Our new favorite family game!




The kids got the game Take Off! for Christmas and for some reason or another, it ended up on the game shelf in the closet without being played - until last week that is. We have now discovered that this is such a great game for us to all play together! The game play is easy and the kids are learning geography as we go along - where places are and even the flags. My husband and I actually enjoyed playing it with the kids (and I can't say that about all of the games we own). The only complaint that I have is that some of the dots on the map are SO close together that it's hard to keep your plane on the correct dot (this is usually only when you're making your way through Europe and some other heavily populated areas). Of course it would be much easier to keep it in the correct spot without a wiggly 4 yr old playing :)
We plan on getting lots of use out of this game in the future!

Added 4/25: I added the pic of us playing the game today. After a little frustration with the kids bumping the map around we finally solved the problem and taped it to the table. This made it much easier to play!
