Treasure of the Dragons
Keep flipping cards for treasure until a spider takes the lot.

A memory game with a push-your-luck engine bolted on. Forty-nine cards lie face down, and you may keep flipping as long as your nerve holds. Stop voluntarily and you collect sets, flip a spider and you lose everything you just uncovered.
Who it's for
Families with children from about five upward, and adults who don't mind losing to a six-year-old with a better memory.
Not for you if…
You want strategy or fair outcomes. Luck decides most turns, adults with sharp memories will dominate unless they hold back, and there is little here for an all-grown-up table.
Vibe's take
Squeals and held breath. The whole table shouts advice at whoever is deciding whether to press their luck one more time.
