Freddi Fish was a defining game of my childhood. I remember playing with my brother on my dad's computer and it was so magical! I learned a lot, including what a deed to a house was, since you had to find that at the end of one of the games. In fact, I liked all the Humongous games, and I think Pajama Sam and Spy Fox would be upset if they were not included here! Fun for all ages.

How could this be a blog for a game company without mentioning Pokemon?? Ok, to be honest, I only played this board game like one time at my cousin's house. But to think of all the countless hours I spent replaying the games for the game boy advance - wow. That was a lot. Pro tip for playing in the back seat of a car on a long road trip at night: if you rotate the game boy at just the right speed, you can use the light from the passing streetlights to illuminate the display.

Wet Head is a hilarious game! The idea is that you fill the hat with water (preferably ice-cold) and then you pass it around! Each player has to draw a straw from the hat, and if you pull the wrong one, you get cold water dumped on you! What I love about this game is I have never been the Wet Head. It seems my brother Jake is always going home with a towel :)

Dominion is a staple of the board game history, as it first introduced the concept of the deck-builder! I've been playing for some years now (for free!) at dominion.games as well as the Dominion League. There's even the Steam version which is super fun because you can take on the computer (which is pretty good!). I'd really recommend this game to anyone who shows a mild interest in games. It's great for all ages, though you have to be able to shuffle cards if you plan on playing in person :)

Continuing the theme of the deck-builder games, Clank introduces a new twist with the added mechanic of a dungeon that you explore. So while you're building a deck, you also pass through a dungeon and fight various monsters! But don't worry, it's not too scary, except for the dragon Nictotraxian! (Hardcore Dire Wolf fans will recognize her from Eternal). The clank cubes are very fun and this game works for any number of players 2-4. Just note that you have to be able to shuffle cards if you plan on playing in person :)

The result of a successful Kickstarter campaign, Reap brings delight to the topic of death. I like it because of the reaper cards, which have fantastic art and concepts like "canned reaper" and the "peeper reaper". Check it out today! It's great fun for 2-4 people. One note is that at least one person in your group will have to be able to shuffle cards. This probably isn't too hard though.
