When I grew up we played board games all the time. Angry Kid is really into all kinds of games right now. He loves classic board games and video games. I actually think that he prefers board games more. I don’t mind playing board games with him because I can actually understand what is going on. I can barely figure out how to turn on video games these days, and I’m pretty savvy with my computer.
I was recently introduced to a video game that I can actually play with my son. I was given a copy of Hasbro’s Family Game Night 3 for review. I love that games like the Game of Life, Clue, Twister, Mouse Trap and Yahtzee in classic and remixed versions were featured. These are the type of games that I like, classics with simple instructions. Angry Kid had to help me a little to set it up. At least my kid will be smarter than I am.
I believe playing games like this, even when they are on the TV, is a great way to get the family together. It is always hard to find things that will get the whole family together these days. We all have our different interests and tend to go our own ways. I love the we can play games, even video games together!
The game is rated “E” for Everyone. It is available on the Wii, XBox, and PS3 gaming systems. It has a retail price of $39.99.
Disclosure: I was provided a copy of Family Game Night 3 for the Nintendo Wii for review. My family genuinely had a great time playing this game.
