Color Jam (review copy from @lunarpunk.games ) is way more of a hit than I expected it to be! I played it with my 6yo kid the other day and today he wanted to play it with my husband and is teaching him! He hasn’t been enjoying many typical board games recently so this is the perfect game for him!

Very excited about the review copies I just got from @pandasaurusgames.com - especially the Gulo Gulo reprint! My kids, on the other hand, were very excited about the bubble wrap. And the box. So thank you @pandasaurusgames.com for the shipping material! 😆
