I don’t know about y’all but in my home we love board games. It stems from my childhood and something that I brought into adulthood thanks to my father. That is why I was so thrilled to learn about Winning Moves Games 25th Anniversary and that they were sending me two of my favorite games.
Winning Moves Games is a leading maker of board games, card games, and puzzles. Since they began in 1995 they have had a close relationship with Hasbro, Inc., which is one of the world’s largest game companies. That is why you recognize the games I will be telling you about today.
MONOPOLY® THE 1980’S EDITION
This MONOPOLY® 1980’S Edition is the classic game that I grew up with. The one that my siblings and I spent years playing and fighting over. Let me tell you we took this seriously and have played until we ran the bank out of money a few times.
My father played this game with us first when I was about six or seven. I remember because the younger kids wanted to play and he wouldn’t let them. We never beat him while playing but it wasn’t for lack of trying. My older brother is hard to beat as well. I plan on playing with him and his kids when they come on Thanksgiving. I am going to beat his booty this time. Okay, probably not but a girl can dream.
Large Print Lock Tile Scrabble
I love Scrabble! I always have and will play it with myself if I can’t get anyone to play with me. It is one of the ways I help the kids learn new words and learn to spell. So the Large Print Lock Tile Scrabble was right up my alley. Getting older means it harder to see those little squares. So the large print is helpful but I love that these lock into the board and won’t move around. Not to mention the board itself turns to make playing with others so much easier!
This games has already been played five times since we received it. Also would you believe that home and houses fell out onto the table when I set things up to take the picture? They did so I figured it was meant to be. Although if you look I couldn’t make a single word out of what’s left, at least not one that got me a good score. I’m all about a good score. I’m not easy to play Scrabble with at all. I will challenge a word in a minute and my brother said he is certain I cheat because there is no way I know all of those words.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.
