Apples to Apples is the game of hilarious comparisons that’s always ready for a party or a reunion bringing friends and family together for fun! In each round, a new judge draws a Description Card. Players have to decide which card in their hand matches the Description in play, and hope the judge thinks their card is the best.

Inspired by the medieval fortress in southern France of the same name, Carcassonne is a tile-laying game in which players fill in the countryside around the fortified city. Players choose from tiles that depict cities, roads, monasteries, and fields; each new tile placed creates an ever-expanding board on which players can then add their followers. Players score points by having followers on features as they\u2019re completed. The player who makes the most strategic placements of tiles and followers will score the most points and win the game.<\/p>\n
Compounded is a game about building chemical compounds through careful management of elements, a fair bit of social play and trading, and just a bit of luck. In Compounded, players take on the roles of lab managers, hastily competing to complete the most compounds before they are finished by others \u2013 or destroyed in an explosion. Some compounds are flammable and will grow more and more volatile over time; take too long to gather the necessary elements for those compounds and a lot of hard work will soon be scattered across the lab.<\/p>\n
