12 – The Family Gamers Podcast – The “Crate-y” Holiday Season

Thanksgiving is next week, yikes! So let’s talk gifts. This week, we’re talking non-digital gifts – board games, card games, and non-electronic toys.

But first, what we played this week!

• Power Grid
• Santa’s Little Helpers and the Ice Cube Jam
• Fallout 4
• Fallout Shelter (iOS or Android)

We are big fans of Kiwi Crate! With 4 different subscriptions and dozens of individual boxes to choose from, they are a great choice for the kids in your life. They are having a huge sale for Black Friday (60% off first month subscription, or 50% off all individual boxes in their shop), so check them out!

Our top board games for gifting:

• Story Cubes
• Forbidden Island or Forbidden Desert
• Bug Trails
• Robot Turtles
• Castle Panic
• City Square Off (Cathedral is good too)

I love Baby Cheapskate’s list of All-Star Toys – toys that will get played with year after year. Check out their site for gift ideas: toys that get played with broken up by age group.

Next week, we’ll announce the winner of the Maze Racers contest!
