Mark Rosewater yes, that Mark Rosewater, Magic's head designer spent over twenty years tinkering with this one, and it finally exists. Mood Swings is a brand-new trading card game where the cards are literally your feelings: Joy, Triumph, Courage, Melancholy, and 129 more. Play a card each round, tally the scores, win three rounds and take the game. Cards stick around and stack effects, some of them rewrite the rules entirely, and a full game wraps in five to ten minutes.

Each 1st Edition box has 45 randomized cards from a pool of 133 everything 24 players need right out of the box. Since no two boxes match, trading with your friends (or grabbing a second box) is half the fun. This was a Secret Lair direct-only release, so once our copies are gone, that's the show.

Easy to teach, quick to play, and just spicy enough to start friendly arguments. Perfect between rounds at the shop or as the game you leave on the coffee table.
