Description from the publisher:
Night is falling and your tamed critters have somehow escaped their enclosure! Head into the forest and tempt them back with juicy lightning bugs in Smile, a game of gathering cute creatures for three to five players.
In every game of Smile, you and your fellow players attempt to lure your critters back by taking turns placing fireflies on their cards one at a time. But be careful! Wild critters are equally enamored with your fireflies, but will give you negative points. Wisely spend your fireflies to attract the best critters while saving enough to bid in future rounds. Just remember: In the end, you’ll be surrounded by a collection of cute smiling creatures — for better or worse!

A good game that adds a little more moving parts to the game No Thanks! Similar concept but many cards have colors that matter when you take a second card of that color, you lose both. This can be good for getting rid of negative cards (most points win), but bad when you have to take a card that removes a high scoring card. If you like No Thanks and want a filler with just a touch more, I can see this fulfilling that. May consider picking this up.

Fast and fun filler in the vein of Mogul/No Thanks!. It's a little more volatile than either, because if you ever have two cards of the same color, both are thrown out (and all of the high-point-scoring cards have color splotches), but this is a clever speculation game: you need to carefully weigh which card you want and balance that against the possibility that you won't get it. It's a game of cutting your losses. Really, really enjoy this one.

Not too fond of game with no decisions to make half of the rounds. There are better games out there. Cool art though.
