There is this game called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is kind of like Candyland in the way you move. You draw a card and move the amount of spaces the card says. The cards also have poems from the movie.

The goal of the game is to be the first player to the Glass Elevator space on the board. On the way to the Glass Elevator, there are golden ticket spaces. You cannot win if you do not have 5 golden tickets by the time you reach the elevator.

If you hit the point when you are about to advance to the final section leading to the elevator, you have to move in the Round Chamber until you have 5 tickets.

I would play this game with most people because of its sheer simplicity.

I tried a new game today called Fly. My mother bought it in a Kickstarter called Pack O Game. Fly is a very simple game that anyone can learn.

You use the table tiles to make a 9 by 3 picnic table grid. In the top left corner, you stand the box up next to the grid. Next, place the sky card so that it stands on top of the box. On the table tiles there are little flies. You raise the fly swatter card to a minimum height of the top of the sky card. When you drop the flyswatter, every fly you cover completely you remove to your score pile.  Scoring is based on collecting multiple flies with the same symbols or color.

I enjoyed this game because it is a simple game and does not require logic. The best part is the fact that you could have trouble reading and it doesn’t matter! The only part you need to read is the instructions. I would play this game with my family or my friends.
