My kids love playing games and some of their most favorites have been from Ravensburger. We are always excited to try out new ones so were extremely excited to received some games from Ravensburger for review and to include in our Holiday Gift Guide this year. These games included a Despicable Me Eye Found It! Hidden Picture Game, The Quest for El Dorado and a Harry Potter Edition Pictopia: The Ultimate Picture-Trivia Family Game! I have to say I might have been more excited than my kids about the Harry Potter Edition Pictopia! It is for ages 7 and up and for 2 to 6 players and includes 200 cards, 6 answer dials, 30 prophecy coins, a game board, 6 game pieces, a die and instructions. Playing is simple. It is a trivia game that tests your knowledge on the famous movie series Harry Potter. You bet your points every time you answer a question. If you win, you earn more points and if you lose, you lose them. You work as a team and individually and each game lasts about a half hour or so. It is fun and really tests your smarts! I am a huge Harry Potter fan so this game is one of my personal favorites. The next game is the Despicable Me Eye Found It! Hidden Picture Game. This game is for ages 4 and up and for 1 to 6 players. It comes with a game board, 6 playing pieces, 6 bases for your playing pieces, a spinner, 12 minion goggle markers, 30 search cards, a timer and instructions. This one is fun for the whole family and has quickly become a favorite with my girls! They love Despicable me and even if they weren’t fans, the game itself is fun enough that it doesn’t even matter what movie it features. The game board expands to 6 feet and there are over 1000 hidden things to look for, making this a game that keeps your kids entertained for hours. You cruise through the game board which features different places in the movies and find the objects you are directed and make it to the park before it closes to win! You can work individually, as a team or competitively. It is fun and entertaining and my kids love it! The last one is The Quest for El Dorado. This one is for ages 10 and up and for 2 to 4 players. It comes with 7 terrain tiles, 2 terrain strips, 1 ending tile, 6 blockades, 8 playing pieces, 4 expedition boards, 1 starting player hat, 1 market board, 86 expedition cards, 36 cave tokens and instructions. I tried to play this with my girls but they are only 5 and 7 so did lose interest so id say this game is true to ages 10 and up. I did host a game night with some friends and my room mates and it took a bit to get the hang of this game because there is so much too it but it is super fun once you all know what you are doing and what the object is. The whole object of the game is to build and improve your deck of cards. You have to use strategy and a good plan to navigate with your cards through the jungles to find the golden city of El Dorado. It is super fun and challenging which I love. I also love that each game is different! This game is a good challenging game and it took us about 50 minutes per game. These are all super fun games from Ravensburger and I already know I plan on purchasing them for some of my family members for Christmas this year! We come from a long line of board game lovers and these will be perfect gifts! If you are looking for some new fun and entertaining games for your loved ones this holiday season then I highly recommend Ravensburger for all your needs!
