Last night I was explaining to David and Charlie what the Ultimate Blog Challenge and the A to Z Challenge is and why I was participating. I let David know these would help not only my website but teaching Charlie his classes.
I sat down to right my post and new what I was going to share for the A to Z Challenge #AtozChallenge. Only the LORD had other plans for me as I looked for our Monopoly Game for the letter m.
As I was looking for our Monopoly game David brought me Charlie’s Mission X-Code which is a Board Game Charlie and I play at least once a week.
Charlie and David said I should share Mission X-Code because people might not know about this game and they might be looking for something to do with there families.
Mission: X Code
Work as a Team | Share Information | Race the Clock | Hack the Code | Level Up
Mayday! The world’s computer networks are down, and you’ve got 3 minutes to enter a secret code to save them. But you can’t do it alone—tell the other players what you need for your part of the code, then swap to get those cards. But you can only trade in one direction, so you’ll need communication, strategy, a little luck, and lots of skill . . . and that’s just for the first level.
There are 10 levels—each more challenging than the last—in this game that’s designed to bring people together.
A speedy game with no turns—everyone plays at once
Brings families and friends closer together
10 levels (most take more than one try), 3-minute play—hours of entertainment and full re-playability.
- Creates togetherness-all players win or lose together as a single team
- 10 levels of missions get progressively more challenging to solve
- Contains two sealed card boxes with secret challenges-playerss crack the seals to reveal them
- An action-packed cooperative game (honest!) that plays in 3 minutes
For every one of our games:
- Just 5 rules per game
- European quality
For our dessert this week I thought I would do a Throw Back to when Charlie was a little guy. M & M Cookies was his favorite and Charlie still loves them ask for them at least once a month.
For me if you was to ask me which cookies I like mine actually starts with a M as well because I like White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. With a tad bit of Coconut in them. Yummy!
