Mapmaking can be fun!

"Mapmaker, Mapmaker find me a find, map me a map" Ok. That's not how the song goes, but it sounds good! This summer I was able to attend GenCon virtually. It was a different experience, but I enjoyed it: no crowds, no traffic, no insane heat outside when finding something to eat. One of the…

A summertime treat of a game!

Remember the warm days of summer by playing this cool ice cream sundae themed game.

Truck tells us why we shouldn’t panic

The following is a review written entirely by Truck. I have been working on getting him excited about writing and having some responsibility with our website, since his ultimate goal in life is to become a YouTuber. The post is all by him, grammar, opinions, colors, etc. Hi i’m truck wey truck you might ask?Well…

Don’t Panic!

I am part of a group on Facebook that is filled with fellow gameschoolers. It's a great place to learn about different games and find out what might be the best game for a particular topic or age. The group is also an enabling site, making me feel like I need to own all the games.…

So…

Guess what happens when an immune compromised child goes to kindergarten and is popular? He gets to share germs with everyone and ends up staying at home sick for a lot of time, barely a few weeks into school. As a result, games have been put on hold for the most part. We've wanted to play,…

Back to School is here! (A little late!)

I seriously thought this posted in August. I was wrong. I apologize. Please read this and pretend it’s August. So last week school started. For N, T has some kind of schoolwork pretty much daily all year. (Ask him how he feels about it. I dare you!) N was able to ride on a big…

Kitties can be Magical

There are only 4 days left to back this Kickstarter, but I have been wanting to share about it. Magical Kitties Save the Day is a fun RPG that has you creating adorable (if you want them to be) kitties to help solve situations. I will be honest, we haven't done much of the role playing…

New Favorite?

I might just have a new favorite game to play! Don't get me wrong-I enjoy playing almost all games (war games aren't something I can get into), but this new game...there's something about it that just hooks you. One thing about going to a game convention, you get to learn about other publishers of games,…

Balancing act

In the past 5 years, I've learned how to balance many things on my proverbial plate. Doctors, specialists, therapies, play time, nap time, life. It really is amazing how you learn to do so many things when you have a child that is considered medically fragile. You look at him and wouldn't realize it, but…

It’s been one week…

It's been a week of rain, reading instructions, rain, letting the dust settle, more rain and learning a new AR game. So far T has played Haba's Animal Upon Animal: Crest Climbers a few times alone. It's a great solo game, offering spacial skills as well as fine motor skills for balancing.  He didn't necessarily…
