Say Anything Family by North Star Games-TOS Review
Our family was also given a wonderful opportunity to review a second game by North Star games called Say Anything Family. Say Anything Family is a family friendly game in which you have the opportunity to say what you think. We were laughing and having fun throughout the whole game, both of my children loved this one too and asked to play it over and over. Head over and buy this game at Target.com, and several online retailers including Amazon and find out what hilarious things your family will say. Say Anything Family Editions retails for $19.99.
The setup on this game was easy because everyone gets a small dry erase board and marker, one person reads the question from the deck of cards starting with "In my opinion..." and everyone writes down what they feel the answer should be. An example of one card is, "In my opinion, What song most reminds me of being a little kid?"
A couple of answers were
The wheels on the bus go round and round...
Jesus loves me this I know
Itsy bitsy spider
then the person reading the opinion card gets to pick the one he/she likes best. Everyone votes on what the card reader will pick by placing two tokens on that answer. Finally, the answer is announced.
We had some really hilarious answers and a lot of times they were the same because we all know each other so well!

Northstar games-Wits & Wagers Family-TOS review
Now, that my kids are 10 and 11 years old they are too old to play all of the little kid board games like Chutes and Ladders, Hi Ho Cherry-O, and Candyland so I've been searching for fun family board games. We've found a few like Apples to Apples but I've still been hunting for something that my "gamer" would like to play and I've found it, both of my kids LOVED Wits and Wagers Family by North Star Games. It's so much fun!!!
We set up our camper and went and had a game night in the camper, it was just what our family needed. We were able to unplug our son from his video games and get him involved in an exciting game and of course he won! This game is easy to set up and easy to understand the directions. The aim of the game is to answer a family friendly trivia question and then "wager" on your guess or if somebody has a better guess you can bet on their guess, it's up to you. Lot's of fun and laughs!
The game is available at Target, Borders, Amazon and most specialty toy stores. It's priced at $19.99 and is well worth the money.What do you get with Wits & Wagers Family?
In the box are the rulebook, a score sheet, a pack of question cards, 1 minimum answer board with the number "1" on it, 5 dry erase markers, 5 player answer boards in 5 different colors, 5 small meeples in the same colors, and 5 large meeples in the same colors. (For those who aren't aware a meeple is a little wooden piece that is shaped like a person.)
