Lil' Guys (2023)

In Lil' Guys, players compete to collect matching types of guys for their Lil' Guy party. The more of any given type of guy that they have at the end of the game, the more points they score. Each round a bunch of Lil' Guys go up for grabs in a line at the center of the table. One player, the Party Planner, is tasked with splitting the line of guys into groups for each player without rearranging them. The Party Planner chooses their group of guys last, so they have to think strategically about what other players are looking for and how not to get stuck with the worst group of guys themselves. Players may also choose to collect powerful items from the Party Store each round to make their parties more bodacious, supplement their score, and give themselves strategies to build toward. The game ends when all 80 guys have been invited to the player's parties. Players then count up each stack of guys at their party, as well as their Party Store cards to determine their final scores. The player with the highest score wins! -description from publisher
