This is for that friend that finishes the Wordle in three tries and solves the purple clues first in Connections. League of the Lexicon reminds me a bit of Trivial Pursuit - players or teams take turns asking everyone questions from a double-sided card with answers on the back. Questions come in five categories and cover synonyms, word origins, spelling, definitions, archaic words, grammar, linguistic trivia and more.

Oh No, We Crashed! has simple setup and it varies by planet. The spaceship standee is placed in the middle of the table; the system cards are placed face up around the ship and then component cards are placed face down around the component cards. The timer is then set by player count and players read the special rules (if any) on the planet the players crashed.

Games last three rounds, each round lasting two minutes. Each round features a new monster card, plus a Boss Monster card that stays out all game long. Each card features Quests that must be fulfilled for points. For example, the Skeleton monster requires a single slip of paper with an axe and one, two, or three skeletons for two, five, or eight points per slip.
