Think Again!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Think Again!

I recently received a party game to review called Think Again! It a game for 3-10 players, and has an age limit of 10 and up.  

Think Again! allows you to test your skills giving the right....or wrong answers! That's right! I said wrong! There is a total of 50 cards, which amounts to 300 questions, on the back of each card is an indication of right or wrong. If it has wrong on the back you need to answer all the questions wrong. In example: What color is cow's milk? If you say white you are wrong, but if you say any color other than that you are right.

How you play: Each turn a reader asks a question from a card, hiding the back, at the same time the reader shows the back of the card to all of the players. First to answer with the right, or right wrong answer gets a point! If you get the answer wrong..or the wrong answer right you lose a point! 

My brothers, husband, and I all had fun, and enjoyed it. Can't wait to play it again at the next family gathering!

Followers (companions) in Fallout: New vegas.

Did you know that there are eight individuals across the Mojave Wasteland? When you find a follower, and ask them to join you, you get a unique perk. Each Character gives you something different.

I've been gone for awhile....

Holy! I have been gone for quite some time! Let me tell you what has been going on in my life. I have been busy planning a 1100 mile move back home for my children and I, going to prenatal appointments, teaching my daughter preschool lessons. Other than that not much has been going on. Oh, I beat New Vegas, and it's DLCs. Played some Halo 3, A Bard's Tale, beat Dead Island, and Dead Island Rip tide.




I'm currently watching Comic Book Men, I love it. Need a nerdy laugh? You need to check out The Guild, and Dr. Horrible!  My husband has started to play Titanfall, he loves it so far. I still need to play it. Possibly one night when he is at work, and the kids are asleep....That would be tonight! Haha

I am really looking forward to Elder Scrolls Online coming out on pc April 4th, and on the next gen consoles in June. I will be delivering in June, and the hubs is keeping the one out here so, I have to wait till he comes back home end of December, but then December 31st Shadows of Mordor comes out.

What have you all been up too? Tell me in my comments or on my Facebook page!
