Top Board Games from University Games

amomentwithfranca · 4 April 2017 · 105 Comments

When the girls are on holidays we are always wondering what can we do to entertain them in the moments when we don’t have anything planned. It is not always easy to keep them happy and sometimes they can get a bit hyper chasing each other around if we don’t offer them something to play with. Its also good to have things to do on hand when you are stuck in the house because its a rainy day. This is why board games are a perfect solution. You can also choose ones that are more suitable for little ones like Sienna.

University Games has published their Top Board Games for 2017 which are perfect for the Easter Holidays! University Games has something to suit all ages.

We have 4 cool games which you can choose to play with your family if you ended up winning. So we have Yeti in My Spaghetti, Google Eyes, Word Has It and 5 Second Rule Jr. See below a brief explanation of each game.

Yeti In My Spaghetti

Take turns to carefully pull away from the squiggly spaghetti sticks from the bowl, but be careful not to let the yeti that is sat balancing on top tumble into the bowl. As the intensity rises with each draw of spaghetti, the player who makes the yeti fall is the loser!

This game is suitable for children age 4 and plus. It can be played with 2 players or more. It has an RRP of £19.99. It is available from Amazon.

Googly Eyes

This is hilariously Funny. Googly Eyes is the hilarious drawing game involving crazy, googly glasses that challenge your vision and leave you googling for more. Simply put on the zany, vision-altering Googly Eye glasses and start to draw whilst the team tries to guess what you’re drawing and on a time limit!

This game is suitable for children age 7 and over. It has an RRP of £19.99. It is available from Amazon, Toys R Us and Argos.

Word Has it!

Challenge the wordsmiths in the family to this race at great speed. The tallest word is what you need! Simply create the tallest word under the time limit to win!

This game is suitable for children age 7 and over. It can be played with 2 players or up to 4. It has an RRP of £19.99. It is available from Amazon.

5 Second Rule Jr

The super popular, lightning fast game of 5 Second Rule is sure to unleash everyone’s competitive side! Players have to answer with the first three words that come to mind before the 5-second timer is up. This Jr. version makes it suitable for the smaller members of the family too.

This game is suitable for children age 5 and above. It has an RRP of £19.99. It is available from Argos, Amazon and Toys R Us.

See below the Amazon details for all 4 games:

    We haven’t bought any University Board games yet. Five second rule would be exciting but I think our favourite would be Word Has It.
