In Kingdom Crossing, players assist Queen Beavery in constructing a new bridge to connect her four regions, ensuring she can spend time with all her subjects.
  • Sandcastles – Perfectly timed for beach weather, this game is designed for 2-6 players and has a playtime of approximately 20 minutes. Players draft tiles to build their own sandcastle in a personal 5×5 grid, balancing strategy and timing, as once a tile is selected, players cannot participate in that round further.

Players act as wolverines on a mission to rescue Gulo Junior from a nest guarded by swamp vultures, making it a delightful game for families and gatherings.
