This giveaway is part of our Three Gs For The Holidays event. Visit the announcement post to get involved in other fun giveaways, get shopping ideas from our Gift Guide, and learn how you can help children in need this holiday season!

Along with celebrating the holidays comes celebrating traditions we have long held in my family. Each year, we come together for dinner on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Afterwards, we love to break out the board and card games for some family fun! Our two all-time favorites are UpWords and Uno. We play these same two games every year. There are pieces missing from the UpWords set and cards are bent and missing from the Uno deck, but it doesn’t stop us from enjoying them every single year!

Sheena and I also try to enjoy a game together at least once a week. Last week, we played a game of Scrabble with their latest release set, the Diamond Anniversary Edition. There are quite a few things that I love about the Diamond Anniversary Edition. The game board has raised grid lines, so the letters don’t escape from their spots. The board also has wheels on the bottom which makes it easier to rotate for each person’s turn. And, the board has built-in trays to store all of the pieces, including the letter racks. The board can then be folded in half and stored away, without the need of throwing everything in a box.

I really wish we had a Scrabble Diamond Anniversary Edition to give away, but unfortunately we don’t. But we do have three other tabletop games to give away that are equally as awesome as Scrabble!

First up is Clue, the classic mystery board game which features new rooms and new weapons in the newest release set! Next, we have Operation, the highly addictive skill game in which you operate on Sam, the guy who somehow manages to get the weirdest items, including a cell phone, a toilet, and live animals, stuck inside his body! And finally, we have KenKen, the problem-solving puzzlebook containing 100 fun puzzles that pick your brain with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division! One winner will win ALL THREE of these fun tabletop games!

My Mother used to play a game we called Dots. It is a Pencil and paper game. It works by making a 20 X 20 square grid of Dots on a paper. (make copies) Then you take turns making one connection between dots (either vertical or horizontal). If your One connection makes a complete square, you put your initial in the square and go again. One with most initials when grid is full is the Winner. JeansandTs@hotmail.com

.... 53 Rhonda Martin December 4, 2008 at 6:35 pm

The kids love the game “Trouble” . We actually have worn out 2 Trouble games and had to buy a third. Luckily they aren’t to expensive. They also enjoy Clue and Sorry but the boards have seen better days. We used all the clue sheets over and over until we couldn’t use them any longer and I photocopied an original and cut them up and the board is worn real bad. The Sorry board is still holding up but the poor cards are a shambles lol It really is time for some new board games for sure. Thanks for sharing.
