Last week we sat down and played the new Raccoon Tycoon Strategy Board Game by Glenn Drover from Forbidden Games. It’s for ages 8 and up, takes 2-5 players, and the average play time is 60-90 minutes. It’s a strategy game, so it does take longer to play.

Raccoon Tycoon Strategy Board Game

Use your new-found wealth to build powerful buildings in your town, or buy valuable railroads at auction. Own the best towens and railroads on your path to victory. There can be only one “top dog” in Astoria. Is it you?

Raccoon Tycoon Strategy Board

We sat down to play it last weekend. We had 3 adults and 1 (13 year old child) playing the game. What’s really nice about this game is that it’s unique. It’s like nothing else that we’ve played. It gets you thinking and you have to think and plan out each move that you make. It’s definitely a strategy game.

You’ll want to sit down and read the rules before you start. This took us a few minutes because we really wanted to understand the game before we got started. Once we all understood we got playing. We enjoy strategy games and this one was fun to play…unlike others that tend to be boring. Also, every time you sit down to play it…it will be a different experience. It says for ages 8 and up…but I feel it’s more for older children like ages 12 and up, unless an adult is going to assist an 8 year old. Just my opinion.

Where can you get this hot new game called Raccoon Tycoon? You can purchase it from Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and from other retailers across the nation.

Kids and adults love the classic arcade games from decades past. I can remember playing Pacman, Asteroids, Millipede, Space Invaders, Mrs. Pacman, Mario, etc. when I was in my late teens and early adult years. I admit, I still enjoy playing those classic arcade games.

Snakes are something that most people despise. Personally, I don’t mind them. I keep my distance and don’t harm them when I see them. They have their place in our beautiful world just like everything else. Do I love them? No, but I do respect

Fun Ways to Pass the Time When You’re Bored at HomeWhen you’re stuck at home and feeling the boredom blues, the suggestions in this article will help to transform your day. No matter where you live or what age you are, these activities are for everyone. Ready to have some fun? If so, here’s what’s on offer.

Search The Internet for Stuff You Are Interested In

Have you ever found yourself just scrolling online and then ended up in a loop of reading about the darker side of history, or reading about how a certain sports team was formed many centuries ago? We have all been there, and it sure is a great way to pass the time. Maybe you are fascinated by how a serial killer in California committed heinous crimes between 1984 and 1985, or perhaps you prefer the lighter-hearted approach of watching “how to” videos. Whatever it is you prefer, there is sure to be something for everyone on the billions of pages the internet has to offer.

Play Online Games

Currently, online gaming is in its prime. From the PlayStation 5 to the Nintendo Switch, there are so many different gaming platforms to choose from. You can even keep it classic with something like ms bubbles on your computer. Whichever device you go with, you’ll never be bored at home again. Best of all, many online games – such as Fortnite – are free to download, meaning you don’t have to worry about spending loads of money.

If you’re on a budget though, it’s recommended you try online mobile games first. These days, the gameplay and graphics on offer from mobile games are just as good as their console alternatives. You can also play classic games such as chess online as long as you have an internet connection.

Fun Ways to Pass the Time When You’re Bored at Home

Complete Jigsaw Puzzles

Sometimes, it’s nice to step back and take a break from screens in the modern age of technology. When you do this, there’s nothing better to replace screens with than some classic jigsaw puzzles. Aside from being fun, studies have shown that jigsaw puzzles can actually improve cognition and visual-spatial reasoning.

In other words, they’re great for your brain! In the world of jigsaws, there are different types to choose from. If you want a challenge, you should try 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.

Create Digital Photo Albums

Over the years, you’ve probably accumulated thousands of photos on your smartphone. However, have you organized them? If your photos are messy and all over the place, you should probably spend the day at home sorting them into digital photo albums. This way, you’ll be able to have fun reminiscing on old memories whilst also freeing up some much-needed memory space on your smartphone device, computer, or tablet.

Catch Up with Your Best Friend Over Video

If it’s been a while since you last spoke to your best friend, you should video call with them for a couple of hours (as long as they’re free, of course). To do this, you can use a variety of different apps, including:

* Facebook Messenger
* Zoom
* FaceTime
* WhatsApp
* Instagram

Also, don’t forget that some apps, like Facebook Messenger, now allow you to play games with friends while you video call with them. How cool is that?

Binge-Watch Netflix

Sometimes, the best way to pass the time on a lazy day is by binge-watching shows and movies on Netflix.
Right now, Netflix has a ton of exciting and brand-new movies and shows to choose from. If you don’t have a Netflix account, don’t worry; instead, you can try other streaming platforms, such as Disney+ and HBO Max. Alternatively, you can always browse YouTube, as there are lots of free indie movies to choose from.

Conclusion

The next time you’re having a boring day, all you need to do is handpick one of the suggestions above. Within a matter of minutes, you’ll be having the time of your life. Enjoy!
