While nannying during a pandemic there has been a lot more time being spent at their house. This has allowed us to discover some new games and also bring back some of our favorites to play! This game was given to the youngest for her birthday from their mom and it is a great one! The game is called Punto. The smallness of this case and game make is an amazing option to bring on a trip to play and takes little to no space in your luggage.
This game is geared for 8 years and older, but I truly feel like some younger children could probably learn to play just fine. The average game will take you about 20 minutes. This is a game that even adults would like to play making this a great family game night option. Punto is made for 2-4 players, if you have more you could definitely make teams and just take turns flipping the cards and placing.
The object of the game is to get 4 in a row of the cards with your color on it. Each person will pick a color that will be theirs for the whole game. If there are less than 4 players you will divide the remaining colors to the players and they are a neutral color. When everyone has their stack they do not look at them. One by one you will flip over the card, you must then place the card where you want it on the board. The trick is that the board can only grow to be a 6×6 grid. You can place your card next to any card, or you can place the card over top one that has a smaller amount. Once you get 4 in a row you win and you must pull the highest card from that row out and keep it aside.
The game will continue with a new round and will go until one player has collected 3 cards from winning 3 times. There will be laughs and excitement during each round. Punto may become your newest family game night addiction.

I hope that you all snatch up this game and start to incorporate it into family game night. Leave a comment if you end up purchasing or if you have the game, let me know how you like it. Enjoy!
