A family-friendly update to IDW’s hit tile-laying game Seikatsu by Matt Loomis and Isaac Shalev, Seikatsu: A Pet’s Life has players placing adorable pets around an illustrated living room board.

Simple to learn, easy to play, but with a unique scoring system, Seikatsu: A Pet’s Life is perfect for a family full of gamers.
