4-5 Years
Outfoxed
2-4 Players
30 Mins
Our most popular kids game. Its best described as co-operative Clue. A fox has stolen a pie (typical) and it’s your job to search for clues and find suspects to help narrow down your options as to who it may be before the culprit flees off the board. It has a fun little gizmo for revealing information which kids love. Even some adults enjoy this one.
Hedgehog Roll
1-4 Players
20 Mins
The 2020 Kids game of the year. Similar to many classic kids games, you are trying to move across the board to the finish line. However to move you roll a fuzzy ball (the hedgehog) which picks up leaves and flowers etc… You get to move to the matching space of each piece you collect. Can be played competitively or co-operatively.
Concept Kids
2-6 Players (Play till your done, no scoring)
Charades on a board, for kids. One player will select a card with an animal on it. Then try and get the others to figure out what it is by placing rings over certain traits on the board e.g. It’s orange, eats meat, lives underground…?
6-7 Years
Bear Down
2-4 Players
25 Mins
Each player is a bear trying to collect as much fish as possible. However, the most fish are near the edge of the waterfall and the river is constantly flowing down stream! The game uses the box to create a 3D waterfall to go over, which makes it very fun to watch someone else fall over the edge (just not your own bear).
Pickomino
2-7 Players
30 Mins
A fantastic game that not only helps kids learn arithmetic, but is really fun. Roll lots of dice and collect your worm tiles, but push your luck too far and you will bust. One of the games we donated to schools…
Rhino Hero
2-4 Players
15 Mins
If Jenga and Uno had a baby, this would be it. You want to rid yourself of your hand of cards, but each becomes a floor in a tower, which if it falls, causes you to lose the game.
8-10 Years
Kingdomino
2-4 Players
15 Mins
We’ve written about this one so much, we just love it. Another game we donated to schools. Learn about it here:
The Key: Murder at the Oakdale Club
1-4 Players
30-40 Mins
It’s another deduction game, played in real time. You need to figure out a range of logic puzzles to solve each case. There are 9 different ones in a box. Whomever figures them out using the least amount of clues will win. Another games that adults will really enjoy playing.
Dragonwood
2-4 Players
30 Mins
D&D Rummy? Pretty much! You will draw cards to form sets (runs of cards or x of a kinds), and then spend them to collect special power cards or bash monsters for points through dice rolling.
MicroMacro: Crime City
1-4 Players
10-30 Mins (depending on the case)
Where’s Waldo? in Murder Town?!! The 2021 Game of the Year is a giant city full of people doing naughty things. 16 cases to solve. Some discretion advised; although not graphic in any way, it does involve crimes. If that’s ok, then, kids love, love, love finding things on a map (and secretly so do adults)
10+ Years
Anomia
2-6 Players (you could play with more)
20 Mins
A speed game in which you are looking for symbol matches on cards. If your card pairs up with someone else’s its a race to offer an example of the catagory on their card (e.g. a first name). Seems easy, but Anomia means, when something is on the tip of your toungue but you can’t say it. One of the most played games in the cafe.
Werewords
3-10 Players
10 mins per game
Kids love hidden role games. This game is a mash up of 20 Questions and Werewolf/Mafia. Games are only 10 minutes long, but that means you can play a few so everyone gets a chance to be the Werewolf.
Project L
1-4 Players
30 Mins
This year’s big cafe hit. It’s a game were you try to fill tiles with tetris style pieces. As the game progresses you’ll accumulate more and more tiles allowing you to make bigger, cleverer moves.
7 Wonders Architects
2-7 Players
30 Mins
A streamlined version of the classic game 7 Wonders. The rules have been simplifed, but the strategy is still there in spades. It looks great on the table as well.
Picture Perfect
2-4 Players (5-6 expansion available)
30 Mins
Fresh off the press, this game is another ‘deductive’-ish game. You have 14 people who all have specific demands (I don’t want to stand next to the table, I do want to be next to a plant). You’ll find out these demands piece by piece over a number of rounds and rearrange the guests to try and accomodate as many of them as possible. Then you take a photo (yes, an actual photo on your phone) and score points depending on how happy they are.
