Zeus on the Loose
We take games with us when we go travelling. It started with our three month trip to South America way back in 2013 when the girls were six and half and two and a half years old respectively. That game was a cute little deck of cards with watercolour pantings. For the life of me I can't remember its name even though we played it at restaurants waiting for food, in hotel rooms before bedtime and on trains travelling to new places.
On our most recent family trip to Tassie to see our good friends, we discovered a fabulous shop on the main street of their closest town, Deloraine. I love Deloraine, with its fabulous pub meals, quirky shops and the gorgeous river along which it is situated. The shop had a great selection of games and on a whim I picked up Zeus on the Loose. It quickly became a firm family favourite and we played it over and over again. Which is pretty good when your kids are now twelve and sixteen.
Zeus on the Loose is another game from the publisher, Game Wright. We already have loads of their games because they are perfect for families and younger children. They typically involve some luck, some strategy and a little bit of thinking but not too much.
This game is fast and fun. Just what you need for some down time after a day spent sightseeing! Kids who are fans of the Percy Jackson series of books will love the Greek mythology theme. And for parents - it's also a maths game so you can sneak in some learning while you're travelling and the kids won't care cos they're having too much fun!
