Christmas can be a very stressful time, leading to a whole lack of fun, as we try to make sure that everything is perfect! Yet, it is sometimes the simplest things that can bring out the best of the season! Something the wonders at Big Potato Games know all about with their fun new board game that is super easy but incredibly entertaining!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

We all know that a board game is a must when it comes to this time of year! Every household invests or brings out their favourite one on Christmas Day. Yet, in the midst of all the stress of the season, we forget that they can actually be a great way to bring out the fun at any festive event, not just the main one. 

As we try to make sure that all the presents are wrapped, the house is decorated and the diary is full, we don’t make enough time during November and December to just breath and do something to help us both mentally and socially. Board games are really a fantastic source for doing this and the creators at Big Potato Games know it. 

Always on top of the gaming scene, the brand is continuously coming up with pieces that we can all sit down and get wrapped up in as a family. Yet, this year, they have come up with a game that makes you stop, take a second and have fun, whilst also being super competitive. 

Titled, The Fridge Game, the latest creation from the brand is one of the easiest to complete but also one of the most entertaining. Played out a bit like a crossword, the aim of the game is to colour in the most squares on the board by coming up with words from the letters of the previous one. 

Once a word has been created, the amount of letters contribute to the amount of squares that can be coloured in. The person with the most after seven rounds wins. Super simply but a real thinking game when you get started. 

Having kindly been sent a sample of it to give a go, I popped the magnetic whiteboard and pens onto our freezer, before placing the first word on the board. Leaving it for my mum to have a go at next, she soon surprised me with her answer. Over the course of a number of days, we continuously caught each other out until a winner was found. 

Distracting us from all the mayhem going on around us, we found ourselves laughing a lot at what we had come up with. It was a real family affair that only needed two players to complete it. Yet, it would also be great for a family to be given at Christmas, as I could see it really encouraging little ones with their spelling and words too. 

The Fridge Game may not be the board game you would expect to have out at Christmas but it is a whole lot of fun, whilst also being educational and brain training too. It really is the gift that keeps on giving and since we started playing it we haven’t stopped. 

If you are looking for something to help you find a few minutes to breathe this time of year or to simply gift to your loved ones, this is the game to give! Big Potato Games are real heroes on the board game scene and they always make magic happen when they come up with a game to play, which this one truly incorporates. Once you or your loved ones start playing it, you honestly won’t be able to stop! It is truly time to let the festive games begin!
