Sunday Sample 16.12.13

Well OK not a great start i guess, it's Monday today not Sunday, at least here in Australia anyways.  It's still Sunday in the US so I've kinda got this right.  Right?

Enough of that, i'll try to be on time next week.

So Last weeks news was the arrival and subsequent enjoyment of Takenoko.  
This week isn't a lot different.  Being so close to Christmas board games are hard to find time for, particularly as I've managed to get a cold as well, seriously who has time to be sick at this time of year?  Any way, the news of this week was the ease with which my two girls took to Takenoko.
The only thing we had to adjust for them was that they used only the Panda cards, because let's be honest, mocing the panda IS the attraction of that game for a five year old girl.  Miss 4 enjoyed going through the motions, but fact was she didn't really 'get' what she was doing.  She understood that moving the panda meant he ate bamboo but that was the sum of it.  She also apparently mistook herself for being a panda, and the cards for being bamboo because she chewed on one of the cards.
Consequently, the game has been put away and not brought out again, i think i need some card sleeves.  In fact i'm fairly certain i want to sleeve the cards in any game that the kids are going to come int regular contact with.  

In other news miss 5's gaming gift arrives the other day, the two three dice expansions for Rory's story cubes that she's getting, the prehistoric and enchanted additions.  The extra rubber duckies for Miss 4's xmas game arrived too but we're still waiting on 'Duck Duck Go' to get here.  

This week i'm going to try to make time to work on 'Walk the Plank' with miss 5, and i want to see if i cang do a proper ADA write up for Takenoko.
