SNAP Review – Hundred Acre Wood Fluxx
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.
» Read moreSNAP Review – Combo
Combo is a great unique game for the family! It’s kind of cooperative, in the sense that you can’t create a full combo on your own. You have to work with people at least a little bit if you’re going to score any points. But it’s not REALLY cooperative, because you still want to get the most points, and win.

I’ve played and reviewed plenty of trick-taking games over the years. Some flop, while others become regulars at game nights with friends. Trick-taking games always offer a unique twist, whether through a quirky theme or an inventive scoring system that sets them apart.

We’d recommend Streamer Standoff for teens and young adults who are REALLY into streaming culture. Otherwise, save your subs for something less standoff-ish.

When I heard about Cabanga!, I knew I had to try it. The thrill of deciding whether to play a card that might cause me to gain unwanted cards adds an exciting layer of suspense, making every turn feel like a risky, strategic gamble.

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 might be the Uno-killer! We recommend Mojo as a fun family game that’s a bit more strategic.

Football Feud! is a great fast game for casual (and not-so-casual) fans of American football. Each “quarter” is a single turn, so choose cards to maximize your yardage for touchdowns – or slow down your opponents.

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.

SNAP Review – Mind Up!
We recommend Mind Up! for families; but not for kids under 8. You’ll bid cards from your hand to acquire cards on the table… but the cards you bid become the cards you might get next turn!

Compile is a two-player card dueling game with just 18 cards on each side, but a huge variety of possibilities! Why do Andrew and Anitra enjoy it so much?

Montmartre is an elegant card game that feels familiar and comfortable for avid board gamers but is also simple enough to introduce to new players.

Sherlock Holmes doesn’t really work alone – he works best when Dr. Watson is beside him. Sherlock Solitaire is the same way: it can be played solo, but is more fun as a two player cooperative game.

This is definitely the kind of casual game a non-board game family will lean into. Doomlings is a fantastic game to get on the table after a family meal, and it’s easy to teach even while you play it.
