A couple of friends have introduced me to two new to me card games that I have been enjoying immensely.

Bohnanza
Struggle For Catan

I went out and bought Bohnanza and now have my kids hooked on it too. It is ages 13+, but my kids are 10 and 8 and they caught on quickly. It's our new family favourite activity on Sunday nights. It is a bean planting game. You get seeds and have 2-3 fields to plant seeds, and grow and harvest those fields for coins while trying to trade the seeds that won't help your fields. You sell/harvest your fields for coins and whomever had the most come at the end wins.

I'll wait a couple of years before trying to introduce Struggle For Catan to my kids as they may not take to it as quickly or favourably as I did, but I still love playing it.

I bought Bohnanza at Discovery Hut in Chinook Mall. It was $12 cheaper for me to get it in Calgary than to buy it at the games stores in Lethbridge.
