Match-O-Rama Game Review

What a fun game! We have tried many games from The OP and have found some favorites that way. This game is a fun matching game with a little bit of a gambling (not for real money just for points) an example of a card is something you buy in bulk, something you order for breakfast, a tv game show and you try to match with someone else that is playing you have to guess how far apart your match person is. It sounds more complicated than it really is. We have played Blank Slate in the past (from the same company) and I think I prefer that game but we have enjoyed the game and know we will play it for years to come. 
Thank you Match-O-Rama and Tryazon for our free sample of this game.

Astro-Trash board game #Review

Board games are one of my very favorite things- so are time lapse videos. Astro trash is a game from USAopoly and the point of the game is to try to make your planet clean but cleaning trash off your planet, putting it onto the sun, or giving your trash to your neighboring planet so they can deal with it. Now, while this doesn't sound very environmentally friendly OR ethical it makes for a very fun board game! Each person starts with ten pieces of trash and then the fun begins. There are three dice one that has a number 1,2 or 3 on it, one that has a color on it that matches the trash colors, and one that has a L for left an R for right, a picture of the sun for placing it in the middle, and a ? which means the piece of trash can be given to any one that the player chooses. Th first person to clean their planet is the winner of that round and the game is played until one player has earned 3 first place finishes. This game says ages 6+ and I would tend to agree with that. My youngest is 6 and we had to start every game reminding him which hand is his left and which is his right. This is a GREAT game for learning that! The game can be played with 2-5 players and take about 15-30 minutes to finish a full game but can easily be made into a game where after one round the game is over. The pieces are super fun shapes and sizes. All four of my kids ages 6, 9, 10, and 13 thought it was fun and I enjoyed playing it with them. 


Thank you Tryazon and USAopoly for giving us this game to try out with our family and friends.

Sambucol Back to School

Back to school is here and along with that is the start of the spread of germs. Sambucol is an immunity support that comes in many different forms. The products are made with the black elderberry and was developed in 1991. The sample products they sent were of the gummies. But I was also excited to have the throat lozenges and the cold and flu medicine. Is it funny that I am excited to get the flu to see if the meds work? Just kidding I don't really want to get sick but I am excited to see how this medicine works. I like how it is all natural so I feel it is safe for me to share with everyone in my family. Thank you to Tryazon and Sambucol for allowing me to try this with my friends and family. It is always fun to get to try something to make us all healthy this school season!
