At SaltCon earlier this year I met game designer Tucker Smedes as he introduced some friends and I to The Pirate’s Flag.
We had a great time playing the game and enjoyed getting to know Tucker. He’s the owner of publishing company CardLords and they’ve just launched a Kickstarter game for a very family friendly game called Fallen Treasures.
I asked Tucker to tell me a bit more about this latest game. Since it’s very family-focused, I thought you’d be interested in hearing more about the game as well.

Over the coming 7 days we’re reviewing 7 new board games and card games your kids may love.
Since kids games have very simple rules, each review will be a shorter than our typical reviews. As such, we’re also going to review a couple games at a time. And we’ll end with a game giveaway!
We’re starting off with 3 games that can help your kids with math:
* Monster Crunch: The Breakfast Battle Game
* This Game Goes to Eleven
* Make 7
Tom & Jerry was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. Jerry would antagonize Tom to no end in every episode with lots of slapstick antics.
No matter how hard he tried, Tom could never get rid of Jerry.
For some reason, playing Head of Mousehold by FoxMind took me back to those simple, lazy Saturday mornings.

One look at the box art for Blue Lagoon and we know exactly what you’ll think.
That’s because we, and everyone else we’ve shown the game to has said the exact same thing, “Is this Moana, the Board Game?”
Nope, it’s not.
It’s Blue Lagoon – another Gen Con 2018 release from Blue Orange Games!
And while there’s no “Maui, shapeshifter, Demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men” to be found anywhere in Blue Lagoon, you will find lots of island settlers and colorful huts to dot the board.

Suppose you’re relaxing in your castle or exploring the beauty of your kingdom (minding your own kingly business) when all of a sudden, a huge giant stomps through your field. Would you be scared, upset, or angry?
Would it make a difference if you knew that giant wandered into your kingdom because your rival kingdom sent him your way? I bet you’d start looking for ways to send him right back!
Thats just the way it goes in Kingdomino: Age of Giants – an expansion game for either Kingdomino or Queendomino.

Century: Golem Edition is a fantastic board game for the whole family!
It’s a game that both young and old players can all enjoy playing together. The game play is straightforward yet also offers enough choices due to the variety of cards and when they appear to keep players coming back for more.
Young players will love collecting crystals as well as exchanging them for more powerful combinations of crystals. And older players will realize there’s also depth of strategy involved in the choices they make.
