CHANG CHENG

Travel back in time to the Qin dynasty, when the Chang Cheng (long wall) was under construction, in the attempt to unify the provinces and protect them from the "Marauders of the North". Your mission is to build parts of the wall while simultaneously contending with other players to protect the wealthiest provinces. For every province that becomes protected by a player, he or she will collect a reputation point. The idea is to strategically place a fortified wall that will keep the Mongols from taking your points at the end of the game. You will use a combination of double-sided board maps, action cards, event cards, reputation counters, threat counters, and wall blocks to play this game. The person with the most reputation points after the final phase, when the Mongol attack occurs and negative points are thereby distributed, wins the game! The components are a nice quality with well done graphics and even the rule book is evocative of the antiquated paper style.

Contents of Chang Cheng:

4 Game Boards (Double Sided)

Cluzzle is a creative game of deduction that takes only 5 minutes to learn.  First, all players create a vague and puzzling sculpture called a Cluzzle (a clay puzzle). You definitely don't have to be an artist to play Cluzzle because the trickier your sculpture, the more points you'll get. Next, players ask a series of "Yes or No" questions to figure out the other Cluzzles. Players get more points the longer it takes for their Cluzzle to be guessed, but only score if it is guessed by the end of the game. Cluzzle is not only a ton of fun, it has also been recognized by parents, teachers, and magazines for helping to develop creative thinking, deductive reasoning, logic, and communication skills.

The removable top section of the tower makes it quick and easy to empty tiles for a new game. The swivel base allows you to view both sides of the board or to catch the light.

It is the perfect game to play for work parties, or any crowd where people know each other, but not so much that they can finish each others words! The perfect ice breaker, what you do not know about each other, you will soon learn.  It is also fun for the family functions, as children can participate as well. This game does not  require any trivia, acting, sketching, or timers, just a little crowd and some intuition.
The object of the game is to correctly deduce what gifts (there are over 600 gift ideas - depicted on cards) other players would like and to get the gifts that you want.

GNOME CRYSTALS

Gnome Crystals is a game of luck, strategy, and contested spaces, played on a grid of numbered rows and columns. Roll two dice--one with numerals, the other with pips. Place a crystal on any open grid space in line with the numbers rolled. Is someone else's crystal on the space you want? Roll against your opponent in an official Gnome "squabble." Large crystals add +2 to any roll of the dice, as well as additional points in final scoring. But you only get two of these big rocks, so play them wisely. When the crystals run out, tally up the number of times you've managed to position three crystals in a row. High score wins, which is definitely something to phone gnome about!

GONE FISHING!

Who's the best angler?  In Gone Fishing, one player takes the role of the two anglers and tries to catch as many fish as possible. The other player takes the role of the fish and with bluff and skill tries to hinder the anglers from catching fish. The angler player decides where to fish, but must do so in the dark (that is, he cannot really see where the fish are), as the fish cards are placed face down. Because of this, he does not know whether he is catching a fish or garbage. Also, when he is lucky enough to catch a fish, he will not know until he lands it how valuable it is. With clever movement of his fish, the fish player tries to get garbage and small fish onto the anglers hooks!

HANG MAGNET

It's the classic letter-guessing game of Hang Man, but this version eliminates the need for paper and pencil. Hang Magnet features magnetic letters, dashes, and all the parts you need to display words and the little hanging guy on any metal surface. Player A chooses a word and positions a dash for each letter in the word. Player B guesses letters to fill in the blanks. Guess right, and the letter replaces the appropriate dash. Guess wrong, and you add another piece to the hanging man. If Player B completes the word before the hang man is complete, he wins. If not, Player A gets the victory. Display it on the fridge and keep a running game going!

SAYGO

Similar to Scrabble, players are creating word puzzles in a crossword fashion, only with Saygo, you do not have a community board. Instead, players builds their own word puzzles in front of them. Letters are worth points (vowels are worth 1 point, consonants 2 points, and super consonants J, K, Qu, X, and Z, are worth 4) the object of the game is to be the first player to reach 500 points. Every player randomly selects eight tiles and places them face down. Simultaneously, players turn them over and begin building the puzzles with as many letters from their individual pile as possible. Once someone has used up all eight tiles, he or she says "Saygo" and all players will select another tile. If nobody can use their tiles it is a stalemate, and everyone selects another tile. Should players find they can not use all of their tiles, they have the option of rearranging their puzzles as often as needed, in attempt to use all letters. The game continues until all tiles are used and the last person to use his/her last tile yells "done". Once the group verifies the accuracy of the winning player's words, the winner collects the remaining letters and adds them to his/her score. Once a player has 500 points (that number can be lowered or raised if desired), the round is finished and players can play again.

SHAKEDOWN

Load all the cards into the spring-loaded bottom of the ShakeDown Tower and steady your nerves. The first player slides a card from the bottom of the Tower and sets it on top. At least two of the card's corners must extend beyond the tower surface. Each player in turn does the same, with the card stack growing wider, higher, and more precarious each time. You must keep any cards that slide off during your turn. As if lifting the loaded Tower to take a card isn't bad enough, when you draw an Action Card, you must do what it says before you add it to the stack. Actions like "Reverse direction of game play" may not shake you, but wait until you have to "Hold Tower  and  do the Twist!" Play continues until someone draws the final "Top Off" card. Total the points on your fallen cards and hope your score is the lowest, because that makes you the ShakeDown winner!

SORTIE BOOKSHELF EDITION

Sortie WWII Aerial Dogfighting Game is a creative simulation of actual dogfight maneuvers and high-stakes decisions that, in 1943, meant the difference between victory and flaming defeat. Game play is driven by an ingenious card system. One of twelve Aircraft Cards determines your plane and its special abilities. Each Double-ended Maneuver Card gives you two options to strategize your attack. The changing number of cards in your hand determines your all-important altitude. Card illustrations clearly indicate the number of hex-shaped spaces to move, as well your options for pivoting your plane. Climbing, Altitude, Shooting, and your plane's orientation all affect the outcome of every dogfight and, ultimately, whose will be the last plane flying.

The packaging and accessories in this game are of excellent quality, featuring a hinged, wooden bookshelf storage box, intersecting wood gameboard sections, robust metal planes, and nicely-illustrated cards. Quotations and historical references on the back of the box cover offer interesting historical perspective and respectful tribute to pilots and veterans for a lovely gift or an exciting addition to your game favorites.

TICKET TO RIDE

All aboard for a great family game! Ticket to Ride is easy to learn but requires strategic thinking and quick decision making. Your goal is the collect cards of different types of train cars that you then use to lay claim to railway routes in North America. The longer your route, the more points you earn. You can also get more points by fulfilling "destination tickets" which are goal cards connecting distant cities (ex. New York to Salt Lake City). Each turn you draw more cards, clam a route or get more Destination Tickets. You have to balance greed with speed! Ticket to Ride won the prestigious "Speil des Jahres" (Game of the Year) award in Germany for 2004.



Contents of Ticket to Ride:
1 board map of North American train routes
240 colored train cars
110 train car cards

TICKET TO RIDE SWITZERLAND

Calling all fans of Ticket To Ride games!  Jump aboard with the latest  expansion game, Ticket To Ride Switzerland! This newest  game is expressly designed for two to three players and requires a provision of forty trains (and the corresponding scoring markers) and 110 train cards from either  Ticket To Ride, Ticket To Ride Europe, or Ticket To Ride Marklin. The fold out board, like the other games, is nicely featured with the same quality you would expect to find from a Days of Wonder board game. Some of the rules have been changed, compelling players to employ different strategies. Instead of the maximum of forty-six trains per player, this game allows for only forty trains each. For anyone who was working on their last route and ran out of trains, you understand the frustration and importance of this new rule! There are also forty-six destination tickets for the Swiss map, although some of these new cards can take you to adjacent countries. You still earn ten bonus points for having the longest and connected train routes. The locomotive cards (which are the multi-colored "wild cards"  that can stand in for any other color) can now only be placed on the tunnel routes (before they could be played on any route). Also, when selecting cards from the train card pile, you can pick up two locomotive cards (just as you would with the regular train colors) instead of just one. These extra features will make for an interesting game!
Please Note: This is not a stand alone game. It requires components from  either Ticket To Ride, Ticket To Ride Europe, or Ticket To Ride Marklin.

Contents of Ticket To Ride Switzerland:

1 Board Map of Switzerland Train Routes
46 Destination Tickets
1 Instruction Booklet in English, French, German, Spanish, Finnish, Norwegian,

UBONGO


Fast! Simple! Fun! Ubongo! In Ubongo, everybody plays at the same time, racing against each other and the clock to solve their individual puzzles. Each player uses their own puzzle board and 12 differently shaped tiles. One player then rolls the special die and turns the sand timer. Now the race is on as players work frantically to place their tiles and solve their puzzle. The fastest player shouts "Ubongo!" and moves their pawn on the common game board and takes two jewels. The other players continue to try to solve their puzzles and collect jewels before time runs out. The game ends when every puzzle board is used, i.e. nine rounds. The player who has collected the most jewels of one color is the winner but that player won't necessarily always be the fastest at Ubongo!

Families are going ape over Zooloretto, winner of the Spiel des Jahres 2007 Award!

The person with the most points at the end of the game is the winner!
