smithhemb7   Great theme (family traits) with silly graphics (inbred nobles). It's a secret objective game (each player is trying to pass down a particular trait through as many generations as possible) that involves a bit of bluffing and hand-management. As an adult, I find the game too luck-driven (although that's probably fixable by changing to a mix of open and closed draw piles), but with kids the theme really carries it and the luck of the draw aspect may even be a positive feature.
