Concept Kids Animals is a cooperative version of the game Concept, adapted for kids who don’t yet know how to read. Taking turns, players attempt to make the others guess an animal by playing pawns on the icons on the game board. Concept Kids Animals offers 110 animals to be guessed. This communication game for children will allow them to discover the world of animals in a fun and innovative way.

Players of all ages can now venture across North America by train in Ticket to Ride: First Journey. With a new map and simplified rules, First Journey is the perfect way to introduce young players to the game of cross-country travel. Just like in Ticket to Ride, players collect train cards, claim routes, and try to connect cities coast-to-coast. Climb aboard, young travelers, your First Journey awaits!

Timeline Classic is an incredibly engaging educational trivia game. Innovative gameplay makes learning about a specific topic in the past easy, enjoyably competitive, and highly replayable. Players start with one randomly drawn card in the middle of the table to form the timeline, and on their turn, they place a card before or after it – depending on when they think this happened. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins!
2-6 players, ages 8+ | 15 minutes
Patchwork is a light, two-player board game where players are each attempting to piece together a quilt using oddly shaped, Tetris-like tiles. Players use buttons to purchase new tiles to add to their quilt, but they must be picky in which tiles to select as buttons also count as victory points at the end of the game.
2 players, ages 8+ | 30-45 minutes
Dixit Odyssey is both a standalone game and an expansion for the original Dixit game of storytelling and guesswork where your imagination unlocks the tale. Each round, cards are revealed. Their connection: one enigmatic sentence. Be careful! Only one picture represents the correct answer, the others are decoys. To find the correct image, let your imagination be your guide.
3-12 players, ages 8+ | 30-45 minutes
