Some days, you don’t want to do chores, be productive, or work on your to do list. Other days, all you look forward to declaring is—I AM DONE!

What’s this about? Quite simply, it is a card game where the player who is first to display the phrase “I AM DONE” wins the game. (Unless you’re the Kingmaker, or it happens to be precisely 9:34 pm, or…)

On your turn, either draw a card or play a card, then hold on tight: expect wild swings of fate, unexpected twists, unplanned strategies, and plenty of laughs.

I AM DONE is a fast-playing filler, perfect for moments where you’re searching for a light-hearted game that takes seconds to learn, which will leave you breathless with its wackiness. This game is silly and chaotic—you have been warned…;)

In this cooperative game:
1. Stack cards on a board while telling a short, crazy, funny, wacky story... all within 2 minutes!
2. Together, take on the challenge of remembering the story in the correct sequence!
And that’s when the magic happens: Surprises and Laughter! Because, with the help of all players, having a good memory has never been easier!

Each card correctly recalled in sequence earns the players 2 points. If a player seek assistance, the group still earns 1 point for each card, encouraging teamwork and collaboration. However, be cautious - an incorrect guess results in the group losing 1 point. Aim to continually improve your collective score from game to game, or to climb higher on the success ladder.

The basic rules remain the same across different versions of Story Box.

But each version offers a Themed Expert Variant:
In Story Box Dreams & Nightmares, the Dreams AND Nightmares variant requires you to tell two stories at the same time over the 2-minute period, a dream and a nightmare in two different stacks. You'll need to remember both stories during the recall phase. A variant that's both challenging and great fun.

In the trick-taking game Pass Pass, you need to create temporary alliances and use cunning strategies so that your card's color is in the majority and you can win cards and valuable diamonds.

Each round, players start with eight number cards in hand; cards come in four suits. The first player leads a card of their choice, then each other player plays a card of their choice. Whichever color collectively has the highest sum "wins" the trick. More specifically, whoever played the highest card in this color takes one of the played cards and adds it to their collection; whoever played the second highest card in this color adds the two cards with the lowest values to their collection, then leads the next trick.

After eight tricks, the round ends, and each player scores 1 point for each collected card and 1 point for each diamond on those cards. Additionally, when a player has a set of one card in each color, they score a "pass pass".

After three rounds, the player with the most points wins — except that if a player scores three pass passes, they win the game immediately.

Welcome to the Kung Food World Championships! You, the crème de la crème of Ninja chefs,will need to prepare the best recipes in the fastest time, since only one can be crowned Grand Master of the Wok. Wok’up!

On the signal, all players simultaneously throw an Ingredient token so that it spins a couple of times and falls in the Wok.

If no Recipe card is completed, the players must simultaneously throw in another token. A Recipe card is complete when its conditions are met using one or more of the Ingredient tokens inside the Wok.
Once a Recipe has been completed, the first player to cover the card with their hand wins it, and then places it in front of themselves. Next, the player turns over a new card from a different stack so that there are always 3 cards visible on the 5 decks. The players all take back an equal number of tokens (it doesn’t matter which ones), placing them at the bottom of their respective piles, and then the next round begins. It is possible to complete several Recipes with the same throw. If players cover different Recipe cards simultaneously, they each win their respective card. It is also possible for a player to win two completed Recipe cards at once, by covering them simultaneously.

3. If a player mistakenly covers an incomplete Recipe card, they won’t be able to play for the rest of that round. The Ingredient tokens and Recipe cards stay where they are, and the other players continue to play the round, by throwing their next token.

ln Secret Identity, you must guess the hidden identity of your opponents while trying to make them guess yours.

At the start of a round, you receive a key card that indicates your identity among the eight characters on the table. Using double-sided "picto" cards, you try to give clues to your character so that others can guess who you are, while simultaneously guessing their character — earning points for each success. Each round, new characters appear on the table, giving you and everyone else a fresh face to guess, but your supply of picto cards is never replenished, so you must be judicious when using them in order not to run out by game's end.

After the fourth round, whoever has scored the most points wins. Will you be able to act both as a skilled informant and a sharp observer?

The kitchen is calm. Too calm. All of a sudden, the chaos begins: as bits of cheese fall off the table, mice scurry in to snatch them up!
The cat, who was patiently waiting for this moment, extends their claws and leaps onto the rodents. But they didn’t notice the dog, who suddenly appears with their mouth wide open…
This chaotic crowd chases and squabbles with each other all around the room until the infuriated innkeeper bangs on a pot to disperse the would-be thieves. After all that hubbub, can you remember how much cheese there actually was?

In Cheese Master players are rolling all dice and need to be as fast as possible to figure out how many cheese are left on the floor. Each die will show animal faces or cheese pieces and create a funny interaction that you will need to understand before your opponents.
They are 4 cheeses but 2 mice eating cheese, 1 cat is there, chasing a mice but before they do so, the dog is making the cat running away. So how many cheese pieces are left?
Be quick as the slowest of players will not even be able to take a guess!

Beat your opponents by thinking strategically, but don’t neglect the highly coveted Koi, which can earn you precious points.

Will you be able to retain control and stay Zen in the face of your opponents?

Description from the publisher:

Dreams can be vivid, as if they're actually happening — but when they end, they can be hard to remember. With a little luck, and some careful communication with friends, a dream can be something that's cherished forever.

Dream On! is a collective storytelling game in which players create a dream together. Using the dream cards, they have two minutes to create a dream story. When the timer runs out, they then have to remember what happened in the dream and in what order. They score points for getting the details correct. At the end of the game, they tally up their score to see how much of their collective dream they've remembered.

Thumbs Up! is what you'll say if you're faster than the other players and can arrange your rings first.

To start play, each player take eight rings — two each of red, blue, green and yellow — and places them on the table. Each round states with one player revealing a challenge card that shows a colored image, with numbers on the various colored items. Players then race to stack some of their rings on one thumb in the order shown on the challenge card. The first player to do so claims the card, and the first player to collect five cards wins!

Thumbs Up! includes variants that have you start each round with the rings on your fingers or in a pile in the center of the table.

Players in Gloobz need to act quickly to grab the right things from the table before anyone else can.

Seven plastic items start in the middle of play: three paint cans (blue, red, yellow), three critters (triangular, square, round) and one boss gloob that is all colors and shapes. On a turn, a player calls either "more" or "less", then flips the top card of the deck. Depending on what's called, players race to grab the items that correspond to the color and shape most (or least) visible on the card, scoring one point for each item correctly grabbed. If a magnifying glass appears on the card, players can grab anything they want. If the boss shows up, just grab him and score three points if you do.

The number of points needed to win depends on the number of players.

Attrapez-les tous !
Les Gloobz sont d’adorables créatures mais elles sèment la pagaille partout où elles passent :
rattrapez-les vite ! Selon l’annonce du tour, saisissez les figurines dont la forme et la couleur sont les moins ou les plus représentées sur la carte en jeu. Chaque bonne figurine saisie vous fait marquer 1 point mais en cas d’erreur, une pénalité vous attend. Et des cartes spéciales viennent se mêler à ce joyeux désordre. Ayez l’esprit et le geste vifs pour attraper ces drôles de créatures avant vos adversaires! Points forts : matériel ludique, réfléchir vite, ambiance survoltée.
