Let's Play: Molkky


Hello friends,


I've got a lot of exciting things in store for you this month as fall brings things back into focus.  Today's post is a fun review of a game called Molkky.  The game's maker, Tactic Games sent me a copy of the game to try out and review for you all (Nope I'm not paid to review it, they just saw I write about games sometimes and thought you all would like it!).  Molkky is a game that originates in Finland and is one of the most popular lawn games in Europe.  You can read more about it's history here.

I was hoping to try it out with family before or during Labor day weekend, but nature had other plans and sent us some rain with the remnants of hurricane Hermine.  But take a peek at the video to see Bryan and I playing and enjoying this game!  It gives a much better view of the game pieces in action.

My Molkky Experience




In terms of the quality it's nicely boxed up in a very sturdy cardboard carrying case with a comfortable plastic handle.  The wooden games pieces seem to be made of a sturdy, but lightweight wood, probably pine.  The whole set is built to last well, and I think families will not only get a lot of use out of it since it's a game that's easy for all ages to learn and play, but also keep coming back to it each summer.  (Or if you're like us you can play indoors with bad weather!)  It's not as complex as some of the board games I play, but I really like games like this that can be played at parties and family get togethers.  If you'd like to get a game you can find them here through my Amazon affiliate link.  And you can check out Tactic's site here as well for more information.

Thanks for reading!  Let me know if you have any other fun board games or lawn games you want me to try out in the comments.  I'll have some more posts coming up soon.

Let's Try: Japan Funbox

Hi Friends!


I can't believe how busy this month has been or how fast it's been flying by.  I've been trying to get caught up on life and feel like the news has just been so negative.  Maybe not all of it....but it's overwhelming to think about too much, so I haven't been online as much because of it.

Japan Funbox




However I do have this bright spot to share with you via a video post.  I was contacted by a representative from the Japan Funbox and asked if I'd like to try their mini box and share it with my audience.  If you've caught any of my other snack box reviews you probably know Japanese snack foods are some of my favorites.  One of the most unique things about this box is that it's packed and shipped straight from Japan!  I found the snacks to be a little fresher because of this and it felt really special to be getting mail from Japan too.  While Japan Funbox sent me a free box to review all opinions in the review are my own.

Thanks for reading.  See you all again soon!
