At the bottom of the ocean no one will hear you scream!In Captain Sonar you and your teammates control a state-of-the-art submarine and are trying to locate an enemy submarine in order to blow it out of the water before they can do the same to you. Every role is important and the confrontation is merciless. Be organized and communicate because a captain is nothing without his crew: the Chief Mate the Radio Operator and the Engineer.All the members of a team sit on one side of the table and they each take a particular role on the submarine with the division of labor for these roles being dependent on the number of players in the game. Roles include: the Captain who is responsible for moving the submarine and announcing some details of this movement; the Radio Operator listening to the opposing captain's orders and try to decipher where that sub might be in the water; the Engineer working in the munitions room to prepare torpedoes mines and other devices that will allow for combat.Captain Sonar can be played in two modes: turn-by-turn or simultaneous. In the latter set-up all the members of a team take their actions simultaneously while trying to track what the opponents are doing too. When a captain is ready to launch an attack the action pauses for a moment to see whether a hit has been recorded — then play resumes with the target having snuck away while the attacker paused or with bits of metal now scattered across the ocean floor.Multiple maps are included with varying levels of difficulty.

The KLASK game board is shaped like a ball field with two deep holes functioning as goals in each end of the field. In the middle of the field three white magnetic pieces serve as obstacles – do NOT attract them to your own gaming piece! Your gaming piece is a black magnet. You control it by holding a large magnet under the board. This magnet is connected to a small magnet placed on the field. The purpose of the game is to push the small red ball around on the field with your magnet/gaming piece shoot the ball past the obstacles and your opponent and into the goal hole (Klask). It’s so much fun when your opponent suddenly is covered in white obstacles or you drop your gaming piece into the goal – something which might happen if you get a little too eager!Place the game board on a table between the two players. Place the three white magnetic pieces on the white fields on the board. Put two coins in each point slot next to the 0. Each player has a black magnetic gaming piece in two parts. Place the short (thin) part on top of the board and the long (thick) part under the board in such a way so the two parts “catch” each other. Place the ball in the corner start field. Steer it with the black gaming pieces.The youngest player starts the game. You score a point if:Each time you get a point you must move your coin one point forward in the point slot. The player who first reaches the KLASK field wins.During the game:

Sidereal Confluence: Trading and Negotiation in the Elysian Quadrant is a singularly unique trading and negotiation game for 4-9 players. Over the course of the game each race must trade and negotiate with the rest to acquire the resource cubes necessary to fund their economy and allow it to produce goods for the next turn. Scheming dealing and mutually beneficial agreements are key to success. While technically a competitive game Sidereal Confluence has a cooperative feel during the trading phase as no race has the ability to thrive on its own. Trade well and you'll develop technologies and colonize planets to form a civilization that is the envy of the galaxy.Each player chooses one of the nine unique and asymmetrical alien races that have come together to form a trade federation in their quadrant. Each race has its own deck of cards representing all the existing and future technologies it might research. Some races also have other cards related to unique features of their culture. These cards represent portions of the culture's economy and require spending some number of cubes to use resulting in an output of more cubes ships and possibly victory points. Since each culture's outputs rarely match their inputs players need to trade goods with one another to run their converters to create the resources they truly need to run their society most efficiently and have an effective economy. Almost everything is negotiable including colonies ships and all kinds of resources.Each game round contains an open trading phase in which all players can negotiate and execute deals for cubes ships colonies even the temporary use of technologies! Players with enough resources can also research technologies upgrade colonies and spend resources on their race's special cards during this phase. Once complete all players simultaneously run their economies spending resources to gain more resources. The Confluence follows starting with players sharing newly researched technologies with all other races and following with bidding to acquire new colonies and research teams. Researching a new technology grants many victory points for the prestige of helping galactic society advance. When one race builds a new technology it is shared with everyone else. Technologies can be upgraded when combined with other technologies.The ultimate goal is victory points which are acquired by researching technologies using your economy to convert resources to goods and converting your leftover goods into points at the end of the game.The game is almost all simultaneous play.Sidereal Confluence: Remastered Edition features the same gameplay as the first edition of the game from 2017 but features an updated card layout a teaching guide and an improved rulebook for easy set-up and learning with more visual examples and clear key terms.

Escape: The Curse of the Temple is a cooperative game in which players must escape (yes...) from a temple (yes...) which is cursed (yes...) before the temple collapses and kills one or more explorers thereby causing everyone to lose.The initial game board consists of a row of three square tiles each showing a combination of two symbols say two green adventurers or one green adventurer and one blue key in one corner of the tile. All of the explorers start in the center tile – the safe room – and each player starts with a hand of five dice. Escape is played in real-time with all players rolling dice and taking actions simultaneously. You must roll the right symbols to enter a room and if you're at an open doorway you can roll to reveal the next tile in the stack and add it to that doorway. Some rooms contain combinations of red and blue symbols and if you (possibly working with other players in the same room) roll enough red or blue symbols you discover magic gems moving them from a separate gem depot onto that tile. The real-time aspect is enforced by a soundtrack to be played during the game. At certain points a countdown starts and if players aren't back in the safe room when time is up they lose one of their dice.Once the exit tile is revealed players can attempt to escape the temple by moving to that tile then rolling a number of blue dice equal to the magic gems that haven't been removed from the gem depot. Thus the more gems you find the easier it is to escape the temple. When a player escapes he gives one die to a player of his choice. If all players escape before the third countdown everyone wins; if not everyone loses no matter how many players did escape.Escape: The Curse of the Temple includes two expansion modules that can be used individually or together. With the Treasures module some rooms contain treasure and when you reveal such a room you place a face-down treasure chest on the tile. Roll the symbols on that chest tile and you claim the treasure for use later: a key lets you teleport anywhere a path lets you connect two rooms that otherwise have no door between them and a medic kit heals all players instantly (putting black dice back into play). With the Curses module some tiles curse players by forcing them to place one hand on their head keep mute during play or otherwise do what you wouldn't want to do while escaping a temple!

Each bomb is represented by a card which needs a certain combination of dice in order to defuse it. A player will draw a number of dice equal to the number of players out of a bag and roll them. Players must then decide who will get which dice but each player must take one and only one.It's a simple task: maximize the potential of your dice among all of the players.

Game description from the publisher:You are humanity's last hope.In XCOM: The Board Game you and up to three friends assume the roles of the leaders of the elite international organization known as XCOM. It is your job to defend humanity quell the rising panic and turn back the alien invasion.Where the world's militaries have failed to stand against the alien invaders you must succeed. To do so you must make strategic use of the resources available to you. You must launch Interceptors to shoot down alien UFOs assign soldiers to key missions research alien technology and use that technology to defend your base — all while trying to keep the world from collapsing just long enough that you can coordinate one final mission to repel the invaders for good.One of the more notable aspects of XCOM: The Board Game is the way that it incorporates a free and innovative digital app into the core of its gameplay. This digital companion will be available both as a downloadable app and as an online tool.The app's primary function is to coordinate the escalating alien invasion randomly selecting from one of five different invasion plans. Each invasion plan represents a general outline that the alien commanders will use to coordinate the arrival of new UFOs plan strikes against your base and respond to your successes or failures as it seeks to conquer Earth. The app manages all of these tasks and heightens the game's tension as it forces you to respond in real-time. Then after you move quickly to coordinate your response you engage the enemy in the untimed resolution phase and feed the results to the app. Based upon these results the app launches the invasion's next strikes.Additionally the app teaches you the rules controls the information that your satellites provide you and tracks the progress of your resistance efforts even as it allows you to enjoy the game at any of three levels of difficulty: Easy Normal or Hard.The use of this app does more than simply streamline your play experience and track your turns in real-time; it also permits a uniquely dynamic turn structure. While the variety of game phases remains the same from round to round the order in which you and your friends must play through them may change as may the number of a given phase. As a result while you'll want to know where UFOs appear before you deploy your Interceptors the alien invaders may be able to disrupt your satellite intel and force you to deploy your Interceptors on patrol with limited or no knowledge of the UFOs current whereabouts. Similarly you may be forced to think about the costs of resolving the world’s crises before you know how many troops you’ll need to commit to your base defense.The effect of the app is to immerse you deep into the dramatic tension at the core of XCOM: The Board Game and it ensures that the game presents a challenging and cooperative (or solo) experience like no other. Just like the XCOM department heads that you represent you'll need to keep cool heads in order to prevail.

Pictomania is a drawing game in which everyone is both drawing and guessing at the same time giving a chance for those who excel only at one or the other skill to crush the dreams of other players.Pictomania lasts five rounds and at the start of each round you set up six randomly drawn cards on card racks visible to all players. Cards are double-sided come in four levels of difficulty and include seven related words on a single side. In addition to a set of guessing cards scoring tokens marker and drawing board each player receives one symbol card and one number card which together indicate which word or phrase on the revealed cards that player must draw. Bonus tokens equal to one less than the number of players are placed in the center of the table.Players simultaneously look at their cards and start to draw. While drawing they can also watch what others are doing and place a guess card on that player's stack. Only one guess per player is allowed and once you make a guess you can't change your mind. Other players will ideally be playing guess cards on your stack too. Once you have finished drawing and guessing – and you're not required to do either – take the highest-valued bonus token from the center of the table and take no other actions. Once the final bonus token is claimed the round ends.One by one players reveal what they were drawing and the guesses that others made. Those who guess your word earn one of your scoring tokens with early guessers earning more points while those who guess incorrectly have their card placed in the center of the table. Once all the guesses are resolved you determine the black sheep – the player who made the worst guesses. If a single player has more cards in the center of the table than anyone else then his bonus token (if any) counts as negative points. What's more if no one guessed your word then you throw away your bonus token scoring nothing for it. You sum positive points for the round (a bonus token scored and scoring tokens from the words you guessed correctly) then subtract points for the black sheep bonus and all the scoring tokens you didn't give away to determine your final score for the round which could be negative.Reset the bonus and scoring tokens set up six new cards hand out the symbol and number cards and start another round. The player with the highest score after five rounds wins.

U-BOOT: The Board Game is a fully cooperative real-time tabletop game of WW2 submarine warfare designed by Iron Wolf Studio. It allows 1 to 4 players to assume the roles of the Captain the First Officer the Navigator and the Chief Engineer on board of a type VIIC U-boat. The game is driven by a companion app allowing for an unprecedented level of realism as well as a challenging enemy A.I. which will push your skills to the limit. The action unfolds both on the strategic and the tactical scale always demanding teamwork efficient crew management and quick situation assessment.Each of the four roles entails unique responsibilities encouraging the players to develop an efficient communication scheme and use genuine navy terminology. The Captain oversees the completion of mission objectives supervises action point costs and is responsible for the crew's morale. The First Officer operates the companion app manages the flow of information and takes care of the crew's health. The Navigator steers the submarine by setting its course and depth but also updates all the essential information on the strategic and the tactical map. Last but not least is the Chief Engineer who is responsible for the engines repairs as well as other mechanical implements on board of the U-boat (such as the ballast tanks weapon systems etc.). At the same time each of the four officers commands his own group of crew members by issuing orders within a worker placement system.The idea behind the companion app is to deliver a real-time realistic gameplay experience. To that end the app features the most essential instruments of the u-boat (such as the periscope the hydrophone and the Enigma among others). Rest assured however that the vast majority of gameplay traditionally takes place on the game board with the instruments revealing otherwise hidden information and the app requiring only certain data (such as the U-boat's course speed etc.) in order to generate an adequate A.I. response of the enemy force. It is also responsible for all the ambient sound effects thus immersing the players even deeper into the claustrophobic interiors of the type VII C. But fear not! With open & play being a design priority you will be launching torpedoes in no time thanks to streamlined rules video tutorials and variable difficulty levels for each player.From quick skirmishes through full combat missions to an all-out campaign UBOOT: TBG will let you conduct submarine operations in all major naval theatres of the 2nd World War. Success of these missions hinges on the completion of various tasks delegated to the crew by the Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine (German Navy HQ) which include patrol duty ambushing convoys laying mines in enemy waters and many more! Each mission will require the players to adopt various strategies and different play styles in order to successfully complete it and the companion app will generate a detailed report at the end of each game session (evaluating player efforts and possibly awarding decorations promotions etc.). That is if the U-boat makes it back home...The stage is set and the crew is awaiting your orders. Do you have what it takes to command the Kriegsmarine's finest? Hunt or be hunted as you brave the stormy seas of the greatest conflict in history!—description from the creator

While you're doing this another player flips a 30-second sand timer four times giving you two minutes to answer as many questions as possible. At the end of that time multiply the number of answers you gave for the questions from the left and from the right to determine your score.In the second round you do the same thing once again with new questions but you must tell the player watching the sand timer to flip it before it runs out of sand with a maximum of two minutes of playing time. If you fail to tell the player to flip the timer before it runs out of sand your turn ends immediately. However your turn ends you score points as described above.In the third and final round you must do everything described in the third round except now the sand timer is hidden from your eyes!—description from the publisher

A new tile must be placed next to an already placed tile but the environmental borders don't have to match.

Natives!The Maitre d'Hotel notes as best as he can all the orders from the waitress and constantly repeats them to the cooks. He has the pivotal role of the restaurant he makes the link throughout the game between the room and the kitchen and is responsible for coordinating and managing the whole.Each Cook manages types of food by having the piles of corresponding cards and is also the expert cook of a continent: he thus has all the cards of this continent. Each of these cards corresponds to a language and includes the six dishes that are served in that language.Each dish is written by a transliteration (as it is understood in French) and accompanied by the name and drawing of one of its ingredients. When a cook has found a dish on a card he asks the others for the necessary ingredient (if he does not have it himself) and gives these two cards (language + ingredient) to the head waiter. The latter therefore adds to these two cards the appropriate table card (which he would normally have noted down!) and gives everything to the Waitress. As soon as the Waitress can she will serve the table on the app by selecting the table in question then the right ingredient then the right language!So satisfied customer?[kosmopoli:t] is scalable!

The Illiterati are an evil secret organization that has taken over the world. Your job as a member of the League of Librarians is to save the world's books — one word at a time.Illiterati is a real-time co-operative word game in which players work together to form words and bind books. Each player starts the game with five letter tiles and a red torched book that shows a condition that player must achieve to restore that book e.g. using 8+ tiles with at least 3 green symbols create words that are all animals. A library of three random tiles is placed in the center of the table. The game takes place in three-minute rounds and before the round begins each player draw seven letter tiles from the draw bag.Once the countdown begins players can talk and trade letters as much as they want with one another and the library to try to achieve their goal. Once time ends if the library contains too many letters — and this threshold is based on your difficulty level — then you trigger a burn event. Flip all of these letters face down then remove one of them from the game then discard excess letters to the discard bag. If you burn too many letters you lose the game. If you didn't burn any letters and you've completed your goal flip your red book face down and draw a blue waterlogged book to give yourself a new goal.At the end of the round draw an illiterati villain card and resolve its effect. If you've drawn this villain previously — and the deck contains five copies of five villains — then all of the previous effects from this villain also resolve in a chain attack from newest to oldest. Villain attacks often strip letters from words which means you'll need to create new words with what's left during the next round to avoid burning another letter.Once all players have completed two books — or three or four depending on your difficulty level — draw one more book the Final Chapter with all players needing to complete this challenge in the same round e.g. using 12+ tiles create words in which all of your vowels are the same color. If all players meet this goal during the same round you win; if even one person fails another villain attacks then you draw new tiles to start another round. You can discard and redraw up to seven tiles at the start of a round but you must draw a second illiterati villain card that round — and if the villain deck runs out you lose.

Wordsy is a streamlined re-implementation of Prolix a word game from 2010.Each round players study the 8 letters (always consonants) on the board in real time. The first player to write down a word flips a 30-second timer.

Players are not limited to the letters on the board; they can add any letters they'd like. Letters score based on which of the 4 columns of the board they're in and how rare they are.After the fastest player scores the first player clockwise scores their word and compares it to the fastest player. If that player scored more than the fastest player they score a small bonus.Every other player scores their word and checks for a bonus. Once they've all done this the fastest player scores a bonus if their score is equal to or higher than half the other player's scores.After 7 rounds players add the scores their best 5 words plus their bonuses. The player with the most points wins!

The first settlers of mars are arriving soon but the colony is not ready yet! You are the robots that are trying to build the colony before the settlers arrive. The goal in Magic Maze on Mars is to build domes where the settlers can live then to guide them to their domes when they arrive. When time runs out they are out of oxygen.To begin place the starting tile in the middle of the table. Deal out the appropriate action tiles and shuffle the four A tiles in a pile face down.Creating resources: A player with blue on their action tile can always create blue resources at the blue factory so long as a resource is not already there. The player simply takes a blue resource from the bank and places it on the resource station next to the factory. The resources of other colors are built on the factories of their color with these factories becoming available when you build new tiles.Moving resources: Players can move resources along the roads with a color that they have on their action tile. A player might have an action tile that shows red and orange so they can move resources along red and orange roads. You move resources from one station to another but each station can hold only one resource and resources cannot move through a station that holds another resource.Note: When moving resources you must physically move the resource all the way so the other players can see what is happening. Even if there is a long stretch of road that you are able to move on you cannot move the resource directly.Building new tiles: To do this you need to have a resource of the station's color on the station e.g. a blue resource on a blue station. Once the resource is there a player with this color on their action tile can remove the resource and place the top tile face up at the position. Place the tile with the small arrow pointing from where it was build.Watching the time: As in Magic Maze players have a time limit in Magic Maze on Mars. To flip the sand timer you must move any resource onto a timer space. Return the resource to the bank and place a timer token on the timer space to show that it cannot be used again. By doing this you send a signal to the settlers that the colony is not ready yet; they will then orbit Mars once more before landing but they can't do this indefinitely.Building domes: Some tiles have spaces available for domes. In order to build a dome you need to place the depicted resources on the dome spot e.g. green yellow and red. When all the necessary resources are placed on the dome any player can put all the resources back in the bank and place a dome (taken from the communication board).When you have built all the domes the settlers arrive. Place all the settlers on the rocket. Then move the settlers just like you move resources. You have won as soon as one settler inhabits each dome. There cannot be more than one settler on each station and they cannot walk through resources. Once the settlers arrive you can no longer flip the sand timer!

Forgetting something you saw only seconds earlier is one thing; remembering something that has never happened is the opposite experience. Both of these feelings come together in Déjà Vu with players reacting to cards as they pass to grab repeated objects.In more detail the 36 object tiles are spread out around the deck of cards. These objects are each pictured on cards in the deck exactly twice. The cards in the deck are revealed one by one and if you think that an object on a card has appeared previously then you can grab the corresponding object tile and place it in front of you. Are you sure of what you saw? You better hope so because if a newly revealed card matches an object tile lying in front of you — and an opponent spots that tile in time and identifies your false memory — then you're out of the rest of the round.Once you finish going through the deck players score points for the items they collected. A total of three rounds are played and with each subsequent round players might find it harder to remember exactly what they've seen. Was the object shown before or am I thinking of the previous round? Whoever collects the most points after three rounds wins!

In Enigma players are exploring an ancient temple solving different problems to make their way from room to room.Problem solving is done simultaneously in four different categories — tangrams block-stacking canal-building and balance problems — and those who succeed expand the temple with the problem tile they solved thus adding a new chain of rooms inside the temple or extending an existing chain of rooms.

The game ends when somebody reaches 15 points and the player who has the most points wins.

Micro Robots a simultaneous play game inspired by Alex Randolph's classic Ricochet Robots challenges players to quickly determine how a robot can move from one spot on the grid to another.To set up choose to use the black or copper side of the four game boards then arrange them in a 2x2 square. Each game board shows nine dice and once arranged the completed grid shows 36 dice with the dice being numbered 1-6 and showing six colors with each combination of number and color appearing exactly once. Roll the color die and number die to determine the starting location for the transparent robot then mark this space with the transparent starting token.In a round roll the two dice to determine the target space; you can mark this space with a transparent victory token or simply have everyone remember which space they're trying to reach. Everyone simultaneously tries to figure out how to move the robot to the target space and to move the robot it must move orthogonally to a space that shares either the color or number of its current location. If the robot starts on 3-green for example it can move orthogonally to any space that shows either a 3 or is green; if you'd move it to 5-green it can now once again move orthogonally to any space that shows either a 5 or is green; and so on.As soon as a player has a solution they yell out the number of moves then take the robot and demonstrate the solution. If the solution takes exactly the number of moves claimed the player earns a victory token; if not the player gives one of their victory tokens (if they have any) to the player with the fewest tokens. In either case the former target space becomes the new starting space for the next round.If any player possesses five victory tokens they win! If the 25 victory tokens are distributed before someone collects five then whoever holds the most tokens wins with ties being possible.Expert Micro Robots players can increase the challenge of the game by placing the target victory token on the board then rolling the two dice once again. The players must now determine a solution that first moves the robot to the space showing on the dice then to the final destination.The transparent robot in Micro Robots can also be used in Ricochet Robots. This robot moves like any other robot in that game except that for an additional move it can pass through a wall instead of stopping at it. It cannot move through the central barrier or the exterior walls and the only target space on which it can land is the colored vortex.

Quicksand is a real-time co-operative game in which players work together to deactivate the Quicksand a dangerous trap of gears and sand. You can't just race as quickly as possible though because you must avoid setting off the trap.To set up choose one of the 20+ scenarios then lay out the gear tiles in the specified path and place the appropriate sand timers — which have different amounts of sand in them — on the first gears of the path. (The path might have obstacles on it based on the particular scenario.) Gears feature both a color (orange yellow gray) and a shape (square circle crescent). Each player starts with a hand of three cards with a card showing one of the three colors one of the three shapes or a sand timer.Once the game starts players play a card in turn to try to advance the sand timers and keep them from running out refilling their hand after they play. When you play a color or shape card you flip all of the sand timers currently on this color/shape advancing them one space on the path if that next space is empty. When you play a sand timer card you flip any one timer advancing it if possible. (If no timers are on gears matching the played card nothing happens.)If a sand timer runs out flip it and place it next to the gear on which it was previously located. If someone plays a sand timer card they can recover this timer by flipping and placing it back onto the gear — but only if that tile is empty. If a set-aside timer runs out again players lose the game.Once a timer reaches the last open space on the path played cards matching that gear's color/shape will flip it — and if it runs out you lose the game with no chance of recovery. If the sand timers fill the final gear tiles on the path without this happening you win!

Whoever rids themselves of cards first wins!The entire deck is split between 2-8 players who then place their individual stack of cards face-down in front of them. Each person takes a turn flipping a card face-up on a pile in the middle while saying the words “Taco,” “Cat,” “Goat,” “Cheese,” “Pizza” — in that order.

To set up the basic game lay out 30 cards in a grid and give one card face down to each player. Each card has five attributes with each attribute having two states: large/small with/without a raised arm orange autumn/blue winter background with/without goggles and with/without canned fish. 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. 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.To set up for the next round give each player a new face-down card and fill in the holes in the grid. When the deck runs out complete that round after which the game ends. Whoever has collected the most cards wins!Pick-a-Polar Bear includes two game variants. In the first the player who has obtained the most cards in the preceding round cannot grab a card that's identical to his top card in the current round. For the second variant shuffle eight bonus round cards into the deck. If when laying out the cards in the grid the dealer reveals the back of a bonus round card when at least ten cards are on the table everyone prepares for the bonus round. The dealer reveals this card which shows two card elements such as upraised arm and goggles and everyone races to yell out how many cards in the grid feature these two elements. Whoever yells out the correct answer first receives the bonus round card which is worth 2 points; whoever yells out the wrong answer takes a -2 point penalty card. The dealer then continues filling the grid. (If the grid contains fewer than ten cards when a bonus round card comes up in the deck discard this card and continue to fill the grid.)

But be careful not forget that when a hen passes by and there is an egg in the pile the hen cannot help sitting on an egg which means that egg disappears! And if a fox passes by and a hen is sitting the fox hunts the hen and the egg comes back! Otherwise it would be too simple! Not to mention the intervention of the other characters in the story...—description from the publisher

Speed ​​Cups² can be played on its own with two players but it can also serve as an expansion for Quick Cups which then allows for play with up to six players.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.In Speed ​​Cups² you don't only have to arrange your cups in horizontal and vertical stacks but you also have to make different stacks!

In Rail Pass 2-6 players work together to deliver as many goods as possible in ten minutes with goods being represented by cubes and with the color of the cubes indicating their destination city.During set-up and before the clock starts players scramble the goods and arrange them in a row across the top of the city boards. The player controlling that city can see all the cubes that must be delivered but can pull goods only from the right or left end of the row when loading them on the trains.Once the clock starts all players take their actions simultaneously in any order and repeating any action as often as necessary. To transport cargo a cube must first be loaded onto a short or long train piece that is at rest in the player's home city train yard. No train can move without a crew peg and no crew peg may travel beyond the adjacent city. In order to transport cargo to more distant cities a train needs to stop and have the crew peg swapped or cargo exchanged between trains. While all this is going on players must avoid dropping or spilling cubes when picking up or handing the train to another player. Additional terrain components such as tunnels and bridges can be placed between cities and act as additional obstacles to negotiate. When time runs out calculate the score by multiplying the TWO LOWEST counts of cubes delivered to a city. Points are subtracted for dropped cubes or cubes delivered to the wrong city and also for crew pegs that traveled beyond their adjacent cities.With six players each takes one of the six main cities each producing goods which are delivered to the other five locations. In some scenarios with fewer players each player may control multiple cities.

The race is on to find out who’s the best chef in town and only the cook with the fastest hands and the cleverest plan will win!Your goal in Fold-it! is to cook recipes the fastest based on the order cards. When an order card is revealed everyone starts cooking at the same time. In order to cook the order each player takes their individual recipe cloth and folds it so that it shows only the items displayed on the order card. The round ends once all players have finished their order and if you made the order incorrectly or were the last to finish you have to give up a star token. If you lose all three of your stars you're out of the game.Once only one player is left with a star token they’ve won the game!

Woodlands transports you to the wonderful world of legends and fairy tales with four different stories of increasing difficulty. Each story consists of several chapters with each chapter showing a plastic overlay that features various collectibles obstacles and that chapter's goal. Each player then builds their own network of pathways on their personal playing board to beat the chapter and score as many points as possible. Once players are satisfied with what they've built the overlay is placed on top of each player's pathways to check which goals they've met.Two additional overlays may be used to increase the difficulty of any chapter — and to increase the difficulty further players may use the back side of their path tiles for a greater challenge.

Build the biggest baddest best Pirate ship on the high seas. Plunder your way to glory and fame!In Piratoons each turns begins with a treasure of boat parts and equipment being revealed. All at the same time each Pirate rushes to allocate crew in an effort to plunder the best loot by placing their crew meeples on individual items as bids. Each piece of treasure goes to the player with the most crew invested in the item but only after removing all tied bids. Therefore Pirates need to stay alert for sneaky opportunities to cancel out an opponent's efforts or for chances to swoop in and steal a disputed treasure.The unclaimed loot is auctioned off with doubloons earned by your crew and then the ship construction begins. Pirates score points for having the most money or equipment or having the fastest best or largest ship. Sets of tiles and unfilled boat sections also add and subtract from your score. The player with the most points after eight rounds is the most notorious Pirate.A featured component of the game is the central loot chest formed by two double-sided boards with raised edges. Before each turn this treasure chest gets loaded with random face-down treasure then it's sealed flipped and revealed simultaneously to the eager Pirates by removing the board on top. The mad rush of plundering in real-time (there is a 15-second sand timer included) and the spatial puzzle to build the best ship possible are the key ingredients of the game's experience.

Ritual is a cooperative game taking place over 3 timed rounds in which players have to communicate with their actions instead of talking i.e. by giving or taking runes (colored stones) to or from other players to redistribute them in order to achive their secret private goals and finally the public ritual.

Greedy Greedy Goblins is a simultaneous play strategic tile placement and bluffing game.Players lead a clan of goblin miners who want to gather the most valuable collection of gems. Coins are scored for gem tiles on the mines you have claimed with bonuses for dynamite tiles — but if there is too much dynamite the mine (and all the riches within) are destroyed!In more detail players sit around a circle composed of cave game boards and the guildhall game board with sixty mining tiles placed face-down within this circle. Each round while playing at the same time players use one hand to look at one mining tile at a time then place it on one of the cave game boards. At any time a player can claim the guildhall or a cave by placing one of their three goblins on the board after which no more tiles or goblins may be placed on this board.Once everyone has placed all of their goblins (or decided not to place them) players resolve the boards. The goblin on the guildhall draws a minion card that provides a special ability while each goblin in a cave scores coins based on the gems diamonds dynamite and monsters found there; these goblins can also take minion cards if minion tiles have been placed in the cave. Dynamite multiplies the value of a cave but three or more sticks blows the place up costing you coins.If someone has one hundred or more coins the game ends and whoever has the most coins wins; if not set up another round and go digging again.

In Nine Tiles each player takes nine double-sided tiles with each side of a tile having one of six images and arranges them in a 3x3 gird. Each image appears a total of three times on the tiles with it being paired with a different image in each of the three instances. (The sets of nine tiles are identical and they have 1-4 dots on them to help players sort the tiles.)Each round one of the thirty goal cards is revealed then players race to rearrange their tiles — flipping one tile at a time or swapping two tiles — in order to make their nine tiles match the image shown on the card. Whenever a player thinks they've done this they slap the card. If they're correct they keep the card; if they're wrong they still keep the card but flipped face-down. If a player collect two face-down cards they're out of the game.The first play to collect four (face-up) cards wins!By combining two sets of Nine Tiles up to eight players can compete at once. When more than four people are in a game reveal two of the thirty cards each round. Each player can claim at most one card in a round.

In that time you must produce goods and manage as many deliveries as possible to fulfill the demands on planets while the other players are trying to do the same thing.However the most unique aspect of Time 'N' Space is the action-selection mechanism in which each of your actions requires the flip of a one-minute sand timer.

Using their individual segmented tiles they’ll have to create a pattern where action symbols match the position of trials of the dream: banishing the nightmares away collecting coins to purchase new segments keys to open chests and star fragments to earn more victory points. In return every trial that is not covered with a symbol will diminish your serenity decreasing your final score.But as soon as one player completes their pattern the hourglass is turned upside-down and all other players must finish their own patterns before time runs out! And suddenly the quiet study of the dream becomes a frantic race to assemble segments...After eight rounds the player with the most victory points wins.—description from publisher

Certain character and building cards cost 0 and give you 1 resource. For example: 1 beer. Other cards cost more: 1 2 or 3 coins can give 2 beers or a victory point from the bread category by the end of the round.Other cards produce coins the moment they're bought in connection the cards that you already possess.In Lutèce every player starts with a hand of cards that lets you pick a character and a building in the range of cards available.

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. You cannot change your claim once you've touched a card. - Each player scores 1 - 3 points depending on the number of donuts on the card they claimed. Incorrect claims lose points. - The Monster Dice passes to the left. Rinse and repeat. - Be the first to claim the Zilch token if there are no matches after the die roll. Get a random card as points and then scatter 10 new Monster Cards on the table. - The game ends immediately when you cannot replenish the table with 10 new Monster Cards after a Zilch has occurred.

In Hey Yo: The Card Game with a Beat you all play cards to a shared music chart so that you can ideally create solid rhythms and score points. The game includes a small dedicated device that you can use to accompany the gameplay with players needing to play a card when the music indicates this. If you can't play in time to the rhythm you're penalized so you must talk quickly to share information and decide which cards to play. (Alternatively you can play music of your choice to set the rhythm of play for the game.)Hey Yo includes two identical decks of cards so instead of playing a co-operative game with 2-5 players you can have 4-10 players split into teams to compete against one another.

Four Gods is a real-time tile-laying game in which players create a world — one tile at a time — before laying claim to one of the four gods of their world and attempting to win followers by sending prophets into that world.In more detail players sit outside of a cardboard frame that represents the limits of the world. Each player starts with two randomly-drawn tiles in hand with each double-sided tile depicting 1-3 types of landscape out of the four types present in the world.When play begins each player simultaneously starts laying tiles into the frame; each tile must be adjacent to two sides to be placed so initially tiles can be placed only in the corners of the frames with players building inward from there. Players can place tiles anywhere that they can legally be placed (two sides are adjacent to the frame or previously placed tiles and all landscapes match across tile borders.Instead of placing a tile a player can place it in their personal discard area which can hold at most ten tiles. When a player has both hands free they can draw two new tiles from the bag; alternatively any player with a free hand can pick up any tile in any discard area and place it in the world.At any point during the game a player can claim one of four gods and that god's followers. Each god is associated with a particular type of landscape e.g. the merfolk god. Once a player has followers they can place a prophet on a tile they just placed to claim that section of landscape. Players can place any number of prophets in a landscape as long as they're placing each prophet on a tile they just added to the world.At any point in the game if a player thinks that a section of the board cannot be filled with a tile — e.g. a space that's surrounded by four types of landscapes — that player can place a round city marker in that space and then claim that city with a prophet. If a matching tile is found later a player can smash and collect that city replacing it with the tile.Once the world is filled or players agree that no more tiles can be placed the game ends. Each player scores five points for each city occupied or smashed. Each landscape with one or more prophets is worth a number of points to the player(s) with the most prophets in it equal to the number of tiles in that landscape minus the number of prophets in it. The landscape with the largest mass rewards its god with a large bonus with the second and third largest masses rewarding their gods with smaller bonuses; similarly the landscape that appears in the most distinct groups rewards its god with a large bonus with the second and third largest groups again rewarding their gods with smaller bonuses.Whichever god has scored the most points wins!
