Goblin Picks of the Month: Taylor's June 2026 selection: Fountains! Taylor says, "Fountains is a wonderful and tactile game for 1-4 players that combines puzzley goodness with a 3D element! Your fountains need to be expansive, yet also tall, while players take turns moving one of three pawns around the center fountain to acquire a new piece to add to their personal fountain. Any piece that has a pawn next to it is unavailable, and every time each color pawn lands exactly on the same color feature spot, EVERYONE gets to score that feature, which leads to potentially strategically NOT moving a particular pawn so certain features cannot be scored by the person who would score the most. The tiles are also made of foam so they feel super nice and chunky while the cardboard pieces have a luxurious texture that makes the game feel as wonderful as it is to play!"
