Communicate… without a word. A cooperative deduction game for 2 players with 168 illustrations, 3 game modes and aimed at beginners as well as experts.

Both players must guess their partner's secret picture among a grid of many illustrations while giving clues about their own secret picture.

During each turn, back and forth, a player must pick and remove from the grid a picture they think is not their partner's secret image. Ideally, the chosen card should give their teammate a clue about their own card.
If at any point, a player removes their partner's secret card, the game is lost.

The magic show is about to start.

Behind the curtain, it is chaos: the rabbits jump from all sides and the hats roll to the ground!

You have to put all this back in order.

Hurry up! The audience is already getting impatient!

In Magic Rabbit, players will cooperate in a limited time to gather in line rabbits and hats together in an ascending order.

The game design is straightforward. At first, place randomly a Rabbit tile face-down under a Hat tile face up. Then, place Dove tokens, depending of the number of players.

Within 2'30", you will have to rearrange the Rabbits and Hats, so they match their number : Rabbit #1 under Hat #1, from 1 to 9.

At their turn, players have to choose one of these 3 actions, if a pile is not blocked by a Dove token :

Look at a Rabbit tile in a Rabbit & Hat pile
Switch 2 Hats between 2 Rabbit & Hat piles
Switch to Rabbit & Hat tile pile in the line

At the end of their turn, player may also move a Dove token from a pile to another one.

Hidden envelopes will bring some new magic trick to spice up the game difficulty. Envelopes comes in 3 levels and each of then contain several game variants to achieve before opening the next one!

The National Bank has hidden a load of money in one of four possible locations — but you have the time to rob only one! Will you be smarter than the other players and pull off the heist of the century?

In Takers, players have five criminal cards from potentially four different locations in hand and will be able to play one per turn. Each gang is the best at robbing one place, is the second best at robbing another, and can't rob the remaining two.

At the beginning of the game, the four location cards are placed face down and one is put aside: it will be the place that will be robbed. On their turn, players can look at an incorrect location card to get info on the right one, but then they have to discard a card, having only four in hand until the end of the game, although maybe they will be able to play their cards for powers, allowing them to take back discarded cards, draw a card, then discard one,...

They can also chose to flip a jewel token. When all the jewel tokens matching the player colors have been placed face up, the game ends and players get points depending on what kind of criminals they have remaining in their hand.

Fruitoplay is a set collection game with simultaneous card selection that's played over three rounds, with each round lasting seven turns.

At the start of the round, create a river of seven "target fruit" cards that correspond to the seven turns. On a turn, each player considers the current target fruit card, then chooses and plays a fruit card at the same time. Whoever plays a card of the same color with the smallest difference from the target fruit wins the target. (If no played cards are of the same color as the target card, the card closest in value to the target card wins it. If cards are tied for closest, ignore them.)

After seven turns, you add your remaining cards in hand to your collection, separating the types of fruit, then you score points by multiplying the value of the column with the most fruit by the value of the column with the fewest fruit. If you have only one column, then you multiply that value by itself...so you don't necessarily want to win cards!

After three rounds, the player with the highest score wins.

Tonight, the queen holds a banquet that everyone will attend. Will they leave a good impression? Backstabbing is fair game, and no trick is too dirty if it allows you to place your favorite families in the spotlight.

In Courtisans, you receive and play three cards on each of your turns. One is played at the Queen's table to sway a family's influence, whether in a positive or negative manner. The two other cards are played in your domain and in an opponent's domain, and they can be worth positive or negative points, depending on their family's status at the end of the game. Choose where best to place your three cards if you want to end up with the most points and win.

Splito is a fun and fast card game for 3 to 8 players! Based on a draft principle, at each turn put a card between you and your neighbor on the left... or on the right! Help each other to complete the objectives but be the smartest to be the only one to win.

Each player receives 13 cards at the beginning of the game, and at the end of each turn, each player chooses a card (Objective or Value) from their hand and decides to place it between themselves and their neighbor on the left or right.

At the end of the 13 rounds, each player checks the Objectives in each zone between the players, and the two common Objectives, revealed at the beginning of the game, are also attributed to the zones that have fulfilled the conditions.

The score of each player is calculated by multiplying the points obtained in the area on their left by the points in the area on their right. Throughout the game, it is therefore necessary to balance this double alliance in order to score as well as possible on both sides and emerge as the sole winner.

The Great Ocean spans the entire known world, and the Myriads Archipelago is in the middle of its expanse.

You are a young Captain, in charge of a small fleet, and you are
traveling the seas to find a few hospitable islands where your people can happily settle and prosper in peace.

In fact, a well-known, ancient prophecy speaks of 5 blessed isles, which are waiting for you to find them, to set up a new realm. So your mind is made up: You won’t ease the helm until you have discovered them!

On each of your turns, you must use your Fleet tiles to create an
island containing the resources required by one of the Prophecy
cards. The first player to form 5 islands, and thus obtain 5 cards wins the game and becomes the new ruler of the Myriads.

Whozit?, first released as Profiler, is a game of co-operative deduction! For example, who would care more about their looks after a parachute jump? Dracula or Lady Gaga? Discuss and decide!

Every round, one member of the team chooses a target character (e.g., Dracula) from six drawn at random. They then draw two phrases from the phrase deck and rank them from -5 to 5. The rest of the team then judges who among the six characters doesn't match up with how the two phrases have been ranked. If the team guesses correctly, the score marker is advanced one spot and the round continues. If they guess wrongly, all cards are discarded and the next round starts. The game ends after five rounds. Can you achieve a perfect score?

No longer the favorite prey of other mountain animals, they ended up bored to death and every year the best fighters would gather around the main temple for a martial arts tournament where they present their most impressive katas in front of a ruthless jury.

Rescuing Mayan treasure is no easy task, especially when the competition is fierce. You'll have to send your explorers in a nearby undiscovered temple to get the treasures stored inside. But watch out! The ancient temple is unstable and its imminent collapse might just ruin your plans... and some treasures might not be worth what you think!

Treasures of Cibola is a 2 to 4 players family game in which each player controls a team of explorers looking for treasures in the legendary City of Gold. Each turn, the players bet a certain number of explorers; the one who bets the most will have first pick on the treasure cards available. But selecting some cards can cause the temple to degrade further, reducing the value of certain types of treasures and forcing players to adapt their strategies on the go. After eight turns, the player who has the most points wins the game.
