Lying is never a good thing... unless it makes for good reading

by Tyler Vitt - Monday, May 13, 2013 at 12:35pm

The funniest mom on Twitter, Kelly Oxford, plunges you headlong into her life in this hilarious memoir, Everything Is Perfect When You're a Liar. With her trademark blend of biting wit and self-deprecation shining through on every page, this side-splitting book of essays will make you laugh, cry, and then laugh some more. The straight-talking and riotously funny blogger opens up about her childhood, motherhood and life as she sees it from the skewed perspective that has made her the toast of the social media world.

It's the weekend - time for some fun

by Tyler Vitt - Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 8:02pm

The weekend is well upon us, so it's time to let loose and enjoy yourself.

Our suggestion? Sit down with a good game, some good friends, and have some good ol' fashioned fun.

Here are a few highlights of the games that we carry:

Eternas
--Plays like the classic game Four in a Row, only in three dimensions! Quick and easy to learn, though it'll take a lot of strategy to pull off a win.
--2 players, suggested ages 6 and up.

What? - The Party Game
--The opposite of Truth and the extreme of Dare.
--Played in category rounds with every player writing an answer to the category question. The Questioner will then collect all the answers and read them out loud while players take turns guessing who-said-what! No matter how you play it, everyone will laugh hilariously at the outrageous, dead honest lies that will leave them saying, "Whaaaaat?"
--5 or more players, ages 14 and up.

7 Wonders
--Our featured game for the months of May and June.
--Lead one of the seven great cities of the Ancient world. Exploit the natural resources of your lands, take part in the eternal march of progress, develop your commercial relationships and assert your military might.
--2 to 7 players, ages 13 and up.
--A typical game takes about 30 minutes.
