YA Games Collection

ABANDON ALL ARTICHOKES
"A bumper-crop of prickly produce has overtaken your patch, and there’s only one choice: abandon all artichokes! Prune your deck by harvesting fresh vegetables, each with a special power that lets you swap, discard, or compost cards." — from the Gamewright website

ANOMIA
"Our minds are positively brimming with all sorts of random information. Normally, it's easy to give an example of a frozen food or a dog breed, but can you do it before your opponent has a chance to blurt out their answer? ANOMIA™ will have everyone laughing out loud while they try to beat each other to the punch." — from the ANOMIA™ game packaging

BANANAGRAMS
"Addictively simple, and simply addictive, BANANAGRAMS is a fast and frantic word game. Players and their opponents aim to use all of their letters to build a word grid in a race to the finish. The first player to use all of their tiles is crowned "Top Banana"!" — from the Bananagrams website

CAHOOTS
"In this colorful card game, cooperation is key! Play cards to one of four piles by matching color or number. Work together as a team to complete series of goals - without communicating what's in your hand. Can you make all piles purple or green? Every card lower than four? All cards add up to ten? There's only one way to win before time runs out: play in CAHOOTS!" — from the Gamewright website

CATAN DICE GAME
For CATAN lovers, here's the fun and challenge of the original game in a dice game format. "Great for play on-the-go or during those moments 'in between'. It is easy to learn and doesn’t take long to play. You can even play it as a single-player game." — from the CATAN website

CODENAMES
A secret agent themed deduction game in which players attempt to guess their team's words while avoiding the words assigned to the other team ~ and of course, the assassin card!

CODENAMES DUET
Similar to the original Codenames secret agent themed game. This version is a cooperative word game in which a team of players follows clues and attempts to find all the words before they run out of turns ~ all while avoiding the assassin card!

IN A PICKLE
"Can a giraffe fit in a phone booth? Does a sofa fit in a shopping cart? It all depends on how you size it up in this game of creative thinking and outrageous scenarios. Try to win a set of cards by fitting smaller things into bigger things." — from the Gamewright website

JOE NAME IT
"Can you name a movie with 2 sequels? How about a music group with 3 members? Test your numbers know-all in this fast-playing “name it to claim it” party game. Draw a category card and then fill in the blank with the number you rolled. Be the first person to name something that fits." — from the Gamewright website

MILLS BORNES
"Classic card game of cross-country racing, challenging you to outrace your opponents as you dodge the hazards they put in your way. Be the first to reach 1,000 miles and win the race!" — from the Asmodee website

MONOPOLY DEAL
A fast paced version of the classic Monopoly game played with cards ~ and yes, this quick game only takes about 15 minutes to play!

PROOF!
"Work that mental math magic as you race to find creative equations hidden among nine number cards. Keep what you find and collect the most cards to win!" — from the Proof Math Game website

QUIDDLER
Players compete by spelling words from an ever-increasing number of letter cards in their hands, each card worth various points.

SET
All players compete simultaneously and try to claim sets of cards, a set consisting of three cards whose features (shape, color, shading, or number) are either all alike or all different.

SKIPBO
"Use skill and strategy to create sequencing stacks of cards in ascending order. The first player to use all the cards in their personal Stockpile wins." — from the Mattel website

SPLURT!
"Flip a card and be the first to shout out an answer that matches the clues. Can you name an animal containing 5 letters? A song ending in E?" — from the Gamewright website

TACO CAT GOAT CHEESE PIZZA
"A fast-paced card game with a twist: It’s an actual tongue-twister. It mixes a word relay with a matching game, then throws in visual cues and physical humor for absolute mayhem." — from the Apartment Therapy website

UNO
Be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand.

UNO FLIP
"Played like regular UNO, except there are two sides to the deck of cards: a “light” side and a “dark” side. Start by playing with the Light Side, but whenever someone plays a FLIP card, the deck is flipped over (as are the cards in your hand) and now everyone must play off of the Dark Side of the cards." — from the UNO website
