If they made Twinkies and Ding Dongs without the cream filling, then I might eat them, but then they wouldn't be Twinkies and Ding Dongs. --Cary Nope, can’t stand ‘em.

I was intrigued when I saw it on Boardgamegeek and have been looking for a good 2 player game. My friends and I have been playing Small World, but that is better suited for 3+ players.

]]> Comment on Guitar Zero - U R 2 out of Touch by Steve S http://www.gamingwithchildren.com/2009-06-23/guitar-zero-u-r-2-out-of-touch/comment-page-1/#comment-26432 Steve S Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:47:45 +0000 http://www.gamingwithchildren.com/?p=2669#comment-26432 Going back to an earlier point, shooting games do very little, if anything, to teach actual shooting skills. I suppose it is possible that they may help with a proper sight picture, but they don't do anything to simulate the weight and feel of a firearm, nor do they do anything in terms of recoil. The dexterity and muscle memory required for shooting is nothing like what is required for shooting. I suppose they may teach something of tactics, but even the most realistic games are trying to teach something fun, as opposed to real.

I just love this game.. AND I am 35! HA .. I finally figured out the fast vision and it is really easy.. when you rub her and get the hearts showing she is happy.. get the rattle fast and just move it back and forth front of her face till she catches on.. it may take a few times.. like after feeding or diaper or bath, which annoys me because IT seems like I have to give her a bath TOO Much! but other than that, it s so much fun!!!! I cant wait to get past all these stages to do it all over again.. :) E means everyone! OF ALL AGES!! IF you are thinking of getting baby girl/baby boy,, go for it! it takes skill, patience and wait till 13 months she blows kisses!!! I thought, áwweee' lol! O my word.. I just love this game..

It is a very good 2 player game. I enjoy four player games as well, just because I like interacting with more people, a little bit more waiting until my turn is no big deal. A large fraction of my games have been two player. Two experienced players can finish a game in under 20 minutes if they are quick at shuffling...
