If you have a family game night or the kids are stuck in the house, here are a couple of great card games to play. The first is "SCRABBLE SLAM"; we have had this for a while and we ALL enjoy playing it. It is simple, you start with a word and each player takes a card from their hand and replaces a letter to make a new word. Can't remember what the suggested age is on it, but, as long as your child can spell four letter words (not THOSE four letter words!) easily, they should be able to play, too! Yesterday, I picked up another card game called "BLINK"; whatever the card is on top, each player has to be able to match it by either, shape, color or number. The suggested age is 7 and up, but my 6 year old twins picked it up quickly and loved it! I bought both of these at Wal-Mart for around $5.00 each; not alot to pay for hours of fun!
just found a Q for a Free Hasbro Card Game when you buy a Hasbro game for $9.99 or more. One of the free games pictured is Scrabble Slam! The others pictured are Sorry Revenge, Monopoly Deal, and Pictureka.
My favorite game is Scrabble, and I can never get anyone in the house to play with me. But, as soon as I mention "SLAM", my 8 year old is there...and he usually beats me!
OMG get Monopoly deal...If you like reg monopoly, even if you hate it, you'll like Monopoly deal. We play all the time when we have family nights, or friends/family over We even made our own house rules to kinda make our games more, shall I say, mean. We like to steal cards back and forth and such...it's a great game cause the tables can turn in an instant. And you could easily finish a game in 5 minutes--though most are 15 minutes
First game my Mother taught me after solitaire was SheepHead, of course I am not sure how "cute" it is.
