Do you have family game night in your house?  I grew up always looking forward to the weekend.  Not only did it mean no school, but it also meant that my family with gather around the table after dinner Saturday night, to play board games.  My father worked all week, and this was the one night he would make a point not to take police details and spend it home playing games with my family.  :-)  I have to say board games have come a long way since I was a child.  Now there are games available that you can use your iPad or other mobile device to down apps and use alongside board games, making for a more interactive feel.  And, for popular app games like Angry Birds and Bejeweled, there are now board games to bring this app fun to your dining room table for game night. :-)

 

I was recently sent the ANGRY BIRDS^TM STAR WARS® MILLENNIUM FALCON^TM BOUNCE GAME, along with the Stormtrooper Pig ANGRY BIRDS^TM STAR WARS® FOAM FLYER to review, thanks to the folks at Hasbro, and have to say that our Saturday night game night was so much fun. :-)  While the girls were too young to play the ANGRY BIRDS^TM STAR WARS® MILLENNIUM FALCON^TM BOUNCE GAME with us, they had a blast throwing around the foam flyer and seeing who could squeeze it the hardest (until it would pop out of their hands) :-)  As for the board game, both my husband and I were excited to play, as we love Star Wars.  Who doesn't? Savannah did help her Daddy put together the Millennium Falcon, and did try her luck at bouncing the Angry Birds into the cockpit, but was more excited about the foam flyer. 

My husband and I are very competitive when it comes to games, and we ended up playing long after we put the girls to bed, to try to one up another.  While the concept of the games sounds easy,  -- land the heroes in the cockpit, while knocking the pigs into space -- it really is challenging.  Usually we like to sit while playing games, but we found ourselves standing up, to give us a better aim at the cockpit.  By the time we finally agreed to end the night with a tie, we agreed that we would be playing this game again come next weekend, when my nephew will be here. This game is geared towards players ages 8+, and we know our 10 year old nephew will love this game, just as much as we do, as he is also a fan of Angry Birds and Star Wars.

Are you looking for a fun, new game to add to your family's game night?  Then, why not pick up the ANGRY BIRDS^TM STAR WARS® MILLENNIUM FALCON^TM BOUNCE GAME or
