As the resident Family Games enthusiast at GamingTrend, I am always on the lookout for new games to try out with my kids. Ravensburger has announced three brand-new games aimed at younger kids that are available now. Sandcastles of Burgundy looks especially great. Read the official announcement below.
Portsmouth, NH (August 26, 2025) – Autumn is in the air, and the teams at Ravensburger and ThinkFun are bringing the fall vibes with three new games. Whether the start of your autumn era means taking one last trip to the beach, planting your garden, or prepping for back to school, these new games are a perfect way to bring a seasonal motif to your game table.
Gloomies
Step into the magical world of Gloomies, where you’ll plant and harvest a garden of magnificent, glowing flowers. This new, cozy strategy game features two-phased gameplay that has players planting a field of flowers in the first round, before harvesting them in the second phase. Use your playing cards skillfully and collect additional resources to score the most points and win. (Ages 10+ / $39.99 MSRP / Available at local game stores, Ravensburger Online Store)
Sandcastles of Burgundy
Queen Crab is holding a beach festival, and players must hurry to decorate their village ahead of her arrival in this kid-friendly version of the Stefan Feld classic, Castles of Burgundy. Designed by Stefan and his wife, Susanne, players take turns while they work to find the right decorations and animals from the royal guild to collect points. Whoever has the most points when Queen Crab arrives wins. Sandcastles of Burgundy is designed to grow with children and includes two levels of gameplay. (Ages 5+ / $29.99 MSRP / Available on Amazon, Ravensburger Online Store)
Sweet Victory
Compete to win in this fun, fast-paced game of shifting and speed stacking! Using only one hand and grabbing only one piece at a time, players race against each other to be the first one to match their stacks with the image on the card by moving pieces from pillar to pillar. Whoever finishes first grabs the Trophy from the center to claim Sweet Victory! But that’s just round one; continue racing and stacking and whoever has the most points at the end of 12 rounds wins. (8+ / $24.99 MSRP / Available at Target, Ravensburger Online Store)
