When my kids were little, they always wanted my husband and me to play with them. From board games to Barbie dolls, I remember being an exhausted mom all too well who wondered when the demands for attention would ever end. Then, they became teenagers.My kids are 14 and 16 now, and each kid has their own social schedule and spends lots of downtime hanging out in their room. However, I recently picked up Sixem: Sour Patch Kids Dice Game, which immediately caught my teens’ attention. This family board game brought a love of game nights—and priceless bonding time—back to my house. Sixem: Sour Patch Kids Dice Game

Sixem: Sour Patch Kids Dice Game is a take on the original Sixem, a fast-paced dice game where players race to roll their dice and win. The big difference between Sixem and the Sour Patch Kids version is the sweet-or-sour twist: Players have the opportunity to be “sweet” by giving one of their opponents a color they’re in need of or “sour” by taking an opponent’s color away and slowing their progress. I love how simple the game is to learn, and so do others. “It's really easy to learn, plays fast, and is a great family game or something quick to play when you just want to have a bit of fun,” wrote one Amazon shopper. My kids are competitive, and they love sticking it to one another, swiping each other’s hard-earned progress away while snacking on the Sour Patch Kids candies I put out to sweeten, and sour, deals.

Since the first night we played Sixem: Sour Patch Kids Dice Game, my kids have not only asked my husband and me to play it again several times, but they’ve also shown the game to friends. I’m not sure which scenario I like more: playing the game with my teens or listening to them laugh as they play the game with their friends. Amazon shoppers love to play it with their family, too. “I recently played this game with the whole family,” said one reviewer. “I like how simple it is, yet you can still use strategy to make this game more challenging.” If you, like me, kind of miss those exhausting little ones asking you to play with them, try bringing this game (and some Sour Patch Kids candy) to the table.
