Around the Table Games Giveaway

May 18, 2009

This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been contacted. Congrats Danetta!

Are you looking for a fun new game to play with your family or friends?  Around the Table Games are the perfect choice, with games for every age.  We were recently given the chance to check out the Family Talk and Teen Talk games.

The Family Talk game is perfect for any family.  There are 100 cards on a clip and each card has a question on it.  These cards would be perfect to take on vacation to keep the kids occupied in the car, to bring to a restaurant to keep everyone entertained while waiting for your meal to arrive or to just use for fun conversation at home.  I had a blast looking through the cards and asking my family members some of the questions.

We also got to check out the Teen Talk game, which is similar to the Family Talk game except that it was made by teens for teens.  I gave these cards to Brooke (17 years old) to check out.  She said she could see herself and her friends asking each other the questions and having some good laughs.  A couple of her favorite questions were:

  • If you were a crayon,what color would you be?
  • If you could have any superpower, what would you have?

Around the Table has a bunch of fun games for a variety of situations:

Camp Talk – Gather around and make new friends with…Camp Talk! Perfect gift for kids heading off to camp or for family camping trips! Camp Talk is the perfect way to get to know new camp friends on the bus to camp, in the bunk after lights-out or around the campfire while eating s’mores! It’s also a great way to learn fun things about your family! Just draw a card, read one of the 50 cool questions and let the fun begin! The handy flashlight and compass allow you to navigate your way back to your campsite or cabin for some fun, late night conversations! Ages 7+, MSRP $7.99. Here’s a small sample of the questions included in Camp Talk:

- What’s the funniest or most unusual nickname for a counselor you’ve heard?
- If you wrote your own campfire song, what would it be about?
- Name a place you feel you can really be yourself.

Camp Talk

Buddy Talk – Fun ways to get your friends talking! Buddy Talk is rapidly becoming the rage for both boy and girl BFFs. Find out a ton about your friends at the bus stop, during recess or at a sleepover. Ages 7+, MSRP $7.99. Here’s a small sample of the questions included in Buddy Talk:

- What’s your favorite thing about summer break?
- If you could have picked your own name, what would it be?
- What is the funniest trick your pet can do?

Buddy Talk

Teen Talk – A fun way for teens to really get to know their friends! This set of diverse questions is sure to spark some colorful conversations among teens! The cool carabiner clip attaches to backpacks, sports bags or overnight bags for fun conversations anytime! MSRP $7.99. Here’s a small sample of the questions included in Teen Talk:

- What is one thing you couldn’t live without?
- What influences you the most?
