Navigate through the maze by forming words that clear a path to the all-important Target Cards. Place letter tiles that alter the path in your favor, and pick up tiles your opponents leave behind. Activate your own private gardener at that one moment when you just have to break through a hedge.

Contents of AmuseAmaze: 18 Maze Boards 24 Target Cards 6 Playing Pieces 6 Gardener Cards 88 Letter Tiles Rules
AVE CAESAR

Ave Caesar is a board game in which players can recapture the spirit of the Roman Chariot races that took place in the Circus Maximus in 500 B.C. by taking part in a three lap race. Each player gets an identical deck of 24 movement cards and draws three to choose from to start the race. With very easy rules and two tracks to race on (one on each side of the game board) Ave Caesar is a ton of fun. The tracks vary in width and card management is crucial as players can blockade their opponent's path in the narrower parts of the course which may even stop other racers from finishing! The Emperor is watching the race and paying homage to him is a requirement that means players must slow down during the race as they ride past him, adding to the strategy and planning necessary to become the first place finisher. The winner also gets the adulation of the crowds and the much sought after recognition from the Emperor himself! Contents of Ave Caesar: 1 Double-sided Game Board 6 Plastic Chariots 6 Plastic Danari (Tribute Coins) 6 Decks of Cards 1 Rule Book 		BING-OH!

Sure, you've played Bingo before. But Bing-Oh! adds a whole new dimension to this old favorite. A roll of the dice determines where you place your chips on the card. Get six chips in a row and you win. Easy, right? Not when you and your opponents are doing dastardly things like stealing chips, swapping cards, and setting up Road Blocks! Contents of Bing-Oh!: 20 Bing-Oh! Cards 2 Bing-Oh! Dice 72 Bing-Oh! Chips Carrying Bag Game Rules 		BLOKUS

Blokus is a maddeningly simple game! The basic strategy is to place all your tiles on the game board while trying to block your opponents from placing their tiles. The rules are simple: blue goes first, followed by yellow, then red and finally green. The first player (blue) places any piece of their choice in it's home corner. Each color plays in turn. Two pieces of the same color must touch at their corners, but they cannot touch along their sides. When there is no piece left of a color that can be played, that color is considered "abandoned". When all the colors are abandoned, the winner is the person (or team) with the highest score. Players score one point for each square covered, 15 bonus points if they manage to use all their tiles, and 5 more points if the last piece played is the single square. Contents of Blokus: 1 gameboard with 400 squares 84 game pieces in 4 colors Instruction Guide Awards won by Blokus: 2001 Cannes Super As D'or 2002 Spiel des Jahres 2003 Dr. Tony 100 Best Children's Products Mensa Select National Competition Winner

Blokus - Trigon is a "chip off the ole Blokus," but with a super-challenging twist! A new dimension of triangular-created Trigon pieces must be fit, tip to tip with your own pieces, on the hexagonal game board. Angles jut in every direction, so new strategies are always evolving. Think carefully! You can block-and be blocked-at any moment! Quick to learn, challenging to master. Contents of Blokus - Trigon: Game board 88 Trigon pieces in four bright colors Instruction guide Storage tray		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) 1 Scoring Track 24 Actions Cards in 4 Colors (Red, Green, Blue, and Purple) 15 Reputation Counters (Chinese) 15 Threat Counters (Mongols) 56 Single Wall Blocks in Four Colors 4 Double Wall Blocks in Four Colors 4 Tower Blocks in Four Colors 1 China Card 3 Emperor Cards 4 Scoring Pawns 4 Event Cards 1 Rulebook with instructions in English, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, and French		DIPLOMACY - 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Diplomacy is a board game of international (and quite personal) trust, promises, and outright treachery. It's the turn of the 20th century and the seven Great European Powers are vying for dominance. Players of Diplomacy represent England, Germany, Russia, Turkey, Italy, France, or Austria-Hungary prior to World War I. At the beginning of each turn, players meet together in small groups to discuss their plans and suggest strategies. This is where alliances are openly or secretly made and orders are coordinated. Immediately thereafter, each player secretly writes an order for each of his or her units on a slip of paper. When all of the orders have been written, they are simultaneously revealed and then resolved. At this point, some army or naval units are moved, some are forced to retreat, and some are removed. Each turn represents six months of time. The first turn is called a Spring turn and the next a Fall turn. After each Fall turn, each Great Power must reconcile the number of military units it controls with the number of Supply Centers it controls. This is when some units are removed and new ones built. In order to survive, a player will need the help of others, and that will require negotiations, the forming of alliances, and promises - some will be kept and some will be broken. You've got an agenda, and a little back stabbing here and there can't be all bad, especially if it gets you closer to supremacy! The object of Diplomancy is to control the 18 Supply Centers, and in the end, the Great Power that manges to accomplish this tricky task through clever cunning wins the game. Although Diplomacy is best played with seven players, rules for fewer players are included in the "Alternate Way to Play" section of the rulebook. Contents of Diplomacy: 84 Fleets 84 Armies 147 Control Markers Game Board Map Pad Rulebook
DIVIDENDS

Make your fortune on the volatile stock market through stock buying to earn dividend payouts or selling for profits. The key to success in this game lies in a player's ability to make the most money from each stock purchase while taking into consideration the effects of supply and demand on stock prices. While being the first-mover confers tremendous advantage, exercising major shareholder influence on dividend payouts can perhaps give a player the added edge towards financial victory!		DUST

It's 1950 in an alternate history. The Axis powers of World War II are utilizing alien technology to defeat the Allies and the Soviet Union. Dust contains over 800 pieces, hundreds of which represent reverse-engineered flying saucers, walking tanks, aircraft, and other machines of destruction used to wage war in Dust's borderless world. Players vie to conquer and control majorities of the world's lands and seas, while developing their infrastructure and high-tech armies. On their turn, players select a card from their hand that determines their strategy for the turn and need to carefully decide how to spend valuable production points which buy factories and units. In battle, players take turns rolling dice to destroy enemy units until one side is either totally annihilated, retreats, or a cease-fire is agreed upon. Control of a capitals, power sources, and majorities is key to earning victory points. A set number of victory points determines victory and once a player has accumulated half of them, he or she can attack an enemy capital. At that point, all players can join the fray on capital attacks. Chaos may ensue at this point leaving all but the victor, in the Dust! Contents of Dust Strategy Board Game: 1 Game Board 6 Different Armies Each Containing: 24 Production Centers 60 Tanks 20 Mechs 20 Fighters 15 Bombers 15 Submarines 1 Deck of 45 Cards 10 Special Six-sided Dice 16 Power Source Tokens 6 Capital Tokens 3 Majority Tokens 3 Blank Replacement Tokens 3 Reference Sheets 1 Dust Epic Version Rulebook 1 Dust Premium Version Rulebook 		EXALTED - WAR FOR THE THRONE

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!

Guatemala Cafe is a game about establishing coffee plantations in Guatemala, and successfully selling the crop and shipping it to Europe. The game has a market overseer which dictates where the players can establish huts, roads, ships, workers, and whether or not scoring will occur. The scoring track keeps a marker (which indicates the market medium) which moves ahead of the other players. Once a player's points exceeds the markers, the game is over.

You've got the notion to Kill Doctor Lucky, and there are plenty of likely places in his mansion to catch up with him. To succeed, you'll need a weapon and no witnesses. Unfortunately, Doctor Lucky has the annoying habit of living up to his name, and several competitors are determined to do the deed before you. Every attempt gives you Spite Tokens to make you stronger--to take out the doc or foil your opponents' plans. The cards you draw are random, but it takes some serious strategy to be in the right place at the right time. Intriguing, moody art illustrates the game board, cards, and a highly amusing rule book.

You've skulked around the old mansion before, but now the doctor has gotten himself a dog. Guess you'll just have to Kill Doctor Lucky and His Little Dog, Too! "Shamrock" is intent on protecting his master and seems to be every bit as lucky. Fortunately, the dog doesn't get around as fast as the doc, but you'll still have to work around him or get rid of him. Three variants to the original game add to your strategy options. Kill both Shamrock and Dr. Lucky, or avoid Shamrock to zero in on the doctor. Variant #1 lets you kill the dog. Variant #2 keeps Shamrock alive and barking, but now he gets Spite Tokens every time someone tries to take out his master. Variant #3 is a clever combination of the first two. Such a cute, annoying little doggie! Please note: This is not a stand alone game and a copy of the Kill Doctor Lucky base game is required to play.

The Sudoku Sensations Game is an exciting new variation on the addictive Japanese puzzle phenomenon that has conquered Japan, the UK, and Australia and has now made its way to the US! Players complete a partially filled number grid so that each column, row and square includes the numbers 1 to 9 - but only once each! Challenge yourself with six levels to master and two different styles of play, or battle your friends and family in a speed or points contest!

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, and Dutch.
TSURO

In Tsuro, build your own path without your opponents steering you in the wrong direction - or off the board! Tsuro is the quick-playing game in which directions can change as easily as the game plays. The rules are simple - you place your stones, select your tiles, and attempt to build a safe path for your journey. The Paths of other players cross and connect, so the choices you make affect all the journeys across the board. Stay on the right path - your journey begins here! Contents of Tsuro: Game board 1 dragon tile 35 playing tiles 8 markers Instructions		WORLD CUP GAME

Control the destinies of national teams striving to obtain the World Cup, the most coveted soccer trophy on the planet! The World Cup Game is actually two games in one that allow you to recreate the first World Cup, which was played in 1930, and a recent World Cup played in 2002. Each player controls a number of teams during the chosen tournament year. Through the play of cards each player will score goals, press attacks, and run defenses, but penalties, fouls, and offsides can throw off your strategy. As you score goals for your teams you'll also be able to use the power of the match officials to remove goals for infringements. The 1930 game takes about an hour to play, while the 2002 game takes around 3 hours to play. Guide your teams through the rounds to get them as far as possible and hopefully, to the Final itself! The World Cup Game includes everything you need to play the 1930 and 2002 World Cup games. Contents of The World Cup Game: 2 Playing Boards 87 Action Cards 182 Action Tiles 74 National Flag Tiles 36 Plastic Footballs 2 White 'Blob' Dice 2 Natural 'Blob' Dice 3 Score Sheets 1 Rules Booklet
