Patchwork Valentine Edition

Lookout Games and Asmodee’s Original version of Patchwork is a perfect game for couples to jump into, so what could possibly make it more apt for the occasion? Well, how about a special Valentine Edition, which trades in the original game’s cloth, leather, and buttons for a box of chocolates and combines it with the same addictive gameplay fans know and love. Plus, who doesn’t love chocolate, right?

Patchwork Valentine Edition is available on the Asmodee store and on Amazon for $36.99, and you can find the official description below.

February 14, Valentine’s Day – a special day for all love birds: it is time to show your affection with small (and large) gifts. Maybe a candlelight dinner, a flower bouquet, or – like in this game – a big box of chocolates? Patchwork Valentine is based on the popular mechanics of the classic Patchwork game. Are you in for this “lovely” challenge of putting together the most marvelous box of chocolates for your darling?

Valentine’s Day Funko Pops

You knew Funko was going to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style, and for 2022 they revealed a new set of special Valentine’s Day Pops for Star Wars The Mandalorian fans. That includes Pop figures of Mando (holding a card), Grogu (with a red scarf and eating some candy), Luke Skywalker with Grogu (holding hearts), and Ahsoka Tano (holding Valentine’s cards). All of these are painted red and pink for the occasion, but there’s one that just might be my favorite, which is the Target exclusive Mando with Grogu, who is holding a heart-shaped Love You candy.

You can pre-order the Star Wars Valentine’s Day Pops from Entertainment Earth here. You can pre-order the Mando with Grogu exclusive from Target here.

Jabba’s Palace A Love Letter Game

It doesn’t get much more classic than Z-Man Games and Asmodee’s Love Letter, and while there are several versions of the game on the market, few are as good or addicting as the original. Thankfully Jabba’s Palace bucks that trend and delivers one of my favorite versions of the game by keeping the essence of the original and adding just enough new elements to keep things spicy and take advantage of the Star Wars theme.

Jabba’s Palace A Love Letter Game is available on the Asmodee store and on Amazon for $14.99, and you can find the official description below.

The home of the galaxy’s most notorious gangster is a place of danger and deception. Its vile denizens thrive within, but the members of the Rebel Alliance have their own plans. Based on the beloved card game and set in the Star Wars universe, Star Wars: Jabba’s Palace – A Love Letter Game retains the simple and fun mechanics of the original as you utilize the talents of iconic characters from Return of the Jedi.

Players take turns drawing a card and playing a card, then executing its effect. Cards include characters like Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Salacious Crumb, Jabba the Hutt, and many more. Through members of both the Rebel Alliance and Jabba’s crew, players must use these character’s abilities to outwit and outlast the others, while also using the new Agenda cards to find even more ways to win. In a quick card game of rebel bravery and vile deceit, can you carry out your agenda while outthinking your foes?

Azul

Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to sit down with your significant other and enjoy some relaxing time together, and if you happen to be board game fans, Next Move Games and Asmodee’s Azul might be a brilliant addition to your plans. Azul is a tile-placement game that has you amassing different color and patterned titles as you seek to place them on the board and bring the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora to life. Azul is a relaxing experience filled with strategy and is perfectly suited for 2 players.

Azul is available on the Asmodee store and on Amazon for $39.99, and you can find the official description below.

Azul is a tile-placement game in which players compete for the highest score by claiming tiles and arranging them on their board to score points. Extra points are on offer for collecting sets of the same color of tile, or for creating particular patterns, while there are penalties for taking tiles that you’re unable to use. But every tile that you claim affects what your rivals can take next. You’ll have to make choices that help you without helping them too much!
