This kid and adult strategy board game is easy to learn, about 45 minutes to play, and lets you accommodate skill levels from absolute beginners to intermediate strategy gamers.

A tile placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape represented on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland, or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played so that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etc.

Finally, a vacation! This year, you're going to an idyllic village in the mountains. After a three-hour delay, you arrive at your vacation rental and find a brochure for a local castle. The next day, you get up and go to the castle. You enter the castle and find yourself in a magnificent throne room. Suddenly the big, wooden door locks behind you and you realize that maybe (again) This was not such a good idea. The castle is full of mysteries. Only if you can solve all of the puzzles together in time will you escape.

Discover ecology through an engaging science game! Players create ecosystems featuring wild animals like bears, foxes, and rabbits in various environments such as streams, forests, and meadows. They are rewarded for promoting sustainability and diversity within these ecosystems.
