When it comes to party games, I find that they can be pretty hit or miss. Some of them are really unique and entertaining, while others are basic re-skins of other popular party games (I’m looking at you, every Apples to Apples-spinoff…). So when Words of a Feather showed up…

A while back, I was introduced to Cryptid and really enjoyed it. Trying to deduce your opponents’ clues while not giving away too much information about your own? Racing to find the location of the Cryptid through pattern recognition and strategy? It’s an overall *chef’s kiss* from me. So when…
