It's time to get ready for the Holiday season (no matter when you find this article). On top of preparations regarding decorations, gift giving, and gauntlet of dinner parties to both host and attend, you need to find something fun for family and friends to do when over at your home. A game sounds about right, but the likes of Pictionary and Twister are as played out as pumpkin spice lattes by the time November rolls around. But we have got the peppermint mocha of board games for you - Popongo! Popongo is already being touted as the best new game for Christmas of 2024. Why all the festive fuss? Read ahead to find out!
5 Reasons Why Popongo is the Best New Game to Enjoy with Family and Friends During the Holiday Season of 2024
I. Christmas Game That Gets You Moving
As we all know, the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is spent stuffing our faces with everything from turkey stuffing to sugar plums (what are sugar plums anyways?). While we wouldn't dare suggest abstaining from any of it, it is a good idea to get up and moving when gathered with the gang this Holiday season. This is a big part of what makes Popongo the best new game for Christmas. While it can be enjoyed in close and cozy quarters, participants stand, toss, retrieve, and high-five while engaged in game-play. Popongo gets everyone moving without it feeling that you're burning Christmas cookie calories in the process.
II. Actually Fun for All Ages (even teens)
The proverbial playing field is typically unbalanced when engaged in games with family, friends, and guests. This can put a damper on the fun for small children, the elderly, and the dexterity challenged among those in attendance for Holiday season game nights. The aforementioned activities and other traditionally popular games (Pictionary, Twister, Jenga, et cetera) exclude oh-so-many and ruin the ho-ho-ho feeling of Christmas. This is not the case with Popongo. While skill can be developed over time, when first introduced it's essentially a free for all, with anyone having a shot a winning. There is only one rule - have FUN! Well, that, and these official ones.
And yes, try as hard as they can to not to, teens have a blast playing this game too.
III. Pack It Along on Christmas Vacation
Spending winter vacation on the slopes in Switzerland? Visiting the Grandparents for Yuletide in Yuma, AZ? Holed up in a Manhattan hotel to enjoy the Rockefeller tree? Whatever the case may be, Popongo is one new game for Christmas that you can bring with you thanks to the official carrying case. The lightweight set and convenient carrier allows you to pack it in your luggage or as a carry-on. And once at your destination it can be set-up, played, and re-packed with ease in any hotel or Airbnb.
IV. Popongo Prevents Learning Loss During Christmas Break
Young students in your household experience a decline in math skills over the Holiday season break. Aside from counting down the 12 Days of Christmas, addition, subtraction, and multiplication get regelated to the pile of coal next to Santa's naughty list. And while you probably don't want to interrupt your young kids' Home Alone marathon to crack open a text book, you also don't want them to experience learning loss and start the new year behind the rest of the class. Well, you'll be pleased to know that due to the scoring system involved (view game rules here) Popongo is both fun and educational and can prevent learning loss from occurring.
V. Perfect Christmas Gift Idea Too
All of the above leads to an inevitable conclusion - Popongo makes for the perfect gift for whomever is on your NICE list this Christmas! Not only will you be the favorite gift giver to all recipients this year, you will enjoy the easiest shopping experience of the season. Popongo ships directly to your home in about 3 days from placing your order. And while we ship anywhere, households in the continental USA enjoy FREE shipping (view details).
