Every time we played Donut Shop, the first few rounds felt like everyone helping each other, as we collectively made one or two large groups of donuts. But once everyone picked up a few Order cards, it became a race to fit the best boxes.

Every once in a while a game comes along that makes you stop and look at it. You’re just moving along on the hamster wheel of life and something comes out that is so clever, and so simple, that you just have to marvel at it. It helps when it looks great, and draws a crowd.

Sheep in Disguise is a light family game with just a little bit of take-that. We did have some hurt feelings when players would “expose” another player’s sheep, which meant they were abducted when an attack card was played – but the game is light and moves quickly enough that we could pretty much get past that.

This is a game about managing your cult full of space octopus worshipers. For some of us this was silly, but for others it was a little uncomfortable.

It’s a fun simple game for pet lovers who like this really adorable style, but it’s definitely not a game for your hobby group. I’d stick with playing this with kids, probably around ages 6-10, or young teens or preteens that really lean into the cuteness factor.
