We think you rock, too!<br> <br> <br> <br> What We’ve Been Playing<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew’s brother and sister came to visit and they played three-headed Magic: The Gathering. Now Asher wants to play! It became an important learning experience for how to work through frustration.<br> <br> <br> <br> Unmatched (still good… and we figured out how to play it over video-chat, like we mentioned in <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-196-remote-gaming/">episode 196</a>.)<br> <br> <br> <br> Cartographers (from Thunderworks Games) – apparently Andrew is the artistic one, at least when it comes to games like this?<br> <br> <br> <br> Cities: Skylines (from KOSMOS) which is still incredibly frustrating and hard.<br> <br> <br> <br> Megacity: Oceania (from HUB Games) was a nice palate-cleanser and feels a lot more productive. We made a lovely city!<br> <br> <br> <br> Bees: The Secret Kingdom (from Awaken Realms Lite / Van Ryder Games) – check our <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/bees-secret-kingdom/">SNAP review.</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Clip Cut Parks (from Renegade)<br> <br> <br> <br> Koi (from Smirk &amp; Laughter Games) – we published <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/koi-game/">our review</a> today.<br> <br> <br> <br> IceCOOL (from Brain Games)<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/Cartographers_final-min.jpg?fit=800%2C713"></a>Cartographers final sheets<a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/MegaCity-min.jpg?fit=728%2C800"></a>Megacity: Oceania<a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.thefamilygamers.com/wp-content/uploads/ClipCut_in_play-min.jpg?fit=800%2C738"></a>Clip Cut Parks<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="/tag/nick">Nick</a> and <a href="/tag/izzy">Izzy</a> share a fact about 200 and what they love about listening to (and contributing to!) The Family Gamers.<br> <br> <br> <br> Back Talk<br> <br> <br> <br> First, Peter Ellis tells us that we were BOTH right in our argument about when summer starts. (The solstice on June 20 began Astronomical Summer, but Meterological Summer started June 1.)<br> <br> <br> <br> Also: we asked on Facebook what people’s favorite memory was of the show and we wanted to share some of those with you:<a href="..."></a>
