Summary: As the Family Gamers, we have a wide variety of games on our shelves. We feel that having variety in your collection is very important. But first, what we’ve been playing!<br> <br> What We’ve Been Playing:<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2unnjcv" rel='"nofollow'>Let Them Eat Shrimp</a> – by the fantastic Dr. Finn (of Herbaceous and The Little Flower Shop).<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KJz1sT" rel='"nofollow'>Deep Sea Adventure</a> – we’ve found that the mechanics are as solid at 6 players as they are at 2 players. Definitely a favorite.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KGMly2" rel='"nofollow'>Tea Dragon Society</a> – it’s available now! Expect a review within the next two weeks.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KTQle0" rel='"nofollow'>Bananagrams</a> for the first time ever! (As we mentioned <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BkVvwOqBYOK/?taken-by=familygamersaa">on Instagram</a>) It’s a great word-building game that’s much more approachable than Scrabble.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2zmmeHx" rel='"nofollow'>Tzolk’in</a> – Andrew loves this engine-building game<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2u3b4Co" rel='"nofollow'>Kingdomino</a> as a palate-cleanser after Tzolk’in. Love how speedy it is! (We <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/kingdomino/">reviewed Kingdomino</a> about a year ago.)<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2u3bfh2" rel='"nofollow'>Chupacabra: Survive the Night</a> (from Steve Jackson Games and Haywire Group) – roll your dice for livestock and monsters. Use your chupacabra to eat your neighbor’s animals. Collect all the dice to win.<br> Monster Match (see our <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/monster-match-can-you-do-the-match/">review</a>) – the more we play this, the more we like it for mixed-age groups.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2zhWOdS" rel='"nofollow'>Machi Koro</a> (with the Harbor expansion) – we used to like this a lot. Played a game on a whim and it went really long; almost 90 minutes.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2uf6Vul" rel='"nofollow'>Unreal Estate</a> (from Grand Gamers Guild) – glad we’ve finally tried it!<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2u0eCp1" rel='"nofollow'>Flash Point: Fire Rescue</a> (Urban Structures) – we lost on the very last die roll.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KWQkpE" rel='"nofollow'>Downforce</a> – Anitra won for the first time ever. It’s such a fun game – see <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/downforce-review/">the review</a> that Corey wrote.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KFa6q8" rel='"nofollow'>Secrets</a> – a hidden identity game. Not bad, but we had fun in spite of the game, not because of it.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2zhT3oZ" rel='"nofollow'>Spaceteam</a> – played this twice with some new friends. It’s so fast-paced that they seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the first play, but ready to try again. The whole game is over in 5 minutes. “like Pit, but co-op.”<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KZTI3a" rel='"nofollow'>Ancestree</a> (see <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/ancestree-review/">our review</a>) – still love it.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2KZU9uk" rel='"nofollow'>Super Kitty Bug Slap</a> – Claire’s favorite speed-matching game.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2u5Ye6n" rel='"nofollow'>Sushi Go Party</a> – we tried new combinations we hadn’t tried before. The “spoon” card lets you steal a specific card from someone else’s hand, a little bit like Go Fish.<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2u4kfm6" rel='"nofollow'>Century: Golem Edition</a> (check out Nick’s <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/century-spice-road/">Century: Spice Road review</a>) – it’s easy to understand, with very straightforward mechanics.<br>
