This Week’s New Releases!

Zombie Kittens

2 - 5 players | 15 minutes | £20

Zombie Kittens is still the highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette that you love, but it introduces a brand new deck of cards so that your game doesn’t end just because you blow up. Only living players can win the game, but dead players now get to keep the cards in their hands when they explode. They also get to play certain cards to torment the living players. And they can even come back from the dead to win the game. Zombie Kittens can be played by itself or can be combined with Exploding Kittens.

Patios

2 - 5 players | 45 minutes | £20

Join the Patios festival in Córdoba on May! With the help of gardeners and neighbors, you will create the most wonderful place with flowers and beautiful balconies. Use your traditional canes with water and be careful with the Sun because it can dry your flower pots.

During three rounds, you will ask for help to different characters to get flower cards with to build your patio around your starting well card. Be careful, because maybe this character you want to use will give cards to another person, too. When the visitors arrive to the first position of the character row, the round is finished and you must show your patio. If you managed to get many flowers of the same color, you will score many points.

Who will win the Patios conquest this year?
