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!

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.
