1935, Taipei City - a wondrous place that is as beautiful as a dream. Even in a dream, it sparkles and glimmers like no others. In the corner of this dream-like city stood a small coffee shop named Bai-Hua-Tang (translated as "A Hall of a Hundred Paintings"). One day, the owner of the shop disappeared without a trace. As the loyal customers of the shop, you must search every spot in Taipei City for clues and bring the owner back for the worried maids. With your brilliant detective skills, can you find the whereabouts of the wandering owner?

In Scrolls of a Northern City, players travel around the city to reveal Clue Cards or ask for the help from the maids or friendly strangers. Some Mystical Spirits in the city will also assist your investigation. Players must race to be the first to correctly guess the numbers on all 3 set-aside Clue Cards to win the game!

Solitaire rules are also available in the game. At the beginning of the game, setting up a mosaic card pyramid pile formed by all Yellow cards faceup with Red and Purple cards facedown. Only topmost Red and Purple cards are revealed. You play the role of the owner of the shop to move around the city according to Yellow card numbers, and then discard the revealed Red and Purple cards corresponding to the city spots. Challenge yourself to reveal the hidden Clue Cards one after the other in a way that can lead you to as far to the top of the pyramid as possible so that you can find out the numbers of the 2 set-aside Clue Cards!

The sub-tropical climate and environment of Taiwan makes the island highly suitable for cultivating top quality tea. But it wasn't not until the 19th century after English businessman John Dodd discovered some amazing Oolong tea there that the Taiwanese tea business truly begin to bloom and "Formosa Tea" became world-reknowned.

In Formosa Tea, players are tea farm owners competing to harvest the best tea leaves, improve their tea processing techniques, and produce tea of the highest quality for not only the domestic market but also for the international market. With the unique worker placement and worker advancement mechanisms, along with the tea dehydration and scenting processing, players must use their workers wisely to make the best tea in the market.

A game of Formosa Tea is played in four rounds. In each round, players take turns to perform one of the five possible actions:


Send a worker to harvest tea leaves
Send a worker to a tea factory to process tea leaves
Retrieve a worker from the tea factory after tea processing is completed
Send a worker to sell tea in the domestic market
Send a worker to sell tea to international merchants.


After the end of the fourth round, the player who has the most prestige points wins!

Ages ago, before history, before humans walked the earth, ancient beings ruled the darkest corners of the cosmos from beyond. Their earliest followers harnessed fragments of their immeasurable power in earthly objects. Chaos and destruction spread throughout the land leaving no family untouched by darkness. A great war ensued and these once great objects of cosmic power became lost and forgotten in time…

You lied to the other scientists on the expedition to Am’harb, an uninhabited island in the Pacific. Only you, a true servant of the Ancient Ones, is powerful enough to move the deadly dark towers surrounding the island.

Manipulate the towers to strategically scatter your priests and cultists around the island and gain control of the dark altars. Excavate esoteric resources left behind by lost civilizations. Wisely exchange them for the cosmic powers of the Ancient One to advance your position.

Can you solve the Towers of Am’harb and unlock the secrets before your rivals? Do this before the other cults to ensure you and you alone lead humanity from the deadly light and into the peace and safety of a new dark age!

Gameplay Overview

In Towers of Am’harb, you are a leader of a doom cult, and you are competing with others just like you, all trying to unleash the Ancient One of their worship to conquer the world!

Players will take turns moving their set of 4 different sized discs, manipulating them according to the rules of the mathematical puzzle toy Tower of Hanoi/Brahma. Then you send your followers(disciples) to the 2 columns you just moved a disc into, in order to gain control of scoring altars that provide doom points at the end of the game. Your followers come in different sizes, 3 priests which provides 3 influence, and 6 cultists which provides 1 influence; each follower spreads influence to the 8 surrounding spaces, so it can influence more than one altar.

Since players will sit and play their discs on different orthogonal sides of the map, the result is that the vertical columns you can play into will be the horizontal rows of the next player, and generates to very interesting interactions. When playing your followers on to the board, you will need also to pay a cost depending on how crowded the area you are entering, which can be offset by the height of your towers, so you must plan ahead on where you need to concentrate your efforts.

There are 8 different Lovecraftian Ancient Ones to worship in this game, each with a different Cosmic Power for players to rely on. The map is made from dual-sided modular boards, with different layouts for 2/3/4 player scaling; you can start with symmetric distribution of scoring altars, or flip them around for dynamic asymmetric layouts.

The game ends when the first player plays all 9 of their followers to the board, then all other players gets to take one more turn. Then players resolves each altar on the board one by one and give out doom points to the players with highest influence. The player who accumulates the highest doom points awakens the Ancient One of their worship, and releases unfathomable cosmic horror upon the world.

Disclaimer: Moaideas Game Design is not liable for the unexpected or premeditated summoning of any Ancient One or Elder God and in no way endorses or condones belief or membership of any doom cult. All hail, Cthulhu.

    Numeracy Legends and The Gluttony Dragon is a logic thinking and group confrontation game. Players are divided into two teams, the heroes and the boss (Gluttony Dragon), equipped with weapons and armors, defeating one another through speculation of the opponents’ actions.

    Three steps to understand how it works:

    Step 1. Choose character roles. All players are divided into two teams, the hero team and the Gluttony Dragon. Survive and beat the other team to win the game.

    Step 2. Each turn, the dragon player draws two equipment cards, chooses one, and gives the other one to the hero team. After the heroes decide whom to equip, all players secretly choose a combat token and present it together.

    Step 3. A calculation is made for the turn by determining the combat type each player chooses along with adjustments of weapons and armor. The team to first defeat all members of the other is the winner.

    Sniff to win! The Perfumer is a board game played by your nose, a game of real fragrance thanks to a new board game concept that integrates the "sense of smell" into the game rules. With a special printing technology, real fragrances are "printed" onto cards. Get ready for a brand new gaming experience!

    A good perfumer needs to have a keen knowledge of fragrance ingredients and be able to distinguish each of the ingredients by smelling their odors. Drawing on their wide range of knowledge about fragrance, players explore all over the world to collect ingredients, then try to fulfill clients' orders of unique perfumes. The secret recipe passed down by the century-old perfumers is another challenge that awaits players as you must identify the specific ingredients used in the secret formula by smelling.

    So let the journey began — smell all the way around the world to earn the most honors, and become the most celebrated perfumer of all!
