Quiddler Gives You A Chance To Connect With Your Family!

About the Game
Quiddler is a delightful challenge for rookies and wordsmiths alike. There are two bonuses each round: one for the longest word and one for the most words! The object is to arrange all the cards in your hand into one or more words. There are 8 rounds per game. Start with 3 cards in the first round, 4 cards in the second round, on up to 10 cards in the last round. Players draw and discard until someone forms their entire hand into words using two or more cards per word. Once a player goes out, everyone else gets one last chance to draw and put down the words they have made. Quiddler is called ‘The SHORT Word Game’ because readers of all ages can play and win with short words like ‘at’, ‘is’ and ‘the’. You can even use a dictionary when it’s not your turn. Try to use your high point letters, but don’t get caught with them in your hand!



My Take on the Game
This game was a blast. We had tried Quiddler Jr,, and had a blast with that, so moving up to the next version only made sense. We found that the game was a ton of fun and that you were definitely challenged to think on your feet and come up with words that will bring you to victory.

This is a game that you will bring out over and over again. You will find that it will bring you closer together, encourage a broader vocabulary and spend some true quality time together!

Game Review - Karma Card Game

About the Book
The inventor of FIVE CROWNS has done it again! Marsha Falco has created another delightful family game that unites generations. Packaged with the same size and look of the original line of games this elimination game has players locked in friendly competition that can turn completely around at the end of the game. Whether the Set line of games has been a best seller in your store for years or is a new addition, KARMA is a must-have for your card game section.

How to Play
KARMA is an elimination game where you have multiple winners and only one loser. The goal is to get rid of all of your cards. Play a card of equal or higher value to the previous played card or pick up the entire discard pile. Move through your hand faster by playing doubles or triples. A Karma Card, like a wild card, can be played at any time to get you out of a jam. But, be careful how Karma Cards are played because What Goes Around… Comes Around.

The KARMA card game is full of surprises right up to your last card played. It is a unique game because you are on a team with everyone and yet everyone is on a team against you. Two games can be combined to play with up to 12 players to add to the fun!



My Take on the Game
I am always looking for new games that will engage and delight my family and recently I learned about a new company when playing another of their games Quiddler, while visiting a friends’ child in the hospital. I initially reached out to the company to inquire about reviewing this game, but was encouraged to try Karma, as they stated that it was a family friendly game and they thought that it would be a great fit.

I received the game the other day and have to say that they were right. The card game, was easy to setup and follow and I found that both young and old could comprehend and play the game without problems. Best of all though, the game was interactive and engaging and a ton of fun to play. While the game is not a long game per se, it is something that gets to be a bit addictive and we found ourselves wanting to play over and over again (yes, we are game fanatics).

All of this being said, if you like card games and enjoy games that are interactive and fun for the whole family, I highly recommend Karma to you and your family as I do not believe that you will be disappointed in the least.

Holiday Cards by Paperless Post

Thanksgiving is over and now it’s time to spread holiday cheer.  More people are skipping paper holiday greeting cards this year and luckily Paperless Post has redefined the tradition of paper stationery so that people can send custom, personalized invitations, cards and greetings online (and even collect responses from recipients in moments!)

Paperless Post launched a line of holiday cards and invitations that include collaborations with famed stationers Bernard Maisner and Mr. Boddington’s Studio, as well as photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Elliott Erwitt.

They also launched new “Timeline Cards” which allow users to create a more complex message through multiple pages of text and photos - perfect for reviewing the events from 2011 as the year comes to a close.

New holiday cards also can accommodate multiple photos for families that can’t everyone into one snapshot.  There are photo filters to transform your family pictures and festive, thematic holiday envelopes.  Samples of Paperless Post’s holiday line can be viewed herehttp://paperless.ly/dxFACG and here http://paperless.ly/sCUhOK.  Attached are some great examples as well!

In December alone, Paperless Post users will save roughly the number of trees in Central Park by sending Paperless cards, envelopes and envelope liners instead of pulp-based products.

Since launching in April 2009, Paperless Post has sent highly customized invitations and cards to 50 million recipients. Paperless Post brings the best qualities of printed stationery to web-based communication with a heavy focus on design, an immersive customization experience, and a level of formality and beauty otherwise unavailable on the web.  That quality is reflected by the fact that Paperless Post has grown faster than any of its competitors, all of whom have always offered free cards.

Paperless Post even have a free product now and the timing for this sleek new line could not be more perfect, as it meets the needs of consumers who want to send spectacular holiday cards and invitations but don't have a lot of spare time and money to invest during the holidays (a busy time of year!) (see samples of the free product here:http://paperless.ly/tzw9dN).

Christmas in July with Storkie.com

I have heard people talking about Christmas in July for many years, but for myself, I have been a person that thinks far in advance, and will at times, even find gifts throughout the year, so though Christmas in July is a topic for some, I say, why  not think Christmas throughout the year!

Some of the ways in which my wife and I prepare for Christmas throughout the year is to plan out our Christmas Cards far in advance. While there are times when we do Photo Cards or other cards that we can design online, we have also made our own cards in the past as well, so every year is an adventure. Keeping this in mind though means that we need the time to plan out and coordinate this effort, so waiting until the last minute does not work!

Recently in thinking about our Christmas Cards (Yes we are looking at doing them already), we came across a site called Storkie.com. We had never heard of this company before but were impressed by the variety of cards that they did have not only for Christmas, but for year-long use. So whether you are looking for wedding invitations, baby announcements or something else, Storkie.com has a huge variety to select from. I also have to say that not only do that have a large variety, but the variety that they do have is high quality as well, which is always a must when looking for special occasions like the ones I mentioned.

For me, last year was one of the years that I remember most in regards to our Christmas Cards. We had done a lot as a family in the previous year and because of this we had a lot of great pictures. Instead of writing a letter and including pictures within it, we wanted to do something creative so we decided to build out a photo card with many of the images for the year. The whole family got into this and we had a blast. It did take a long time though so that leads me to the planning that we are doing as a family now!

So if you are like me and are already planning out your Christmas Cards or if you have other special events within the future, go and check out Storkie.com and see if they can provide you with the cards you need! I think that you will be impressed!
