SAFARI SPLASH!
|
|
Ride a raft down the wildest river of the savannah. Snapshot your favorite animals – but try to avoid those you dislike! Watch out – SPLASH, a whirlpool! Everything is going so fast!
A frantic and fast paced real-time game that scales in difficulty!
How does it play?
At the beginning of the game each player gets a reminder card and a scoring card (there are 4 different scoring levels of increasing complexity). The 120 safari cards are randomized and placed face down in a disorganized pile, in the centre..
The scoring card serves as the starting point of each player's river, and also depicts the preferred (and maybe disliked) animals for the player. The game is played in real time (it comes with an app support) and players frantically take face down cards from the safari pile, flipping them over, and adding them to their river- hoping to find the animals they like. So players need to select the safari cards carefully, and then place them in their area so that they form a continuous river. After 90 seconds, you score your river and whoever has the most points - wins!

WOLFPACK ORIGINAL
|
|
It's fast-paced and fun, also thanks to some nasty twists that make a game of Wolfpack exciting - and cheerful - from the start. The game is simple and quickly explained, and is suitable for two to five people aged eight and up. The workmanship is of high quality, as is the graphic design with its clear imagery.
Not only sheep have to be collected, but also wolves, namely all those hiding among the sheep. Four action cards confuse the strategies of the players, sometimes only a little, sometimes completely. Laughs, even nasty ones, are part of this fast and smoothly running game. It can be played from the age of eight, with a minimum of two people: "Each additional person - up to a maximum of five - brings even more dynamism into the round".

ROOKIE ORIGINAL
|
|
Playable in three different variants and thus levels of difficulty, the winner here is the one who manages to uncover and then secure the most cards in pairs. But you can also score points in a team - it's just a matter of drawing the right colours and remembering the colours and positions of all the cards. So clever heads are called for, who also lack neither skill nor the necessary card player luck.
Rookie - everything else is for beginners!

RAMEN CHEF
|
|
Ramen — for some, it is a brutally delicious noodle soup originally from Japan. For its makers, ramen is the center of an intensely brutal fight in a mega-market. In the metropolis of Tokyo, cooks compete fiercely for the best ingredients so they can satisfy their customers' needs and desires.
In Ramen Chef, you are at the forefront of this battle. Play as one of up to four chefs who run their soup business with sophistication and brains in order to become Tokyo's greatest ramen chef. Your greatest weapon? Your smart head!
Ramen Chef features a literal flip of a classic memory game. You are trying to match ingredients from a 3x3 grid, and collect ingredients that match a secret objective. However, all of the ingredient tiles are double-sided, meaning you need to remember both sides of the tiles in front of you. On your turn, you must verbally state the ingredient you see BEFORE you flip, then flip the tile to reveal the opposite side. If after the second flip, your two tiles (on their opposite sides) now match, you are able to collect one of those tiles for your restaurant and work towards fulfilling your secret objective tile. The player with the most tiles — both ingredients and completed objective tiles— wins.
But be careful! If the opposites sides of your target tiles do not match, you collect nothing, and may leave a combination of tiles that your opponent can now use instead. Surprisingly tactical and shockingly difficult for only nine tiles, Ramen Chef is sure to leave you questioning your memory abilities and hungry for ramen!

STATIONFALL
|
|
Stationfall is a game of blackmail and betrayal, of murder and mayhem, and of unknown danger and desperate survival.
Stationfall takes place on a corporate space station full of illegal science whose orbit has inexplicably terminally decayed. The station’s motley assortment of humans and robots are suddenly thrust into a life and death struggle for escape and survival. Some of the characters on board are secretly players, who know of the impending disaster and are trying to accomplish their varied victory conditions before the station is incinerated.
In Stationfall, each particular character’s victory condition is publicly known, however which character a particular player is (if any) is secret. Players can suborn any character in the game, adding their skills and gear to their conspiracy. During the game, players must decide if and when to reveal their identity to gain their special ability and full control over their personal character. Until that time, a player’s identity and goals can only be deduced by the actions of their conspirators on board.
