    Been in a bit of a gaming drought lately, but this week on vaca, I got to introduce some card games to the fam.

    The ones that went over the best were 535 and Don’t LLAMA. The kids joined in the latter, and there were lots of laughs.

    My personal fav was Yokai Septet, a trick-taking game. Such an interesting balance between needing to capture points while avoiding busting due to winning too many tricks.

    For a pure deck builder, I really enjoy Paperback by Tim Fowers. The gameplay is Dominion-style, but players spell words with letter cards. You can “buy” new letters each round which cycle thru your deck. Very smooth and accessible - you don’t even need to be good at word games to have a good time with it. As far as I can tell, it’s English-centric, unsure if other langs are supported.

    When playing with kids, I’d reach for Sushi Go or Abandon All Artichokes.
