About A Familiar Find, from BoardGameGeek:

A Familiar Find: A charming, fast paced, strategic card game fun for the whole family. The familiars are on an important mission for their spellcasters: gather rare ingredients from every corner of Exandria. But you're not alone, competing familiars from rival summoners lurk nearby, setting traps, and attempting to sabotage your efforts! In A Familiar Find, players collect ingredients from locations represented by piles of cards. On their turn, a player takes all the cards from one pile and adds them to their collection. They then place three cards from their hand into any locations, distributing them among the piles. Two of the cards are placed face up and one is placed face down. Over the course of the game, players attempt to set aside valuable cards for future turns while misleading opponents into taking piles filled with negative cards. Careful placement and timing are key to collecting the most valuable set of ingredients. Can you collect the ingredients before your competitors? Or will their traps leave you tangled in a web of misfortune? Fast-paced. Strategic. Fun for all ages. -description from the publisher
