Mommy Time Out: USAoploy Presents Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit!



     Trivial Pursuit just got Whoerific with the Doctor Who Edition!  But this is not for the faint of heart- oh no. Hipsters that are just jumping on the bandwagon beware- this has 50 years of Doctors and episodes of trivia behind it.  From William Hartnell to Paul McGann- my personal favorite. You will be wowed stumped and spiraled into a Doctor Who-a-thon after opening up and taking this game for a whirl.  Your trusty sonic screwdriver will not save you against the toughest of questions that this game has in store for you.
   Since this game is trivia based let me throw some wholedge your way.  The 23rd of November 1963 was when Doctor who was broad casted promptly at 5:15pm.  In it's origin it was created to be a educational family show that would fit between the ever popular football and evening entertainment programmes.  When The first Doctor wanted to leave the series after only three years, the idea of a regenerating doctor was born. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

   With the show reaching new heights since its resurrection in 2005 it is considered the longest running and most successful science fiction series in the world, and there is a butt load of trivia to support it!

Risk: Plants Vs. Zombies Special Edition Review!

 


     Risk is a strategic board game that was originally released in 1957 and has lead to generations of tabletop "geeks" ( I  say that proudly my friends, I say it proudly)  playing for hours to take over the world. The game has taken on different worlds, Middle Earth being one of my favorite examples-but the special edition release of the games latest and dare I say greatest of all worlds is Plants Vs Zombie Risk Game (cheers and screaming comes from the audience...oh wait, I am not a host on TV. Dang). Released by USAopoly, this is a great marriage of two of the games that I love most.  Although most Risk players will feel (almost) right at home with this game, it does give you some very different ways to play. For one thing it is made for two players, which is pretty neat. The double sided game board is awesome giving you three super fun ways to play.  The first side has a detailed map of the PVZ town of Brainsborough.  Here you have two ways to play. Lets discuss the first way first (which is usually the case).
