We discuss other ways to connect, and recommend some videogames.

Battle of Legends Volume 3 is the conclusion to the “Battle of Legends” trilogy for Unmatched, which is a little sad.

Seers Catalog
If you love trick-taking games, Seers Catalog is a unique take on the genre as a card-shedding game. But it’s not really a family game.

It seemed to us like the best way to play Donald Duck in Happy Camper is exactly the opposite of how the famously impulsive Donald would play it. When players can bring patience and planning, and look for just the right moment, the game still can be rewarding.
