One of the things that has disappointed me the most about LEGO Super Mario is that most of the sets don’t really display all that well. These are LEGO sets meant for playing with, not just displaying. Sure, the various characters do look great on the shelf, but in general, entire sets do not.

The Quest Kids – An Interview With an 8 Year Old
Over the past few weeks, we have been playing the outstanding kids game, The Quest Kids . This game is aimed at kids, but is fun for adults to play as well. We’ve played nearly half a dozen games of it so far, and I decided it would be unique to interview my son about the game, and see what he had to say. None of his thoughts are edited, these are purely his opinions! Let’s get into it!
Read MoreSuper Mario Movie Toys Review – 5” Figures & 7” Bowser
The toys that are being released alongside the Super Mario Bros. Movie are insane, and fans cannot get enough. For a long time, collecting the figures from Jakks was for two specific groups of people - the massive number of kids who wanted to play with the toys, and the few adults looking to collect.

If you’ve been following along to my Twitter account or read some of the articles online, I took a deep dive into Lord of the Rings: Journey in Middle Earth. This modular board game from Fantasy Flight Games mesmerized me instantly. When I say I took a deep dive, I mean a legitimate deep dive.

Read MoreScythe Board Game Review
There are a few really popular board games available on the market, and it feels unfair that Stonemaier Games has a few of these. Two incredibly popular and in high demand games are Wingspan and Scythe.

If you’ve been a long-time Harry Potter fan then Hogwarts Legacy is probably a video game you have been interested in. But can a game set so far before the movies and books actually be that good? After all, there won’t be any running around with the likes of Harry, Ron, or Hermione!

Good and easy to teach four player board games can be a bit tough to find, but I think perhaps I’ve found it! A few weeks ago, a copy of Wonder Woods was delivered to the office, and although it took us a bit longer than we wanted to get it to the table, once we did, we played it for hours. Is Wonder Woods any good? Let’s take a peak!
