We Love This Game

We love to play games with our kids. It is a fun way to spend time with them without losing our minds playing Barbie or Hotwheels. Ruckus is one of our favs. This game is fast, and can be played by a pretty wide range of ages. My youngest child is 5, and my oldest is 11, and all 3 kids (and both adults) have a great time playing. Ruckus would be a great game to add to your game room, take on vacation, or give as a gift.

Each person gets 7 cards (the cards all have pictures on them). If you get a match or more than one of the same picture, you put a pile down. Then play starts and anyone can steal another person's pile as long as they have a card with the same picture as that of the pile. If play slows down and no one can steal, the dealer gives each player another card and things pick up again. When a person has 1 card left, they throw it down (or steal a pile) and say "out." You get points for the cards in your piles and deduct points for what is left in your hand. Play continues until you reach a certain amount of points, like 50. It is fast and crazy, and a lot of fun. You can get it here.

What games do you love to play?

We like Scrabble, Boggle, Catch Phrase, and Guesstures. I LOVE Trivial Pursuit, but no one will play with me :)

I've never heard of this game. I will have to check into getting it. We mostly play uno, slap jack and war. all card games. Any board games we may have owned like Candyland and Sorry have missing pieces.

As one film director said that Birkin was the first to receive a prototype of Hermes Belt . For the rest of the world, we will just have to continue looking a photos and dreaming about these fabulous handbags. To create something extraordinarily beautiful is what they want to achieve, even if they are quite expensive.
