Exploding Kittens: Exploding kittens is a card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats. In this highly-strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian roulette, players draw cards until someone draws an exploding kitten, at which point They explode, they are Dead, and they are out of the game - unless that player has a defuse card, which can defuse the kitten using things like laser pointers, belly rubs, and catnip sandwiches. All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate, or avoid the exploding kittens.

Fact or Crap: Bunk? Bull? Bologna? Malarkey? No matter what you call it, in Fact or Crap, you need to sift it out from the real facts. This fast-paced trivia game will challenge you to take the bull by the horns and determine what's truth and what's hogwash. The armadillo is the only animal to suffer from leprosy: fact or crap? Your call! 

Fairy Tale Fluxx: Fluxx is a card game in which the cards themselves determine the current rules of the game. By playing cards, you change numerous aspects of the game: how to draw cards, how to play cards, and even how to win. At the start of the game, each player holds three cards and on a turn a player draws one card, then plays one card. By playing cards, you can put new rules into play that change numerous aspects of the game: how many cards to draw or play, how many cards you can hold in hand or keep on the table in front of you, and (most importantly) how to win the game. Fairy Tale Fluxx brings the zaniness of the card game of ever-changing rules to the land of happily ever after! Gather Keepers to fit one of sixteen different fairy tale Goals and you win. Though there are no Creepers, you'll still have to look out for the Witch and the Wolf!

Phase 10: From the makers of UNO comes a rummy-type card game with a challenging and exciting twist! The object of the game is to be the first player to complete 10 varied phases with two sets of three, one run of seven, or seven cards with the same color. The twist is that each Phase to be completed is specific for each hand dealt. Players who complete one Phase advance to the next, but those who don't must keep trying until they do. Each deck features “Wild” and Skip” cards, which add excitement and can help you get out of a sticky situation. A “Wild” card can be used in place of a number card, as well as be used as any color to complete any phase, while a “Skip” card causes your opponent to lose a turn! Be the first person to complete all ten phases to win the game.

**Skips are worth 15 points - not 25

Word Thief: A multi-award winning and internationally acclaimed game where players use letter cards to make words and score points. A strong vocabulary doesn't win the game: competitors can snatch away other players' letters and words, adding an extra element of plotting, planning, and fun.

You've Been Sentenced!: The multi award-winning You’ve been Sentenced! word game uses pentagon-shaped cards with conjugations of funny words, famous names, and familiar places. Each player uses his or her hand of 10 cards to build a grammatically correct sentence, racing the other players while also trying to score the most points per round. Sentences also have to be justifiable in meaning, making players use both creativity and common sense.

You've Got Crabs!: You've got crabs is a team-based party game from the creators of exploding kittens and the oatmeal. Try to collect four of the same card before any of the other teams, then pass a secret signal to your teammate. If your partner sees your signal and yells, "you've got crabs, " you gain a point. If an opponent sees your signal and yells, "you've got crabs, " you lose a point. The team with the most points wins the game. This game is great for parties, or weddings, or long nautical voyages.
