The rules in Solitaire Chess are simple - first set up the chess pieces on the board according to one of the 60 challenge cards, then proceed to capture and eliminate all but one piece using only moves allowed in traditional chess. You must capture a piece with every move, so this game is fast-paced and always exciting!

Try it out yourself!



My Take on the Game
My family loves games! I used to be big into chess as well when I was younger so I was excited to get the opportunity to try out this game with my eldest. The game says it for ages eight and up, but my eldest is 6.5 and I thought it would be fun for her to try it out as well.

What was great about this game was the fact that it definitely makes you think as much of the game itself is logic based. It was fun to see that you could play this for as long or as short as the time that you had available. Thus even if I only had a few minutes I could still have fun with this game and have some enjoyment from the challenge!

This game is now on one of my favorite games list (for the ones that I have in my home). My daughter struggled at first but after a few times she started to get the hang of it as well and she enjoyed being challenged by the game, and by me.

If you love logic puzzles and games that will stretch your mind, this is the game for you!

Product Review - Munchies Lunch

About the Game

Footloose Games builds socially responsible games that can be enjoyed by grown-ups and kids alike (or even better, together!). They have just finished crafting their first PC-based game called Munchies' Lunch.

Munchies' Lunch is a puzzle-adventure game that's quick to learn, challenging, and intellectually stimulating.

The game's characters and their journey are inspired by a real-life family's escape from the conflict in Yugoslavia during the early 90's. The producer Vlado wanted to show appreciation to his parents who during the time of great difficulty managed to exemplify courage, strength and unconditional love. He did that by making his own mom the game's hero and by telling his family's inspiring story. He wrote a little about it on the game's website which you can take a peek at here here.

Feel free to try the free demo on their website at http://www.munchies-lunch.com  and try it out for yourself!

My Take on the Game 

As a dad that loves playing games both by myself and with my family I can say that this game is quite addictive! I know that for me I had a lot of fun challenging myself to figure out which way that you had to move to make the munchies move away from the food that you needed to pick up before they ate it themselves and to make sure that I had enough points to make it to the next level.

My daughter did have a little trouble at first as she tried to figure out the controls, but once she did figure it out she was flying through the levels as well and having a blast.

Overall this was a lot of fun and challenging in its own right. If you like games and you like to be drawn into a game, this game is right for you!
