If you are looking for a game that is fun for the whole family, I found one. It’s called Drop It, by Thames & Kosmos.
The concept is simple–take turns dropping in shapes, but make sure like colors and shapes are not touching. Oh, and make sure it is a color or shape that is allowed in the corresponding zone. Earn points based on where the shape lands.
There are variations in play that make it challenging and keep it interesting. I can see how it develops spatial and strategic thinking.
A group of us parents tried it out while waiting for our food at k’s post-basketball game dinner.
Without me even noticing, the brothers grabbed the game they finished eating and started playing by themselves.
It was nice to see them playing the game together instead of being on their electronics.
Recommended for ages 8 and up, 2-4 players or 2 teams.
