestway has created quite the fun one. Simply hooking up the hose and letting the kids have fun is all it takes. 

Sadly, I wasn't able to have the party yet. There have been flu and weather issues every time we try to plan it out. But soon, we will be gathering up the kids and getting together. I promise there will be a lot more information and photos once we do that! 

What is the best thing you like about this? What might prevent you from wanting one of your own?

2 Games From Skillmatics That Our Family Loves *Discount Included*

My husband is sick and has a project deadline to complete. So we are spending more time at home, which leads to crazier kids. My husband says we have a case of cabin fever lately. This means that puzzles and board games are seeing more play time than usual. Perfect timing since I was sent a great couple of games to try out with my younger one. She doesn't often get new games that are geared towards her own age. Even better was that her 9 year old sister had no problem playing them with her! Let's check them out together. 

*Disclaimer: I was sent these two games for free in exchange for holding a party and sharing my review. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are strictly my own.*

 Learning made fun

Skillmatics is all about games that provide fun learning! They are a leading global education brand that is led by a team of educators as well as game and product designers who are dedicated to creating innovative and holistic ways for children to learn through play. They are deeply committed to their mission of developing educational products that bring joy to children and help them reach their full potential.

For this review opportunity, I was sent Guess in 10 as well as Found It! the Indoor version. You can get these and other products of theirs from Amazon HERE.


Found It! is great for days when you are stuck inside as we have been. My husband has been sick with the flu, so we haven't been going to the park, playing tennis or swimming. Before that, and will be after that, he has a class project due that he has to finish. Which also translates to being stuck at home. I've made scavenger hunts before. But they were simply to find items. This version, which is geared towards learning for younger minds, includes more than just finding something. It asks critical thinking questions. I love having it be more in depth. My boys are 11 and 13, both of them wanted to play with their sisters on this one.

The Guess in 10  was the first one we tried out. I played with my 5 year old first. Then my 9 year old wanted to join in with us. We were laughing as we tried to guess each others animal cards. 

I explained both games on my YouTube video. They are pretty easy to follow the directions on. 

Save money on your own games!

Skillmatics has been gracious enough to offer my readers a 15% off discount on their Learning Kits. You can get those HERE. You use the code Try15 at checkout. Don't wait too long though. This discount is only good until January 20, 2022.

Skillmatics Contest!

In addition to allowing me to host this party, they are hosting a contest. One that means winning for both the hosts and their guests. Here is how it works. Two hosts have the chance to win gift cards to Amazon. I need over 100 readers to follow Skillmatics on Instagram! Also, I need them to comment on my Instagram post HERE what game they would want to get from Skillmatics. Now for how my readers can win. By helping me in becoming one of the winning hosts, you are in turn entered to win a bundle of 3 Skillmatics games or a Skillmatics Learning Kit. If you like the sound of that, don't forget to follow my link to Instagram! 

What do you think of these games? Would you want to play or do you know someone who would? Let me know in the comments below. I love hearing from you all!

Taking Game Night to the Zombies! (Discount included!)

Our family loves to play board games! We have quite the growing collection. But I always jump at the chance to try out new ones with my kids. PlayMonster teamed up with Tryazon to showcase a game just in time for Christmas shoppers! 

*Disclaimer: I was sent these two games in exchange for hosting a party and writing my honest review. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are strictly my own.*

I wasn't very familiar with PlayMonster. I knew only about the Spirograph toys as that is something I've enjoyed since childhood. However, since being a part of this party, I have learned about other products they offer. I highly recommend checking their website out and seeing what they have available! For now, I'm going to show you the two games they sent me and tell you what our family has thought of them. At the end, I'll also share a discount! So hang with me!

Zombie Chase - This is the main game they wanted to show off. And it was indeed the most fun we have had in a while. Even the little one enjoyed playing with us! We tested it out a couple times before sharing the fun with others. It was pretty simple to set up. Once you start the rounds, you will see how easy it is to play. The premise of the game is that you and your friends went to a theme park. You find yourselves locked in, in the dark, and running from the parks zombified maintenance guy! You have to get a flashlight, get to the maintenance shed, grab a gate key, and then get to a gate to get out. But you won't be taking a leisurely stroll through the park.

You will be running from the zombie. Every time you roll to move your character, you also roll to move the zombie. You better hope that your friends aren't caught! Otherwise you will be running from them as well. 

This game is for ages 7 and up. My 4 year old has played with us, however, and LOVED it! She just needed a little help remembering to take the right steps. My kids shared it with others at a church event recently. It was fun watching them play. It is about a 30 minute play depending on how many players you have. You can have up to 6 players. 

If you purchase it from their company website, it is $19.99. Don't forget to look below for the discount though! You can only use that discount on their website. However, should you not want to order it directly from them and save money in the process, you can also get it on Amazon or Walmart.

Next up!

Reign - This one is a little more advanced. At first, I wasn't sure I could keep up with the rules. However, once you get into it, you find the game play is pretty simple. You have a board that is split into various "land masses" that go together almost like a puzzle.
Each player, you can only have up to 4, sets out their army faction. It is the Final Battle Royale. As you move with each turn, you have a couple things you want to do. You want to collect the Power Stones.
These help in battle and with extra moving. You also want to get your characters to safety. You see, as you each take a turn, you slowly get closer to land masses being torn apart by natural disasters.
The board shrinks! Until all that is left is the center plot, where the final character standing is the victor. As you land next to each other, you can fight them. The one with the highest score wins the fight. The other person is eliminated. Our family really dug into it. We can be pretty competitive when it comes to gaming. I liked the factions. You have Samurai, Barbarian, Droids, and Super Soldiers. Oh and each group has various degrees of level. 1, 2, or 3. This diversifies the battle!
You'll understand better when you play. Until then, they show a little of what it is like in this video.
