Rhino Hero is back on the job — and this time not only does the wobbly skyscraper need to be climbed but there will also be fierce battles between the four super-heroes Rhino Hero Giraffe Boy Big E. and Batguin. Who will win the battles and not let themselves be bothered by the mean hanging spider monkeys?Rhino Hero: Super Battle is a turbulent 3D stacking game.

Super Rhino! presents players with an incredibly heroic – and regrettably heavy – rhinoceros who is eager to climb a tall building and leap other tall buildings in a single bound. First though you need to construct that building.Players each start the game with five roof cards and they take turns adding walls and roofs to a single building. On a turn you first place walls on the highest floor then you choose a roof card in your hand and place it on the wall. Each roof card bears markings that indicate where the next player must place walls on the card. In addition some roof cards force a player to perform special actions such as placing a second roof changing the direction of play or moving Super Rhino to a new location on the tower. Keep your hands steady!The first player to build all of their roof cards wins the game. Alternatively if the building collapses the player who caused the collapse automatically loses and the player with the fewest roof cards in hand wins.Similar to Turmbau zu Babel

In a dark and dreary house every sound sends a cold chill through your bones. A door opens – is someone there? You hear whispers but no one answers when you call. Your eyes and ears may deceive you but the hair on your neck tells you what you already know: There are ghosts here — and not just one for these spirits are legion.In Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters a.k.a. Geister Geister Schatzsuchmeister! four intrepid treasure hunters are on a quest searching for precious hidden jewels but the phantoms in this house do not give up their bounty easily. As their ghoulish numbers grow the treasure hunters must work together to acquire all eight jewels and escape the house before it becomes fully haunted or else face their own gruesome demise.Players roll dice to determine how many spaces they move this turn and whether a new ghost is added to the board. Players may move up to the number of spaces shown on the die. If they end their movement in a space with a treasure they may pick it up and place it in their backpack. If they end their movement in a space with a ghost they fight that ghost by rolling a fight die. If they roll the matching symbol they remove the ghost from the game board.If the players must add a third ghost to a room it transforms into a haunting. A haunting requires at least two people in the room to attempt a fight with it. Players win if they can get all eight treasures and their whole team out of the house; they lose if all six hauntings are on the board.

The Hare & the Tortoise originally published as Royal Turtle is a card-driven betting game about animal racing loosely based on one of Aesop's Fables.At the start of a race each player secretly bets on up to two of five animals: turtle rabbit lamb wolf and fox. One animal is chosen at random for each player then after receiving a hand of seven cards each player places one of his cards face-down (possibly the same animal) as an additional bet. Players then take turns laying down 1-4 cards with all cards needing to show the same animal then refilling the hand to five cards. As soon as eight total cards have been played or four cards of any one animal the animals move (maybe).Each animal has a distinct characteristic that players can use to their advantage. The turtle always moves one space but it moves two if four of its cards were played. The rabbit always moves two spaces as long as cards are played. — unless four cards are played and it's at the head of the pack in which case it sleeps and doesn't move. The fox moves as many spaces as the number of cards played. The lamb moves one more space than the number of cards played — but if it reaches water it stops moving to take a drink. The wolf moves 1 space if one to two cards are played and one less space than the number of cards if more are played. The wolf also has 3 cards with a howl if one of these is played no one but the wolf moves.(The track consists of eleven road cards two covered with water.)After the animals move players start a new round of card-playing. A round ends when three of the five animals reach the goal after which each player scores points based on the ranking of the animals and how they bet. After three rounds the player with the most points wins.The original title of Royal Turtle is a homage to Reiner Knizia's Royal Turf another betting game about animals racing (albeit horses in that game).

Ack the princess has been captured once again by an evil sorcerer! She should really stop hanging about in places where she can be captured so easily. Well that's neither here nor there for now – let's get out there and free her from the enchanted tower.In Der verzauberte Turm one player plays the sorcerer and at the start of the game he hides a key under one of 16 spaces on the game board. The other players collectively take the part of Robin who tries to find the key before the sorcerer can reach it. No matter who finds the key first though that player gets to try the key in one of the six locks on the tower; if he chooses the right one the princess jumps free of the tower and that player wins. If not the sorcerer hides the key once again and everyone moves back to their starting locations.The sorcerer starts the game on a supplementary movement board that takes him eight spaces to cover giving Robin time to search various locations first for the key. (Robin and the sorceror are apparently magnetized and when the character passes over the key location the key will clack to its underside.) How do the pieces move? Each turn the sorcerer rolls a symbol die that shows which character moves first that turn; the Robin players take turns rolling a number die which has values for both Robin and the sorcerer. Thus they jockey back and forth to reach a location that only the sorcerer knows. Will the princess find freedom once again at least for a little while?

In Magic Mountain a.k.a. Zauberberg you want to move the sorcerers' apprentices down the mountain ahead of the witches — but you don't always know how the will-o'-the-wisps will make the figures move.To set up place supports on the game board to elevate the starting area then place six sorcerers' apprentices in the back row and four witches on their designated starting spaces. Add the five colored will-o'-the-wisp marbles to the bag.On a turn draw a will-o'-the-wisp then place it at the top of one of the six starting channels and let it go. If the will-o'-the-wisp hits a figure the ball will stop. Pick up this figure and move it to the next open colored space on the winding path that matches the color of the will-o'-the-wisp. If you're moving a sorcerers' apprentice you might want to do it quickly because if the will-o'-the-wisp hits that same figure you can move it once again! Don't rush moving the witches though since you want them to move as little as possible. If a will-o'-the-wisp doesn't hit any figures then you must move a witch of your choice to the next matching colored space. Once all five will-o'-the-wisps have been drawn return them to the bag and start again.If you manage to move four sorcerers' apprentices to the bottom of the mountain before three witches get there you win! You can adjust the difficulty of the game by requiring more sorcerers' apprentices or fewer witches or both. Alternatively you can play the game competitively with each player or team trying to get their group of four figures down the mountain first.[Admin note: Magic Mountain is listed for 2-6 players whereas Zauberberg is listed for 1-4 players but the gameplay seems identical in both releases.]

Play Push It either mano-a-mano 3 player 4 player or our favourite and most strategic version is two teams of two.At Push It we want you to unleash your creativity so there are no long-winded rules or measuring; players have to argue amongst themselves to agree whose puck is closest or else a ‘Push Off’ tie-break round decides.

So when the pressure is on and you’re going for that extra point (without knocking your opponent’s puck closer) try to remember – it’s just for fun!!

Each step toward the castle is identified by a color and a shape. Players hold cards in their hands with cute defenders who also have a color and shape. When a card is played that matches the location of the monster that monster is captured and thrown in the dungeon.

In the cooperative deduction game Schnappt Hubi! which uses an electronic device similar to the one in Wer war's? the players explore an old house by building a 3D-labyrinth of broken walls in the first phase and chasing a ghost in the second.Each player starts with his figure – a red or yellow mouse or blue or green hare – in one predetermined corner of the square house which features a 4x4 grid of rooms that lacks any walls at the start of the game. The players find out which kind of walls are in certain directions by pressing one of four arrow buttons of a compass device with a built-in AI (to ensure that each game will have a different house). Walls come in four types: One that allows all animals to pass through one with a mousehole that allows only mice through one with a hole in the top that only hares can jump through and one that's solid and impassable. The players build those walls creating step-by-step a 3D-labyrinth. The goal of this first phase is to find the magic doors which can be opened only if there is an animal on each side.Once the players find the magic doors the ghost Hubi appears. The device gives hints to the players allowing them to deduce where Hubi is so that ideally they can eventually chase it out of the house.Schnappt Hubi! includes three difficulty levels with a timer running in the hardest level that ends the game after a certain number of moves.

Haim Shafir's most famous game design Halli Galli includes one of the best-known game props in existence: a bell.

Quick Cups.In this game each player receives a set of five plastic cups each a different color; a deck of 24 cards is shuffled and placed face down in the center of the table next to the bell. One player flips over the top card which depicts colored objects – trains birds cups etc. – stacked vertically or horizontally then everyone tries to recreate this colored sequence with her own set of cups. The first player to do slams the bell revels in the soul-brightening ding then (if correct) claims the card. Someone then reveals the next card and the players start shuffling cups once again.Once all the cards have been claimed whoever holds the most cards wins!

Each card has five attributes with each attribute having two states: large/small light/dark one/two arms with/without sunglasses and with/without popcorn. (As noted above combining the two games adds a sixth attribute: pig/dog nose.) Someone shouts Go! then everyone looks at their card in hand. Players then start grabbing cards from the grid and stacking them in hand. The card grabbed must be identical to the top card in hand or differ from that top card in only one way. Thus as you grab cards the attributes of that top card will keep changing forcing you to look for matches in new ways.Once a player thinks he can't grab any more cards he yells Stop!. The round ends and all players check their card stacks. If someone made a mistake when grabbing cards that player keeps none of the cards gathered that round. If the player who stopped the round made no mistakes he earns an extra card (two cards when playing with 6-8). If however he stopped the round when he could have collected more cards then he loses all the cards he's collected during this round.Whoever has collected the most cards when the game ends wins!

In Foxy you'll put your memory and observation skills to the test while looking at a sequence of large full-color cards. Each card shows one of four environments as well as 1-2 animals that live in that environment — although a cat can show up anywhere so sometimes a card will feature three animals.To set up shuffle 19 of the 40 cards into a deck then shuffle the fox card into this deck. Each player takes a dry erase board and a marker. Flip the top card; for the types of animals depicted on this card everyone secretly writes the total number of animals of these types that they've seen on all cards revealed so far. For the first round this is easy — write the number of animals on this card! But you'll start seeing cards of many environments and wait how many chickens have I seen so far? How many cats? You can write only a single numeral for each round with no reminders of which animals were which. When the fox card appears write a numeral showing how many different animals you've seen total. Once during the game you can circle a number to take a chance on doubling that score.Once you've finished the deck after twenty rounds flip it over then go through the cards again this time keeping a public tally of how many animals of each type have been seen. If the number you wrote for a round is equal to or less than the total number of animals seen you score that many points; if the number is larger then cross it out and score nothing for that round. For the circled number if you correctly wrote the exact number of animals score twice that many points; if you guess higher or lower score nothing. Whoever scores the most points wins.

Players can use their cards to activate special abilities or hold on to them scoring the points they’re worth at the end of the game. Once the deck of cards is depleted the game ends and the player with the most points wins.

Players in The Color Monster collaborate to help the Monster figure out his emotions. In turns they roll the die that allows them to move the Monster around the board. When the Monster goes to a space with an emotion token the player can pick it up and look for the right jar. The jars are all placed on shelves with their colors hidden. If the player chooses the jar which matches the color of the emotion then they can place the emotion token into the jar. Otherwise the jar goes back to the shelf as it was. In order to pick up an emotion token players have to explain a memory or a situation in which they feel like the emotion they are picking up (Happiness Sadness Anger Fear or Calm). The players can lose the game if the Monster gets too confused and they flip over too many mixed emotion jars or win the game when the emotions are all placed in their correct jars.—description from the publisher

Monster Match is unique among speed games for one simple reason: more than 1 person can get a match every round. This sounds minor but it makes a huge difference in game play.There is usually a dominant player in any given speed game which makes the game frustrating for the other players who have a hard time getting points. In Monster Match it is possible for every player to score in a round. This makes the game more fun for a greater number of players and it adds a layer of strategy to the game as players decide whether to grab the first match they see or search longer for a match that might be worth more points. Another unique element in Monster Match is that the number of cards on the table changes every round. This creates a dynamic landscape which directly affects your strategic decisions each round between grabbing quickly or taking more time to find a high point card. The end result is a game that is more fun and engaging than other alternatives on the market.Rules - Scatter 10 Monster Cards face-up on the table. - Roll the special Monster Dice. - Everyone races to find a monster that matches the roll. - Touch a card with your finger to claim it.

Heckmeck am Karteneck is the game where ripped-off chickens shovel the worms a la carte from the grill.Dinner is served. Tasty portions of fried worms are waiting to be fetched from the grill. In turn the chickens play out their card stakes. Whoever quits earlier gets less but still has cards up his sleeve for later rounds. Clever play is made by those who judge their hand of cards well at the right moment and can thus get hold of the most valuable portions.A must for all Heckmeck lovers.In each round cards from the hand are played to gain worm portions of different values. Each player lays out cards. Cards of the same value may not be placed by the same player in subsequent rounds. Gained portions are stacked in front of each player and the last portion won (on top) can be stolen. The thief can be any player who whose total of played cards at the time of his or her own exit matches the value of the stolen portion.The game ends after all worm portions have been taken. The winner is the player who has the most worms on his gained portions.
