Apparently she even needed a calculator(!)...

James Floyd Kelly commented on Garrett Alley's blog post 'Mini-Review: Forbidden Island'"Treasure maps!??? Would she be willing to let you post a few photos?

Garrett Alley commented on Garrett Alley's blog post 'Mini-Review: Forbidden Island'"Yes! Already done. I'm not sure if she finished that story, but she's moved on to drawing very detailed treasure maps."
James Floyd Kelly commented on Garrett Alley's blog post 'Mini-Review: Forbidden Island'"Garrett,
Give that girl a leather bound journal!
Seriously... great little story. The creativity shown there will pay off for her later in life, I imagine."
Garrett Alley commented on Garrett Alley's blog post 'Mini-Review: Forbidden Island'"Thanks, Kevin. And you're right about the tin -- room for several islands in there... We haven't filled up our "game shelf"/area yet, so this one gets a pass, for now.
The kids were playing by themselves again this past weekend.…"
Kevin commented on Garrett Alley's blog post 'Mini-Review: Forbidden Island'"Nice review. I got this last Christmas and it has been a hit in my house too.

"Perfect. Thanks, pal. Now that I pitched it to the family, both the kids pointed out that it's at our local comic book shop. Might make a trip tomorrow."
Garrett Alley commented on Garrett Alley's blog post 'Game Time with the Kids: Zombie Dice'"It's a stand alone game (just the dice and a cup...). There's an expansion I haven't tried (yet). Read what GeekDad had to say here: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/04/zombie-dice-2/
20 minutes is actually a long game, especially…"
"Glad I stumbled across this, Garrett. It looks like something the whole family can get into. Just a couple of questions. Is this a game that you end up buying a whole bunch of add-ons or is it complete as a stand alone? Second, the directions say…"
Garrett Alley posted a blog postGame Time with the Kids: Zombie Dice
I put Zombie Dice on my wish list and a kind relative gave it to me last Christmas. I managed to get a few of the many nephews and nieces to play that day, but most everyone's attention was hoovered up by the various DS and PSP games that were handed out like…See More

egg bands
These are brown eggs from our chickens, thus the muted dye. But I like it. The kids loved it and we used rubber bands as per something I read on Geekdad...
