Is there a better way to get a family together than sitting and playing a board game? The laughter and memories are priceless.
But, I have to admit that when I received this newest game I was not imagining the fun, family memories we would make playing it. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to even understand it! There were a lot of directions and even a CD to watch to teach you how to play the game.
Oh My Word. To say I was intimidated was the understatement of the year! I put it aside until I could work my nerve up to try it.
It was actually my 9yo that prompted me to open it up and give it a try. lol She loves strategy games, I don't. Not normally anyway.
We opened the box and talked through the directions together and just started playing. In a matter of minutes we were in a fierce competition to see who would win!
I'd like to say that I won all of the games, but Peanut is a determined player and fought back to beat me half of the games we played. :-) We had a ball and didn't stop playing for quite a while. Then we started teaching my 6yo how to play and the two of them kept playing while I got to watch. Priceless!
Tri-Cross is a great game that really is easy to learn. Don't let the instructions turn you off before you have a chance to play it. There is a lot of information in the instruction guide, so I suggest you take it in pieces and just start playing. What's even better is if you discover how to play it as a family, working it out as you go. You are sure to make memories by doing it that way.
You can buy your own Tri-Cross game at their website for $24.95 for the regular board game. But, you can also buy a wooden version for $35.95 or the Eco-Edition version for $19.95. The ages recommended for this game is 10 and up but my 9 and 6yo did just fine with it. It is set up for 2-4 players.
As well as the regular board game we received to review we were able to review the Eco-Edition as well. This is a great version with a cloth playing board and a drawstring sack for the pieces. It is a super convenient way to take this game on the road.
Head on over to the Tri-Cross website and have a look around. Don't forget to check out the FAQ page and the How to Play pages.
