If you are like me you are constantly on the lookout for fun new games that your whole family will enjoy. We love the classics but sometimes we want something new and fresh from our usual. With the new line of Hasbro card games we can have both! And talk about fun, we have had a blast playing three of the new 2010 games that came out this Spring and are highly anticipating the release of the fourth this Fall. Many nights you will find us involved in a card or board game, it is what we love to do. We don’t really have an official Family Game Night since we actually celebrate it several times a week. However, we did join in the National Family Game Night last year and we plan to join in on the 2010 Family Game night. The date for 2010 will be Wednesday, September 29 when once again, Hasbro will encourage families across the U.S. to turn off the television and take a break from busy schedules to laugh and bond over classic family board games such as MONOPOLY, SORRY! and THE GAME OF LIFE.
According to a recent Hasbro survey, 42% of Americans said that they’ve laughed so hard when playing a board game that they’ve snorted! And 25% of Americans have even celebrated a big win with a flashy victory dance. Have you had any laugh out loud moments when playing games? Feel free to post your favorite moments on their Facebook page.
Hasbro has introduced a new line of card games that take a spin on traditional game for the second year in a row. By transforming the board games of SORRY!, YAHTZEE and TRIVIAL PURSUIT into “snackable” play formats and by adding the classic French racecar card game of MILLE BORNES to the line, Hasbro card games provide lasting entertainment whether on the go or for family game night.
The 2010 line-up includes:
SORRY! REVENGE…Take turns to play number and action cards to change the play pile’s total. Get the pile to 21 without going bust to get one of your pawn cards home. But watch out – someone could play a SORRY! Card and steal your win. Portable, playable, speedy SORRY! Fun for the whole family. SORRY! REVENGE can accommodate 2-6 players and is rated for ages 6 and up.
YAHTZEE HANDS DOWN…Keep your wits about you and your eyes on the cards. Ollect dice cards to make classic combinations – 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, small straight, large straight, full house and YAHTZEE! Re-roll by discarding cards that you don’t need and taking a chance on new ones. But here’s the twist…Pit your hand against another player’s. Score high and win the Combo card points! YAHTZEE HANDS DOWN can accommodate 2-6 players and is rated for ages 8 and up.
MILLES BORNES…Be the first to traverse 1,000 miles of imaginary road complete with flat tires, accidents and empty gas tanks. Avoid road hazards, but be sure to use them on your fellow racers to win! MILLES BORNES can accommodate 2-6 players and is rated for ages 6 and up.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT STEAL (available FALL 2010)…collect all six different category wedge cards by answering trivia questions correctly. Wild cards and wedge stealing make this trivia game action-packed and fun for everyone! TRIVIAL PURSUIT STEAL can accommodate 1 or more players and is rated for Adults.

I think all kids love to play tag. Nerf by Hasbro has taken the game of tag to new levels with their Dart Rag line and you can now Feel the Fury when you grab a Nerf Dart Tag Fury Fire set for your kids.And did you know that there are Nerf Dart Tag Leagues? Did you know that there was a National Championship Game for Nerf Dart Tag? Yes, there really is! The winners received $25, 000. You can check out more about that HERE, right now I want to tell you more about the Dart Tag Fury Fire set, because I can tell you…it is so much fun! Remember, we live in the middle of nowhere, we have woods. Those woods give us a great place to play and we have had more fun with the Nerf Dart Tag. I need to work on my aiming skills a little. Tate says I couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. Anyway….
Don’t let the action stop-keep up your hail fire of awesome blasting excitement with 10-dart pump action blasters! Choose the green or orange blaster, put on your UVA and UVB ray-protecting VISION GEAR glasses and start blasting away to hit the target zones on your opponent’s vest and score points. Plus, with each blaster’s auto-advance barrel, there’s no pause in the game and no stopping the excitement!
2-Player set includes 2 FURYFIRE blasters, 20 DART TAG darts, 2 scoring vest, 2 sets of VISION GEAR eyewear and instructions for 6 official DART TAG games.
Fury Fire Dart Tag is rated for Ages 8 and up.
Play safe. Always know your play environment. If the conditions are severe, please exercise caution.
CAUTION: Do not look directly at the sun. This is not a protective device.
CAUTION — Do NOT at aim at eyes or face.
To Avoid Injury: Use only darts designed for this product. Do not modify darts or dart blasters. Always wear Vision Gear provided.
The set comes with everything needed for play.
The “guns” are bright green and orange…one color for each side. Each one holds 10 darts for continuous action.
And thank goodness refill packs are available because AHEM, someone has lost a few. We won’t mention any names or anything to protect anyone who may or may not be innocent.
Hasbro provided me with a sample product for review and testing purposes. I was in no other way compensated for this post. All opinions are those of my own and please remember that individual results may vary.

I loved PLAY-DOH as a child…and every child I know loves PLAY-DOH. I still love PLAY-DOH. My creations with it have become more elaborate than they used to be…my favorite being a deserted island, palm tree and lawn chair, surrounded by the “ocean”. When we drag the PLAY-DOH out it is always a competition to see who has the best creation and who has the weirdest. Tate usually gets the award for the weirdest, great shock I know. Now, PLAY-DOH has so many activity sets that make playing fun. The newest is the…
(Ages 3 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $9.99/Available: Spring 09)
Order up! This fun filled playset will have kids ‘cooking’ up an impressive variety of PLAY-DOH pasta and noodle creations. Simply place the bowl or plate atop the noodle factory, push down the arms, and a big portion of PLAY-DOH pasta appears. Add ‘yummy’ looking toppings like PLAY-DOH meatballs, tomatoes or shrimp using the selection of handy half-molds. Set includes four 3-ounce cans of colorful PLAY-DOH compound and a play mat. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on HasbroToyShop.com.
This is such a fun kit! We loved taking everyone’s “order” and making their spaghetti as they requested…even if it was a little outlandish. And it became more outlandish with every order. We had tons of fun though…as we always do with PLAY-DOH! I love how creative children can be when trying to think up the next thing to make. Check out the new Spaghetti Factory and have your child cook up a creative “dinner” for you tonight!
