ETA Q2 2025

In this cooperative game, players have a limited time to find, by touch and feel in a large shared cloth bag, some of the letters needed to write the name of the two animals on their card, a simple one with few letters and a difficult one with more letters.
The players then together try to find the name of the other players' animals.

The residents of Town 77 — located just down the road from Town 66, mind you — can't stand it when houses with the same shape or color are lined up with each other. Try to build as many houses as you can while keeping in mind which houses in your hand can be built at the end.

In Town 77, each player has a hand of tiles, with each tile showing one of seven house styles in one of seven colors/patterns. (The color/pattern of a tile also shows on its reverse side.) The game has 49 tiles in total, one of each possible combination. Each player starts with a hand of random tiles.

The first player places a tile in the upper-left corner of an imaginary 7x7 square, then on each subsequent turn a player adds a tile to a row or column in this square so long as this tile is adjacent to at least one other tile and the color/house style isn't already present in this row and column. After playing a tile, a player can choose to draw a new tile or not. Once you lower your hand size, you can't increase it again. If you can't play on a turn, you're out of the game, and once everyone is out, whoever has the fewest tiles in hand — or who played latest in the event of a tie — wins.

If you play your final tile, you win, but if you don't draw new tiles, you might find yourself unable to play!

Carole – the game that includes a spatula! A player in the role of Carole the cow wants to make funny recipes, but she's missing eggs, carrots, hazelnuts, and chocolate. She takes the wooden spatula, picks up a recipe card, then taps on the table with the spatula to tell her friends the number of syllables in the needed ingredient.

The other players listen carefully while watching the cards of ingredients and try to find one that corresponds to the information they hear.

The first player to collect five winning recipe cards wins the game.

In Zogen, a.k.a. ゾーゲン, the player researchers want to rid themselves of their microorganism cards as quickly as they can, but they can do so only by observing the current lab environment and watching the one thing that changes, then "recording" it by playing their card.

In more detail, each player starts with a hand of sixteen cards, with each card showing 0-4 types of microorganisms, which are named "Maru", "Tsuki", "Yama", and "Siri". The start player for the round places one of their cards face up on the table, then everyone plays at once, trying to lay down a card that differs from the initial card by exactly one microorganism, whether one more or one less.

Thus, if a card shows "Maru" and "Tsuki", you can lay down a card that shows either "Maru" or "Tsuki" or a card that shows "Maru" and "Tsuki" along with one of the previously missing microorganisms. You must say the name of the microorganism that is added or removed when you play a card, then everyone must match the card that you just played.

When a player has only three cards in hand, the round ends and players score points based on their rank in terms of how many cards they hold. Whoever has the most points after you've played the agreed-upon number of rounds wins.

Note: This game is in German. English rules can be found here.

Dragon Dragi and his friends have one big wish: If only they could breathe fire like the adult dragons! So they practice a lot and eat lots of fiery-hot dragonfruits. Today they are having a fire-breathing contest. The participant who manages to blow the floating fire ball into the right volcano field gets to collect the highly sought-after dragonfruits.

Dragi Drache is a dragon-themed action game for children. At the center of the board is a cardboard volcano that divides the board into six sections. Underneath the board (in the box) is an airblower that when switched on keeps a little ball afloat. Each player gets an individual game board and six dragonfruit chits in the same color. One dragonfruit chit per player color is then placed on each section of the game board.

To play the game, someone turns on the air blower, then places the ball on the air jet at the center of the board so that it floats over the volcano. The active player each turn tries to blow the ball into one of the board sections with a dragonfruit chit of her color, with only one chance to get the ball in the right spot. If the ball lands on a board section with a dragonfruit of her color, she takes that chit and places it on her game board. Whether she gets it or not, though, the next player then takes his turn.

The first player to collect six dragonfruits of her color wins!
