I love board games. I have for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, my family and I always had games nights, with board games or playing cards, and I have very fond memories of them. This has seen me continuing to enjoy them, so much so, that I tend to ask for a new one most Christmases – yep, that’s how much I love board games! The Husband and I play them with my brother and his wife, as fortunately, they enjoy them, too. We have so many old favourites all stored at my mum’s house for when we all descend for lunch and game-playing, and I have a cupboard full here, too. A recent favourite has been The LOGO game, so I knew when I saw that they had a new one out in that family of games, called The Best of TV and Movies board game, that I needed it in my life!
“The Best of TV & Movies” is the new “entertainment” edition of the LOGO family.
It’s a race around the board with unique tweaks like the “Mute” card (silencing a member of another team) and the “Change Channels” card (that lets you “pass” on a card you don’t like). You’ll be answering humorous and interesting questions on movies and TV shows, proving just how much you know.
For 2 – 6 players or teams. Ages 12 – Adult.
(RRP £29.99)
If I start by saying that we loved it so much that we played it three times in a row (no, I didn’t even win once, though the Husband did twice!), you’ll get the idea that this is fun?! The range of TV and movies covered is extensive – we had questions on Dr Who (tricky, as none of us watch it, but we still got there!), Bambi, Indiana Jones, The Godfather, DIY makeover shows… Here, this gives you a feel for the variety…
And this is just a very small selection of the cards – there are plenty to keep us guessing! It’s simple enough to play. We played individually, though there is also a team game, which I’m thinking we’ll try next time to make it a little different. It’s aimed at people aged 12 and over, though I will say Boo was lurking while we played and answered a few of the Disney questions! I really like this game, and am already looking forward to playing it again next time we all meet up. Maybe I’ll even win…
Drumond Park have a huge range of fabulous games, and when I looked through them all, I noticed that we have lots of them! I love Articulate, that’s a personal favourite of mine, and they have lots of games for younger children, too – do look out for further reviews and give-aways on some of those in the coming months.
But for now, it’s give-away time! I have one copy of LOGO: The Best of TV and Movies board game to give away to one lucky reader. To be in with a chance of winning it, just use the rafflecopter below, ends March 31st 2014, and good luck…
