Arboretum is a strategy card game for 2-4 players aged 10 and up that combines set collection tile-laying and hand management while playing in about 25 minutes. Players try to have the most points at the end of the game by creating beautiful garden paths for their visitors.The deck has 80 cards in ten different colors with each color featuring a different species of tree; each color has cards numbered 1 through 8 and the number of colors used depends on the number of players. Players start with a hand of seven cards. On each turn a player draws two cards (from the deck or one or more of the discard piles) lays a card on the table as part of her arboretum then discards a card to her personal discard pile.When the deck is exhausted players compare the cards that remain in their hands to determine who can score each color. For each color the player(s) with the highest value of cards in hand of that color scores for a path of trees in her arboretum that begins and ends with that color; a path is a orthogonally adjacent chain of cards with increasing values. For each card in a path that scores the player earns one point; if the path consists solely of trees of the color being scored the player scores two points per card. If a player doesn't have the most value for a color she scores zero points for a path that begins and ends with that color. Whoever has the most points wins.

Doppelt so clever follows the model of 2018's Ganz schön clever. Each turn the active player rolls six dice chooses one of them to mark off a space on their scoring grid places any dice with lower numbers aside then re-rolls any remaining dice. The white die is a joker and can be used as any one of the other five colors. After the active player chooses at most three dice then the other players each choose one of the set-aside dice for use on their scoring sheet.Doppelt so clever has five new dice-marking challenges and a new action beyond the re-roll and use one more die actions of the earlier game.

Trapped in a drowned world you and your allies are doomed -- or are you? Using a mystical deck and a healthy dose of logic you can predict each others' fates and escape unscathed.The Shipwreck Arcana is a compact co-operative game of deduction evaluation and logic. Each player's doom constantly changes as they draw numbered fate tiles from the bag. By choosing which fate to give up and which card to play it on you can give your allies enough information to identify the fate you're holding...which is important as the active player cannot communicate with their allies during their turn!Each card has strict rules governing what fates can be played on it. As doom builds up the cards themselves fade becoming one-time powers to help the players while new cards cycle in from the deck.Skilled play requires carefully rationing powers hints and cycling while paying attention to not only where each fate was played -- but more importantly where it wasn't.The rotating active player creates a different group dynamic each turn preventing any one player from dominating the game. Inexperienced players can still use the group deduction phase to ask questions (while they are not the active player).

Clever hoch drei features the same gameplay as Ganz schön clever and Doppelt so clever but with new categories in which to score — sometimes with several dice at the same time.Your goal: Choose dice then place the numbers into the matching colored area put together tricky chain-scoring opportunities and rack up the points.

Ohanami consists of a deck of 120 cards that are numbered from 1-120 with each card having one of four symbols on it. The game lasts three rounds with players scoring at the end of each round in addition to bonus scoring at the end of the game.At the start of a round each player receives a hand of ten cards. Each player chooses two cards then passes the remaining cards to the left. All players reveal their cards at the same time then decide whether to use 0 1 or 2 of them in personal rows of cards. When you start a row you can use any card; to add a card to an existing row that card must be higher than the row's highest card or lower than the lowest one. A player can have at most three rows of cards. Discard any cards you don't use.Players repeat this drafting passing and playing process until they have played ten cards. The first round ends and players now receive 3 points for each blue card in their rows.Players then receive a new hand of ten cards to start round 2 once again choosing two cards and passing the rest but now to the right. Players continue building on the rows that they already have scoring 3 points for each blue card and 4 points for each green card at the end of round two.For round three players have ten more cards and pass cards to the left once again. At the end of this round players once again score for their blue and green cards while also receiving 7 points for each gray card in their rows.

Qwixx is a quick-playing dice game in which everyone participates no matter whose turn it is. Each player has a scoresheet with the numbers 2-12 in rows of red and yellow and the numbers 12-2 in rows of green and blue. To score points you want to mark off as many numbers as possible but you can mark off a number only if it's to the right of all marked-off numbers in the same row.On a turn the active player rolls six dice: two white and one of each of the four colors listed above. Each player can choose to mark off the sum of the two white dice on one of their four rows then the active player can choose to mark off the sum of one colored die and one white die in the row that's the same color as the die. The more marks you can make in a row the higher your score for that row. Fail to cross off a number when you're the active player however and you must mark one of four penalty boxes on your scoresheet. If you mark off the 2 or 12 in a row and have at least five numbers marked in that row you get to also mark off the padlock symbol in that row locking everyone else out of this color.When either a player has four penalty boxes marked or a second color is locked the game ends immediately. Players then tally their points for each color sum these values then subtract five points for each marked penalty box. Whoever has the highest score wins.

You start with one shuriken as well and if everyone wants to use a shuriken each player discards their lowest card face up giving everyone information and getting you closer to completing the level. As you complete levels you might receive a reward of a shuriken or an extra life. Complete all the levels and you win!For an extra challenge play The Mind in extreme mode with all played cards going onto the stack face down. You don't look at the cards played until the end of a level losing lives at that time for cards played out of order.

Numbers aren't worth anything in NMBR 9 unless they're off the ground floor and looking down from above.The game includes twenty cards numbered 0-9 twice and eighty tiles numbered 0-9; each number tile is composed of squares in some arrangement. After shuffling the deck of cards draw and reveal the first card. Each player takes a number tile matching the card and places it on the table. With each new card drawn after that each player takes the appropriate number tile then adds it to the tiles that they already have in play with each player building their own arrangement of tiles.The new tile must touch at least one other tile on the same level along one side of a square. A tile can also be placed on top of two or more other tiles as long as no part of the new tile overhangs the tiles below it; new tiles placed on this same level must touch at least one other tile while also covering parts of at least two tiles and not overhanging.Once all the cards have been drawn and the tiles placed players take turns calculating their score. A tile on the bottom level — the 0th level if you will — scores 0 points; a tile on the 1st level above this is worth as many points as the number on the tile; a tile on the 2nd level is worth twice the number on the tile; etc. Whoever scores the most points wins!

Players in The Game try to discard all 98 cards in the deck onto four discard piles in order to win but they need to do so in the right ways.Each player starts with 6-8 cards in their hand depending on the number of players and four discard pile prompt cards are on the table: two showing 1 and an up arrow and two showing 100 and a down arrow. On a turn a player must discard at least two cards from their hand onto one or more discard piles with cards on the 1 piles being placed in ascending order and cards on the 100 piles being placed in descending order. One tricky aspect of the game is that you can play a card exactly 10 higher/lower than the top card of a discard pile even when you would normally have to play in a descending/ascending order e.g. if a 100 discard pile is topped with an 87 you can play any card lower than 87 or you can play the 97.After a player finishes their turn they refill their hand from the deck. During play players cannot reveal exact numbers in their hands but they can warn others not to play on certain discard piles or otherwise make play suggestions.Once the deck is emptied players are required only to play at least one card on a turn. If you play all 98 cards you win! If you get good the rules suggest that you play at least three cards a turn to increase the challenge.

This change allows you to know which cards are in play thereby allowing you to track which cards have been played and (theoretically) make better choices as to which card to play when.6 nimmt! 25 Jahre includes 28 additional cards to be used in a new variant. The game now lasts only two rounds and at the start of play each player receives three special cards. Just before you have to place your number card in a row you can choose to play one of your cards with these cards opening a fifth row moving a previously placed card to a different row inserting one card between two others allowing up to six cards in a row instead of five blocking a row replacing the card you played and more.After all number cards have been played players tally their scores keeping any unplayed special cards then shuffle the number cards and begin a new round.

Each player can place whatever sum is rolled into an empty shape in a row that matches the color of one of the dice. Two rules must be followed when placing a sum in a row:A player does not have to enter the number in a row but if the active player the one who rolled the dice doesn't do so then they must mark a misthrow box on their scoresheet.The game continues until someone has filled two rows on their scoresheet or someone has tallied four misthrows. Players then tally their points: For each completed column on their scoresheet a player scores points equal to the number in that column's pentagon. For each completed row on their scoresheet a player scores points equal to the rightmost number in that row. For each incomplete row on their scoresheet a player scores one point per number in that row. For each misthrow a player loses five points. Whoever has the highest sum wins!

Help each other to complete the objectives but be the smartest to be the only one to win.Each player receives 13 cards at the beginning of the game and at the end of each turn each player chooses a card (Objective or Value) from their hand and decides to place it between themselves and their neighbor on the left or right.At the end of the 13 rounds each player checks the Objectives in each zone between the players and the two common Objectives revealed at the beginning of the game are also attributed to the zones that have fulfilled the conditions.The score of each player is calculated by multiplying the points obtained in the area on their left by the points in the area on their right. Throughout the game it is therefore necessary to balance this double alliance in order to score as well as possible on both sides and emerge as the sole winner.

For eons Incubi (bad negative dreams) and Sognae (happy positive dreams) have dwelled in Equilibrion opposed but complementary. As the king of this City you must establish and maintain the delicate balance between those dreams: place them in the various districts harness their power and beware of the Chaos – fearsome entities that thrive on discord and hatred.Urbion is a solo/cooperative card game: You (and your partner) must work (together) against the game and claim all the cards from the City deck before the Dream deck runs out! Victory is achieved by balancing the twelve City cards: when the sum of all Dream cards played next to a City card is equal to zero you may claim it. In order to prevail you must play your Dream cards skillfully or discard them at the right moment to trigger helpful effects. And you will have to dodge the penalties of the Chaos cards...

Kobayakawa is a game of bluffing and deduction. In this stylish new game from Jun Sasaki components are kept at a minimum - there are only 15 cards 32 tokens and the start player marker.The rules are simple:At the start each player is given 4 tokens. In addition 8 tokens are placed in the middle of the table. Spare tokens are set aside.The deck is shuffled and each player is dealt one card face down an additional card is dealt face up next to the deck (this card is called the Kobayakawa).Each player takes a turn and either:- Draws a card to their hand and discards one of their 2 hand cards face up in front of them. Or - Turns over the top card of the deck to replace the current Kobayakawa.After all players have taken their turns each must decide if they want to stay in and 'fight' by betting a token.All players that decided to fight reveal their card. The player that has the lowest value card adds the value of the current Kobayakawa to their own card. The player with the highest number (their own card; or their own card + the Kobayakawa) wins the round and they take all the tokens that players bet plus a bonus token from the middle they take the start player token for the next round.On the 7th round (when only 2 tokens remain in the middle) the stakes and the bonus are doubled to 2 tokens.After this 7th round the game ends and the player with the most tokens wins the game.Example Round: Kobayakawa: 8 Player A: 9 Player B: Pass Player C: 15 Player D: 12Player C has the highest card value (15) but Player A is declared the winner as the results of the lowest card (9) and the Kobayakawa (8) is 17.

Rolling America based on the 2014 release Rolling Japan is a light multiplayer solitaire dice game. Each player has a map of the United States that's divided into fifty (abstractly represented) states which are then bunched together into six differently colored areas.On a turn a player draws two regular six-sided dice from a bag and rolls them; the bag starts with seven dice six matching the colors of the areas on the map along with a wild clear die. All players now write down each number rolled on any state of the matching color i.e. if the blue die shows 4 and the yellow a 2 write a 4 in one blue state and a 2 in one yellow state. If the clear die is rolled you can place this number in a state of your choice; additionally three times per game you can choose to use a non-clear die as any color. However neighboring states can't have numbers with a difference larger than 1; if you can't place a number without breaking this rule then you must place an X in a state of the appropriate color. (If all the states in an area are filled you can ignore the die or use one of your three color changes to place the number elsewhere.)Rolling America has a few changes from Rolling Japan. The guard action allows you to ignore the neighboring number restriction three times during the game and the dupe action allows you to use one of the active dice twice in the same region. As in real life Alaska and Hawaii are not connected to the continental United States so you can drop any numbers you want in those states!After six dice have been rolled mark one round as being complete then return the dice to the bag and start the next round. After eight rounds the game ends and whoever has the fewest Xs on their map wins.

In Mind Up! you start with a line of cards on the table with as many cards as players. Each turn players pick a card from their hand and simultaneously reveal it to make a new line ordered from the lowest to the highest card. Each player then takes the card in the previous line at the same position as the one they just played adding it to their tableau. These cards will score points at the end of the round depending on their color and the order they were picked. After being scored they become the player's hand for the next round.

When hungry Numbsters form a line arrange them well and you’ll be fine. But when they all begin to munch avoid the Mouth or you’ll be lunch!Numbsters is a solo game that can be played in your hand or on a table. Each of the hungry Numbsters features a number and special ability. Starting with a stack of 6 random Numbsters (plus the Mouth card) you’ll need to eat move and manipulate your way to victory. If you can get down to just one Numbster and the Mouth remaining in your hand you win!—description from the publisherHOW TO PLAYEach turn draw a new Numbster into your hand placing it at the top of the stack.Next you may move one card to a different position in the stack OR swap any two cards’ positions.Lastly it’s feeding time: one Numbster must eat another one.Typically this requires two sequential Numbsters (for example 16 and 17) separated only by the Mouth card. The smaller Numbster in the sequence can eat the bigger one discarding it and starting a new turn.Of course these Numbsters are odd creatures. Each one has an optional special ability that changes how the other Numbsters eat allowing for powerful plays and big bites!The ability on the top Numbster in the stack is considered active while showing; when it’s used that Numbster slides to the bottom of the stack. But be careful – if at any point the Mouth card reaches the top of the stack it triggers its game-ending special ability…and eats YOU!

It's time to run from the bulls once again in X nimmt!This card game starts with the same premise as the well-known 6 nimmt!: Each turn players all simultaneously reveal one card from their hand then these cards are placed into existing rows one at a time starting with the lowest-valued card. If a row is full then whoever played that final card takes all of the cards already in the row scoring negative points for all of the bullheads on those cards.X nimmt! changes these rules a few ways. Each player starts with eight cards in hand and a personal X row. Played cards will be placed into three rows with those rows being able to hold three four or five cards. Whenever someone takes cards from a row those cards go into the player's hand then the player must play one card into their personal X row.All cards in this X row must also be played in ascending order! If you can't do this then you place all of those X cards aside in order to start a new X row with the value of those set-aside cards now being doubled.A round ends after someone plays the final card in their hand and whoever has the fewest negative points after two rounds wins.This game was called Take A Number when included in the two game set Take 5 & Take A Number.

Fugitive is a tense easy-to-learn two-player deduction card game. One player is a fugitive trying to make it out of town while being pursued by an unstoppable agent. The fugitive plays cards face down to the table trying to work their way to a goal while the agent must guess those cards to uncover them. If all the cards are face up the fugitive is caught.CORE RULE change from 1st Edition: When the Fugitive doesn't play a hideout he may draw an extra card from the lowest numbered pile that still has cards.Fugitive 2nd Edition also adds a brand new SHIFT system to replace the old event system and help balance the game with players of different skill levels.

UNO gets a brand new twist in the new UNO Flip! card game. It essentially plays like regular UNO but with the addition of Flip cards. This UNO card deck is double-sided with a light side and a dark side. You start off playing with the light side but if someone plays a Flip card you have to switch to playing the dark side. And on the dark side there are different action cards with stiffer penalties. Instead of a Draw One card the dark side has a Draw Five card. Instead of a Skip Card the dark side has a Skip Everyone card. You have to continue playing with the dark side until another Flip card is played.If you don't know how to play UNO each player takes a turn matching a card from their hand to the card on the top of the discard pile either by number color or symbol. If you don't have a match you must draw a card from the draw pile.The symbols represent the action cards such as Wild Skip Wild Draw 2 Draw One and Reverse. This version also includes a Flip card that turns the cards to the dark side which has the following actions: Draw Five Reverse Skip Everyone Wild Wild Draw Color and Flip.When you play your next-to-last card you must yell UNO! to indicate you only have one card left. If you don't yell UNO and someone catches you you must draw two cards. Once a player runs out of cards the round is over and that player receives points for all of the cards left in their opponents' hands. Play until one player reaches 500 points.

The Rockwell company wants to develop drilling activities but does not have the necessary teams in-house. Rockwell has decided to buy into specialized companies. In order to determine which one it will put on the most advanced and most profitable projects in the future Rockwell has elected to make them work together on a single important project: drilling through the depths of the earth’s crust to the core. The company who demonstrates the greatest expertise in the technical and financial management of this contract will ensure a bright future with Rockwell.Goal of the Game...Acquire the most Renown points at the end of the game. There are three ways to achieve this:Gameplay... Acquire more prestige than your opponents by the end of the game. The prestige is acquired through Production and Delivery tiles as well as in the final scoring which will award prestige points for different majorities. The game is divided into three phases that are repeated as many times as necessary until one of two conditions endgame is met: a majority of the players have reached the center of the earth with a drill crew a player has completed the nine Achievements. Then the current round is completed before determining the winner. Each player has two vice presidents he will deploy to act in Phase 1 2 or 3 in order to perform actions. The order in which the players’ vice presidents are deployed is determined by a closed-fist auction. This is the main phase. Players will move their drill crews are at a rate of one per round (there are four rounds before Phase 2). Depending on the position of your vice president if you deployed him to act in this phase you can corrupt opposing drill crews (in order to attract them to the same tile as your active drill crew) or hire a subcontractor (to increase your drilling power). Each tile of the earth's crust has a value indicating its resistance to drilling. If the sum of the drill crews who are present equals or exceeds this value the tile is excavated and turned over; then draw an Extraction card to see what resources you discovered which is evenly split between the players who participated in the drilling. The indivisible remainder goes to one of those players (prioritized by whoever has a mine on the tile then the player who has the greater drilling power then the one who ttriggered the drilling). Finally after the four rounds the mines laid on drilled tiles provide the resources printed on the back of the tile. Players with a vice president here can perform market transactions which is to say that they can buy or sell resources. In this phase players can make investments to get renown points and improve their drilling conditions in different ways… augment the drill crews’ power (maximum = 4) place mines in the game (maximum three mines) improve mine safety (in order to avoid wasting resources at extraction time) improve the movement of drill crews.

Play a card draw a card — that couldn't be easier right?Don't be fooled though because even though the title claims this game is quick and easy The Game: Quick & Easy will not be easy to defeat. You can do so only as a real team! In more detail to win you must play all fifty cards in the deck on the two discard piles. The deck consists of fifty cards with cards coming in five colors numbered 1-10 in each color. Each player has a hand of two cards.On a turn you play one or two cards onto one or both of the two discard piles. On one pile you must play a higher card that whatever the top card is and on the other you must play a lower card. The exception is that you can play any card on a discard pile if it's the same color as the current top card. Thus on the ascending discard pile the cards played might be blue 1 red 2 gray 4 yellow 6 yellow 2 — and that drop down gives you breathing room in which to play more cards.You can't reveal the specific numbers you have in hand but you can say things like I have a high yellow card. In the professional version of the game you must play exactly one card each turn (even if you want to play two) and you can reveal only the color of cards in your hand and on which stack you want to play.

In Momiji you attempt to fulfill objectives by collecting the most valuable autumn leaves from the Imperial Garden in ancient Japan.You start with a hand of six leaf cards and a series of three landscape powers that combine to form a unique panorama. (For the first game landscapes are assigned but they can be drafted in subsequent games.) Leaf cards come in 4-6 types depending on the number of players with values of 0-3 in each type. Start with four random cards in the central playing area sorted by type. Place 4-6 randomly chosen objective tokens in the center of play; sample objectives are collecting the most 0s having the most cards of a specific type or having the highest sum of visible cards at game's end.On your turn choose one of these three options:Once during a turn you can discard two cards from your hand for one acorn token or spend an acorn to use a landscape power or do both of these actions. You can use each landscape power at most once during a game.When the leaf card deck is empty or after 4-6 leaf piles are closed with a torii token the game ends. For each pile of leaves you score points equal to the value of the topmost card multiplied by the number of cards in the pile. Remaining acorn tokens are worth 1 point each. For each activated objective you see who best meets the condition and therefore scores points; if the player holding the token scores they receive 10 points whereas anyone else who scores that objective receives 3 points. Each player scores in case of a tie. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game wins.

In the abstract strategy game Rondo players try to score as many points as possible by placing tokens on numbered spaces on the game board with the board consisting of two concentric rings of numbered spaces and multiple spokes connecting these rings and the center of the board. (The game board is double-sided with different values on each side.) The numbers come in five colors and players start the game by drawing two tokens (also in five colors) from a bag and placing them on a rack thereby hiding the color of the tokens from other players.On a turn a player can either (1) play as many tokens as they want in a continuous chain with the first token being placed next to an occupied space or the center space then drawing one token from the bag or (2) drawing two tokens and placing none on the board. A player can hold at most five tokens on their rack.When a player places tokens the color of the token must match the space being covered; immediately score the points shown on this space. A player can choose to place a non-matching token face down on a space in order to reach another space but they score no points for the face-down token. Alternatively a player can play multiple tokens of the same color on a matching space and score the listed number of points for each token placed.The game board has a number of dark grey spaces on it. The game ends at the end of the round in which all of these spaces are occupied or a player cannot draw enough tokens to complete their turn. The player with the most points wins!

If you play certain high or low cards you must roll the special die which may have you play again steal a brain from another player swap campfires with an opponent or take some other action.If you cannot play you lose a brain token clear the pile draw two cards place one of those cards in your cemetery then start the pile again by playing from your hand.

Each player draws a hand of seven cards then puts on the best exhibition possible by matching colors and numbers e.g. red 11 red 1 purple 1 purple 13.Each card you play earns you $1 and in turn players can buy cards from the gallery stacks: a 2 costs $2 a 3 $3 etc. Once per turn you can bury a top card in a gallery stack on the bottom of that stack. If you don't spend all of your money and don't already have a change token take a change token from the bank; it's worth $1 when you decide to spend it. End your turn by discarding all played cards and cards still in hand then draw a hand of seven cards shuffling your discard pile when necessary.Six patrons numbered 2-7 are in play and they give cards additional powers. If you played the most 2s for example you have an extra $1 to spend; if you played a 3 you can trash a card from your hand or played area; when you play a 4 you can change either its color or number. Avant Carde includes multiple sets of patrons and you can use the cards from a single set or mix them.Why are you building this collection? To gain awards!

1 to 23—these are the cards that will be played in ascending order over the course of the game but doing so is trickier than you might expect as there are limitations in doing so—not to mention opponents who will love to thwart you. In 23 whoever makes too big a jump from one number to the next must take penalty chips and whoever collects the fewest chips after two passes through the deck wins the game.23 is played with a deck of cards numbered 1 to 23 with one 1 card two 2 cards and three each of the cards 3–23.The game is played in two rounds. At the start of the first round each player receives three bonus chips. At the start of each round each player is dealt a number of cards. He then discards three cards face down back to the box. The player that has the 1 begins the round by playing it. After that each player has to play cards in ascending order.On his turn a player can play one or more cards with the same value. If these cards have a value that is equal to or one higher than the last card this is allowed without any penalties. If the cards are more than one higher than the last card the player receives one penalty chip for each point of difference. If a player pays a bonus chip he may play cards that have a value up to five lower or higher than the last card. A player who plays his last card may discard three penalty chips.Instead of playing cards a player can also pass. If he does he receives one penalty chip. Alternatively he can pass and force the next player to play cards. In that case he gains two penalty chips.If a player does not want to play any more cards he can leave the round. In that case he receives one penalty chip for each card he has in hand.After the second round each player may discard two penalty chips for each bonus chip he has remaining. The player who has the fewest penalty chips wins.

Tranquility: The Ascent is a standalone sequel to Tranquility with players working together to complete a grid of numbers as they scale the mountain.Starting at the bottom of the mountain players are tasked with completing a pyramid-shaped grid from the base to the summit. The base of the mountain is nine cards wide the row above that is eight and so on with the top row consisting of a single summit card played once the rest of the grid is complete. On your turn you must play a card onto the mountain or discard two cards. Cards are numbered between 1 and 12 and feature one of three different types of terrain. You may not play cards of the same terrain type next to one another and you must also discard the difference between cards when played next to one another e.g. placing a 7 next to a 4 would require you to discard three cards.Rows are completed from left-to-right and the numbers on the cards can ascend descend or remain the same. Rows can include any number barring this one restriction: the number on a terrain card must be equal to or higher than the number of the row which means that a 1 can be played only in the first row whereas numbers 8-12 can be played on any row.You can start a new row once at least the first two cards in the row below have been placed. Cards must always be supported by the two cards immediately below them but they do not relate to the rows above or beneath in any way i.e. the first row could start with a 10 while the next row starts with a 1.If players complete the mountain and top it with a summit card they win; if a player cannot take an action on their turn everyone loses.Tranquility: The Ascent includes three mini-expansion modules that can be added separately or together. The Green Path requires players to form a continuous path from the bottom to the top of the mountain. The Panorama module gives players specific number sequences to photograph. And finally herd The Mountain Goats up to the summit where the grass is greener in the final module.

Rolling Japan is a light multiplayer solitaire dice game. Each player has a map of Japan that's divided into the 47 prefectures which are then bunched together into six differently colored areas.On a turn a player draws two regular six-sided dice from a bag and rolls them; the bag starts with seven dice six matching the colors of the areas on the map along with a wild purple die. All players now write down each number rolled on any prefecture of the matching color i.e. if the blue die shows 4 and the yellow a 2 write a 4 in one blue prefecture and a 2 in one yellow prefecture. If the purple die is rolled you can place this number in a prefecture of your choice; additionally three times per game you can choose to use a non-purple die as any color. However neighboring prefectures — including those in different areas connected by blue lines — can't have numbers with a difference larger than 1; if you can't place a number without breaking this rule then you must place an X in a prefecture of the appropriate color. (If all the prefectures in an area are filled you can ignore the die or use one of your three color changes to place the number elsewhere.)After six dice have been rolled mark one round as being complete then return the dice to the bag and start the next round. After eight rounds the game ends and whoever has the fewest Xs on her map wins.

The longer the stream of ascending numbers the more points she scores.Once twenty tiles have been drawn and the scoresheets filled players tally their points for each stream of non-descending numbers and the high score wins.The second edition of Streams includes normal and expert rules.

Can you make fields of cards bloom in a single color while respecting the number limits?FLOWERS consists of a 108-card deck with cards coming in four colors and values 1-4. Each player starts with a random card in their play area and the remaining cards are divided into stacks with one being face down and the others having the top card face up.On a turn draw a card from the top of any stack then either place it adjacent to a card already in your field or on top of a card in your field. If you draw a face-up card flip the next card in the stack face up. When a player takes the last card from a stack they place it then the game ends.At game's end every 4 in your field must be part of a group of exactly four 4s and the same goes for every 3 and 2 in your field. Each 1 must not be adjacent to another 1. Any cards that violate these rules are removed from your field (including any covered cards) and you lose 1 point for each card removed. Then for each group of colored cards in your field that contains at least five adjacent cards score 1 point for each of these cards. Finally if a card with a butterfly is adjacent to a card of the same color as the butterfly score 1 point for that card. Whoever has the most points wins.
