News Flash: Mind Up! Pre-Order, Wyrmspan Announced

Mind Up! Pre-Order
Pandasaurus Games has a new, light card game available for pre-order. "A clever card game that'll leave you wanting more. You start with a line of cards on the table equal to the number of players. Each player will pick a card from their hand and simultaneously reveal to make a new line right below. Order these cards from lowest to highest value. Players will then take the card directly above the one they just played and add it to their tableau. These cards will score points at the end of the round depending on their color and the order they were picked."

Reviews
Humblebrag (Gaming With Sidekicks): “We played with teens and adults and I think that’s the perfect mix. I wouldn’t suggest it for younger kids as the trivia aspect can be tough for them to have enough information to pull from. But with mixed teens and up it’s a good fit and one that will keep the challenges and laughs at the table!”

Night of the Ninja (Geek Daily): “I really do like this game. When I got to try it out a few years back at GenCon, we couldn’t get enough of how easy, engaging, and even engrossing it is with the right group.”

The Flow of History (Meeple Mountain): “Of all the games in my collection, The Flow of History is probably the one that I can say has won me over most dramatically. It may not be the best civilization game out there, but it accomplishes much for a small box if you give it the time. I celebrate any game that gets stronger the more I see it.”
