Overview:
This game ties in quite well with the famous book (references at the bottom)! One of the videos said that they got the game first and then went and bought the book! We love the book, so I jumped at the chance to get a used copy of the game at I’m Board! Each player constructs a planet on a 4×4 grid so several of the videos compared it to Kingdomino (each player constructs a 5×5 land area)

How To Play (Watch It Played):
A trick taking card game similar to THE CREW (published by the same company) but with a “traitor” as part of the team! So it is a coop game with the twist that the INSIDER can win the game instead of the team!

How To / Review:
Wow … a game that let’s you make your own book in a 2 ring binder! Best played with 2 or 3 players … and it is tough to meet the end game goals. A puzzly kind of game trying to decide what to do when. This game was created by the same person who created Mandala Stones. Game takes longer the more players. GREAT for Solo play! Probably plays too long with 4 players.
Note: it takes a LOT of table space!
NOTE: Whoever is quickest at finishing their turn should be the first player! (other players can think about the Chronicles book pages while the first player actually is taking their actions).

Review:
The New York update to the great game Santorini with three dimensional building pieces you use during game play! The New York update now is more fun with 3 or 4 players and has multiple special ability cards!

How To Play:
Don’t worry – evolution is not in the game at all – it just means it is the sequel to Zombie Kidz
Personally, I don’t see what OTHER people see in Zombies… but they seem to be the big thing in games (I suppose they are a good alternative to fighting off aliens). If you are OK with fighting off Zombies, then here is a very interesting Cooperative game! (so all players are working together to beat of the Zombies). The unique thing about this game is that the rules gradually change as you play … there are secret envelopes that you open when you win that grant you more super powers etc.
Ages 5 and up. Best with 2 or 4 players. 5-15 minutes to play.
Explained by a kid:
Kids Game! Ages 4 and up (or younger with help). 15 minutes to play. Best with 3-4 players. Extremely simple. [available at I’m Board in Middleton or Sun Prairie]

Like a beginners version of KingDomino (which is pretty simple itself). The more complex version is QueenDomino.
