Wriggle Roulette

20 Mins Ages 7+ Push Your Luck 2 - 8 Players

Reach into the mud to pull out eels, while avoiding the snakes

In Wriggle Roulette, players take turns reaching into a bag filled with eel and snake-shaped wooden pieces, trying to pull out as many eels as possible - but if the number of snakes grabbed by all players exceeds the limit, a "snake outbreak" occurs, and the player who grabbed the most pieces loses all of their eels.

You want to grab more than everyone else to score big, yet a snake outbreak would be devastating. Will you grab a bunch? Just a few? Or back out entirely? Read your opponents' expressions and control your own greed to make the right call.

Petiquette

20 Mins Ages 10+ Sequence Matching 2 - 6 Players

Play the card you feel continues the sequence of dapper animals.

Each round in Petiquette players look at a line-up of five random cards - with cards showing one of three animals that is wearing one of three hats, with a number from 1-5 at top - and try to find some logic or pattern within them.

Each player secretly chooses the card they think would most properly fit into that pattern. For example, if the sequence is "red, red, yellow...", you might feel that yellow should come next. If it's "dog, cat, bird...", then maybe dog feels right...but what about "dog, cat, dog, cat, bird"?

No single answer is correct, but if someone chooses the same card as you, you both earn points.

The players must enclose their city, including the required buildings from the King's decree — but players must beware for the Vikings will come and lay waste at the end of the first age, forcing players to build their walls anew in the second age.

Players make successively higher declarations regarding the results of all the dice remaining in the game, e.g. "there are ten sixes".

However, someone can always contest the bid. When that happens, all the dice are revealed and either the bidder or the caller loses dice, depending on who was correct. The last player with dice is the winner.

Kingdomino

15 - 25 Mins Ages 8+ Tile-Laying 2 - 4 Players

Build a kingdom with varied terrains on domino-shaped tiles.

In Kingdomino, you are a lord seeking new lands in which to expand your kingdom. You must explore all the lands, including wheat fields, lakes, and mountains, in order to spot the best plots, while competing with other lords to acquire them first.

The game uses tiles with two sections, similar to Dominoes. Each turn, each player will select a new domino to connect to their existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play.

The order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen, with better tiles forcing players to pick later in the next round.

The game ends when each player has completed a 5x5 grid (or failed to do so), and points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and valuable crown symbols.

Labyrinth

20 Mins Ages 8+ Shifting Maze 2 - 4 Players

Labyrinth has a game board with a set of tiles fixed solidly onto it; the remaining tiles that make up the labyrinth slide in and out of the rows created by the tiles that are locked in place.

One tile always remains outside the labyrinth, and players take turns taking this extra tile and sliding it into a row of the labyrinth, moving all those tiles and pushing one out the other side of the board; this newly removed tile becomes the piece for the next player to add to the maze.

Players move around the shifting paths of the labyrinth in a race to collect various treasures. Whoever collects all of his treasures first and returns to his home space wins!

River Valley Glassworks

25 - 45 Mins Ages 8+ Cosy Strategy 1 - 5 Players

Compete to collect pieces of glass and place them strategically in your shop. 

In River Valley Glassworks, you play as one of these pioneers, drafting glass from the market of river tiles. To do so, you have to play a piece from your inventory into the river.

Each river tile can take only a specific shape, and you must play into a space adjacent to where you want to draft from. After you pick up your glass, the river shifts forward, revealing new pieces and new opportunities.

Store the glass you pick up strategically in your shop. Depending on how the glass pieces are placed, your score will change drastically. Fill in rows and columns to gain bonus points, but don't draft too many of one type to avoid negative points!

Figure out the "rules" for each ring in the Venn diagram by playing object cards!

The point of the game is to get rid all of your cards. Can you figure out the Rings' logic before your opponents? Don't forget, you can play in the overlapping spots of the Venn diagram, or even outside it completely!

In Reiner Knizia's High Society, players bid against each other to acquire the various trappings of wealth (positive-number and multiplier cards) while avoiding its pitfalls (negative number and divisor cards).

Sail

20 Mins Ages 11+ Cooperative Trick-Taking 2 Players

Strap up your piratical boots, and navigate your ship through turbulent waters in this cooperative trick-taking game for two players.

Before each round begins, players exchange cards, then play a series of tricks. Different game actions will be triggered depending on who wins each trick in combination with the unique character skills.

However, the crashing sea water and the roaring Kraken make for a deafening situation, and players are unable to communicate about tactics and card information from the moment cards are dealt to the end of the action phase.

Players win the game as a team if they sail their ship into the final token before the Kraken reaches the Death tile or the Kraken deck is exhausted.

Expand your railroads across the frontier, connecting features for the pioneers.
