Tri Cross the Strategy Game for Today!

What would you say, if I told you there is a game, that would peak the interest of both girls and boys, from elementary school, all the way through high school, and, Mom and Dad would enjoy playing as well?   This game is not only enjoyable, it is educational. Yet, your kids won't even know they are learning... the only thing they will think they are learning is how to beat their opponent!

What is this game? It is Tri-Cross!

Tri-Cross is an awesome board game that is a cross between Chess and Checkers! This is a great strategey skill building game!  If you are like me, strategy games really are not your thing.  I dare say, that's because you have not played Tri-Cross!  Now let me tell you, I really do not like Chess or Checkers, however, I love Tri-Cross!

My 11year old daughter and I have been sitting down and playing Tri-Cross and we have had such a good time! What is awesome, as a mom, is to watch my daughter play the game and begin to analyze the game, and formulate a strategy. She actually, almost, could not stay in her seat as she played the game. That was because she was anxious to find out how her plan, her strategy, would play out.  At the end of one of the games, she said, okay, that one is not going to work, let me tell you  what I was trying to do... If you knew my daughter, you would know, this is not her typical kind of game! She is one of those girlie girls!   I would not be able to get her to sit down and play a game of checkers or chess.   They appear boring to her.  Tri-Cross is new and exciting, yet you are getting the benefits of games like that, however, it is much more accessible for everyone! (even girlie girls!)

With the variations of play available for the game, you can increase the difficulty level. Additionally, my daughter and I started playing  just the two of us, and have now, brought in my other daughter (14) to play with us. Not only, did she love the game, but by including her into the game, it gives the game a whole new dynamic! Tri-Cross has quickly become the favorite family board game!

Now, as a parent I love this game and what it has to offer. Add in, that I am a homeschool mom, and this game scores even higher! Look what the games' website says about all there is to learn by playing Tri-Cross:
