Those in search of a family friendly Easter activity that they can do at home might find what they're looking for in the Pusheen Card Game from Ravensburger.
Centering on the lovable cartoon cat of the same name, the game places players in Pusheen's house, where they can bake, snack, lounge about, and otherwise enjoy themselves. On the other side of the game board, players can change up the scenery and head out to the park, where the character can take part in a range of different activities.
As players move the character on the board, they can either choose an Essentials card next to the character's location or pick one up from the deck. Eventually these cards can be turned into Snapshots, which are each worth Stars. The first player to accumulate 10 Stars is crowned the winner.
