Ditty Bird ~ Pictures Say So Much

 

Let me tell you about my grandson and his love of Ditty Bird books. On Thanksgiving day, I replaced all the Ditty Bird books with exciting new Christmas books. Among the delightful books were ones with jingle bells, snow globes, books that sang Jingle Bells and more. Whenever my grandson walks into Gammy's house, everyone wants to hold him, but his focus is on getting his hands on all of the Ditty Bird books. As this scenario played out, I showed him all of the exciting Christmas books I had. After focusing for a few seconds, he looked at where the Ditty Bird Books usually sat on the bookshelf and found they weren't there. Not happy he wanted to know where the Ditty Birds books were. In my excitement, I informed him that we would read all the fun Christmas books together. Three minutes later, he was over the Christmas books completely. About an hour after we had started playing, my grandson started having a fuss and said "Ditty.". Everybody said, "Get Ditty Bird Books.". He jumped up, got beyond excited, and everything in his life was good again since he had his Ditty Bird Books. Pictures sometimes say more than words!

My grandson loves his "De Books."

Castle Panic

 

Castle Panic is a board game in which players must slay monsters to protect their castle towers from destruction. BEWARE: Monsters lurk in the forest. Their eyes are on you and your teammates progress throughout the game. The monsters are eager to destroy the castle walls and towers. What are the chances of the monsters destroying your castle? Your strategy and planning can lead to success or failure in the battle. Players have to balance the survival of the whole team against their own desire to be the Master Monster Slayer. While players as a whole either win or lose together against the monsters, the player at the end of the game with the most victory points wins. The game on average takes approximately 45 minutes to play. The optimal number of players is four, but up to six can play the game. The recommended age for playing is 8 and up. 

In my opinion, Castle Panic is best suited to children ages 6-10. It is a straightforward game with limited play options when it is your turn. As a result of discussing the upcoming turn with your teammates, you can anticipate what's going to happen.

While cooperation is key, Castle Panic also relies on randomness, so strategy does not always work. You may think you have made the smart move, but your next teammate could be sitting on some not so helpful cards at that precise moment in the game. Communicating with your teammates is crucial. Each turn, a player can discard a card and take a new one. It may be beneficial for both the player and the team. In the absence of a good play, this might now allow you to make an optimal one. Cards can also be traded between players.

Dized App

There are sixteen pages in the Castle Panic Rulebook, and it can be quite intimidating for a more visual learner. A fantastic app called Dized provides tutorials and other content to help individuals learn how to play games. As well as afull tutorial, Castle Panic's rules are also included in this app. I found this very helpful. 

Here is a basic overview of Castle Panic.

I 

As Castle Panic is a cooperative game, players will have to conform to its unique gameplay style. As a group of game players, players will learn the value of teamwork, remain calm when situations become tense, and most importantly enjoy the game together. I would definitely recommend this game.
