Ricochet Robots is less of a game and more of a puzzle, which explains why there's such an odd number of solutions possible. There's a four-piece modular board that forms a large room with walls spread around the board. There are also color-coded targets on boards. Placed on top of the surface are four robots. The idea for each turn/puzzle is to get the like-colored robot to a randomly selected target. The trick is that once a robot starts moving, it will continue to move until a wall or another robot stops it. Therefore, players are seeking a sequence of moves for the robots that will enable them to move the required robot to the target in the fewest moves.

Figure It, a.k.a. Domemo or Code Mine, is a captivating game with simple rules that challenges players to discover their own set of numbers — numbers that other players can see, but not you — using probability and deductive reasoning.

The game includes seven "7" tiles, six "6" tiles, five "5" tiles, and so on down to one "1" tile. A player can deduce their tile numbers based on the other players' tile distribution.

Deduce your numbered tiles first to win! Each player is assigned numbered tiles that they cannot see but are visible to all other players. On your turn, call out a number you think is part of your set to break your secret code! Use your deduction skills in this captivating game for the whole family! Can you crack your secret code?

This game is clearly a variation of Alex Randolph's own »Code 777«.
(Other similar games are e.g Coyote, What's that on my head, Egghead , and many others ...)

Note: The name P. Halvah on the cover of the first Domemo-version (Ravensburger German edition from 1975) is one of Alex Randolph's pseudonyms !

  • Simultaneous play - no waiting, everyone goes at the same time!
  • Simple rules with lots of strategy.
  • Get into your opponents heads to prevent them from winning by trying to play the same card they will play!

    • Rarely is a game broken down to its barest elements like this one (one of the others being For Sale). Raj was originally printed as Hol's der Geier. Its main 'simultaneous action' mechanism has been used numerous times: most recently as Sky Runner, or Olympia 2000 (v. Chr.), or even For Sale to a certain extent. Players are given an equal deck of cards from one to fifteen. Each turn, a prize tile is randomly selected from a pool. The prize tile either has positive or negative points, and each player is attempting to gather the most positive points from these prizes. Players secretly select one of their remaining fifteen cards, and reveal them simultaneously. The highest card gets the prize (if positive), or the lowest card get the prize (if negative). However, if two people play the highest (or lowest) card, they cancel each other out and the prize goes to the next in line...

    A card will be flipped over in the middle of the table with a number from -5 to 15. Players will place one of their card face down, and everyone will reveal their cards all at the same time. For positive points, the highest number card without a match wins, but for negative points, lowest card "wins". The person with the highest score at the end wins!

    The small island of Kuchinoshima has been hit by a terrible storm, leaving the village with only a single fishing boat. Each hoping to prove themselves the village’s best fisherman, 2-4 players take turns moving the boat marker around the island, collecting any fish tiles they land upon. At the end of the day, the player with the best haul wins, but there’s a twist – with 3 or 4 players, each player’s score is added to the player to their right’s score before determining the winner!

    Big Shot is an auction game in which a set of colored cubes is put up for auction each round based on a random die roll. Whoever wins the bid, places those cubes in areas on the game board. Once an area has seven cubes in it, that area is locked and no more cubes can be added. Whoever has the majority of cubes in that area owns it — except that ties for majority are disregarded, so in a spread of 3/3/1 cubes, the player with only one cube owns that area!

    Players have a limited amount of money with which to bid. They can take one loan each turn, but the first loan gives them only $9 more, while the second loan gives them $8 and the third $7. At the end of the game, the player must repay $10 for each loan taken, with that money coming from the value of the property they now own.

    At the end of the game, players tally the value of what they own (with some properties being doubled in value if the player owns that region's doubler as well as areas within that region), then repay all loans. Whoever has the most money wins!

    In Die Heisse Schlacht am Kalten Buffet, alternatively released as Kangaroo and Generalowsky, players try to win prize cards from the limited number available to them — but to win they must lap a circular track that (typically) consists of 21 spaces, and not only must they circle the track, but they have to do so while being top dog, so to speak.

    On a turn, a player rolls 1-3 six-sided dice to determine whether she moves and if so how far she moves. She rolls the dice one by one, stopping when she wishes, and the sum of the dice rolled can't exceed 7. If she rolls only one die, she moves forward by the number rolled; if she rolled two dice, she moves twice the sum of her dice (if the sum ≤ 7); and if she rolled three dice, she moves three times the sum (again, if the sum ≤ 7). If her sum exceeds 7, she removes her piece from the board and starts the lap from the beginning next turn.

    If one piece lands on another, the bottom piece must carry the top one when it next moves; what's more, the owner of the piece on top dictates how many dice the bottom player must roll — and if those dice sum to more than seven, then both pieces are removed from the track. Stacks can have any number of pieces, and whoever is on top dictates to the active player how many dice she must roll. When a piece in the middle of a stack moves, it leaves all pieces below it in place.

    When a piece or a stack lands on or passes the final space in the lap, the owner of the topmost piece takes one of the prize cards; each prize has a value on it, and once all the prizes have been claimed, whoever has the highest sum of prize cards wins.

    The 2014 edition of the game, Mahé, allows for play with up to seven player turtles, who are circling the island while trying to lay their eggs on the beach and receive points for doing a good job.

    Description from the publisher:

    In Tief im Riff ("Deep in the Reef"), players work cooperatively as fish swimming through a coral reef to turn over 28 sea animal tiles placed around the game board. The fish start in one location, then travel through a series of paths — following the arrows as they move — to reach openings in the reef.

    On a player's turn, they roll a die, then choose one of the four fish and move it along paths a number of spaces equal to the number rolled. After they finish moving, if they're on a space all by themselves, they can reveal a tile that has only one bubble on it. If they share a space with other fish, they can reveal a tile with as many bubbles as the number of fish on that space. Thus, players need to keep their school from wandering too far apart as they travel through the reef.

    If the players manage to reveal all 28 tiles before all four fish have swum out of the reef, then they win!

This might be easy to do, except that the ships are composed of two separate parts: the motor and the rest of the ship, with the latter part tending to turn in every direction except the way you want to go, but since you must move the ship by pushing on the motor with only one finger, sometimes you can't help traveling in directions unintended.

    Players take turns via a chronometer/egg timer, and the first player to reach the end of the track wins!

    In this very simple children's game, all six snails are in play regardless of the number of players. Each player bets which two snails will come in first and last. Play goes counter-clockwise; on your turn, you roll both coloured dice and advance the corresponding snails by one square if their colour comes up (or the same snail two squares if its colour comes up twice).

    In Bison, a.k.a. Buffalo, one player represents Indians who are trying to keep the village from being overrun by buffalo. This player moves the Indian chief and his dogs while the other player takes charge of the herd of rampaging buffalo, all of which are represented by nice little wooden pieces. Each side has its own style of play as the pieces move differently.

    This clever little game combines the elements of a good, logical deduction game and Indian poker. Each player receives a rack for keeping three tiles drawn from a pool of tiles, which are seven different numbers in seven different colors (28 tiles in total), however the rack is turned away from you. When players sit in a circle, each player can see everyone else's tiles, except their own. Each turn, players draw a card with a question like, "Do you see more yellow sevens or more blue sevens?" which should help the others' determine their tiles. Once you're reasonably sure, then you can take a guess. But if you're wrong, you have to start over with a fresh set of tiles...

    Code 777 was explicitly inspired by What's That on My Head? and Alex Randolph credited Robert Abbott with co-designing it based on this.

    In 2010, Stronghold Games released Code 777 in a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, adding both a 5th player and symbols to make the game colorblind-friendly.

    From the Stronghold Games version of Code 777:

    The classic code-cracking game is back in a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition!

    Crack your code first! You can see your opponents' codes but not your own. Using questions and logic, try to deduce which three numbers are hidden in front of you. Once you're reasonably sure, then you can take a guess. But if you're wrong, you have to start over with a fresh set of tiles...

    This 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Code 777 has been expanded to allow for up to 5 players (from the previous 4 player editions). All of the components have been upgraded to the highest-quality levels. And our Code 777 is also the first edition to be colorblind friendly! Stronghold Games is proud to bring this great deduction game back into print by popular demand after being unavailable for over 10 years worldwide.

    Out-maneuver your fellow “worms” in this fast, frolicking family game. Designed by the remarkable Alex Randolph, Worm Up! is a game of fun involving luck, strategy, and just the perfect amount of total chaos. This is the second edition of the game with wooden game pieces.

    Each player must choose a unique number to reveal on their die. Successful players move their worm’s segments from the back to the front (or vice versa, if need be), according to their selected number. Weaving around and cutting off other players or moving the finish line is both encouraged and expected… sometimes forcing other players to wriggle their worm’s segments in reverse. You can’t tell until the very end which worm will end up crossing the finish line first to win the game! Alex Randolph wasn’t just a game author; many consider him to be the archetype of game authors. This game is an homage to his memory.

    "Positively dripping with fun ... Worm Up! is the perfect way to warm up your fellow gamers or just to get some chuckles rolling on a lunch break. I can't recommend the game highly enough… add it to your collection! ~~J.P. Decosse on boardgamegeek.com

    "This wonderful little jewel is one of the games I like most... Fast, frolicking family fun!" ~~Leo Colovini, games designer

    "It's good for families… It's good for kids. It's a good game to play between more serious games. Gentle fun. A happy little diversion. If I were Alex Randolph, the designer of the game, I would consider it a minor masterwork." ~~Bernie DeKoven, Major Fun

    You win the round by:

    • Moving the token you have chosen into the ring

    According to the rules, "the coolest player wins". This is a bluffing game in which players try to move their pawns safely across a bridge. The bridge spans a swamp full of hungry, carnivorous plants (the inside of the game box). This tiny boardgame is contained within the box-the box is entirely covered, inside and out, with the riotous, hungry swamp. A secret dice mechanism provides opportunity for skillful bluffing.

    Reimplemented By Inkognito: The Card Game


    The goal of each agent in Inkognito is to complete a mission, together with his partner. At the beginning of the game, however, players don't know which mission they must fulfill!

    In the standard four-player game, each player guides one of four secret agents. The four characters are allied in pairs: Lord Fiddlebottom and Colonel Bubble are always partnered against Agent X and Madame Zsa Zsa. Each of the four agents is represented by one of four different figures, with different builds: tall, short, fat, thin. Only one of them represents the actual character controlled by a player. The other three figures represent spies which are friendly to him and that are trying to confuse the opposition.

    On a turn, a player shakes the Phantom of Prophecy randomizer to determine his three available actions, e.g., moving on a land route or a sea route. The player moves his figures, trying to reach spaces already occupied by the other players' figures or the Ambassador. When figures are in the same space, the current player gets the right to "ask questions" and inspect some of the cards of that player. By deduction and a logical process of elimination, he can draw conclusions as to the identity and intentions of the other players.

    The first goal of every agent is to discover which of the other players is his partner. This partner has the other half of the "code" indicating his secret mission. After discovering (or thinking he has discovered) the real identity of the other players, an agent must trade his secret mission card with his ally. This will reveal the final mission and what must be done to complete it. If either agent on a team completes the mission, both he and his partner win the game.

    There is another character with an important role in the game: the Ambassador. He can be used to get clearer information about the other characters. Everyone wants to meet him because he is well-informed and can be useful to accomplish your purposes, but he can also help your rivals, so do everything you can to keep him far from them.

    The 2013 version of Inkognito from Ares Games raises the maximum player count to five by allowing someone to play the Ambassador and move it during his turn. He can still gather clues when the other players question the Ambassador during their turn, and the other players can still gather clues from him. The goal of the Ambassador's player is to know everything about the other characters, guessing their identities and builds. If the Ambassador achieves "perfect knowledge" before a team accomplishes its secret missions, he wins the game. ]]>     Age_9+ Arrival-Dec 17 2022 Arrival-Dec 3 2022 Arrival-Feb 26 2023 Arrival-Mar 19 2024 Arrival_Jul 26 2024 Availability_In Stock BGG-Set Category_Family Google-True INV-0-L INV-I Non-TCG Players Maximum_5 Players Players Minimum_3 Players Playtime Maximum_90 Minutes Playtime Minimum_90 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Restock-20221212 Restock-20230220 Restock-20240303 Restock-20240714 Year Published_1980s https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/225218453 Default Title 47.95 100852 AGSAREU002 1812     https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/210530977 2014-01-11T21:31:00-05:00 2014-01-11T21:31:00-05:00 Phantoms vs Phantoms Board Games Asmodee

    When you encounter a phantom on a dark and gloomy night, you never know if he is good or bad. In this witty game, each player has 4 good and 4 bad phantoms. However, all of the phantoms look the same, except a small marker on their backs, so you never know what is standing in front of you! 

    The rules are very simple: Each player, in turn, moves one of their phantoms one space forward, backward or sideways - left or right. Your phantom can easily over-take other phantoms by moving onto their square, but, BEWARE! Over-taking a bad phantom by mistake works against you and brings your opponent closer to winning. ]]>     2-Players-Only Age 6+ Availability_Out of Stock BGG-Set BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 300 BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 400 BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 500 Category_Abstract Category_Family Google-True INV-M-Z INV-P Non-TCG Players Maximum_2 Players Players Minimum_2 Players Playtime Maximum_15 Minutes Playtime Minimum_15 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Restock-20230112_Full_Restock Restock-20240526-Long Year Published_1980s https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/210530977 Default Title 15.95 101294 603     https://www.vaibhavhospital.com/products/189102853 2013-10-26T23:28:00-04:00 2013-10-26T23:28:00-04:00 Rüsselbande (The Piggyback Brigade) (Import) Board Games Drei Magier Spiele

And even if they do not run a race, they gladly demonstrate acrobatic exercises or set up themselves in marvelous pyramids.

    After the board has been constructed, players' take turns rolling a special die numbering 1-4 and moves his pig based on the number he rolled.
