The Wizard Roll T-Shirt Giveaway!

I have become a fan of Roosterfin Games. They are not the typical games on the market. I’ve only experienced a few, but I have noticed that, not only are they well made, but they are imaginative, and fun to play. With our rampant electronics usage, the day of the board game is fading. Unfortunately, that also diminishes family time, togetherness, and actual human interaction with each other. I have two grown boys, now men. So, watching my youngest, whom is now 10, age, is heart wrenching. Time is flying by too fast, and I don’t want to spend that just watching him in front of a computer screen, or gaming system. Board game time, allows us to talk, laugh, and build memories. You may not even realize that, that is what is happening, too.

Wizard Roll won the 2017 Preferred Choice Award by Creative Child Magazine. How impressive is that! In this game, you use die matching, and pattern matching skills. Your goal is to be able to complete your spell card. There are 24 Spell Cards, 27 Rune Tiles, 18 Element Chips, 2 Cubes, 1 Reference Card, and an Instruction Sheet in the package. There is no board to set up, so this game is easy to play, almost anywhere. The cards are all pretty thick. They are much thicker than a deck of cards, and should last a long time. The instruction sheet, is a pretty sturdy piece of paper, but if your kids have trouble remembering instructions, and the sheet will be frequently handled. I recommend laminating it, as I did. The Reference Card looks just like one of the Spell Cards. You have to remove it from the pile, before starting the game. The Reference Card is so cute. It breaks down what everything is, and gives you the correct way to say everything, like in a real spell. For example, the words on the Reference Card spell out Sha-Ruk-Wa-Ack-Fa. You even get to zap people during the game, lol. That is, when you are lucky enough to roll the Wand Cube. (Insert evil laugh here). The Wizard who racks up 7 points first, is the winner of the game. You earn points, if you are able to complete one of your spell cards. Each spell card is allotted their own points, and they are clearly labeled next to the name of the spell, on the card.

I was the lucky one to roll the first wand die. I used it too lol, on my don. He wasn’t laughing. You should have seen his reaction; priceless! I think I’m going to add one our our Halloween want props to this game, so we can go through the zapping motion, and make it even more hilarious. My son ended up winning that game, so he did get the last laugh.

Overall, this game is a lot of fun. My 10 year will quickly tell me when something is a dud, or something we should keep. He really likes this game, and called it a keeper. You can laugh, and zap each other, and talk all at the same time. This is a fun game, that allows socialization, which is great for family time, and bonding. We are very happy with it.

It’s puzzle time. – Yagoozon’s Emoji Universe: 1000-Piece Emoji Jigsaw Puzzle. https://cspierdowis.com/its-puzzle-time-yagoozons-emoji-universe-1000-piece-emoji-jigsaw-puzzle/ https://cspierdowis.com/its-puzzle-time-yagoozons-emoji-universe-1000-piece-emoji-jigsaw-puzzle/#respond Wed, 09 Mar 2016 17:31:47 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=2777 I grew up in a house with a puzzle nut. My mom used to do them all of the time. They are fun, challenging, mentally stimulating, and a hobby that you can do with everyone in your family. Some puzzles are more challenging than others. This is a challenging puzzle, and a large one at that. It is a 1000 pieces of yellow. That is what makes it harder than a lot of other puzzles. The first thing my mom said when she saw this puzzle, was, “Wow, that’s a hard puzzle to do.” I would have to agree fully with her. The puzzle pieces look just like other puzzles we have. The edges were stamped out well. They are clean and even. The measurement of the puzzle when finished is: 26’ x 19.75 inches. I did not have a box of what I call, Puzzle Dust. Which is really just puzzle piece remnants from the factory. The puzzle always feels unclean to me after that. I had no issue with that with this puzzle. The pieces are sealed in a plastic bag, inside this box, upon arrival. This is a good quality puzzle, and definitely with the times.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Yagoozon’s Emoji Universe: 1000-Piece Emoji Jigsaw Puzzle, Emoji Splash, at a reduced cost, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. This product arrives as shown.
