Monopoly Fortnite Review

Last month, Monopoly Fortnite was revealed as one of the 12 ultimate toys of 2018 by the DreamToys organisation! This game is inspired by the popular Fortnite video game and now it is not about what players own; it is about how long they can survive in this Monopoly game! To win, you have to be the last man standing, just like the game!

Although this game is suitable for aged 13 and above, both of my children were super keen to play it! Mr K is a big Fortnite fan and he is loving this! This board game is suitable for two to seven players and it features well-known locations as properties, and players aim to earn Health Point chips instead of Monopoly money to stay in the game!

Thank Gosh It’s Monday

Do you love or hate Mondays? Mondays are often the most hated day of the week. I used to hate them as I worked 4.5 days a week as an Operating Theatre Nurse. Normally, I worked during office hour and occasionally did shift work. It meant I had to wake up at 7am to get to work at 8am. I have never been a morning person and after having a weekend rest, Monday was not my favourite day at work. More things seemed to go wrong too like making sure there were beds available for the patients, surgery instruments, etc. But since I am a SAHM, I now love Mondays!

Minecraft Steve & Animal Mobs Review

A couple of months ago, I was debating with my husband whether we should get the Minecraft app for Mr K. He had been begging for days. We both knew very little about Minecraft and what the objective of the game is. I’ve since learnt that Minecraft is a Lego style adventure game which puts players in a randomly-generated world where they can create their own structures and contraptions out of textured cubes.

There are two main modes within the game; ‘survival’ and ‘creative’. I had told him that he is only allowed to play in creative play mode and somehow he managed to create his survival world too. A sign of parenting failure! Now Mr K is obsessed with Minecraft and watches YouTube tutorials to get tips to create and build his own world.

He has built 4 worlds and explained to me how he built his house with underground tunnels and how he sheared the sheep for wool.
