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.

I love that here, you’re kind of dividing the group in half every round, but everyone is still working towards the same goal. I also love how the teams are changing all the time with shifting roles.

The kingdom’s princesses have come together for a spectacular five-day celebration. But not everyone made the guest list—every needy prince in the land, feeling snubbed, plans to crash the ball.

Rebel Princess is a trick-taking game that

The Guesser flips over all the cards and tries to match the cards to the sketches on the table. They’ll put a descriptor card and a subject card for each sign, and once they finalize their choices, it’s time to score!

Your goal in Flip 7 is to be the first player to score 200 points. But you cannot do that in a single round. Each round, you’ll score points based on the cards in front of you. But you’ll bust and get zero points for the round if you have two cards with the same number.

Looney Labs did some fun and clever things with how they want you to put your words together for success in this game.

Flutter is a beautiful, thematic game. But the petal tracking and some of the complexities set the experience back. It’s a fun puzzle, but I would wait to bring it to the table until the kids are a little older and have better fine motor control.

SNAP Review – Medieval Academy – Choices in Chivalry
I had picked up this game because I heard great things about it – and the new version fixes some small issues with the first edition. Is it worth it?

I’d recommend Mezen to two distinct audiences: Families who want a jumping off point to study more about folk art, especially in Russia or Scandanavia – and gamers who want a puzzley game with no player interference and challenges that never feel punitive.

Oh My Pigeons! turns these sidewalk strutters into the ultimate flocking challenge as players compete to gather a full roost of birds. But be warned—these birds aren’t above a little chaos!

This Fluxx game was really crafted with a love for Winnie the Pooh and it references all our favorite moments from these 100 year old stories.
