As a homeschooling family we are always on the lookout for fun and educational shows to watch. So, when I heard that there was a new Carmen Sandiego animated series coming to Netflix back in January, I couldn't wait to tune in with my girls to watch it. Season 1 had 9 full-length animated episodes, and were a hit not just with my family, but with so many others. It was so popular that they renewed the series and season 2 kicked off earlier this month on October 1st. My girls had been counting down the days for the new season to start, as they couldn't wait to see where Carmen Sandiego would travel next.
While I grew up watching the PBS Carmen Sandiego series, I have to say I really like this new spin on Carmen Sandiego. This show is making learning about USA and worldwide locations and landmarks fun and exciting for kids (and adults) of all ages. And, now with season 2 airing on Netflix, fans of this hit animated series can add to the fun by picking up an exclusive Carmen Sandiego board game available now at Walmart stores and online at Walmart.com.
Here is more about this fun new board game, which was an instant hit with my family this evening, when we played it for the first time...
"The infamous lady in red needs your help! Travel to exotic locations as Carmen Sandiego on the hunt for the stolen loot. From Italy to Australia, to the coast of San Francisco, you will need to examine the cards form your fellow players to deduce the who, what, and where of this criminal affair!

Do you have what it takes to right this V.I.L.E. wrong?

Fans of the Carmen Sandiego show on Netflix, as well as Carmen Sandiego fans in general, will love this race around the world game, that will have you figuring out who stole the Loot, where it was stolen from and the V.I.L.E. Henchman who did it. Everything you need is included with the game, and the game instructions are easy to understand and will have you playing the game in a matter of minutes. The game is set up for 2-4 players to play and is geared towards kids ages 8+. My daughter is almost 8 and was able to grasp the game play instructions, and ended up winning 3 out of the 6 games we played tonight. Yes, you read that right...we played this game 6 times, and each time the game was different and oh so fun to play. There are four in our family so we each played the game, and had a blast examining the different location, villain and look cards to help solve the criminal affair.
I could go on and on about how much fun the new Pressman Carmen Sandiego Board Game, exclusive to Walmart is, but, instead, why don't you pick up this game and play it with your family. With the temperatures dropping and kids indoors after school and in the evenings, why not clear off the dining room table and have a family game night. We do game night every Friday or Saturday night, and it is something the whole family looks forward to, especially when we have new games to try out.
"Do you have what it takes to right this VILE wrong?" Pick up the new Carmen Sandiego Board Game and see who is super savvy like Carmen Sandiego in solving the criminal affair. Your whole family will be in for a real treat when you sit around the table to play this game. And, you will walk away talking about it and wanting to play it again soon. I know, as my girls went to bed this evening asking if we could play it again tomorrow...and, I couldn't agree with them more! :-)
