Games Created by Women: Loopin Louie

louie There are few things in this world that are better than playing games with people you care about. Sometimes we forget how much it means to play games together when we are young. Or even how much it means to play with younger people for us. It brings families together. We get to watch children learn and adults get to let loose.

It also helps that “kids games” are just plain fun. While all games are meant to be engaging and challenging they do not always have the sense of fun that games from our childhoods have.  The design of Loopin Louie is a bright callback to the game design of the 1990s. It was designed by Carol Wiseley. Wiseley did a fantastic job of making sure to create a game that was not only entertaining but also something that would bring together all age groups.

The premise of Loopin Louie is that your madman neighbor Louie is at it again. He just has to fly his plane over your chickens. You are armed with a paddle to knock him away from your chickens. Louie loops and flies around until he can knock chickens off the board. The player with chickens still on the board wins.

The design of the game itself is well crafted for causing laughter. Louie is able to really fly and move around the board with the help of a battery operated device. This brings the game to a whole new level of interaction for the players. Everything is bright and moving. This is a great game for players age four and up!

Board games are a wonderful way to spend time together. Not only that but games can help younger players with their development. A game like Loopin’ Louie is also helpful for developing motor skills. Kids can laugh their way through learning hand eye coordination with their paddles. Gaming is a way to learn about life and also about each other.

If you are looking for a game to start with for your family I would highly recommend this one. It is both simple and yet challenging enough to be fun for all ages. Loopin Louie is the kind of game that will help get kids into gaming which will lead to a lifetime of fun.
