Board Game Spotlight: Redwood

Board Game, Board Game Spotlight

Redwood is a game of movement estimations and angle of view where players have to take pictures of wild animals to compose the most beautiful panorama. The game is for 1 to 4 players, ages 10+ and the games last about 45-60 min. During their turn, each player will have to choose between different movements and their angle of view (materialized by real plastic elements) to catch the animals in the picture (without disturbing them). Collecting animals and decorative elements earn victory points. During the game, new conditions for earning points will appear. The game ends after 5 turns and players will be rewarded if they meet certain conditions to earn more points. 1–4 Players, 45-60 Min Playing Time, Age: 10+ https://youtu.be/sRsEkqApCIM

Board Game Spotlight: Trash Talk

Board Game, Board Game Spotlight

In Trash Talk, you and your fellow raccoons are trying to communicate with one another through the medium that you know best: trash. In the first round of play, three word cards are revealed, and each player (or team) secretly assigns the same three objects to these three words. These objects come from an assortment of odd items included in the box. Does the plastic plant best match the word "double", "dream", or "sharp"? Once both sides have locked in their choices, reveal the objects. If you match all three objects, put those cards aside, add a fourth object, lay out new cards, and play another round; if not, try again with three new cards. If you fail again, you lose the game. If you successfully make your way up…

Board Game Spotlight: Word Traveler

Board Game, Board Game Spotlight

In Word Traveler, you and your friends are tourists who are checking out the sights of a new city. Each player has their own secret map of locations that they want to visit, and they'll need help from the other players to reach them. Taking turns playing the traveler and the locals, you all work together to visit as many of these locations as possible, ideally collecting all of the golden souvenirs that you find. You know only a few words of the local language, however, so the locals — that is, the other players — will do their best to interpret your clues to help get you where you want to go...without getting lost in translation. 2–5 Players, 30–45 Min Playing Time, Age: 10+ https://youtu.be/1T0hQKluj6k
