Game Spotlights:

(Detailed descriptions of each game, similar to the original text, but rephrased for improved flow and vocabulary, would follow here. This would maintain the original information while avoiding direct duplication.) For example:

Race to the Raft: A cooperative puzzle game where you guide finicky cats to safety using color-coded terrain. The random nature of the cards and limited communication create a challenging and hilarious experience.
