You know that rainy day boredom when the only fun is scribbling on a foggy window? That's exactly the vibe of Misty! Here, you and your friends turn the window into a canvas of ephemeral art, but with a magical twist: the drawings come to life. Balloons float up, cars drive away, and leaves fall, creating a dynamic scene as the game progresses.

The core mechanic is closed drafting. You receive a few cards, pick the one you like most (or the one that least helps others), and pass the rest of your hand to your neighbor. The game is a tactical tug-of-war: you want the high-scoring cards, but you must also keep a close eye on what you're passing along. After all, handing a powerful card to your opponent could be the fastest way to lose.

The challenge ramps up because window space is limited. Over 12 turns, some cards end up covering others, removing them from the game. You need to plan the placement of each drawing to optimize your final score. And watch out for the monster! He's always lurking, trying to eat the flowers, which are the most valuable cards in the game. If you don't plan carefully, your points will vanish in the blink of an eye.

Misty is the perfect game for those looking for something fast with simple rules but a pinch of mischief and strategy. It's ideal for starting a game night or for introducing the hobby to someone who has never played anything beyond Uno. The simplicity hides a game of anticipation where knowing what your neighbor wants is just as important as knowing what you need to win.
