Sea Salt & Paper was an unexpected hit in our family. There's never been a game played with such ferocity and drive as that one.

No forest shuffle, no sea salt and paper :(

Very happy to see Lorcana not on this list, since it means I don't have to complain about excluding the other, more interesting (in terms of gameplay), TCGs that released this year XD.

I can live with this list 🙂

Besides point city and knarr, I have never heard of these games.
