Two Fun Games

It NEVER rains in Eugene during the summer. I mean, it ALWAYS rains in Eugene during the year — but NEVER in the summer. I can’t remember the last time it rained in June / July / August — except this past weekend, on Saturday, we had thunder and lightening and a downpour of rain. We could have easily just stayed inside and watched Emily in Paris, but instead, we ventured to a good childhood’s friend’s house to play games with the kids. What sounded like a boring day, ended up being SO fun. We played two new games — both huge hits and fun for the kids and adults, alike.

 

Scatter

 

This is a Swedish game that is a lawn game (we played inside the barn).  You have to aim to hit different sticks, but it also requires some strategy and thought. Fun game — Tusia ended up winning one round.

 

Not just about aim though — requires some thinking! Huge hit for the youngest to the oldest players. We are definitely going to purchase this game — so fun

 

Mexican Train Dominoes

When the downpour got too intense, we went inside and learned how to play Mexican Train Dominoes. Once again, so fun, and another game I want to buy for our collection. We all loved it.

 

So fun!

 

I love new games — and these are fun, exciting, different, and NEW to us! If you haven’t heard of them and like games, highly suggest getting them! I also think they make great hostess gifts.

  1. It sounds like you had a fantastic time despite the unexpected rain! I’m particularly intrigued by the game Scatter—how does the strategy aspect play out in a casual setting? Also, did you find any specific age groups gravitating more towards either game, or was it a pretty equal mix of enjoyment across the board?
