Offshoots by LindenCo
2+ players | All Ages | Play time varies
"I created Offshoots after realizing that a simple stacking game sparked more joy, tension, and connection than any screen could offer. That moment inspired me to design a game that would grow into lasting memories, just like the branches of a family tree."
Offshoots is a dexterity stacking game where players test their balance, patience, and strategy while sharing big laughs along the way. One wrong branch and the whole tree comes crashing down, sending the room into cheers, gasps, or groans. Perfect for family game nights, breaking the ice with new people, or any gathering where you want everyone leaning in.
Trickadee by Coin Flip Games
3-5 players | Ages 13+| 30+ minutes
A trick-taking, flock-building card game about spotting the cool birds that visit your backyard feeder. Trickadee is not your standard trick-taker. The strategy is not just about the cards in your hand but how you draft birds and use abilities. It features asymmetric suits and a unique follow system that flips normal trick-taking strategy on its head. A fresh take on a classic genre from a Washington designer worth watching.
Rainbow Flip & Slide by Rainbow Rabbits Games
1-6 players | Ages 8+| 15 minutes
Flip tiles to reveal hidden colors, slide them into place, and build your rainbow before anyone else can. Rainbow Flip & Slide is easy to learn, endlessly strategic and the perfect game for families, friends, and anyone who loves a colorful challenge.
