The holiday-themed 12 Days takes the familiar "Twelve Days of Christmas" song and twists it into a quick-playing card game. Over twelve rounds, players try to re-gift unpopular cards while keeping cards that are strong enough to win the day, while also keeping a careful eye for bonus scoring at the end of the game. The gift deck consists of eighty cards: one partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, and so on up to twelve drummers drumming, as well as one card each for Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Shuffle this deck, then deal each player twelve cards. Each round a new holiday card is up for grabs, with the cards ranked from 1 to 12 and being worth 1-12 points. In a round, a player: Gifts a present to the player to his left, Opens presents and tries to win the day with the best present, and Buys a new gift to refill his hand. More specifically, all players simultaneously pass one face-down gift card to their left-hand neighbor. Then everyone chooses one gift card in hand and reveals them simultaneously. Whoever plays the lowest gift card wins that round's holiday card; in the event of a tie for lowest, with the Clauses counting as zero, then the next lowest card wins. Each player then draws one card to bring their hand back to twelve cards. After twelve rounds, players score points for each holiday card they've collected. In addition, whoever holds the most gift cards for each rank scores as many points as that rank, with all tied players scoring in the event of a tie. Whoever has the most points wins. Happy holidays!

In Baby Blues every player is working in their neighbor's day care center. You have five babies under your charge, and you want to keep your babies happy. Happy babies score points at the end of the game, crying babies do not. You'll play cards to make other babies cry and keep your babies happy. Each turn you can play as many Green (good) cards and one Red or Orange (bad) card on one of your opponents. Red & Orange cards are misfortune events that make babies cry - like poopy diapers and taking their pacifier. Green cards comfort your babies, changing diapers and feeding. Any unhappy baby at the end of your turn will cry and is out of the game. The game ends when one player has only crying babies. All the babies that aren't crying are flipped over and their points totaled. The player with the most points wins!

Bears vs Babies is a card game in which you build handsome, incredible monsters who go to war with horrible, awful babies. The shared deck of cards consists of bear parts (and other monster parts) and baby cards. When you draw a part, you use it to build a monster for yourself; when you draw a baby, it goes in the center of the table. When babies are provoked, they attack, and anyone who has fewer monster parts than the number of attacking babies loses their monster; everyone with more parts than babies defeats this infantile army and scores.

You are a sheep farmer. You have raised a surprisingly similar flock of sheep to all of your neighboring farms. Because of this none of you can tell who is the finest at raising sheep. A cunning contest of sheep trading results! Each farmer secretly selects which sheep to trade with each neighbor, and which to send to the grazing fields. Lying and deception are of course the most important tools of any sheep trader. But beware – each farmer also has a wolf in his arsenal! Don't let the wool get pulled over your eyes! Each card in Bedlamb contains unique flavor text, and upwards of 30% of them are better than that wool joke.

In Blurble, you need to think quickly — and obliquely — to grab more cards than any other player. Each round, the active player takes a stack of face-down image cards and holds a duel with each other player in the game. The player flips over a card between themselves and the player to their left, and whoever first yells out a word that starts with the same letter as the image shown on the card wins that card. Proper names are not allowed. For instance, if the card shows a dog, words such as "drain" or "dairy" would be acceptable, whereas "David" or "Denmark" would not. After this duel, the active player duels with the next player in clockwise order until they've faced all of the players at the table. The game can last multiple rounds or to a predetermined point total.

Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition is a new party game that’s just like Cards Against Humanity, except it’s written for kids and adults to play together. Each round, one player asks a question from a black card, and everyone else answers with their funniest white card. We didn’t just take the adult stuff out of the original game: we wrote a whole new game from scratch and tested it with thousands of families. If you like to laugh at stuff like “filling my butt with spaghetti,” this is the game for you. If you don’t, go fill your butt with spaghetti! —description from the publisher

Castle Dice is a light dice-drafting game in which the players have been ordered by the king to build castles along the borders of the kingdom.

These resources are then used to hire workers and improve castles.

At the end of seven turns, the player who has built the greatest castle (earned the most victory points) wins the game!

Codenames: Marvel combines the hit social word game Codenames, while featuring characters and locations from the Marvel Universe including, Spider Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers and Doctor Strange. In Codenames, two teams — S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra in this case — compete to see who can guess all of their field agents (identified by either a word or picture) correctly first — but those field agents are hiding in plain sight in a 5x5 grid that includes the agents of the other team, neutral words, and an assassin that will cause you to lose the game immediately if you guess it. One person on each team is a spymaster and only these two know which agents belong to each team. Spymasters take turns giving one-word clues that can help their teammates identify multiple agents on the board. Their teammates try to guess agents of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team — and everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
