*Star: Box Cover Front
Rating: 3.8/5

*Star Review

*star kept us on our toes with every turn! The art pops, the tactics are snappy, but let one pal get ahead—suddenly it's catch-up city. Still, we laughed a lot and would play again.

Focus: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4.5/5

Focus Review

Focus is all about stacking, outsmarting, and pretending you didn’t just make a huge mistake. It’s smart, tight, and fair—perfect for folks who like brains over luck (and don’t flip tables).

Delta: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4.5/5

Delta Review

Delta mixes strategy with just enough chaos to keep my friends from falling asleep. Quick setup, top-notch pieces, and plenty of chances to mess with opponents. If you hate luck-based games, you'll want to check this one out.

Pizza: Box Cover Front
Rating: 3.8/5

Pizza Review

Pizza is the cheesy chaos your game night needs. It's quick, goofy, and packed with toppings—and arguments. Just watch out for its randomness, or you'll be left with pineapple when you wanted pepperoni.

Shazamm!: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4/5

Shazamm! Review

Shazamm! throws two wizards into a magical tug of war with spells and sneaky bluffs. It’s fast, funny, and flashy, but watch out for the wild swings of luck. Still, I kept wanting to play just one more round.

Pirates!: Box Cover Front
Rating: 3.5/5

Pirates! Review

Pirates! is a riot of ship-stealing, treasure-grabbing chaos where strategy battles luck—usually luck wins. If you like unpredictable laughs and backstabbing friends, set sail. If you want fairness… maybe walk the plank instead.

Shazam Review

Shazam throws you into a whirlwind of chaos and laughter. It's easy to learn, wild to play, and perfect if you want fun over strategy. Just beware the randomness—lucky socks might help you win!

Pirates Review

Pirates is loud, silly fun with flashy art and a chunky treasure chest. You’ll curse bad luck as much as you’ll laugh. Great for a casual group, but serious gamers might want a sturdier ship.

Rating: 4.5/5

Museum Review

Museum turns me from a bumbling collector to a cunning curator in one round. Its artwork is a showstopper, but the real magic is in the fair, puzzle-like gameplay—no mean tricks, just clever moves and laughs.

Goodwill: Box Cover Front
Rating: 3.8/5

Goodwill Review

Goodwill is the party game where you prove just how trustworthy your friends really are. Quick to learn, full of laughs, and even better if you like bluffing and the occasional dramatic meltdown over questionable honesty.
