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:
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:
Plays on a vertical board. Player pieces have magnets. Players can only see one side of the two sided board so they need to communicate with each other! [available at I’m Board Middleton or Sun Prairie]
Ages 5-10 (adults can have fun with it as well)

Like a beginners version of KingDomino (which is pretty simple itself). The more complex version is QueenDomino.
How To Play:
Can play this game using the cards from the game The Mind (just add the cards placed in the middle of the table)
