Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Our cool math fact for the week: 252 – 212 = 184.<br> <br> <br> <br> Thanks to First Move Financial for sponsoring the podcast. Go to <a href="https://firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers">firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers</a> to set up a time to talk and see if First Move is right for you.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you’ve ever seen an <a href="https://amzn.to/2TX2jWO">Eat This, Not That</a> book, we decided to riff on that idea with popular children’s games. This may become a recurring segment on the show – what do you think?<br> <br> <br> <br> What We’ve Been Playing<br> <br> <br> <br> Skulk Hollow – a great two player asymmetric game from Pencil First Games. The Foxen have an advantage due to greater numbers, but if you learn an appropriate strategy for a guardian, you may be able to pull off a win.<br> <br> <br> <br> Detective Club – a party game similar to Spyfall or Dixit – from Blue Orange.<br> <br> <br> <br> Mountains – a competitive mountain-hiking game from HABA. Like “Go Fish”, you cannot refuse a request for an item you have – but you’ll get a favor token whether or not you can help with the request. Pay close attention to the items other people have, as you’ll need their help to complete mountain hikes. “You want everyone to do well, you just want to do the best.”<br> <br> <br> <br> Kingdomino Duel – Anitra didn’t like this at first, because the rules aren’t well-stated. There’s more to keep track of than the original Kingdomino, and this is an even tighter game between the two players. Nice and compact for date night :) Review coming soon.<br> <br> <br> <br> Everyone Loves a Parade – from Calliope Games and Mike Mulvihill. There’s a lot going on for a relatively simple game. Frustrating at a high player count (we tried it at 5 players), but you lose the thematic “parade” feeling at 2 players.<br> <br> <br> <br> Wavelength – our new favorite party game. Dog name vs. Cat name: where would you put “Rex”?<br> <br> <br> <br> Boom, Bang, Gold! – see the SNAP review below.<br> <br> <br> <br> Super Powered Smash Masters – a game that’s new to us. A very simple dueling game from Dark Unicorn Games (there’s a lot of reading, but otherwise simple). Basically, superheroes punching each other – what’s not to like?<br> <br> <br> <br> For Science!<br> <br> <br> <br> The whole family went to <a href="https://www.wendys.com/">Wendy’s</a> for breakfast. Note: you can get the drive thru at 6:30am, but the dining room doesn’t open until 9 (oops!) – so we ordered our food to try and brought it back home.<br> <br> <br> <br> Between the whole family, we tried some standard breakfast sandwiches, the honey butter chicken biscuit, and the breakfast Baconator.<br> <br> <br> <br> All were pretty good, but the winner of the morning was the seasoned potatoes – crispy and delicious!<br> <br> <br> <br> This segment was not in any way sponsored or affiliated with Wendy’s.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/boom-bang-gold/"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> SNAP Review – Boom, Bang, Gold!<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew, Anitra, and Elliot talk about this silly, fast-moving game of mining with dynamite from HABA.<br> <br> <br> <br> See the <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/boom-bang-gold/">full SNAP review</a> for a transcript and more pictures.<br> <br> <br> <br> Play This, Not That!<br> <br> <br> <br> At its core, this is our goal here at The Family Gamers.<br> <br> <br> <br> Listeners will already know that Anitra <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers."></a>
