Abalone is a solid abstract strategy game that is simple enough for the whole family to enjoy which unfortunately has a potentially fatal flaw that has to be addressed in order to truly enjoy the game.

I Spy Spooky Mansion is an okay game that is surprisingly challenging at times, but it relies on too much luck and fails to really differentiate itself.
