I love Zoo King published by Sararoga Toy&Game with the Zoo Lights Winter expansion for Christmas cheer and the down under booster pack. I would buy any further expansions and packs for more animal cards. I'm not a fan of the after-hours animals though. It's simple but great fun.

We like Uno Platinum Edition @Mattel less than Uno Djolijean. Platinum edition is hard for colour blind players. The cards don't have any shine or foil like the box does. The design of the cards which is darker or lighter on each corner can cause confusion and it feels less fun.

Serengeti Sanctuary published by Spooky Tower Games is not much of a game. It's a sketch of a card game. I really hate that the artwork was generated by AI. I'm very much against that. And the game wasn't fun nor engaging. The components & graphic design of the game are also bad.

Reforest published by Firestarter Games is a portable card game with a great theme and which feels very thematic (the rules tie up nicely to how forests work) but it isn't fun, it's a too long multiplayer solitaire and the symbols are too small to read even in your own forest.🙃

Kavango published by Mazaza Games is not our jam. It's too long. The rules aren't clear enough. It's a solitaire multiplayer game so you don't really play with the other players. It just isn't fun for us. The only thing it has going for it is great artwork and animals as a theme.

Uno by Djolijean published by @Mattel is surprisingly great! We all liked the tweaks in the rules and enjoyed playing it up to 500 points though that makes for over a dozen games hehehe. 😆🃏☝️The shiny design in this unofandom version of the game also elevates the experience.

I love Rebirth published by @mighty_boards and gloriously designed by @ReinerKnizia. It is great fun, it seems the opposite of too long, the rules are clear without double checking them and I surprisingly adore the tactile rewood castles and cathedrals. The colours are beautiful. It's awesome!🎯 👌 🤩

Virus Marvel by @Tranjisgames is a cute and fast card game with a @Marvel theme, which I love but is too simple if you don't play with kids. We prefer Uno if we are to play a simple card game. But I would get any expansions like Superman, X-Men... bring it on! 😁

Bohnanza Dahlias published by AMIGO is better than the classic beans Bohnanza 🫘 even if it's only a reskin of the game. Anything is made better with beautiful artwork by the talented @beth_sobel. The flowers theme is better, but the negotiation game is still not the best.🙃

Courtisans published by Pandasaurus is a blast to play! We had so much fun we played again and that's the best that can happen. The courts are a bit fairy like. The artwork is stunning. I wish the playmat was cardboard instead of cloth (it doesn't sit flat). I absolutely loved 🩵 it!

Disappointed with the new reskin of Splendor published by Space Cowboys / Asmodee. ☹️ Since it's meant to be a 10th anniversary version, I was hoping for better artwork & components. Chips are bigger but not better, and the artwork isn't unique per card & is lacklustre. Such a wasted opportunity. 🫤

Ticket to Ride Iberia published by Days of Wonder is great fun and innovates bringing new mechanics to a much cherished game! We like the new way to select tickets and the obligation to pick 4 more near the end. The festival cards are also a neat twist.🥰🚃🚂

Lords of Scotland is a nifty card game. I'm usually not a fan of fighting style games, but this one's great and it's really well balanced.👌 You can play with a more protective style if you prefer to avoid take that. It's not too long or short. Really hits the sweet spot.🎯⚔️😁💚

Pacific Ocean published by Timashëv Publishing is as gorgeous as a game can be, but the gameplay isn't there. It is absolutely stunning and I love marine creatures as a theme so I couldn't resist. Maybe it will work great with kids since it's easy to teach and very fast (10 minutes).🙃🐠🦈🐟🐋🐬🐙🪼

We have so much fun playing Red7 published by Asmadi Games!! The game just sings to us.🎶 One of our favourite games for sure. It feels like a classic in the best way possible. I would take it to a dessert island as one of my limited items.🏝Though I wish the rules were clearer (We have v1.3)🙃

Much fun was had by all playing Sea Salt & Paper and its expansion Extra Salt 🧂by the wonderfully talented Bruno Cathala and Theo Rivière and published by Bombyx I hope there are more expansions in the future for this beautiful fast game. ⛵️And I can't wait for more Abyss soon! 😁

The theme for Dog Park (published by Birdwood Games) is the best: dogs! 🐶But my game group refused to play with the new tricks expansion after looking at the rulebook (that's sad) & playing just the base game took us 3 hours and it wasn't our first game. It just takes too long. Components are great🙃

Played Silver published by Bezier Games with our current customized deck you can see in the picture and the silver dagger🗡. Everyone asked to play again so there isn't anything better than that. I hope the deck with the promo cards from the @Kickstarter is released soon on their Website. 😊🐺

We played Big Boss published by Funko Games with the original rules, which are a bit harder & more cutthroat, and my game group much preferred them. I have to agree with them. I still lose, but I had a great time. It's cool that the other players don't know which cards you have. Great game! 😁

Barrio by Jorge Tababera Redondo and published by Cacahuete Games is such a beautiful card game! I love how the paniramic tableaus look at the end.😍 But it seems swingy and luck dependant. Being first player gives a clear advantage. And you can't really strategize much. Still a fun game. 🏘

As all AllPlay published games, Through the Desert by the brilliant Dr Reiner Knizia has great components, but the beautiful wooden camels aren't colour blind friendly as announced and they are hard to distinguish (specially the leaders). So in our next game we will try with the plastic ones and see

Zoo King is a fun card game with lovely theme and cute artwork by Satatoga Toy & Game Co. Who doesn't want to collect all animals and create the best zoo?🥰 And now there is a new expansion on Kickstarter if you're interested. It plays better with more than 2 players.

We loved Skyrise! And the production in the Premium Collector's Edition is outstanding like everything Roxley Games touches!!! 😍 I wasn't sure I would like it because I'm not a fan of bidding games, but Skyrise just became the exception. Such a tight game at 2 players. Loved it!

Through the Dessert by Reiner Knizia in a new amazing production by AllPlay just arrived in Spain, woot! With beautiful wooden camels 🐫 😍 and the Bazaar expansions. Can't wait to play. Dr. Knizia is one of my favourite game designers.
