On New Year I gave my daughter the children’s board game “Our Family.” The gift looked bright and catchy: a picturesque picture depicting a young family was printed on the box. It seems to me that it was this factor that determined the future of the game. I didn’t notice how I rushed to the checkout, full of enthusiasm.
I don’t think it’s worth describing the joy that appeared in my daughter’s eyes when a glossy box containing the unknown sparkled in front of her. The essence of the game was caught by us immediately. This was facilitated by the insert included in the kit, which described the rules in detail and in an accessible way. I would like to note the fact that in the game there is a “correspondence” acquaintance of the child with all the delights adult life, consisting of various incomes, expenses, divorces (of course, without age-inappropriate details). Personally, while playing, my child also learned what taxes are, how a loan is repaid, why you have to pay rent, and how dividends are paid. It should be noted that even I, being an adult and a conscious person, spent time playing the game, not without some pleasure. We were very pleased with the set of cards in the form of money of various denominations; photographs of apartments that the player has the right to purchase for a certain amount; cars, the purchase of which is determined by taste. The game can become in a great way improvements mathematical abilities Your child. If you look at the growth in your daughter’s verbal counting speed, you will notice that the princess is now “friendly” with money, and how! My child enjoys the large number of cards included in the set, which are made of thick cardboard coated with bright paint. The card does not lose good view for a long time, and a special division into blocks avoids mixing cards with each other, which reduces time for unnecessary searches!
I cannot help but note one more, in my opinion, important factor. The game allows the child to face the problem of choosing between money and the good that can be purchased with this money. That is, my daughter now clearly knows that when she receives one thing, she loses another and excludes the possibility of acquiring a third. Now I look at my child and think that she will grow up to be a good economist!
But impressions of any game are impossible without a drop of ointment. My daughter and I encountered one minor problem. The “Rules” insert is huge! All the time I wanted to rearrange it, put it away, but the initial ignorance of the essence of the game constantly forced me to take out this sheet and spend a lot of time searching for the necessary information. Our attempts to install the liner against the wall were also unsuccessful. It is made of soft paper, which constantly bends and does not allow the sheet to “stand”.
Thus, my daughter and I had a good impression of the game. Since the game was purchased on New Year’s Day, the child and I spent the rest of the winter playing “Our Family” while away the long, cold evenings. I recently learned from a work colleague that they have been familiar with this game for about seven years, but I am pleased with the fact that it still remains on store shelves. Feel free to buy it as a gift for your children, nieces, and grandchildren. You won't regret it, I guarantee it!

For example, “birth of a child” - you need to select a card with a picture of a baby, the “professional development” card and “quarrel” also give cards of the same name. Once on the “betrayal” cell, you need to move to the “divorce” cell and start the game over (re-wedding and new husband). Three “quarrels” also lead to divorce and a new marriage. The quarrel cards are returned to the pile, and the rest remain with the player, because the store of knowledge and life experience always with us.

Reviews for the board game My Family

We still didn't understand how to play it. An absolutely pointless game. At the end, when there are few cards left, it’s easier not to roll the dice, but just take the cards one by one, because this process can drag on for the whole evening. The rules say that at the end we reveal the cards and count the points, but why do we need numbers inside the cards??? Crazy game. Wasted money.

The game is not bad in principle, although you have to figure out the rules as you go along. A child of 3.8 plays without any problems according to simplified rules - we just gather the family whoever is fastest. Cons: 1. The colors dark purple and light purple are practically the same. 2. Orange and yellow are mixed up on all cards. On cards with a family, only faces are indicated in orange/yellow, and on small cards it is the other way around.
Answer: It’s very cool that at this age your child is already mastering games intended for older children. It will be much easier for him in the future! As for the game itself, we will definitely convey to the manufacturer your wishes and shortcomings that you found.
Hello. Board game Our Family! To be honest, I had never heard of such a game, but I came to visit a friend, she bought it for her daughter, so I became interested and began to look at the game. Thick box, high-quality design, the playing field is made of thick cardboard in a folder. The color of the cards is very bright. In general, the game immediately attracted my attention. The game is for girls from 8 to 9 years old, but my friend’s daughter was 6.5 and she was good at it and played with pleasure! The game set includes a playing field, 1 cube, 9 chips and lots of bright cards! The rules are as follows: we get up at the start, choose which chip we will move (this is a picture of a girl), we roll the dice and walk. When we get to a certain cell, we read the task. The task can be as follows: give birth to a child, get money, have a wedding or divorce, or we can also return to the beginning of the game. The one who reaches the silver wedding square before everyone else wins. But there may be various obstacles ahead in the form of quarrels, betrayal, at this stage you return to the beginning of the game. This game should first be played with children, as it helps to plunge into adult life , it confronts the child with typical situations that occur in the family, quarrels, everyday life, relationships! Children learn that money is earned, and it does not appear out of nowhere, that quarrels can destroy a family and much more interesting things! A very educational game, but very addictive.
