We love finding those family games that hit that sweet spot between Simple to Learn and Strategically Challenging. It’s not always easy, but we’d heard some good things about Dragonwood in the past and after the announcement of its upcoming sequel, we knew it was time to give it a try. 

Playing board games has the wonderful benefit of not only being fun, but also intellectually stimulating. Among the many valuable attributes of games, through playing, kids and teens can learn valuable social skills, practice good sportsmanship, work on math skills, and increase their reading comprehension.

I believe many games can be used in unique ways to provide educational experiences for the players. But few games provide such a great system to foster educational and STEM focused lesson opportunities in a fun, non-traditional setting as Gridopolis. 

Do you have a kid that loves dinosaurs?

All of our kids are obsessed. Like, don’t you dare call that a Brontosaurus, it’s an Apatosaurus, obsessed. And as parents, we’re all about it.

So when we found this CardLine: Dinosaurs game from Bombyx studio with Asmodee we had to get it.
