Discover the Exciting World of Ticket to Ride!
Our family LOVES Ticket to Ride. This fantastic package includes both the original Ticket to Ride and Ticket to Ride Europe, offering two incredible journeys through North America and Europe. Whether you're playing with family or friends, both games are perfect for 2-5 players, promising hours of competitive and enjoyable gameplay. In Ticket to Ride, you'll be busy constructing train routes across North America, while Ticket to Ride Europe will have you navigating tunnels, ferries, and stations throughout Europe. It takes 1 hour (or more) to play this strategy game.
This fun game is interactive and educational. Players learn about continents, countries, and world flags while developing problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills. There are options for easy and advanced play, making this great for all ages.
Mystery, Intrigue and Fun: Scotland Yard
Oh, Scotland Yard! What a blast from the past! This is a game I played as a child and now share with my kids. It's all about mystery, strategy, and tons of fun!
One player is on the run from Scotland Yard. The rest team up to track them down. An engaging detective experience that lasts about an hour. 3-6 players., ages 10+ due to the level of skill involved.
Trivial Pursuit: Family Edition has become a favorite for game nights at our house. It brings the classic game to life and is perfect for everyone in the family. We love that it includes questions from all the classic categories, like geography, but with card decks for both adults and kids. Mom and dad can happily compete against our children without leaving anyone out. As we collect pie wedges like in the original game, it's so much fun to see everyone tackling age-appropriate questions. It truly creates a win-win situation for us.
Trekking the National Parks is a blast for fans of the National Parks. It takes about an hour to play this strategy game for 1-5 players ages 10+. The 3rd Edition includes upgraded components, improved artwork, and a new Solo Mode. This game was designed by a family who loves our National Parks and it is a great way to learn more about each location.
Who Knows Geography Better? is an engaging trivia game designed to enhance your family's understanding of world geography. With a variety of questions that cover countries, capitals, landmarks, and cultural facts, this game promises to be both educational and entertaining. It's perfect for family game nights, road trips, or any gathering where you want to learn while having fun.
Spot It is the perfect game for road trips. The Camping edition is a favorite for my daughters, especially when we explore National and State Parks together. This delightful matching game is easy to understand and can be enjoyed in just 5-10 minutes.
