Family Game Night Board Game Value Bundle @ Wal-Mart – $15 or less

Family Game Night by HasbroWalmart offers the family game night board game value bundle for $15.  Please remember that you can save an additional 3% off WalMart online purchases every day with Mr. Rebates.

This kit includes:

  • Clue
  • Sorry
  • Monopoly Deal
  • Scrabble Slam
  • 2011 calendar
  • invitations
  • stickers
  • You also get the choice of U-Build Connect 4, Monopoly, CUPONK! 3, or CUPONK! 2.

That's a lot for $15 (or LESS) with Mr. Rebates.  Be sure to go through Mr. Rebates first to save your 3%, and then go to Family Board Game Night at WalMart to get the deal!

I'm not a huge fan of featuring deals on mainstream games here, however it can also be good to have some of these types of games around, as they are easy for kids to learn - and a love of board games in youth may translate into a love of some good strategy games (think Twilight Struggle, Puerto Rico, etc) in the teenage and adult years.

These games also have some educational value as they deal with some real-world concepts:

Sorry - reacting to unexpected failure or disaster (SORRY!)

Monopoly - real estate, investing

Scrabble - build vocabulary, spelling and word skills

Connect 4 - learn to plan ahead and think strategically

Sure, none of these games are as deep as Die Macher, but they will provide a good time and good learning for the younger generation.  Oh, and did I mention they are cheap too!

Spending time with children is an incredible thing, and these educational, yet extremely fun games and puzzles are a fantastic way to spend that time - learning and laughing.

ThinkFun was founded in 1985 by husband and wife team Bill Ritchie and Andrea Barthello.  Bill was a born puzzler, so defining his dream company was no challenge, but the 80's were a tough time for toy companies. Retailers were moving away from games, and the Rubik's Cube, which had broken through in the mass market, was losing popularity.
