Review: Doubles as beautiful decor! - This fast paced, fun guessing game is nicely packaged into a beautiful linen book box that doubles as home decor. My family loves this game and the little kids can play it too. I have many of these games and they look so clean on my bookshelves. They are pretty expensive but nicely made. Having them out on our book shelves it’s so easy for the grandkids to grab and open. They are super easy to store and don’t take up much room. I can’t wait to have the whole collection of these games.
