One of the things I miss most about my one childhood was the sheer number of family board games I used to play with my sisters. Between the mid-80s to the mid-90s, the world was family board game crazy, and the amount of super creative games were available in vast numbers. I even had the Disneyland board game! Indeed the world was a wonderful place.
These warm and fuzzy feelings return a billion fold with these wonderful Disney inspired games from Funko Games. Careful, considerate gameplay is mixed with low-stakes concepts to create games are easy to learn and that will keep you at the table for 30 minutes.
I already got my hands on a press sample of It’s a Small World and I can tell you first hand that this game is wonderful. The art and play are fantastic, plus you maneuver around the board in a really great way in your boats. It’s a 2-6 player game where you game have small teams if needed, but I feel the game is cozy and engaging with only two players. As long as integrity is maintained and everyone is honest about the matches they have (and we are, trust!) the game is quiet yet stimulating and a great time.
Mad Tea Party, I have my eye on you next!
