Camel Up It’s the most fun you’ll every have betting on Camel Racing. Between the awesome pyramid that pops out the dice you roll, the hefty Camel Meeples (or Cameeples, if you will) that stack up on top of each other, and the totally necessary pop-up palm tree on the board; it’s a delightful time that will have you yelling for a rematch if your long term bets don’t pay off.

Aeon's End I played a friend’s copy of Aeon’s End Legacy years ago, and it has always been my favorite Legacy game to date. This prompted me to buy Aeon’s End: The Legacy of Gravehold when it came out. I played through one mission of it and decided that Aeon’s End is my favorite Deck Building Game of all time.

Hibachi is a light dexterity game where you are trying to buy and sell ingredients so you can be the first chef to complete 3 recipes. The game is chaotic fun as you desperately try to throw your poker chips onto the ingredients you need and hope one of your opponents doesn't knock it off with their chips.

Scythe is a big game feel that’s easy to teach and looks great on the table. It is an innovative 4X game that doesn’t require combat to win. There are lots of expansions (including The Rise of Fenris campaign) to keep the fun coming. It is also locally designed in St. Louis.

It's a Wonderful World came out a couple of years ago, but just recently added two expansions. It's a super tight card drafting/engine builder. It has a really unique cascading mechanism that some build cards will produce in the same round you built them provided that color hasn't produce that round. You have to start the game building cards that give you production but have to know when to pivot to concentrate on victory points to win. The game is only 4 rounds, so will often want to play it again.

Danger Park is a fun game to play with two players, & would also be a fun game to play with a group! Plus the art is super cool.

Just One is a cooperative word guessing game for 3-7 players. One player has to guess a mystery word using clues provided by the rest of the players. However, if any clues are identical, they are canceled out. It's a lot of fun.

Star Wars X-Wing is something that takes people of all ages and walks of life and brings them together with a common passion. I love X-Wing because it is easy to learn and play, but it also has a lot of complexity and depth with gameplay and list building. Not only do you get to choose which classic ships you are going to play, but you also get to choose different upgrades for those ships and who is going to pilot them. If you want to have Luke in an X-Wing, Han in the Millennium Falcon, or Vader in his Tie Fighter, you can. There is nothing cooler than being in a space battle a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!

D&D 5E RPG: The Wild Beyond the Witchlight - A Feywild Adventure is the perfect adventure book if you’ve ever thought about running a campaign, but don’t know where to start! The story’s beginning, which sets the stage in the whimsical Witchlight Carnival, is a great introduction to the many systems in 5th Edition. The Carnival is filled with situations, games, and rides that will teach even veteran players some new and exciting ways to play D&D. Witchlight is a fantastic module for players both old and new.

Ticket to Ride is an oldie but goodie! Words cannot express the joy I felt when my teenage daughter came home from a friend's house and asked if we could play Ticket to Ride. Prior to this, my kids were not interested in any game that I purchased from Miniature Market. While having both offensive and defensive strategy (plus an element of chance), it is light enough for everyone to relax and enjoy. Ticket to Ride is quick and easy to teach to any guests. I have since pushed the envelope and introduced more games, but Ticket to Ride continues to be our 'go to' family game night game.

Magic the Gathering: Innistrad: Midnight Hunt - Bundle features a twist on the formula of Bundles past. Instead of 10 Draft Booster, they contain 8 Set Boosters so you have a higher chance for rarer cards. Also included are 20 foil lands, an alt art promo card, and a glow in the dark oversized spindown die! So the Bundle this time around is a great way to kickstart your collection of Werewolves and Zombies!

Kiwetin is easy to learn, fast paced, and it has all of the chaos energy of UNO. Act fast and make it to the flower before your friends, but watch your step! I love this game!

Calico is simple and quick gameplay, but still strategic. Some elements change each game, so it's not exactly the same every time you play.

King of Tokyo Dark Edition is a limited edition version of the acclaimed game of a similar name. Virtually all of the same hallmarks of the regular edition are in this one; you play a Kaiju looking to Rampage Tokyo. On your turn, you roll three dice in a Yahtzee-like fashion in order to either heal, gain energy to buy upgrade cards, accrue points, or attempt to destroy your opponents. The first monster to get 20 points or the last monster standing is the winner! What sets this version apart is twofold. First, the components and artwork are a step above the original. Second, there’s the Wickedness Track which gives you abilities and perks (tantamount to Power-Ups from other editions), which sets this game even further apart and would warrant it a spot in your collection!

Coup is a great social deception card game that is simple, fast-paced, and always has a unique outcome. I love playing this into the early hours with friends, and it is easy to learn on the fly. Expansions make sure the game is varied enough for individual tastes, and I have not sat down with someone who hasn't enjoyed the core game thoroughly!

Brett - Marvel Champions LCG: Core Set is great to play with many, but I can play it by myself as well. I'm also a big Marvel Dork and they keep putting out amazing content! Like the new Mad Titan's Shadow Expansion.
Drew - Marvel Champions LCG: Core Set is a Cooperative Living Card Game that has you play as some of your favorite Marvel Heroes in order to save the day! You construct the deck for your hero using their specific cards along with a set of cards from a chosen aspect. Just out of the box, there are five heroes and a full complement of cards for each of the four aspects, so the possibilities are immense. The villains you face are just as modular as the heroes as well, as you can supplement their standard kit with other villain sets to ramp up the difficulty. And should you work your way through every combination and permutation from the core box, there are a plethora of expansions to increase your options!
