The Chaos Twins were recently asked if they would like to host a party for a fun collection called “gogos CRAZY BONES” and they said “well, we’ve never heard of them, but okay!”
A giant box arrived and the kids got so excited to see this new toy. We had to wait until we were able to share with all of our friends, but when the day arrived, this little video shows the chaos and fun that ensued:
What exactly is a gogo’s CRAZY BONES, anyway?
Gogo's are small colorful characters that come in hundreds of colors and designs, each one with a unique name, design, personality and special ability. Think pokemon crossed with marbles and jacks and you’re on the right track. Gogo’s were, in fact, inspired by those games of old. The players are different (characters instead of bouncy balls, marble collections and pointy metal jack) but the rules are pretty much the same. Check out the Gogo’s website for the rules of all the games – but Moms and Dads, if you’ve played marbles or jacks, you can play/explain the rules of Gogo’s games.
Days after the party, the kids are still playing with them. They are even sleeping with them in plastic buckets lest the other Chaos Twin wake in the middle of the night and try to abscond with them. Every morning we play “Hide-n-Gogo” for hours on end. Hide-n-Gogo is basically an Easter Egg hunt, but with Gogos. I’m actually thinking of hiding new Gogo’s all over the house (or yard, stupid midwest weather depending) instead of the traditional plastic eggs. Or maybe put Gogos inside our eggs, that’s probably smarter.
There are over 80 different characters, each in 5 different colors. Add in a few special characters here and there, and a set of “Most Wanted Gogos” and you’ve got a pretty big collection. The guys shown up there are the 5 most wanted. They’re rare, apparently. We have the middle guy and he’s been named “Cap’n Gogo” by SpacePirate and is his most favorite Gogo. He tucks Cap’n Gogo in his pocket whenever we leave the house. 
I even have a favorite Gogo, because his special ability is close to my heart. He has the special ability to CONTROL THE WEATHER! How awesome is that?! His name is temp and he’s a little goofball.
The happy little green guy below is LittleMiss’ favorite. He’s called “Smiley Kitty Gogobone” here – but his real name is Mosh. He’s the friendliest Gogo and everyone wants to be his pal.
I have even read that the Gogo’s creators have given the greenlight to an animated TV series with these little guys. There has only been a press release on this news, no previews or anything – so I do hope that they keep the violence out as much as possible. 
Anyway, Gogo’s CRAZY BONES come very highly recommended by both Chaos Twins, Mommy and Daddy. We all really like them and plan to get more as special behavior rewards and such. We all really do enjoy playing with them. I have found that they are sold in the stores where the trading cards are sold, so be sure to check there. A whole new series of Gogos comes out in May, too!
