With the snow coming down outside, odds are the kids will be sticking around the house today. If your kids have already had their fill of cold and snow, getting everyone together for a game is a great way to avoid cabin fever and spend some quality time as a family. One game that we love is Bendomino by Blue Orange Games. It’s basically a twist on the traditional game of dominos, but the pieces are curved which adds a different element to the game (and creates a cool, snake-like pattern when they’re all next to each other). Our mom tester said both her kids loved the game and especially liked that you could choose to match the number of dots or the color of the dots, making it easy for her 5-year-old to play. The only drawback this family saw was the number of pieces included—the mom suggested buying a second set if you want to play a longer game with four players. The pieces are sturdy and made out of wood and as their commitment to the environment, Blue Orange plants two trees for every one tree used to create its games. A game that’s fun and environmentally conscious—what could be better?
Bendomino can be purchased at www.blueorangegames.com for $15.95.
