The Kids Rocking the Boat

We received the new game from PlayMonster for free to play with and review. Opinions are our own. We also have an amazon affiliate link for you to use to buy your own.

If yo are looking for a quick game with a lot of laughs then PlayMonster’s Don’t Rock the Boat™ is that game. It is super simple to set up and play and you can play about a dozen times in 5 minutes. The game goes especially quick with kids because they just drop the figures onto the boat and ultimately rock it and spill all the pieces off the boat.

The rules are super simple, too:

  1. Youngest player goes first
  2. Player picks a piece and puts it onto the ship
  3. Players keep repeating this until someone knocks a piece off the ship
  4. The last player to successfully place a piece on the ship without knocking anything off wins
Here was our gameplay and video review. The kids liked making up silly names for the cute penguin pieces.

An Amazing Family Game Day With The Mazins

The MAzins
Photo-A-Day #4593

We received the game THE MAZINS free from Toysmith to play with and review. Opinions are our own.

Allison and the kids had a half day today. Because of this Andrew declared that today would be a day for family games. He loves playing all sorts of games. One of the games that we tried out was a new one to us called THE MAZINS. This is a cute and pretty simple game. We played several rounds and Andrew was excellent at the game. He could quickly figure out which character got to the correct attraction.

The official description of the game is below.

THE MAZINS
The Mazin family is on an exciting trip to the city to see and do marvelous things. Help family members find attractions around town to win trophies- a quick roll of the die determines where they’ll go next! Help kids develop focus along with hand/eye coordination and speed. The multiple play levels fit to adjust to different age groups perfect for the whole family. Suitable for ages 3-99, 1-5 players, and each round takes 10-20 minutes.

Set includes maze tiles, destination tokens, point tokens, and large wooden dice.

MSRP: $19.99 | Ages 3 to 99-Years-Old

We enjoyed this game very much. It was one that the whole family could enjoy and we could make it more challenging. To make it more challenging you add additional tiles to the maze, each new tile ultimately changes which attraction the each family member visits. So, you can’t simply memorize where each family member goes, you have to think quickly and figure out the mazes to win at THE MAZINS.
