Little Prince – Make Me A Planet

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)

Zombie Kidz Evolution

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.
