Albert – a truly unique game that captured our attention all weekend.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | No CommentsAlbert is like no other game we’ve seen. Apparently, they’ve created the graphics by cutting out over 1,000 cardboard figures, photographed them, then imported them into the game. It gives the game a very distinct look and feel. The feel in fact, goes beyond just […] -
Stack the States – fun way to learn the states and capitals
Posted on January 14, 2011 | 2 CommentsThis app surprised me on how much staying power and interest it has gotten from Sal, and how many capitals I need to relearn. The game is pretty straight forward, answer the question right and you get to let your state drop down to a […]
