Game Schooler Recommendation

LLAMA, from acclaimed designer Reiner Knizia, is one of those just for fun games we talk about. This is a great family game for up to six players, so everyone can play. We’ve played this game with kids and adults and the game works every time. Even though LLAMA is a great family game, it also goes a long way in teaching number sequencing, risk management, and resilience when the game doesn’t go your way!

Game Overview

In LLAMA, you want to dump cards from your hand as quickly as you can, but you might not be able to play what you want, so do you quit and freeze your hand or draw and hope to keep playing?
