Spot It is our top game around the house. Never heard of Trigger. Should I look
into it?
My 9-year-old loves spot it and rat-a-tat cat (also a great game for kids).

Where could you buy a game like Puerto Rico? Would Walmart/Target have it?

Rule of thumb - if you can buy the game at Walmart or Target, it's probably not

Target carries a much better selection of games than Walmart.

We've enjoyed Spot It and Trigger as two quick and fun games.

I'm not a big Eurogamer, but Terra Mystica is pretty good. I also recently

Terra Mystica is great, but long and complex enough that I would not recommend
