Back to Family Fun Knights
Well we started again. My wife and I took the kids to Toys R Us and spent a little time looking over the isles of games to see what new wonders we could find. After several hours of searching (ok it was only about 20 min), we decided to give Dicecapades! by Haywire Group a try. Did I mention the game has over 100 dice? The game is suggested for players over the age of 12, but our 7 and 10yr old had lots of fun playing. We did need to help the 7yr old with the tougher trivia questions although he did get a few everyone else was stumped on. The game has trivia questions, skills, drawing, spelling and memorization challenges. The only real problem we ran into is the time. The box said 30min to play a game. We ran over an hour easy. Some of the questions are worded a little ambiguously, but we just made a few house rulings to clear things up. It was nice to get everyone together again and spend some quality time with the t.v. and video games turned off. I'll have some pictures to post in a couple of days. Oh and did I mention it came with over 100 dice?!?

Looks like fun! 100 dice though? Somebody needs to introduce them to the hundred-sided die.
ReplyDeleteDicecpades is a great family night game. The game allows players to showcase trivia knowledge, puzzle-solving ability, and 'on your feet' thinking. It's a ton of fun for all ages. This game can also be played in 'team mode' which can bring two or more families together for a memorable game night.
