Flip over cards one by one without flipping the same number twice.
Sound easy? Think again! This isn't just any deck of cards… In Flip 7 there's only one 1 card, two 2's, three 3's, etc plus a bunch of special cards that can score you extra points, give you a second chance, or freeze you or your opponents in your tracks.
Are you the type of player to play it safe and bank points before you bust, or are you going to risk it all and go for the bonus points by flipping over seven in a row? Press your luck meets strategy in this addictive card game that's sure to be the greatest card game you've ever played!
A card game about collectively baking bread, while trying to let the others do the work.
You're all employees in the L'Oaf bakery, but you're just here to get paid with as little effort as possible. When it gets to baking bread, you rather let others do the work. However, you don't want the bosses to catch you loafing. If you collectively don't bake enough bread, the lazy among you might just get fired!
Every round, players get an order with the amount of bread they collectively need to bake. Each baker secretly contributes a work card from their hand. Failing to meet the order means the baker who contributed the least loses reputation with the bosses. Otherwise, the baker who contributed the most will gain reputation. Once 5 orders have failed or succeeded, the baker with the most value left in their hand wins the game. However, if the group failed 5 orders, all bakers with a negative reputation are fired before scoring!
Inspired by classic arcade-fighting games, Tag Team is an auto battler combined with a deck-building game. Make your team of two fighters from the twelve available — each with their own techniques and special moves — and build an unbeatable synergy by combining their two unique decks!
In more detail, you start with a deck of only two cards, and the fight unfolds automatically: Flip your cards one at a time and apply their effects. At the end of each round, you get to turn up the heat on the opposing team by strategically adding new cards to program your deck — but without reordering the cards already present. Determine what makes your tag team tick, play devastating combos, and dominate your opponent by deftly blocking their attacks. Timing is everything if you want to emerge victorious and knock out your foe!
We wrote in detail about this game in one of our previous newsletters. Also, there is a brand new Arthurian Themed expansion that was just recently released.
The World of Wingspan just got a lot bigger with the addition of Finspan! Elizabeth Hargrave helped designers David Gordon and Michael O'Connell develop this game into something that is familiar-yet-different from Wingspan, delving deep into the fish theme.

In Finspan, the fish you discover over 4 weeks will generate a series of benefits as you dive deeper into the ocean.
