Jigsaw puzzles aren’t always a game night favorite, but they make for great, laid-back family activities for when guests are visiting for the holidays.
Featuring actual images taken by NASA, these three 1,000 piece puzzles show the Earth, Moon, and Mars in brilliant, high resolution color.

No two games are ever the same with Astronauts, the ultimate space exploration game! Slingshot your way from planet to planet, exploring moons, rings, and many other solar objects along the way.
The further you go in the solar system, the more points you earn – but the harder it is to return to Earth by the end of the game.
The risk and reward balance of getting stuck in deep space, avoiding asteroids, and using gravity makes this an intense, competitive game, especially for anyone interested in physics.
This is an excellent educational gift for players 9 and up, and another aerospace-themed centerpiece for your next holiday gathering.
Virulence is an addictively quick and simple card game for 2 to 5 players. Players take on the role of viruses and compete to infect a host cell in order to replicate their own viral components, allowing players to build their power or score points.
For competitive families and anyone in the medical industry, this is a fun, if slightly irreverent way to spend an evening.
