My Favourite Things

Publisher
Play For Keeps
Age Range

Player Range
3-6

My Favourite Things is an innovative trick taking party game played over two phases. In the first, you’ll compose a list of your top 5 things in a category given to you by another player, and write them down on oversized dry erase cards. In the second, you’ll play tricks using another player's cards, trying to deduce the value of the cards as you go. Play the most favourite thing into each trick to win!

Because everyone is playing with someone else’s favourite things, each trick will provoke unique and interesting conversations - does Paul like Power Rangers more than Anthony likes Banana Milkshake or Archie likes Italian Disco? These are the judgement calls you’ll need to make in My Favourite Things.

The String Railway Collection

Age Range

Player Range

String Railway is a simple, tactile game in which players create their own map directly onto the table, complete with borders, mountains and rivers, and then build atop it a vibrant, ever-growing network of railways, all of it made out of string. Its follow up, String Railway: Cubed, combines the irresistible premise of Sting Railway with the crunchy decision making of games like Railways of the World, producing an accessible mid-weight network building puzzle.

The String Railway Collection packs these two brilliant games from renowned designer Hisashi Hiyashi into one small box.
