When I read the description of Winning Moves Risk Europe, I immediately knew that this would be a game that my son would be interested in. For a couple of years now, he has developed an interest in reading and learning about wars, especially those that occurred in Europe.

This enhanced game of conquest will excite gamers with hours of battle and strategizing to control Europe! Each player steps into the role of a medieval king and competes with a full army to expand their kingdom and take over Europe. Through shrewd tactical planning –and a little bit of lucky dice rolling- one player will conquer Europe and reign supreme! 

The gameboard is quite large and beautifully illustrated. In addition the game includes: 15 Crowns, 4 Armies with 35 Footmen, 12 Archers, 12 Cavalry and 4 Siege Weapons each, 8 Castles, 12 Red Dice, 32 Kings Order Cards, 8 City Bonus Tiles, 21 Gold Pieces, 40 Silver Pieces, 4 War Banners, First Player Marker, Reminder Cards, 8 Crown Cards, Card Box and illustrated instructions.

As you can see, we need a larger game table-ha! My husband and son watched a short YouTube tutorial in order to understand the rules better. It looks like we will be spending a LOT of time at home this winter break, so this will be a great game to have on hand.

Risk Europe is for 2-4 players and is recommended for ages 14+. (However, my son is 11, and he was still interested and able to understand the rules).

Happy December! As we hunker down at home, I am determined to embrace the coziness of the season. I foresee many cups of coffee (for the adults) and hot chocolate (for the kids and the adults) being consumed in the coming weeks.

The Zulay Kitchen Milk Boss Electric Milk Frother is a tool that elevates both the coffee and hot chocolate experience.

The Milk Boss easily whips up a little bit of low fat milk into a luscious foam.

I like to dollop the foamy milk on top of my coffee to make it taste similar to a latte.

The Milk Boss Electric Milk Frother is also nice to use with hot chocolate because it dissolves and mixes the hot chocolate mix really well. It is also fun to top the kids’ hot chocolate with foamy milk so they can pretend that they are drinking lattes too.

STEM Lab Kids offers hands-on toys that help kids to develop science, technology, engineering and math skills while having fun. Walter The Walking Robot is a new educational toy that would be great to give kids ages 10-13 this holiday season.

Everything you need to build Walter, including batteries and a mini screwdriver, comes inside the kit.

I would say that building Walter The Walking Robot is a challenging project. There is a booklet with illustrated instructions, and it teaches kids the importance of paying attention to details. If a step does not work quite right, the instructions direct the child to go back and reevaluate what may have gone wrong. Learning how to problem solve is a valuable life lesson that most other toys do not teach.

Once Walter is complete, there are also fun decals that can be used to personalize Walter’s appearance.

STEM Lab kits, including Walter The Walking Robot are available through their website or Amazon.

It is kind of funny to me that games and toys I grew up with are now considered “retro”. Winning Moves has two products that bring back childhood memories: Monopoly The 1980’s Edition and Rubik’s Christmas Tree.

Monopoly The 1980’s Edition

Monopoly was one of my favorite board games when I was a kid. This 1980’s edition is exactly how I remember it.

It was fun to show our kids how this game used to look in the “olden days”.

Monopoly The 1980’s Edition would make a great gift that will provide hours of entertainment. This game is recommended for ages 8 and up, and is designed for 2-8 players.

Rubik’s Christmas Tree

The Rubik’s Cube is another toy that has stood the test of time. I was never actually able to solve it, but the frustration was half the fun!

This Rubik’s Christmas Tree is a lot easier to solve–ha! It is actually more of a decorative ornament. I like its retro vibe.

The Rubik’s Christmas Tree would make the perfect stocking stuffer for any Rubik’s fan.

As we age, body aches and pains seem to become more frequent. Just the other day, I had a vigorous kitchen cleaning session. That night, I could definitely feel it in my sore arm muscles!

All Terrain Recovery Rub is a pain relieving cream that “temporarily relieves minor aches, pain of muscles and joints due to arthritis, simple backaches, sprains, strains and bruises.” This cream contains 5% Menthol. As soon as I applied it, I felt the familiar tingly/cooling sensation that Menthol products produce. The tension in my muscles seemed to melt away just minutes after application. In addition, the scent was not unpleasantly strong like other similar products.

I think that All Terrain Recovery Rub is a good product to have on hand because you never know when you will need it. In fact, I just gave some to my husband for his achy neck and shoulders caused by working at his computer all day. Whether you experience chronic or occasional pain, All Terrain Recovery Rub is worth looking into.

Where To Purchase All Terrain Products

All Terrain Recovery Rub is available for purchase through the All Terrain online store, or Amazon.
