[Ad- gifted product] Stomp the Plank is one of those board games that you take out of the box, realize that you need to use the box, and are instantly impressed. All of the pieces; the boat, planks, and the characters, are absolutely fantastic! It’s a very easy game to learn, but difficult to master when it comes to the luck aspect of the game. It’s one of those push your luck style games, this time with a story about stealing treasure from a Pirate!

[Ad- gifted products] I feel like Spy Guy Fantasy is the perfect version of Spy Guy for our family. We took this tabletop game to our bi-weekly Geek Retreat board game night, where we spread it out onto the table. Amelia and Robin commented on how our board games have been on the longer side physically lately, taking up more and more of the table. This game was another that took up a big spread, with each of us sitting around it.
