We are huge game fans in our house! We love to play games with each other, with family and with friends! We host game nights often at our house and we always like to have a new one to try out on those nights!

So when I am itching for a new game to play or a classic game we don't have, I turn to Winning Moves USA. They always have a great selection of classic and new games like Rummy Tiles, Rubik's Tower, Pente Deluxe, Clue Suspect Card Game, Monopoly Advance to Boardwalk, and Monopoly Card Game.

This time around we chose Pictureka and Classic Rummy Tiles to try out on game night!

I gave Pictureka to my daughter for her recent birthday and it has been a hit for our family game nights ever since!

Perfect for families, friends and parties, Pictureka! card game is great fun for all ages. There are 4 different ways to play and they vary in pace from calm to high-energy! It is a fun game with silly pictures that makes our family laugh every time!

Classic Rummy Tiles is a game we got into a few months ago and my husband and I love to play it together or with others! We are so excited to have a second set to bring to the cabin and play! If you love the card game Rummy, you will love Rummy Tiles!

Stadium style racks that “step up” give each player a good view of their personal set of tiles. The easy-to-read tiles, with large, bold-printed numbers in Black, Blue, Green and Red, add to your enjoyment! Make sets or runs with your tiles and go out first for the win!

Invite The Dude And Grownup Game Night Will Never, Ever Be The Same! #Giveaway @DudeIsGreatUSA

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Do you love game nights like we do here at our house?? We love hosting game nights and each one has it's own funny and memorable moments we will remember forever! But sometimes we get tired of the same old games so we are always on the lookout for fun, new games that will have us laughing for hours!

This year's favorite so far? Who’s The Dude?!

Who's The Dude? Is The Hilarious Charades Game Where Every Round Includes The Inflatable Dude Doll!

The life of your next party won’t drink your beer, fart or use your bathroom. Perfect! And he’s in good-enough shape (there’s a little pot belly) to bend or move his limbs any which way. That’s a key factor, as you must include “him” in every round of a hilarious game called Who’s The Dude? ($24.99). Did we mention he’s a blowup doll? Don’t worry, the content is pretty G-rated.

Wearing a green tank top and sporting dark shades, the Dude stands 5 feet at full (inflated) height. The boxed-game ground rules mimic the iconic game of charades. Yes, it’s wacky, maybe even a bit bawdy but that’s what grownup game night is all about! You know your friends better than anyone (ahem) so invite the Dude and set your iPhone to countdown 30 minutes.

We recently played this game at our cabin with some our family members and, I will be honest, everyone was a little skeptical at first. But the minute we started everyone was laughing so hard, it was hard to talk or even play!

Here's how to play: 

Pick a charade card. With a light-as-air body, the Dude can pretty much perform any body movement conceived by each player! Pay attention if you can stop laughing. Can you guess what your friend and the Dude are doing in the wordless scene?

Each charade card instructs players to recreate a scene from a movie, act out a sport or a profession, and many other zany activities. The other players try to guess, within the time limit, what the heck you and the Dude are doing! Hilarity will ensue. Pass the Dude to the next player and begin again. The player that has the most points after 4 rounds (if you ever make it that far!) wins the game.

We seriously loved this game and played for hours. We even stopped keeping score because we just wanted to keep playing for fun! Check out the funny video of my sister really getting into it! 😂

If you want a hilarious game that will keep you laughing and spice up your game night, then grab Who's The Dude? at your local Target!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

We LOVE games in our house! From our kids to us adults, we love to play GAMES! We try to have family game night at least once a week and it is one of our favorite days of the week!

Even more, we LOVE to play NEW games and learn new games so both the kids and us parents were so excited to receive and try out three new games from Winning Moves Games!

Check them out below:

FISH FISH SQUISH!™

Mold your own school of dough-fish and get ready to "squish" your opponents' fish! Every three-in-a-row with the cards earns you a squish. But, stay on your fins! Everyone else is trying to squish your fish too!

This game was fun because every one gets to form fish and then squish their neighbors! The game starts out a little slow but soon picks up as more cards are turned over!

My kids really enjoyed learning this new game and it is now a favorite in our house!

CLASSIC TWISTER®

People have been getting twisted and tangled playing Twister since the 1960's! You'll fall over with laughter as you get "tied up in knots!"

This has been a favorite with my kids to play at grandma's house but they were SO EXCITED to own it themselves now and play it anytime they want! This is so fun to play when all the cousins come over! It always ends in laughter and twisted bodies! :)

SCATTERGORIES® CATEGORIES

If you love The Game of SCATTERGORIES, then SCATTERGORIES CATEGORIES is the next game you will want to play! It's a great twist on your favorite. Keep the fun coming with this fast-thinking categories game.

SCATTERGORIES is our absolute FAVORITE game to play with our friends when they come over! So when I saw a new twist on it, SCATTERGORIES CATEGORIES, I knew our friends would love this one just as much!

You get a word which becomes the theme of the words you build off of the base word! It is fun and challenging and we LOVE it!

New Winning Moves Games & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Games are a big deal in our house! We try to have a family game night at least once a week and the kids enjoying playing games with each other throughout the day too!

So when we are looking for more games to play, we look to Winning Moves! They are a leading maker of board games, card games, and puzzles. Since their first year of operation in 1995, they have forged a close relationship with one of the world's largest game companies, Hasbro, Inc., owner of Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley. As a result, many long-lived Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games are now made exclusively by Winning Moves!

They have a couple new 2014 games that they just officially released and they have created hours of fun in our house lately!

TOURING

The first new card game is TOURING and it was first released way back in 1906 and is the original car racing card game. Players race across the States trying to rack up 400 miles.

Be first to finish the tour and you win! But look out, your opponents are ready to wreck your journey with penalty cards, like flat tire and more!

And now for something completely different…they have a new line of waterproof, washable, floating card games called Splash Cards. They can be played in the bathtub, in the pool, at the beach, in the hot-tub, and even on dry surfaces.

The  two games my kids are loving at bath time are SPLASHIMALS™ and SPLASH PALS™, which are geared for kids ages 2 and up.

SPLASH PALS™

Revolutionary cards that are waterproof, lightweight, washable and they float! Battle it out with an astronaut-Sump Wrestler with legs as delicate as a Ballerina or fight back with a Caveman-Mermaid with the brain of a Robot. Kids of all ages will enjoy making their own splash pals!

SPLASHIMALS™

Revolutionary cards that are waterproof, lightweight, washable and they float! Splashimals help make bath-time a fun and educational experience!

My kids love finding the matches and mixing them up too! They stick easily on the walls at bath time and easily come off when bath time is over! I love that!

Winning Moves Games & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One of the things we were most excited about when we moved back to where our family and friends live was having GAME NIGHTS!!! We love playing games, we love getting together with friends and there is nothing better than combining both!

But when we moved and I unpacked all our games into the game closet, I realized we don't have as many games as I would like for having friends over and for having game nights!

So when Winning Moves contacted me about receiving and reviewing their games, I was so excited!

Winning Moves is a leading maker of classic card and board games, world renown puzzles, action games and popular adult party games. Since their first year of operation in 1995, they have forged a close relationship with the world's largest game company, Hasbro, Inc., owner of Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games. As a result, many long-lived Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games are now made exclusively by Winning Moves Games!

They make the Rubik's Cube, Pass The Pigs, Mega Monopoly, Super Scrabble, Risk 1959, No Stress Chess, Mille Bornes, Pit and many more great games.

Check out these AWESOME games that I received from Winning Moves:

Pass The Pigs was one of my favorite games when I was growing up so when I saw the Pass The Pigs Pig Party Edition from Winning Moves, I was so excited to share it with my children and make lasting memories like I made!

Classic Sorry®

The wonderful game of Sorry delighted players everywhere when introduced many decades ago.

Not only was the game fun to play time and again, it was also easy to learn and featured beautiful playing equipment. Now you can relive this wonderful experience.

I was also excited to see Sorry from Winning Moves because it was another favorite when growing up! I know my son will LOVE this game and it will soon become a household favorite!

And MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL: SCRABBLE! And Tile Lock Super Scrabble® features the bigger, better game play of Super Scrabble with the innovative Tile Lock design to hold your tiles firmly on the gameboard. Now you can rotate the board and angle it to get a better view!
