Kirby Dream Buffet

About the Game

In Kirby’s Dream Buffet™ you can bump, battle, and boost your way to sweet victory!

Have fun rolling through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages in delicious 4-player competition as a rounder-than-usual Kirby. Anyone can take the cake in Kirby’s Dream Buffet! This digital game is available exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

Kirby Dream Buffet

If you do not want to play against the system, battle with another player on a single Nintendo Switch family system or have even more fun battling it out with up to 4 players via local wireless or online.

The game allows you to dress Kirby in scrumptious costumes that look like Meta Knight, King Dedede, Elfilin, and more and you can customize Kirby with an array of different color options to help you start the race in style.

Kirby Dream Buffet

As you are playing the game decorate your own cake with treats that look like cookies, chocolates, and candies from the Kirby™ series of games.

My Take on the Game

I have loved playing other Kirby™ games in the past and I was interested to see what this game would be like as well. I will say that while the game is different than other Kirby™ games it is a lot of fun that will allow you to pass the time away with ease. The levels are challenging and you continue to work level by level to hone your skill to be able to have even more fun in the next level. As you are able to play against other players you will have even more fun as you compete against your friends. All-in-all I had hours of fun and I think that you will too!

My Take on the Game

My daughters love Just Dance games and as a father I have to say that I love hearing them giggle and laugh as they are “busting a move.” Especially during this pandemic while we are confined inside, this game allows my kids the ability to keep active and moving while they dance to some of their favorite songs. The songs are a great mix of genres, and you will find that there is a great mix of choreography that will challenge your kids in many different ways. I have even jumped in, and even though this dad does not have the most fluid movements, I got in there with the best of them.

In the game you will find a great mix of moves from hip-hop, modern, Zumba, etc. and while I did not know all of the songs, my daughters did and they loved hearing them! You will also get a nice workout from the game, so get ready to get your move on!

So whether you like Harry Styles or Eminem, you will love this game!

This holiday season, get your dance on with Just Dance 2021.

Holiday Gift Guide – CuBirds

About the Game

CuBirds is a fantastic new trick-taking game for 2-5 players that plays in 20 minutes!

Players begin each round of CuBirds with bird cards in hand and a mixed flock of birds in the center of the table from which to choose from. Draw cards, build your flock, and play the series of identical birds (your flock) from your hand forming your scoring area.

Your goal is to be the first player to gather 1 of each different species or two species with at least three identical birds in each. Each bird comes with one small flock or 1 large flock score, so you can hold out for a larger flock to score even more! Beware, though, as the round ends when a player empties their hand, forcing all players to discard their hands and plans!

  • Ages 8+, 2-5 players, plays in 20′
  • High quality product with beautiful artwork!
  • Easy to learn and easy to play!
  • Two ways to play!

My Take on the Game

If you love solving puzzles as well as collecting and making sets in a card game, CuBirds is a great game that you will want to try for yourself!

As you sit down to play this fun game, you will find that it will keep you busy for about 20 minutes, but I found that I would many times keep playing more as the game is a ton of fun!

The concept of the game is that you wok to collect different species of birds, aiming to gather two flocks of the same three birds or seven different birds to win the game.

As you play you will find that as you play you will get the opportunity to interact with all of the myriad of different cards that come up in the middle of your table. These cards change as players add extra birds and also take some away.

The rounds are fast, but there is also strategy that needs to happen so that you can get the cards you need to win.

The rules of the game are easy to understand and the game is a ton of fun for the whole family!

While CuBirds is a shorter game, you will enjoy every minute of it!
