Delta turns wildlife planning into a clever tussle of cards, habitats, and timing. Luck nudges your plans, but smart choices usually win. Just watch those tiny icons—they can make your first game feel like reading squirrel tracks.
Museum turns card collecting into a clever race for glory. Draft wisely, build tasty exhibit combos, and watch your friends steal the artifacts you wanted. It’s smart, tense, and only mildly rude.
Goodwill turns every round into a friendly haggle. Smart trades matter most, though lucky moments can wobble the score. With bright pieces and plenty of table talk, it makes a cheerful night out.
King mixes clever trick-taking with changing goals, keeping every hand tense and every mistake painfully memorable. Luck gets a seat at the table, but smart choices still run the show.

Colorado turns clue sharing into a lively team puzzle. Smart choices matter more than luck, and each game brings fresh paths, laughs, and just enough chaos to keep everyone talking.
