Skyrise by Roxley Games!

 Roxley Games and Tryazon selected me to try out and share the new Skyrise game, last month. It took me a minute to get my posts together to tell ya'll about how fun this game is because of our big 20th anniversary trip, but we really enjoyed this game and felt that it was 110% worth the cost!  

We have one other game by Roxley Games, called Santorini, that we bought a LONG time ago!

Skyrise is advertised as an easy to learn and fun to play auction game! 

It is a little overwhelming when you see the (beautifully illustrated) instruction manual, but once you start playing, the game-play really is pretty simple!  

Sulley, my 9 year old, was able to play along with the teenagers and completely understood the game, despite the recommended age of 14 and up.

The pieces and boards are high quality and durable and the box is very sturdy. We tried out the essentials edition & the quality is superb. There are two higher tiers of collector's editions that are more expensive and come with even more deluxe parts and components.

All in, we really enjoyed the ease of play, the high quality components, and the fun strategy in multiple different parts of the game.  We will absolutely play this one with our game night friends and with just our family! 

Messy Table Games!

 Last weekend we were able to host a Pirate Axolotl themed game night at the library, thanks to Tryazon and Messy Table Games! 

We were sent 3 new games to try out and we also brought along some of our favorite games too! 

A Lotta Axolotls is a great multi-player game that involves a little strategy and a lotta fun! 

Riley was so excited that she won Booty Dice after her strategy of attacking other pirates combined with gaining coins paid off! 

Sulley was a pro at this game by the time we got to game night, because our family had a great time playing it in the weeks leading up to the event! 

Tim and Ms. Rebecca really enjoyed Tally Up thanks to the web based score keeper!  

Everybody enjoyed the pirate themed snacks! 

Game Night guests could shop Messy Table games on the computer during the event! 

Lots of fun games were brought in by the guests too!
