LURE
A downloadable game
Folks, let's talk about a fun game. A card game. A game for friends, family, strangers, geese, bears, squirrels. A game for the park, for the bar, for after you wash the smell of the wild from your cloak.
This game is about animals, and you. And luring them. It couldn't be more clear to you now... you want to catch these animals.

Lure is a surprisingly complex and strategic game that will make you think of different possibilities to outsmart your friends and family. One would expect there is only so much to do with a card game about catching animals—you get as many as you can before time’s up, and you win. Except, turns out there was more than "gotta get them all", and I really appreciate all the effects of the different animals that allows for very different play styles. Because of this, it doesn’t get old even after playing for hours, and my entire family liked it.
A very fun card game that I very highly recommend to anyone enjoying strategy and competition (well I mean, friendly competition please don’t kill each other for a bear or a goose). You won’t regret it if you get it (even if that means hours of cutting through paper and plastic!)
