While exploring a mysterious Egyptian pyramid, you discover a huge vault. There lie the Ancient Relics of Tutankhanine, the Cursed Pharaoh! Were the legends true?

Examining the symbols on the Pharaoh’s sarcophagus triggers a hidden mechanism. The ground shakes and heavy stone doors start to descend. You escape being sealed inside the vault by dashing further into the pyramid, but now you’re cut off from the exit. You’re trapped!

In the distance, you hear frightening growls, as if angry mummies are waking up to punish those who entered their tomb. It seems the legends are indeed true!

Your only way forward is the stone hallway leading off into the darkness...

Your objective is now clear:

Prevent the mummies from touching the Relics of the Pharaoh (they would gain immense power, threatening all mankind).
Activate the hidden mechanisms to wake the most powerful mummy in the pyramid, then defeat all the mummies to lift the curse once and for all!


You have 5 torches left... Run! Run! RUN!

Grow the vegetables, raise the sale price, and make a fortune!

Small Farmer (Vegetable Stock) is a simple card game about vegetable economics. Each round, a number of cards (player number + 1) will be displayed on the table. Each card has 3 vegetable icons on it (a combination of 1 to 5 types of vegetables). Players take turns to choose one of the cards to put into their harvest pile facedown. The last card that was not chosen will determine which vegetables' prices will go up. If the price goes over 6 (5), it will drop down to 1 (0) and cycle up again.

After 6 rounds, you will count your scores by multiply the amount of each vegetable you have harvested with the final price of that vegetable. The player with the highest score wins!

It’s been a tough day in the monkey cage and something in the food tonight wasn’t quite right. In monkey world, there’s only one thing that can be done about it - fling poo!

Each turn, every player gets to draw and play a card, usually either to fling poo at another player or to clean himself off. Out of turn, each player gets to play cards to defend himself or foil other players’ poo flinging.

Rummikub Travel is a smaller, portable version of Rummikub Classic. With smaller tiles and collapsible racks, this is a convenient way to play your favourite Rummikub game on the move. Using the box lid as a pool for the communal tiles, you have everything you need to start laying sets and runs.
If you are not already familiar with its big brother, Rummikub Travel is a compact tile implementation of the card game, Rummy. Played over a number of rounds (or even a single game if time is tight) and using coloured numbered tiles (1-13), players win by being the first to get rid of all of their tiles. Tiles can be laid in sets (or "runs") of at least 3 tiles. These runs can be consecutive numbers of the same colour or sets of the same number using the four different coloured "suits".

After the first turn (which must include tiles which total at least 30), players may add tiles from their own racks of 14 starting tiles to existing runs by and/or rearrange existing sets in order to place them down. Two smiley face Joker tiles are wild and can represent any number or colour. If a player cannot lay a tile, they must pick one from the communal pool.

Beware, however, because any unsuccessful meddling with those melds will result in a 3 tile penalty. Plus, at the end of the game, any tiles left over on players’ racks will sum to form the winner’s victory point total! And that little Joker? Hold onto it for too long and that is a 30 point penalty at end game scoring!

New locations and new challenges are what the land needs! Kingdom Builder: Crossroads includes four new landscapes with two different location spaces to offer new options to shape the kingdom. The task cards challenge players to build their settlements in a certain way in order to gain even more gold at the end of the game.

Crossroads introduces 8 new unique location abilities, two on each of the game board sections. The usual set up and gameplay rules apply, but new pieces are used:

Warriors - Players get two of these in their colour. When placed with the "barracks" location ability, they prevent all building actions on spaces adjacent to it

Wagons - 1 per player. These are placed with the "wagon" ability, and can be moved across the game board.

Ships - 1 per player. These are placed with the "lighthouse" ability, and can be moved across water spaces on the game board.

City Halls - 1 per player. These are placed with the "city hall" ability. They take up 7 building spaces, and count as 7 regular settlements for scoring and placing purposes.

6 task cards are also introduced. These allow for additional end game scoring. The three Kingdom Builder cards are selected as usual, and then 1 task card is randomly chosen for each Crossroads game section that is in play. These show specific achievements that players get points for completing at the end of the game, such as having a settlement on each of the 4 map edges.

While preparing for the winter, the whale riders were surprised by a sudden drop in temperature. The Ice Coast will freeze early and will make the journey for supplies even more dangerous than usual.

The riders bond together and journey as a group one final time from port to port. Many supplies are needed for their clans, and the riders agree to band together and commit to sharing one big consignment in each port.

Soon, however, it becomes apparent that the raiders’ preferences for the offered consignments differ greatly. In each port, the to-ing and fro-ing begins anew to close the most preferred deal…

In Whale Riders: The Card Game, a reimplementation of Reiner Knizia's classic card game Trendy, you ride alongside others to buy goods along the Ice Coast, sometimes working together with others only to become competitors again when a better proposition comes along.

ETA Q4 2024

After a long dark winter, the sun is shining and it's party time for the penguins, who celebrate by fishing. To look over the waters more easily, the penguins build high pyramids. The more penguins you can fit in the pyramid, the better — but it's not that easy.

In Penguin Party, players collectively build a pyramid of penguins, trying to empty their hands of cards along the way. The deck consists of 36 penguin cards: 8 green and 7 each of red, blue, yellow, and purple. Deal the deck out as evenly as possible, with the final card in a five-player game starting as the first card in the base of the pyramid.

On a turn, you either play a card to the left or right of the base of the pyramid, which can be at most eight cards wide, or play a card on a higher level of the pyramid so long as it's supported by two penguins, at least one of which is the same color as the card being played. If you cannot play a card, discard your hand face down and take as many penalty markers as the number of cards you didn't play. If you empty your hand, you can return two penalty markers previously collected to the supply.

Play as many rounds as the number of players, with each player starting one of the rounds. Whoever has the fewest penalty markers at the end of the game wins. (With two players, deal each player 14 cards, remove the other cards from play without looking at them, and build a pyramid with a base only seven cards wide.)

Admin note: This game looks very similar to Penguin, but differs not only in components (being a card game while Penguin has 3D penguin tokens), but also in the number of colors and distribution. Penguin has four colors with nine pieces each, while this game has five colors with a distribution of 4x7 + 1x8.

What's that delicious smell?!?!

The humans are having a Sausage Sizzle and it’s drawing a crowd of hungry Aussie critters! One by one, a Quokka, Crocodile, Platypus, Echidna, Snake, and Kangaroo will try to sneak food away from the barbie. Making off with any food is good, but those sausages sure look the tastiest!

The game is played over six rounds, with players taking turns in clockwise order. On your turn, your goal is to roll and re-roll dice to get many of the same Critter together with high values on the Food dice.

You can choose any Critter you wish for scoring but beware! You can only score one Critter each round, and each Critter can only be scored ONCE during the entire game.

But what about the Sausages?!?

Normally a Sausage on the Food dice counts as a 1, but if you manage to lock in all four of your Food dice showing Sausages, the value of a Sausage jumps up to 7 that round!

What is a Sausage Sizzle?

A traditional Aussie Sausage Sizzle consists of a beef sausage (a “snag”), in a slice of white bread, with grilled onions and sauce, usually tomato or BBQ. It has become an icon of Aussie outdoor living and a mainstay at community events.

Many years after the confrontation with Van Helsing, Dracula landed in Whitby, England once again. The citizens of Whitby sought help from the vampire hunter, Professor Van Helsing. Will Van Helsing defeat Dracula before he transforms all the inhabitants into vampires?

In Dracula vs Van Helsing, each player controls one of the title characters. Van Helsing must remove all of Dracula's life points to win, but if Dracula turns all four inhabitants of the same district into vampires first, Dracula wins.

The game lasts at most five rounds. Each round, players play in turn (starting with Dracula), drawing a card, then discarding that card or swapping it with one of the five cards on their rack to trigger the discarded card's ability. Cards come in eight types, each with its own effect. Instead of drawing (and discarding) a card, a player can call for the end of the round. In order to choose this action, at least six cards need to be in the discard pile. After the opponent plays one last turn, the round ends; otherwise, the round ends when the deck is empty.

At the end of a round, players compare the five cards on their rack. Each card corresponds to one of the five districts on the game board. If Dracula has the higher-valued card, one of the humans in this district is converted into a vampire; if Van Helsing is higher, Dracula loses a health point. If one of the game-winning conditions is met, the game ends immediately.

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players.

The Mensa award winning, Game of the Year, boop, is back with a new Holiday edition and has really leveled up game play (literally!!).

The hoomans are hanging ornaments on the highest boughs of the tree, but those clever cats are leaping up and boopin’ them right off. You can win “Naughty” by knocking off 3 of your opponent’s ornaments or “Nice” by lining up three cats in a row!

The 4-tiered game board ‘tree’ presents a surprisingly mind-bending 3D challenge for players. And the alternate win condition of knocking off 3 of your opponent's ornaments creates new strategic problems to solve, elevating the play experience to a new high!
