Note: This game includes English and Chinese. For a preview, English rule can be found here.

An association game. Draw a card with a word eg. a beach. name something on a beach an then it's the next players turn. You lose if you fail to come up with a word when the bomb explodes.

Similar to its older sibling Pass the Bomb this version is for younger players. Children will easily recognize the familiar scenes on each card.

In turn, each player has to think of an object that might be found in the picture on the card: for instance, if the scene is a beach, then perhaps 'sandcastle,' or ‘bucket,’ or even ‘whale’ might be good answers.

What makes this game a fun challenge is a time bomb which is passed to each player on their turn. Be quick, because the bomb goes off at a random interval somewhere between 10 seconds and 1 minute. If you are holding the bomb when it 'explodes', you have to keep the card. The player with the least number of cards is the winner!

Educational and great fun for kids. 2 or more players. Ages 5 and up

CONTENTS: 55 Game Cards, Rules, Electronic Bomb (Batteries Included).

NOTE: This Junior version is significantly different than the Regular version in that the Junior version does not have a randomizing die and it features picture cards rather than letter cards.

A fast card-based game with beautiful graphics. Each player manages 3 animals: a lion, a gazelle and an hippopotamus. The goal is to move one animal so that it reaches the bar at the top of the board.

To do this, players must wisely use their action cards. The lion can eat a gazelle, the hippopotamus can make the lion go back, and the gazelle can jump very far, but not very often.

A player can steal another player cards during the game, or spend one of his cards.

Very funny game, original mechanisms, maybe one of the top small games.

Players collect ingredients cards in order to cast spells, and the first player to get rid of all of their spells wins the game. So far so good. The bad news is, the cards require between 1 and 4 ingredients. Spells requiring 3 or 4 ingredients might actually help you win the game. Spells requiring 1 or 2 ingredients cause another player to perform a forfeit, e.g proposing to another player.

A simple family card game wherein players try to collect the most fairy-folk in their forest. Each folk has a special effect that triggers when (s)he is played and alters the balance of the game.

Publisher Blurb:

Use your spells to become the Grand Master of the Woods!

The Fantasy forest is in a state of upheaval! Fed up with all the chaos, the inhabitants have decided to elect their own leader. Gathered together in the middle of the forest, dryads, elves, goblins, hobgoblins and leprechauns are engaged in a fierce struggle to see who will become Grand Master of the Woods.

Each race has its own magical power: dryads can steal cards already played by an opponent, gnomes can take two extra cards... Knowing how to use these spells will be vital for victory! At the beginning of the game, each player receives five creature cards. On their turn, players draw a new card and then play a card from their hand, immediately applying its effects. In order to win, players will have to get the most creatures on their side.
