Holiday Gift Guide - Marina Games Review & Giveaway



In my house we believe that family game night should be every night. So as soon as dinner is through, as long as homework is done, we break out some kind of game. It doesn't have to take long. Its just the point of doing something together as a family.  A great company to find fun and unique family games is Marina Games.  Their games are great because they are more than just a fun pass time. They can help your children develop their  spelling and vocabulary while your play.



For our review, we were sent their Crossword Cubes. As a lover of crossword puzzles, I think I enjoyed this game almost as much as the kids did. Playing is easy. You just roll the 13 dice and see how many words you can make in crossword fashion. So all the letter have to be touching and make sense for it to count. Whoever has the most points as the end of the game wins.  Its simple but we played for hours without getting bored. Its amazing how many combinations of words you can make with just thirteen dice.











In addition to Crossword Cubes, Marina Games has several other exciting games to choose from including Farkle and Rummino. All of the are available at everyday low prices and would make great stocking stuffers for kids who love to play games. Be sure to check their website to locate a retailer near you that sells these fun games.


And now for the giveaway! One lucky winner is going to receive the same Crossword Cube game that we received to review.
