Piggy Piggy game review

 

Thank you to Hasbro and Tryazon for the free game we received in order for our honest opinion. 

When this game showed up I was pretty excited to play it, my teenagers took one look at the game "box" and were not impressed. However after reading the direction and watching a video (we still didn't really understand) we tried playing the game. From that point on the kids were hooked. They really thought it was a fun game and we have played it MANY times since we received it. My kids say it reminds them of another game with animals in the title but I wasn't familiar enough with that game. We had a lot of fun playing and can't wait to share it with the kids' younger cousins. 

The Super Fun Family Time Game review

 

It is always fun to get to try out a new game. This game comes from DSS Game and is an easy card game to play around the dinner table. One player spins to see if the topic will be funniest, worst or best and then everyone else has to give an answer to the question. The reader then decides who has the best answer and that person wins the card. We like to play this nightly around the dinner table just to have some non electronic fun discussions. 

I was given a free product by DSS Games and Tryazon in exchange for my review.

Tryazon "The Baffling Bowl!" Party


 We haven't had a board game to try for a long time, but when I heard that Tryazon had a party for a new game and the party needed to happen while we were on vacation- I signed us up. My kids groaned as they have gotten used to all my crazy games and sometimes they don't find them fun but after one night playing The Baffling Bowl! they were having a great time. We laughed so hard that we cried, we played boys against girls and the boys team won but three points so the game was very close.






Kids say this game is a lot like "fishbowl" and I know there is another card game that is also very similar but this game has it's own set of rules that makes it unique. Before the game starts everyone grabs a booklet and picks out two words to tear out and throw into the bowl (my kids were appalled- "is this a one time use game?" However there are 600 unique words and you can save the used words if you want to. There are three rounds- round one consists of getting people to guess the word without using two key words also on the paper. Round two people can use no words or their dominate hand and try to get people to guess the words- (same words are put back in the bowl.) The last round is  where it gets interesting- people get one chance to say the word BACKWARDS. It's a lot harder than it sounds and we had a lot of laughs this round. Over all I thought the game was pretty fun. It does seem weird that you use paper cards and that it could be a game that eventually runs out, and I didn't like that they didn't send a timer. In the instructions it says "use a cell phone" naw I am old school games that need a timer please send one! 

Thanks to Tryazon and Gouda games for giving us the chance to try this fun game for free in exchange for my review.
