Check Out Hootenanny Games With Us!

 I absolutely love being a Tryazon host! We get to experience so many new things and of course, adding new games and game companies to our collection is one of the best perks!

This summer, we were selected by Hootenanny Games to show off three of their new games- Feelin' Cute, Sour Patch Six 'Em, and Disco Island Escape.  When our box from the company arrived we were thrilled to see a bonus game, Snarkas!  

Unfortunately, all four kids (and Dad) got pneumonia, and I've had sick kids since the middle of May! 

We were finally able to hold our Tryazon party, but, I think being so close to July 4th made it challenging to get RSVPs and we didn't get a lot of attendance.  

We did the viral "candy salad" to share all of our favorite Sour Patch Kids candies.  The kids really enjoyed that!  

I had Zoo Pals cups and plates to go along with the Feelin' Cute game!  

We even had disco ball necklaces and a disco ball plush to go with Disco Island Escape!  

Our family favorite of the Hootenanny Games was Snarkas! I love that it incorporates some math both in the game play and in figuring out your score! 

I think the kids' favorite game was Disco Island Escape!  

In this game you play a set of 4 monkeys, who live on Disco Island.  Their lives are all fun and games until they discover that Disco Island is actually a volcano when it starts to erupt! Each player has 3 cards at a time that they use to move their monkeys through the lava flows to reach safety at the bottom of the volcano! 

We really enjoyed learning how to play Sour Patch Six 'Em.  This fast paced dice rolling game is easy enough for kids to learn and as young as 8 were able to play with the older teens and adults! 

Candy Salad!

I love Feelin' Cute! This adorable game introduces the concept of a "number line" to kids where they learn to place animals on a "cuteness line".  Players take turn being the judge of cuteness while the other players try to predict where the judge would place the animal.  

The animal cards are so fun! 

Ravensburgery Minecraft Tryazon!

In anticipation of the new Minecraft Movie, Ravensburger was releasing these new games!  

We got selected to try them out.  

We all enjoyed the Minecraft Movie much more than we anticipated.  

Minecraft Heroes of the Village and Minecraft Explorers bring the typical beauty and quality of a Ravensburger brand board game.  I know I can expect great attention to detail, including little baggies to store the pieces in, anytime I buy a game from Ravensburger! 

Once a month, we have game night at our house with a bunch of our friends and their kids!  The kids play games together and so do the adults! We had a good time trying out these new Minecraft games.  Even though several of the adults had never actually played any kind of Minecraft game before, they were able to pick up the mechanics of the game easily!  That means, if your kids LOVE Minecraft but you have no idea what's going on, you can still all enjoy this great family game! 

We all enjoyed the card game and its game play more than the tile-laying game, but they are both clear winners for anybody who loves Minecraft! 

 

Personalogy Tryazon!

 

Tryazon has done it again! I signed up for a game from a new company, because the party dates were during our already scheduled Game Night! We've been having game night since New Years Eve 2024 and it has been wonderful! We get to hang out with our adult friends and the kids get to hang out with their friends! 

I have to be honest, that I didn't have high hopes for this 'get to know you' game called Personalogy!  

But, when we started playing and having discussions based on the cards, it was a huge hit and lots of laughs were enjoyed!!  

I think the most interesting thing we talked about was being of the opposite gender for a day...Pam had some fun questions about what it would be like to have male anatomy!

The pictures speak for themselves!  We had so much fun starting out our game night with Personalogy!
