Ready? Set. Sculpt!
Do you family game night in your house? We have game night every Saturday in our house. And, at least once a month we will have friends and family over for Sunday dinner and then will play board and card games after. This is something I used to with my family growing up, and loved this quality time with family. So, when I had a family of my own, I wanted to continue this tradition. And, this is one day we all put away our mobile devices (except to take occasional photos), so that we are giving everyone our undivided attention. The past month has been a crazy one in our house, so we haven't a chance to have our friends and family over due to an unexpected death in the family, snow storms which knocked down trees and took out power for a few days at a time, and then as I shared in recent posts, my 7 yr. old daughter, Savannah, was in the hospital and is now home resting with her 3rd bout of pneumonia in 5 months. We had to move our game night from the dining table to card tables near the couch so that my daughter could enjoy the fun. and, to change things up and make things more fun, I introduced the family to a fun new game from Educational Insights called ScupltaPalooza -- the squishy, squashy, sculpting party game, that is sure to be a hit for families who love friendly competition and love a good laugh.
My girls are no stranger to Playfoam, so they were all smiles when they saw it in the box. I explained what they would be doing with the Playfoam, and they couldn't wait for me to set the game up so that we could all play. I think the girls had a slight advantage over my husband and I because they play with Playfoam all the time, and have mastered their sculpting skills using this product. But, I have years of play-dough experience, so I told them to watch out. :-)
SculptaPalooza is for ages 10 to adult, and you need 4 or more players to play, as there is a lighting round where you pair up to compete. Have less than 4 players, you could play this game with 2-3 players -- you just need to make a few modifications to game play and the rules. But, if you can get a minimum of 4 players, it really is much for more when played in teams. This is one of those games that the more players you have the better, and that much more fun the game becomes.
Even though is recommends you be 10 years old, younger children can play to -- you just have to adjust the game play to suit their abilities. My girls are 6 and 7 and can read, so they were able to roll the dice and read the clue cards. They did have to ask a few times who people or things were, as they weren't familiar. For these instances, we told them what or who it was and then let them draw another card.

Setup of SculptaPalooza is quick and easy, as there aren't many pieces -- just a sculpting board, a leader board, dice, two decks of cards (a lightning round deck and a clue cards deck) and tokens used to represent your team.
You have to split up into teams of 2. If you play with younger kids, it is easier to have a parent and child on a team. We are really looking forward to having friends and family over soon so that there are more players to play against, and may even have adults compete against kids. :-)

The game ends when the first team earns 20 points. It does go by fast, and when you are done, you will find you will all want a rematch. :-) We had so much fun playing SculptaPalooza the other night during our family game night, and it really helped to perk up Savannah's spirits. She was smiling and giggling, and really getting in to the Playfoam sculpting. And, it is always nice to have the family all together without the television or phones near us, to really enjoy family time. We ended up playing the game three times, and have a rematch planned for this upcoming Saturday. And, the girls want to try playing kids against adults, too. That should be interesting...and a whole lot of fun.

The girls are counting down the days until Saturday so we can play SculptaPalooza, and I have to say that I am eagerly awaiting Saturday's arrival to, as this game was so much fun. I was never good at charades or the drawing clues game. But, there is something about the Playfoam that gets your imagination and creative juice flowing and you think you are a mast sculpture and can sculpt anything. Just be warned, the Playfoam can be a little challenging as it can droop and morph into other things you weren't trying to make. But, this is what makes the game challenging and fun, and brings the most laughs around the table. You just have to roll with it, think up a new game plan and try your best to sculpt something your teammate can guess correctly. Sounds like fun, right? It really is! So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to Educational Insights or Amazon and pick up SculptaPalooza today. Then, get ready for a memorable family game night.
