Not far from my house there is a dive bar, with scary red lighting that hosts bingo on Monday nights. It’s really not all that exciting; you win a brown paper lunch bag filled with random odd items. I was lucky enough to win the first round Monday night and my winnings included some Cheez-It snacks, baby food, a bunny sucker and Chicklets. By the end of the night our table had a skull candle, a bible card game and three colors of “fun dough.” But before the bingo festivities …

There is just something about the look of Blue Orange games that I love. Previously I reviewed Gobblet Gobblers (see here) and I got quite a bit of good feedback on that one. It’s cute, fun to play and easy to learn – three things that they were able to successfully replicate in their game ChickyBoom! Though unlike Gobblet Gobblers, ChickyBoom is a game is really a kid’s game – not an all-ages game in kid’s clothing. But for the children in your life this one is going to be …
