One of the best things about reviewing products for companies is being able to host get-togethers with friends to test products out.
Recently I had the opportunity to put six games from Wonder Forge to the test. To do so, I held a game night with my friend Carol and her two children, Matt and Abby. We had so much fun putting the games through their paces.
We had the most laughs playing Disney Frozen Surprise Slides! Game, which was like a Frozen-themed version of Candy Land, but with the twist of having removable pieces on the board that can get switched around, altering the course.
We also enjoyed Pictopia-Family Trivia Game: Disney Edition, though some of the questions were easier for the adults. All things Disney were included in the questions from vintage movies and TV to current ones to theme park attractions. Definitely a good gift for a Disney nut.
We tried four other games, and if you’re interested, you can read my complete reviews over at The Disney Blog. But the night reminded me how much fun can be had with traditional board games. We all had a blast eating pizza and trying out each of the games.
Most importantly, we were connecting and talking with each other, instead of sitting in front of a screen. I highly suggest holding a board game night if you don’t already.
Thanks again to Wonder Forge for sending the games to review. As always, my opinions are my own.

Such a fun bunch of games! We have the Pictopia one and my entire family enjoyed playing it, especially since we’re huge Disney fans.
We’re huge fans of games and enjoy working with different brands to showcase the different options. There are so many awesome games that you can’t find on the shelves at your local store. Thanks for sharing some from Wonder Forge!

Sounds like a lot of fun! My son loves game nights too. And it’s so much fun, even for the adults, to play good games together as a family!
I have played a few of their games, one of which was Disney, and loved them. They come up with some really fun ideas.

I can’t wait till my boys are old enough for us to have family game night. Those games look so cool!
You’ll have a lot of fun when they are. =) Thanks for commenting Jillian!
A FROZEN themed version of Candy Land??? My three year old would freaaak out! For Christmas, she tells everyone that wants only “Elsa and Anna things”. lol.

We really enjoyed that one Monica! With the pop-out board pieces, it introduces strategy to the game. And, of course, it’s Frozen. LOL
I love game nights! Board games create so much opportunity for sharing, laughing and getting to know people — so much better than just sitting in front of a big screen.

Exactly Megan! =) We’re so used to staring at screens, we forget it’s fun to interact with each other.
My daughter might enjoy that Frozen!

Abby loved the Frozen stuff, too. If you have a Frozen fan these games are even more fun.
Sounds like a fun game night. We are big Star Wars fans, so I want that one!
It was fun. =) Of the Star Wars games, we had the most fun with the dice game, which was like Star Wars Yatzee.
