Game Review: The Rank Game


About THE RANK GAME:
THE RANK GAME is designed by Dana Brown, a former Walt Disney Imagineer, and Chip Brown, a former Disney Studios producer and Christian publisher, to engage the diverse backgrounds, interests, personalities and opinions of every player. By celebrating our individualism, THE RANK GAME actually brings people together, through rich conversation and competition. Created for groups of all sizes, THE RANK GAME leverages our own social behaviors—ranking the things or experiences in our lives. Learn more: https://storyastic.com/pages/about .

My Review:
I am thrilled to add The Rank Game to my game collection. I collect games because I enjoy playing games with my family and friends. The Rank Game is simple to learn and so much fun to play. In my opinion, the best thing about this game is that it helps enable people to know one another more and better. Players guess one another's rankings to get points and win the game. It can be played in four different ways: Icebreaker (2+ people), Spotlight (3+ people), Teams of Two (4+ people), and Two Teams (6+ people). The game includes three category packs in three different colors: Green--Everyday Life, Yellow--Adulting, and Blue--Leisure Time. There are 11 expansion packs available for purchase. This box also includes a wooden card stand and 2 score pads with 162 score sheets. As a bonus, you will also get a full round of Storyastic's new game, Brandish.

We first tried playing The Rank Game in teams of two at a family gathering. We had 4 teams of married couples (two younger and two older). We had a hoot! We were all quite competitive but we quickly felt humbled when we realized that we still had much to learn about our spouses :). We laughed a lot and we had to explain a lot why we ranked the way we ranked and/or why we guessed the way we guessed. It really helped us learn more about our spouses and encouraged communication. Surprisingly, the couple who won has been married for about 5 years and beat the two older couples who have been married for almost 30 years and over 30 years.

My husband, our youngest son, and I also tried playing the three person game ("spotlight"). It's also lots of fun. It's a great way to connect and learn more about your teen in a non-intrusive way. We laughed and had a blast. The Rank Game is currently one of my favorite games. I highly recommend it to all families and anyone who likes to build stronger relationships. It's an excellent game for youth groups, family reunions, parties, game nights, etc. The small box makes it very convenient for you to take on vacations and trips.

How would you rank these four desserts?

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study.  I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
