Do you, as a family, ever set a night once a week or month aside away from the computer, television, Wii, iPod, phone, etc and just have fun together playing a game?

Playing games, like Bananagrams or Blokus is an easy and excellent way to relax and spend some unhurried, enjoyable time together.

Being able to spend time together as a family is certainly important, however, your children benefit in other ways when playing board games. Through a family game night, they learn social skills, like communicating verbally, sharing, waiting and taking turns. Board games also help in developing the ability to focus and lengthen your child's attention span.

Playing a board game, especially in the confines of a family game night, certainly brings you together as a family unit. We all so busy with work, the "to do lists" at home, etc, it's nice to just be able to relax and unwind as a family and enjoy each others company. In the process your children will have memories of the time you spent together, which they will certainly look back on in a positive. In addition, the undivided attention you give your kids during the game night is the time they will share what's going on within their circle.

Not only does a family game night bring you closer together as a family unit, but it has a huge effect on your children as well on all levels. Set one up for your family, make it consistent, un-interrupted time and watch what happens ... you will certainly see the positive effects!

Greatest Non-Combat Strategy Game!!
This game is absolutely amazing, it has everything a strategy game needs. The game is short so you don't have to worry about being tied down for hours and hours, most games are about 30-60 minutes depending on the amount of players. This game is great and the trading with other players adds a whole new dimension to the game. This is finally a strategy game where the dice have little to do with the outcome of the game, its the person with the best strategy that wins. This game is very addicting and i would recommend it to any one who loves board games.

The funnest, most addictive game ever made!
This game is crazy. It is extremely fun if you like strategy games. It's like combining monopoly and risk, then shortening the gameplay down to about 30 min to an hour, and adding some extra awesome to it. I love this game. It takes a little while to set up but it's totally worth it.

Great for Family fun night for any age group
I read about this game in Wired magazine and decided that it would be fun to try for a family game night. Since everyone stays in the game to the end AND it doesn't last more that 90 minutes, it sounded like it would be a good group activity. I also got the 5-6 player extension which was necessary for our family night group. Our family group is really a mixed bag, so it was going to be a real test of the game.
