Board games are a favorite around here!
All year long we look forward to Family Board Game Day.
It's an event with lots and lots of games available to try out and play. Even better, someone will even teach you how to play it if you need help--I love that, and often need it!
We've discovered so many fun games there!
Last year when we went, the boys learned an abbreviated version of a War game. It was way over my head, but the boys caught on and loved it. This year they were anxious to play it again.
They are still years away from playing those sort of games on their own, but Bart, our favorite game expert, told them that Stratego would be a great starter game for them.
Henry, especially, could not get to the store fast enough to buy it.
It is, in fact, the perfect game for those war loving boys!
Fun Fact:
When Amy and I were little, I loved playing board games. She loved barbies.
We would compromise and trade off playing one and then the other. We nearly always started out with barbies and never quite made it to the board game.
There are definite advantages to being the oldest!
