SNAP Review – Circus Flohcati
I was surprised and impressed at how simple this game was while being simultaneously incredibly fun to play. This is the kind of game that you lose and then it’s pretty easy to convince yourself you can win the next go ’round.

One of the interesting parts of Neuroriders is that you don’t have your own meeple. Players manipulate all four meeples to increase the Memory Counter tracks they want to have the most points at the end of the game.

Mutton Bustin is a speedy dice-rolling game for 2-4 players, ages 8 and up. Those folks would be too old to ride real sheep.

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.
