Before kids, my husband and I were regular game players. We often centered get togethers with other couples around playing games. Three kids later, we don't drag games out near as often as we like, but we are working on it. The Great Games Book has given us a new option in our game arsenal.
One of the main reasons I liked this book was because of the variety. There are a ton of games in this book. There are books fit almost any group size and age level. My husband found games in this book that he plans on using in his work meetings, there are games that we have been able to play with my 3 kids (ages 1-6), and there are games that my husband and I could play alone. I don't know of any games of game books that can fit such a wide range of groups.
The book itself has a great layout. The table of contents breaks the book down in to a vareity of catagories. This makes it very easy to find games that fit your group size or game goals. The games themselves have clear and easy directions. Each game starts out by telling you how many players are needed and what objects are needed.
My family has defintely enjoyed reviewing this book. Our only complaint is figuring out which game to play!

[...] Posted by Kim on 6th November and posted in Uncategorized I love games. I don’t always have the patience to play board games with my kids, but we are getting there. I love finding other games that we can play and recently we discovered a simple game that we all enjoy. You take a penny and simply put it somewhere in a room. You don’t hide it under anything or put it up way high, just find a spot and sit it there. My girls love it because we can all particpate and everyone gets a turn at hiding the penny. We got this game from the Great Games Book. You can check out the review I did for this book on our sister site HERE. [...]
