<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nHappy Salmon is a simple, ultra-fast, very silly card game.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are no turns. Players call out the action shown on their cards as fast as they can. When two players have a match, they celebrate by performing the action. Actions include the classic “High 5”, the unifying “Pound It”, the frantic “Switcheroo”, and the delightful and bizarre “Happy Salmon”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nEach time a player celebrates a match, they quickly discard a card. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe “FIN-tastically” unique and cute fish pouch makes Happy Salmon perfect to take to camp, vacation or if you are just traveling upstream.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlayer Count: 1-99 Players<\/li> Play Time: 60 Mins<\/li> Complexity Rating: 1 \/ 5<\/li> Average Rating: 7 \/ 10 (49 Ratings)<\/li> Cooperative, Hand Management, and Storytelling<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span> Description from Publisher <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFor centuries, the Lacoonian System, an alliance of the most advanced civilizations in the galaxy, has lived in peace, but now the Evil Power Master has returned and is leading a destructive rebellion.

They compete against each other as well as the game-controlled, mustachioed Dick Dastardly and his wheezy pup Muttley.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nRaces are simple, yet strategic, as players place cards indicating the terrain tiles to which their racer will move, with the last card played indicating where Dastardly and Muttley will end up. However, it wouldn’t be wacky without a little trouble standing in the way. Racers need to dodge or negate traps set by Dastardly as he attempts to stay ahead of the pack. Racers can choose between single races lasting 10-15 minutes or the Championship mode, which offers unique rule sets changing from race-to-race before a winner is named.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlayer Count: 2-6 Players<\/li> Play Time: 20 mins<\/li> Complexity Rating: 1 \/ 5<\/li> Average Rating: 6.8 \/ 10 (706 Ratings)<\/li> Dexterity Game<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Description from Publisher<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nAll you need in Catch the Moon are a few skillfully placed ladders, a good sense of balance, and a touch of imagination.

After shuffling the deck of cards, draw and reveal the first card. Each player takes a number tile matching the card and places it on the table. With each new card drawn after that, each player takes the appropriate number tile, then adds it to the tiles that they already have in play, with each player building their own arrangement of tiles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe new tile must touch at least one other tile on the same level along one side of a square. A tile can also be placed on top of two or more other tiles as long as no part of the new tile overhangs the tiles below it; new tiles placed on this same level must touch at least one other tile, while also covering parts of at least two tiles and not overhanging.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce all the cards have been drawn and the tiles placed, players take turns calculating their score. A tile on the bottom level \u2014 the 0th level, if you will \u2014 scores 0 points; a tile on the 1st level above this is worth as many points as the number on the tile; a tile on the 2nd level is worth twice the number on the tile; etc. Whoever scores the most points wins!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlayer Count: 2-6 Players<\/li> Play Time: 50 Mins<\/li> Complexity Rating: 2.41 \/ 5<\/li> Average Rating: 7.1 \/ 10 (3.6K Ratings)<\/li> Variable Player Powers, Take That, and Hand Management<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Description from Publisher<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn\u00a0Villainous, each player takes control of one of six Disney characters, each one a villain in a different Disney movie. Each player has their own villain deck, fate deck, player board, and 3-D character.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn a turn, the active player moves their character to a different location on their player board, takes one or more of the actions visible on that space (often by playing cards from their hand), then refills their hand to four cards. Cards are allies, items, effects, conditions, and (for some characters) curses. You need to use your cards to fulfill your unique win condition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of the actions allows you to choose another player, draw two cards from that player’s fate deck, then play one of them on that player’s board, covering two of the four action spaces on one of that player’s locations. The fate deck contains heroes, items, and effects from that villain’s movie, and these cards allow other players to mess with that particular villain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlayer Count: 1-4 Players<\/li> Play Time: 90-120 Mins<\/li> Complexity Rating: 2.99 \/ 5<\/li> Average Rating: 7.8 \/ 10 (7K Ratings)<\/li> Action Point Allowance System, Set Collection, Tile Placement, and Worker Placement<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
