▪️ Omens from Spiral Éditions is a new team card game from designer Maxime Rambourg (The LOOP, Dracula vs Van Helsing). For 4-6 players and plays in 20-30 minutes.
From BGG:
In Omens, you team up to get rid of your cards until you have only one left in your hand.
Each of your cards interacts with the cards played by your partner, as well as those of your opponents, so you need to play them at the right moment! The team that sheds its cards first wins.

▪️ Shape it from Randolph is a new cooperative party game from designer Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance (Decrypto). You have to mind-meld with all players to best guess the correct answer with the creations you make using the available shapes. A game for 2-7 players!
From the newsletter:
Shape It is a cooperative game in which players move shapes to try to guess a word. What word is your group trying to illustrate? That’s the game – you don’t know for sure! But it has to be on one of the 5 cards on the table. When it comes time to guess – will you all see the same word in the shapes you’ve placed? Good luck!
