Board Games

Cody and I like to play board games when we have some time off together. One of our favourites is called Battleship Live and looks like this:


It is like the original battleship but so much more fun to play! The tower in the middle is electronic and talks you through the game. It always knows where your pieces are and if you try to cheat it stops the game and tells you to put your piece back where it was. There is a spy plane and hidden missiles. It is a lot of fun!

Last night we bought a new favourite. I have been wanting to try this game since I first saw the ad for it. It is the Game of Life Zapped edition. It looks like this:



This game is like the classic Life game but modernized. It is played with your iPad and a game board with pieces and paper money. The iPad has the spinner on it and all your career and other life choices on it, as well as mini games to play to win more money. It also incorporates clips from America's Funniest Home Videos as part of the game that correspond to the part of life you are at on the board. At the end of the game the app helps you count up your money and takes a family picture of your peg family. We had a ton of fun playing it! It's easy to follow and I like that I get to use my iPad with it. 

Next up, Monopoly Zapped edition...we youtubed this last night to see what it is and it looks like a lot of fun too. I'll definitely have to pick it up when we find it!
