NIRVANA
NIRVANA

Roll dice.
Play cards.
Liberate yourself.

In Nirvana, players first roll dice and sum up the values to create cards for a card game. Whoever gets rid of all their cards first wins!

In more detail, in the roll-and-write half of the game, a player rolls three dice, then all players write the values in a colored area on their board. Each player also has a limited ability to adjust the value of the dice in this round. Once complete, the players sum the columns on their sheet as shown to determine the ranks of the "cards" in their hand.

In the shedding half, the players play a game based on the traditional structure known as Daifugō, with the start player playing one or more cards of the same rank, and the other players then either passing or playing the same number of cards but of a higher rank. The first player to "play" all of their "cards" wins!

SHOWDOWN TACTICS
SHOWDOWN TACTICS

Showdown Tactics is a dueling game. Each player must use tiles 1-9 and defeat their opponent with a higher numbered tile. Players choose 1 Dragon Tile each round from a number range of 1-9 and duel their opponent for supremacy.

In more detail, the attacking player chooses 1 Dragon Tile and lays it face-down on the first space of the Arena, which is an electronic device that can recognize the value of a tile. Their opponent must then choose 1 Dragon Tile of their own and place it face-down on their side of the Arena steps.

Both Dragon Tiles are then judged and Round Victory is declared. For a player to be victorious, their Dragon Tile must have a higher number than their opponent’s.

The game ends once 9 rounds have been completed or when 1 player obtains 5 round victories. The player with 5 round victories wins.
