In Fishing, you try to catch as many tricks as possible over eight rounds, with each card you catch being worth 1 point. You then use your caught cards for the next round — and if you didn't catch enough tricks to fill your hand, you'll draw fresh cards from the ocean stack, which will introduce new cards for you fishers to fight over.

Stockpile is an economic board game that combines the traditional stockholding strategy of buy low, sell high with several additional mechanisms to create a fast-paced, engaging and interactive experience.

In Stockpile, players act as stock market investors at the end of the 20th century hoping to strike it rich, and the investor with the most money at the end of the game is the winner. Stockpile centers on the idea that nobody knows everything about the stock market, but everyone does know something. In the game, this philosophy manifests in two ways: insider information and the stockpile.

First, players are given insider information each round. This information dictates how a stock’s value will change at the end of the round. By privately learning if a stock is going to move up or down, each player has a chance to act ahead of the market by buying or selling at the right time.

Second, players purchase their stocks by bidding on piles of cards called stockpiles. These stockpiles will contain a mixture of face-up and face-down cards placed by other players in the game. In this way, nobody will know all of the cards in the stockpiles. Not all cards are good either. Trading fees can poison the piles by making players pay more than they bid. By putting stocks and other cards up for auction, Stockpile catalyzes player interaction, especially when potential profits from insider information are on the line.

Both of these mechanisms are combined with some stock market elements to make players consider multiple factors when selling a stock. Do you hold onto a stock in hopes of catching a lucrative stock split or do you sell now to avoid the potential company bankruptcy? Can you hold onto your stock until the end of the game to become the majority shareholder, or do you need the liquidity of cash now for future bidding? Do you risk it all by investing heavily into one company, or do you mitigate your risk by diversifying your portfolio?

In the end, everyone knows something about the stock market, so it all comes down to strategy execution. Will you be able to navigate the movements of the stock market with certainty? Or will your investments go under from poor predictions?

Welcome to "Kyoto No Neko," a charming adventure where you embody a curious and playful kitten exploring the enchanted city of Kyoto in Japan. Your goal is to grow and develop your skills, learning from your experiences, and earn medals by accomplishing various objectives.

He remains France's favorite character, with numerous films and volumes published, and modern scriptwriters such as Alain Chabat, Alexandre Astier and Fabcaro taking up the torch.

Asterix and Co. is not yet another “Asterix” licensed game, but a playful work by two passionate authors who wanted to offer a captivating and original game based on the little Gaul with a moustache.

A family blackjack in the Kyoto No Neko game universe.

The Resistance: Avalon pits the forces of Good and Evil in a battle to control the future of civilization. Arthur represents the future of Britain, a promise of prosperity and honor, yet hidden among his brave warriors are Mordred's unscrupulous minions. These forces of evil are few in number but have knowledge of each other and remain hidden from all but one of Arthur's servants. Merlin alone knows the agents of evil, but he must speak of this only in riddles. If his True identity is discovered, all will be lost.

The Resistance: Avalon is a standalone game, and while The Resistance is not required to play, the games are compatible and can be combined.

In Ahoy! Kitten, you are one of the Cat Pirates of the Open Sea! As a Cat, shiny little coins do not interest you. What you want is Fish!

You want to collect more fish than your opponents through bluffing and cunning. However, it is not that easy because other Cats are eyeing those fish too! To do this, you place a set of Sea tiles side by side on the table, with each tile featuring a varying number of fish. Each player simultaneously places a finger on one of the tiles when signaled. You collect the fish only if you are alone on the tile!

Be careful! You are not done yet after the initial confrontation. Other Cats may still get a chance to steal fish from your ship.

There are 4 kinds of fish in the Open Sea. Collecting the fish as a set will earn you more.

It is 1598, and you have settled in the middle of France in the city of Orléans on the Loire. Your goal is clear: Build a cathedral in Orléans — all of you together because only together can you meet this challenge!

In the co-operative game The Cathedral of Orléans, players will recruit followers familiar from Orléans to take actions — knights, craftsmen, scholars, traders, and monks — but these followers are divided between two pouches, so the question you will constantly face: From which pouch should I draw to get the desired tile? You will want to remember which tiles go into which bag at the end of the round, dividing duties between one another in order to work out your strategy together as effectively as possible.

Time is always a pressing issue. The cathedral must be completed in the third round at the latest, and if a tile can no longer be placed elsewhere with an action, it must go into the bell tower, with that tower's toll ending the round.

Special highlight: You build a real, three-dimensional cathedral!

Trails of Tucana is a flip-and-write game from the creators of Avenue and Doodle City that is quick and easy to play, but has enough depth to entertain gamers.

This new edition includes the Ferry expansion, which adds two new island maps: Isla Bahía and Isla Habita. On both maps, ferries will help players cross the bays.
On Isla Habita, 3 additional villages provide new challenges and opportunities.

Each player is given a map of the island Tucana, showing its villages and important sights. The positions of the villages are randomized for each player, so every game will provide a unique puzzle.

Each turn, one player flips over two terrain cards. Each player must draw — on their own map — a trail between two neighboring spaces of the shown terrains. Gradually, the trails will grow into a network of roads. Players score points by connecting matching harbors, and by connecting sights to harbors. Being the first to connect a pair of harbors provides bonus points.

To add depth to the game, there are varying distribution of the different terrain cards. Mountain cards are for instance rarer than desert cards, so it would be harder to build a trail through a mountain range or over water than through desert or forest. Players need to take this into account when planning their routes. And they should maximize the probability that they will be able to make use of any combination of terrain cards that may come up.

Fuji Flush is a card game, which consists of cards numbered 2 through 20, with higher numbers being rarer. Each player holds six cards at the beginning.

However, if two or more players play the same number, the card values are added together. When it is a player's turn and their card is still in front of them, they can discard it without redrawing. First player(s) to get rid of their cards wins!

Fuji Flush supports from 3 to 8 players! A great game for large player counts!

6 suspects is a game of memory and logical deduction. A crime has been committed. Two hidden evidence cards are assigned to each one of the six suspects. Players look at evidence cards, one after the other, trying to be the first to find the culprit.

On a player’s turn, they take one of the 12 face-down evidence cards, look at it, and then place it back. Once every player has played at least four times, any player can announce that they think they know the culprit. All other players take one last turn looking at an evidence card. Then, all players simultaneously show, with their hand, which one of the six suspects they think is the culprit.

All evidence cards are then revealed. First, the effect of the swap card is applied, if possible. Then the total evidence is added up for every suspect. The suspect with the highest total evidence is the culprit, and every player who voted for them scores one point.

FR:
6 suspects est un jeu de mémoire et de déduction logique. Un crime a été commis. Deux cartes de preuves cachées sont attribuées à chacun des six suspects. Les joueurs examinent les cartes de preuves, l'une après l'autre, en essayant d'être les premiers à trouver le coupable.

À son tour de jeu, un joueur prend l'une des 12 cartes de preuve face cachée, la regarde, puis la remet en place. Une fois que tous les joueurs ont joué au moins quatre fois, n'importe quel joueur peut annoncer qu'il pense connaître le coupable. Tous les autres joueurs regardent une dernière fois une carte de preuve. Ensuite, tous les joueurs montrent simultanément, avec leur main, lequel des six suspects ils pensent être le coupable.

Toutes les cartes de preuves sont alors révélées. L'effet de la carte d'échange est d'abord appliqué, si possible. Ensuite, le total des preuves est additionné pour chaque suspect. Le suspect ayant le plus grand nombre de preuves est déclaré coupable et chaque joueur ayant voté pour lui marque un point.

Viking Raiders is a 2-5 player card game in which players are Viking chiefs, jostling to build the biggest Navy, create the largest Clan and gain the most Loot.

On your turn, you draw 2 cards to see what your clan has been up to whilst you have been away 'chiefing'. Have they focused on resources and mined stone or gold, collected wood, created new vikings, or built up the food supplies? Sometimes they have spent their time preparing actions for you by capturing a wandering Berserker or preparing for a raid (one of their favourite endeavours). Or maybe they have gained a favour from one of the Norse gods or goddesses?

Each turn you may use one action (for example go on a raid or use a favour from a God or Goddess) and buy one item from a central Market. You buy items using resources in your hand, and you can choose between ships for your Navy, buildings for your Clan and valuables for your Loot. Each item gives 1-3 Victory Points, and the first player to have an agreed number of Victory Points in each category wins the game.

There are also four rare Abilities that sometimes turn up in the Market. Oh, and watch out for Ragnarok...!

Compact and travel friendly, this gateway game is ideal for casual gamers and families with children aged 9 or above.

Welcome back to the Istanbul Bazaar!

Once again, players take on the role of shrewd merchants whose goal is to gather goods and lira, then trade them for the precious rubies needed to win. In Istanbul: Choose & Write, instead of a common set of locations in the middle of the table, each player has a bazaar in front of them as a game plan, a personal tracking sheet where players will mark their choices as they play.

On their turn, players must choose to play either a Location card or a Guild card. Location cards will allow all merchants to perform the action of the specified location, or the action of an adjacent space on their sheet. If a player would rather prevent others from taking this follow action, they can instead play a Guild card, which is expensive but triggers powerful effects.

Fans of the Istanbul game series will recognize familiar locations in Istanbul: Choose & Write, such as the Large Market and the Gemstone Dealer. However, thanks to the innovative choose-and-write mechanism, this visit to the bazaar will challenge players in a completely new way.

It was supposed to be an easy job, investigating this abandoned mansion. Suddenly a shot rings out in the darkness, the bullet shattering the plaster behind you. Turns out someone is here as well, and only one of you is leaving alive.

Revolver Noir is game for two players that puts you in the shoes of a private eye stuck in a dark mansion with an unknown hostile. Using a combination of detective work and calculated shots in the dark, your goal is to track down your enemy and put an end to them – before they do the same to you.


Finalist (top 3) of Button Shy's 18 Card Challenge: Design a game that doesn't use a table or surface.


Setup

Give one player all the John Doe cards, and the other all the Jane Doe cards.
Each player chooses one room in which to start, then places the rest of their cards behind it in their hand. The visible card is your current location.


The turn alternates between players. On your turn, you have Action Points, which you can spend to perform actions like moving, shooting, listening, setting traps, and use the room effect.

Use Room Effect
Most rooms in Revolver Noir have a unique effect, which can be used only while you are in that room. To trigger this effect, reveal your location, then follow the instructions on your room card.

Winning the Game
The objective is simple. To win, you’ll have to hit your opponent twice.

L’Incal recèle la puissance de l’univers. C’est pourquoi tout le monde cherche à se l’approprier. John Difool et ses compagnons s’engagent dans une course-poursuite à travers les planètes pour échapper à d’impitoyables ennemis aux intentions funestes. Arriveront-ils à percer les secrets de l’Incal avant de succomber ? Du succès de leur quête dépend le sort des galaxies.

The last shall be first...
Make sure to be the last!!!

The game is separated into two phases.

Phase one is a trick-taking game with simultaneous card selection. First we check for ties. The tie numbers are gone and then the highest card wins. Cards are 1 to 6. Four times per card.

If after the first check we have a 1 card and a 6, then the 1 card wins the trick.

So now all keep the winning trick cards and we are ready for phase 2.

Phase 2 is Russian roulette, a game of chance. We have 6 cards (bullet cards) in the middle of the table, as a revolver. 5 empty chambers and one with a bullet.

On your turn (beginning with the player with the most cards from phase one):
You can draw a card (pull the trigger) or you can discard one card from that you collect before, to shuffle all open bullet cards back together and then draw one, you just spin the cylinder of the revolver, (no point to do it if you have to draw the first bullet)
or you can discard as many cards as alive players in the game to pass your turn to the next player.

When you draw we check if you die or live from the bullet card.
If you stay alive the game continues to the next player. If you die we shuffle the bullet cards and continue with the player with most cards.

Last man standing is the winner.

Far away from the big cities lies a mysterious forest. Thousands of years ago, there lived tribes that worshiped the spirits of the woods. Even now, ruins of their sanctuaries, conquered by ivy and amarbel, can be found among the trees. Rumour has it that those spirits have always been benevolent and sometimes leave their guests precious gifts: a piece of amber here, a bluebird’s feather or an ancient figurine of some outwardly stone there… Now it’s your time to head out to the magical forest, earn respect of its guardians and collect all their gifts!

Every player takes the Character card and all 5 Footsteps of their chosen color and places 1 Footstep on the first position of the Dream Path. Assemble the forest board according to the player count.

Players take turns clockwise starting with the first player.
When a players has all 5 different gift tokens (no matter how many of each kind), the game immediately ends and that player wins.

During your turn you must move first, and then perform an action.

Movement:
Place one of your Footsteps onto a hex without your Footstep.
You can’t place your Footstep onto a hex where you already have a Footstep.
You can’t place your Footstep onto a hex if there are no adjacent hexes with your Footsteps.

Action:
After the movement phase you must perform an action on the hex where you’ve just placed the Footstep. You have two options:
Perform that hex’s action — but first you must pay Leaves for all Footsteps there, except yours.
Gather Leaves — take 2 Leaves from the supply.

Players continue taking turns until one of them wins.

Explorers of the Woodlands is a forest-themed cooperative dice game / dungeon crawler for 1 to 4 players. It combines all the best of tile placement, exploration, rolling dice and bashing monsters in a gorgeous setting, and comes with a fastpaced
classic game mode and a campaign mode.

Gameplay: In classic game mode, players will explore a forest of over 20 tiles. At the end of each forest, a boss will spawn and the players will have to defeat it to win the game!

During the Exploration phase, each player adds one tile to the Forest, making it bigger and bigger.
During the Adventure phase, each player will play their character in turn order. The active player rolls 4 hero dice and places them on their hero board to select and know what actions can be performed for the turn.

Depending on the dice results, players get moves, special actions and unique abilities!
Loot cards acquired while killing monsters or found in the forest and during events will also help the heroes reach their goal!

In addition to the classic game mode, a 5-6 mission campaign will be added to the game for even greater replay value.

Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition is the quintessential quantum trick-taking card game for 2 - 5 cool cats, where your card’s color isn’t defined until you play it! Hypothesize how many tricks you will win, and record your bid. Place tokens on the community research board as you play your hand, and connect large groups of tokens to score even more points. Plan your tricks carefully as you cannot claim the color of a card with the same number that has already been declared. Doing so would be pawsitively catastrophic as you have just created a paradox!

New Deluxe Edition features:

Supports 2-5 players
High quality geekbits-style plastic tokens
Recessed player boards
Recessed Center Research board
Score pad
And a custom plastic insert to keep Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition tidy!
