Hands Down

(UPDATE 2/26:Links are fixed!)

My three little guys enjoy competition.  Actually, truth be told, they LOVE to win. Games in our home are quite loud, filled with much laughter, and well, more then a few opportunities for sanctification!

Recently our good friends, Don and Trish, passed down some games their children had outgrown.  One particular game, Hands Down, has become a new family favorite.  

Hands Down is a simple card game, easy enough for my 6 year old to understand and yet competitive enough to intrigue my 10 year old. It’s perfect for a family night, or if you’re snowed in (like we’ve been a lot lately!) or looking for something to keep your kids busy.

If games could talk, this one might ask to be sent back to its original owners.  Hands Down arrived in pristine condition--all pieces assembled and box fully intact.  It had enjoyed a peaceful existence. But it has not fared so well in our home. The box is already damaged and I’ve had to tape some of the cards back together. 

But hey, that’s life at the Chesemores!
