Gearing Up For Summer #34: Travel-Friendly Family Card Games from Hasbro Review & Giveaway

With school out for the summer, many of us keep busy with family outings and want to find activities we can do with our kids no matter where we're at. Whether you're at home, or on the go, it's fun to find new engaging activities and games you can do with your kids. I know I'm always on the lookout for new things and am happy to know Hasbro Games is always there to help!

Hasbro is a company trusted by families for generations. They are known for some of the most well known toys and games available. What I think is so great about them, is that they continue to keep the traditional products we grew up with, but still find ways to update them and keep us all wanting more!

Whether you're looking for classic backyard favorites like Gator Golf and Twister or new card games...Hasbro Games has it all! You may remember my review last winter of Hasbro Games. One of our favorites is their card games. They're easy to take with us and provide a new spin on games we've been playing for years. That's why I was excited to learn that they've come out with more card games and that we were going to have the chance to review them!

Hasbro sent us their three newest card games: Mille Bornes, Sorry! Revenge, and Yahtzee Hands Down!


Mille Bornes - Put your foot down… it’s time to play MILLE BORNES! Play distance cards and speed towards the finish line, or put the brakes on your opponent with nasty hazards! Drive carefully, because they’ll be playing hazards on you too. Out of gas? Play a Gasoline card. Got in an accident? Play your Repairs card. Be the first player to travel 1000 miles and win!
Includes 115 cards, instructions and scoresheet.

For 2, 3, 4 or 6 players.

Ages 8 and up.

Sorry Revenge - Win the race to flip all of your pawn cards home and sweet revenge is yours! 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!

Includes 109 cards, 1 reminder card and instructions. For 2 to 4 players.

Ages 6 and up.

Yahtzee Hands Down- Keep your wits about you and your eye on the cards! Collect 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 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. It’s great YAHTZEE fun in a card game!

Includes 12 combo cards, 12 chance cards, 84 dice cards, 1 starter card, 1 reminder card, 1 combo sheet and instructions.

For 2 to 6 players.

Ages 8 and up.

I was super excited when the games arrived. Our family enjoys playing card games, and I knew these would offer a new layer of excitement to the traditional games we've played in the past! I was right!! They are fast-paced and a lot of fun! I'd have to say our favorite is Sorry! Revenge, but they are all great! With an age recommendations of 6 or older on all of them, they are still a little advanced for Kaelyn. I know she'll really enjoy playing them too, when she's a bit older.

What I love about the card games from Hasbro is that they are fun, fast games that can be taken with us wherever we go. Whether it's the beach, the park, or a family game night...they're something families can do together all summer long!

Once again, Hasbro Games did not disappoint. These new card games are loads of fun and I know will bring hours of entertainment in the months and years to come! I would highly recommend them to others who enjoy laughing, playing games, and finding engaging activities to do with your kids and family. There is a little of everything that will appeal to both kids and adults.
