Ravenburger "That's Not A Hat" Game night review/Tryazon Party

 

Trying new games is something our family loves to do so when Ravensburger asked us to try out three of their new games we couldn't say no! I will list my games in order from favorite to not so favorite.

Level 8- the joke at our house is that someone got mad when they were playing Phase 10 with their family and decided to go ahead and write their own rules to play by. If you have played Phase 10 then this game will be fairly easy to catch on to. There are 8 levels and cards are numbered 1-15 with skip cards and wilds. On each level there is a pattern of sorts you must get a run of a certain amount 1,2,3,4 10,11,12 or there are a few that you have to get the same number like four pairs. They also have a few levels where color matters. Each person has their own discard pile and when it is the next player's turn they can draw from any of the discard piles or from the middle. A round ends when someone has laid their cards and then runs out of cards but being able to play on someone else's line or on their own. The person who runs out of cards moves down two levels and anyone who has laid their level also gets to move down but just one. It is a very fun game- depending on how many people you have playing it, it can take a fairly long time to play.

Pinata Blast is a few game for kids of all ages. This one is a bit easier for the younger audience to catch on to. There are several die that all have candy images on them. Each player is given seven cards that also have images of candy on them. The person with the pinata stick rolls all the dice and then chaos begins. If you see a candy that matches your card you lay it down and then grab the dice with your candy on it but look out there is a green die and whatever image is on that one makes that particular candy bad for the round and you will lose your card if you accidentally grab that kind. When we played it with three people it was very easy to avoid the "bad candy"but when we added in an extra two people it was much harder to remember. This is a very fun game and can be played in under 10 minutes so it's a good game for those with a shorter attention span or if you are just trying to kill a few minutes! 

That's not a Hat- the reason for the party.... well we just honestly didn't get this game. I don't know if it's because we all have terrible memories but every round we played, no one actually remembered what they had. I guess we need to try it again, maybe with a different group of people but I wasn't very impressed with this one. 

That being said all the games came in nice small boxes so they are so easy to take on trips. I had not played Ravensburger games before and became a big fan of theirs and I can not wait to see what else they put out!

Thank you Tryazon and Ravenburger for another fun night with family and friends. 

Tryazon and Pillow Cube Party

We got to try out the #pillowcube pillow the last few weeks- I love the cooling features of the pillow and if you are a true side sleeper this is a good pillow. I apparently sleep a bit too much on my stomach! However it has been passed on to another side sleeper in my house who loves it! We love the cute little sloth and they have several other options of kid cube pillows, a cat, a unicron and a shark. I am a big fan of their Cubezzz Sleep Supplements. I love that they have some melatonin and magnesium in them. Gave me restful sleep and I woke up feeling refreshed. #tryazon We really enjoyed this party and were glad to host. The t-shirts with the 90s vibes were also enjoyed by all!

 

ANOTHER game night for the Nordgrens ONE and DONE

Another fun game that our family got to try. For all those who have followed our gaming journey, it’s a bit like Blank Slate- except there are teams involved- there are also ways to sabotage the other team. I think this would be a great game of a big group- especially if you add in the harder parts. Says ages 14+ and I would say that is pretty accurate, not due to anything inappropriate- just for the difficulty of the game. I think you could easily play this with a group as large as 20 people, if anyone wants a coupon code let me know!!  

Another Fun game night from The OP and Tryazon

 

We were able to have another fun round of game parties. Mish Match is a game I would say is between the card game War and Spot it- It is a fun game that kids of all ages really enjoyed. Tapple 10 is a spin off of the full board game called Tapple. this game has the same concept but there are 10 different ways to play this game. We enjoyed one where you have to a specific topic and then a card that tells you what the word must start with and the first person to guess a word that fits gets the card. First player to ten cards whens the game. The other night we played that game with four adults and three kids and it worked out well for everyone! Thank you to the theOP and Tryazon for choosing us! 

Fuzzies Game Night brought to you by Tryazon

Fun to get to try games and share them with you when everyone is starting to look for that new hot game for buying during the Christmas season. This is like quiet Jenga- The goal is mostly the same- make a tower of fuzzy balls and then depending on what color the card is take a fuzzy off and place it higher on the tower. If you knock any off then you have to take as many cards as you fuzzies that got knocked off and complete those tasks moving forward. My kids really enjoyed the fuzz balls and trying to get them to stay together. We had a little friend over for the evening and he LOVED playing the game, we may not have followed the rules then but he had a fun time watching the balls fall.  Thanks to Tryazon and ASMODEE games for allowing us to host this party. 

Casa M Spice Company and Tryazon Party

What a great line of products from Casa M Spice Company. Hosting a party for Tryazon, we got to try the Casa M Spice Company's Stainless Shaker gift set (it retails for $134.99 or a little over $16 per spice. I loved the variety that they had for different types of meat. They had spices for beef, chicken, fish and a few all purpose seasonings as well. 

We enjoyed trying the season all for our burgers and they gave off such good flavor. I love the name of the beef one as we live deep on beef country. Cattle Drive actually means something to us! I also love the feeling of the stainless shakers they feel so nice in the hand and put just the right amount of spice with each shake. 

We even got brave and tried the Hooked spices (my family is not a huge fish eating family. We had some trout we had bought awhile back and used this to make a blackened fish. It was very flavorful and even our fish avoiding kids thought it was pretty good. 

The only thing I thought was a little weird is on all the ingredients the first ingredient is "spices" there are very few different ingredients listed after that so I am just curious as to what "spices" means. We were very happy with the products and thankful to Tryazon and Casa M Spice Company choosing us. 

 

Bestway and Tryazon air mattress party

We have always loved the Bestway brand- we already have two mattresses- a queen size high topper and a twin sized high topper. This one is a queen sized low bed and we were very impressed with how well it worked, also how quickly it aired up. It only took 90 seconds to be from flat to ready for use! My 17 year old 6 ft tall daughter used it for a whole week when we were on vacation. The sheets stayed on, it stayed aired up and she really enjoyed it. Thank you to Bestway and Tryazon for letting us host this party!
