For Christmas last year I got a Disney Pictopia board game and I was very excited to play. I love Trivia and I love Disney so this was perfect.
The game is great for family play. My husband, my seven year old son, and I all played together. There were questions spanning from older classics to newer animations, as well as a few about Walt Disney World theme parks. I personally have never been to a theme park, so those questions were harder for me! My husband kicked my butt with those ones.
The questions are on the back of the card and another player has to read them to you. The front of the card where you can see has four pictures, some area easy to see and some are zoomed in on facial features or silhouettes of characters. The questions on the back are related to the pictures and you might have to collaborate with other players on answers or you may have to answer on your own.
There is a board and you want to get to the end of the board by making bets on whether or not you think you will get the answer right. If you think by looking at the pictures you are likely to get it right, you will bet a higher number and then move further on the board. If you don't think you will get it right you bet a lower number. You can't bet the same number twice until all other betting chips have been played already.
There is also an app you can download on your smart device that has even more questions to use in the game - however after a certain amount of times using it, the app will prompt you to pay for more questions.
The game moves pretty fast and is a lot of fun. I am excited to play again with a larger group.
Current Video Game Obsession
I have been pretty obsessed with Animal Crossing New Leaf for the 3DS since I purchased it in May last year. I play almost every day while dinner is cooking. If you don't know what this game is about and you are in to real-time life simulation games, I suggest you look it up!
Anyone can play this game - my son understood what to do at age 4 with my DS version. You earn currency by working around town and you purchase items and expand your house and earn all sorts of goodies. You cannot technically "win" in this game, but I am still determined to somehow collect all the items and badges and fish and bugs and paintings and on and on so that I can say I won. :P
