Befudium Game Review and Giveaway

I have to make a confession. I love playing games, I mean LOVE playing games. My poor family knows the craziness that occurs whenever we have a holiday or a family event. The know that if we are going to get together, we are going to play a game. Some refuse to play, others just go along with it because they know how much fun it can be if you have a new and fun game to share. I was so excited for my family to review the game Befudiom this year at Thanksgiving! 

                                                                                                                      

Befudiom is a word game where teams are challenged to guess selected idioms by acting, shouting, drawing, or spelling them out. (An idioms is an expression consisting of a combination of words that have a figurative meaning, like "It's raining Cats and Dogs.) The various ways in the game of expressing the idiom by acting, spelling, drawing or shouting. The name “Befudiom” combines the words “befuddled” and “idiom,” alluding to the game’s root in mixed-up meanings. 

We had so much fun playing Befudium! We played men against women and it was hilarious to watch. The great thing about the game was that there are four different ways to express your idiom, so if you are not too great a drawing (like me) you can always hope to act out your next clue. Even my youngest sister, the anti-game player, was laughing and having fun with it! She is a tough critic so that is saying a lot. We laughed, bantered and even had a few tears of joy at the end. I definitely recommend you get Befudiom for your next gathering!

Family Fun with Family Game Night #DipDipHooray #CBias

With fall and back to school just around the corner, that means everyone in my family will be much busier. It also means less time for family togetherness. My five grown children lead busy lives, and frankly so do I.
While I'm sad we don't see as much of each other as we would like, when we are together we like to laugh and enjoy each other's company.

So I decided that before the summer ended, we were going to have a Family Game Night. We have always loved playing games and can get pretty competitive. Our favorite thing to do after Thanksgiving dinner is to get out the board games and play for hours.

I got together with my oldest daughter, her husband and children to have a game night and dinner. My youngest daughter was coming over too, though her boyfriend couldn't make it because he had to work. But she was excited to see her two nephews and her niece. We love playing Monopoly and it can get pretty funny and intense when we play. We love it, and playing games is such a great way to share family time.

I went to Walmart to pick up a few things for our game night. I was trying to think of something we could all have for dinner that would be quick and easy to fix, and that we would all enjoy. Chicken nuggets, of course!
My family and I love Tyson Chicken Nuggets. I love how they make getting together with family and friends at the last moment so easy, and takes the stress out of cooking.

The less time we needed for cooking, the more time we would have for game playing!

While I was at Walmart I had to get french fries to go with the chicken nuggets. We love them together. Our favorite brand is Ore-Ida Seasoned Crinkles. My grandsons adore french fries, and they love dipping then in ketchup. Lately they have been dipping everything in ketchup! I got a 40 oz. bottle of Heinz Ketchup to make sure there was plenty for dipping all those french fries and chicken nuggets.

I also needed to get a new Monopoly game. After years of playing, our old game was getting pretty ragged and a couple of the pieces were missing. A few bananas and a yogurt treat were all I needed to make this family game night fun . #DipDipHooray

Everyone is here and it's time to put in the chicken nuggets and french fries. My grandsons keep asking when  it will be time to eat. Luckily it won't take long. I had forgotten how hungry little boys can get!

It was such a gorgeous evening that we decided to eat dinner and play Monopoly outside on the deck. We were all pretty hungry and the chicken nuggets and french fries were going fast. The boys loved dipping theirs in ketchup of course. I know the game will last much longer that the light out here, so I'm sure we will have to take it inside to finish it.

We stopped playing the game while we were eating. I bought my grandsons some new play-doh to play with after dinner, and hopefully they will be happy doing that.

We are trying to stretch out our beautiful weather before the rain up here in Washington begins. It is perfect weather for our Hasbro Game Night. My daughters were pretty happy eating and dipping too!

We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, and I can't wait to do it again. Family game night is a great way to bring your family together and share some quality time. #DipDipHooray
