Flip 7
Flip 7 is a card game originally released back in 1994. Player flip over cards and score points based on the number of the card shown on the flipped card. However, if you flip over a second card with the same number, you lose the points you accumulated that turn. The more points the card is worth, the greater the quantity of that card in the deck. Good for ages 8 and up as it teaches number recognition and plays in about 20 minutes.

Gnome Hollow
Gnome Hollow was one of the hottest games at gencon, promoted heavily by the balloon gnomes and gnome house on display. The balloon gnomes actually wandered the convention where they could reasonably go.
Gnome Hollow is a tile laying game, with elements of both Carcassonne and Takenoko . Players lay tiles in order to build and expand and move gnomes around the garden to collect wildflowers, sell mushrooms and use signpost actions. Harvesting mushrooms allows the player to activate bonuses and collect treasures.
Cost is $49.99. For 2-4 players, taking 45 to an hour to play.
