Diary of a Whimpy Kid Cheese Touch Board Game Review & Easter Giveaway




"Diary of a Whimpy Kid" is a crave that has been sweeping then nation. First the successful books and then the movie franchise, and now you can even play the games! For a least a year my kids have been "cheese touching" each other and I was completely in the dark about what it meant. But now thanks to Pressman Toys, I am finally in the loop and playing right along with them.

In the Diary of a Whimpy Kid Cheese Touch game, you can choose from any of six characters from the books-Greg, Fregley, Manny, Rodrick, Rowley, or  Holly. The characters need to make their way around the board, but in order to accomplish this, you need to avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch. There are four different activities designed to help you discover what you do and don't have in common with your fellow players. Things like, has your best friend even fallen asleep in class or has your cousin ever peed in the pool. By the end of the game, you will know the answers to these questions and so much more.



The game includes the board, 180 cards, cheese touch piece, 6 movers, game die, and the rules. It is designed for kids ages eight and older and my kids loved it. There were lots of different aspects to the game like a fun version of charades, yes and no questions, and a guessing game of who said what. It all comes together to see who can get into the minds of their fellow players, without getting cheese touched, of course.  Whoever gets inside the most heads will be the winner.

In honor of Easter, one lucky winner is going to receive their own copy of Cheese Touch. To enter, visit  Pressman Toys and tell me another game your kids love to play. For additional entries, you can do any of the following, but you must complete this initial entry first. Any entries that do not follow these guidelines will be deleted.
