My kids love Minecraft (I enjoy it myself as well). So, as an alternative when we felt they've played enough games on the TV, we picked up this simple card-based spin-off game. It's a fun way to kill off the 20 minutes it takes to play a round.

About a week or two ago I posted a picture of some games me and my kids had a day of on Twitter, and figured I should post it here too! No video games on this day, it was board games, a card game, and even dominoes. We play these types of games often, but a couple of these were a first for us to play together.

I picked up this Skylanders board game brand new for $10. All the pieces were of course included, although they're not all shown here. It came in a nice metal carrying case as well. The kids and I have played it. It's not too complicated, but there is some strategy involved, and with the chance level quite high it can be hard to beat.
