Starlink by @blueorangegames

We learned how to play Starlink today. This game is more of a party type game which my daughter tends to prefer so it was a hit with her. It is similar to Pictionary in that one player is drawing a picture and others are trying to guess. The big difference is that you are constrained to drawing your picture in the form of a constellation...straight lines between stars across the night sky. Bonus points are scored if if you can draw your constellation to fit in within the viewport of a telescope which is pretty tough to do with some of the prompts. I think this will be fun to pair with staying up late this summer and looking for real constellations in the night sky!

Peek-a-Mouse! By @gigamicusa

From the product page:

A family of little mice has settled in your house! The cheeky ones don’t mind stealing a few items from you to decorate their mini-home. In their absence you can’t resist the urge to peak in their windows to find out more. What happened to my ring? And where are the keys? What are they doing with my button?

Together, the players will observe the different rooms of the house through the windows before the flashlight goes out.

Then they need to work together to remember the location and direction of the tokens to find as many objects as possible before the little mice return!

A cooperative game in 3 dimensions with different levels of difficulty to adapt to the age of the players.

Preview for One Card Wonder ::

In the game, players are collecting and managing resources, to see who can be the first player to complete their wonder first and win the game. One Card Wonder introduces resource collection & management, and has a fun and engaging gameplay, that is still simple enough for both kids and adults to pick up.

In the video we look at how it plays from an adult and kid's perspective, and how it stacks up as a family game.

Is this a good game for your family?

Happy May the 4th!!! This review is brought to you by @mr.boardgamebabies , our resident Star Wars expert.

Star Wars Carcassonne by @zmangames_

🌌: Tile laying path creation
👥: 2-5 players
🎂: 6+
⏲️: 30-45 minutes

In this game, you take turns picking up a tile and placing it to make trade routes and asteroid fields. You can use your meeples to claim those, and planets, to score points. You can also battle for areas to gain control.

Essentially this is regular old Carcassonne, well known from its place in the "hobby board gaming" starter pack. However there are some rule twists. There is no scoring meadows (or in this case, the inky blackness of empty space), and tied ownership of asteroid fields, trade routes, and planets is settled by a combat dice rolling system.

As a huge fan of Star Wars who never owned Carcassonne (don't come after us!), this version elevates Carcassonne to a functional place in our collection with the theme and the dice battle (we find the original just so-so - sorry). The actual game play is a smart and snappy relatively simple, but well balanced puzzle. It is a nice step up from Karuba Jr. and is an excellent way to rope in non-gamers, or introduce kids to slightly more complex games.

My only recommendation to enhance the game is a rule requiring all trash talk to be in the form of Star Wars quotes. For those that need assistance, here is a little beginner level stuff.

⭐"You may fire when ready" - for the gamer who takes too long.
⭐"I thought they smelled bad on the outside" - for making them doubt their hygiene.
⭐" All too easy."
⭐" I am your father."
⭐"I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain."
⭐" Do. Or do not. There is no try."

If you are a Star Wars fan, and like Carcassonne this one should definitely be if your collection, though we can say from experience, it can be incredibly hard to find! There are many versions of Carcassonne out there though, so if you don't like Star Wars or can't find this one, I am sure there is a version out there for you!
