…Ichien san of the kakigori stall claims to make the best shaved ice, while all the other guys merely hawk inferior crap. Man, that means trouble! Anyone who publicly puts himself above the others is breaking law and order. No Tekiya will ignore that.
But should you make a snitch out of yourself at the Oyabun and in the worst case lose your finger, Yubitsume style? No way! Breaking taboos is something you only do among yourselves – in an ominous corner of the park. And then, then, then it‘s dan ... dan ... dan (ダンダンダン)!! Which in our simple translation means „Bang, bang, bang!“. Here’s the good thing: Whoever survives the shootout of the gun toting brawlers will have a few more food stalls in the near future.

Quickly and in turn, you turn over cards from your own stack and place them face up in the centre of the table. There, a full arsenal of handguns accumulates. Every time a loaded gun is pointed at two of you with its grip and barrel, a shootout takes place. If you are shot – or make a mistake beforehand – you are punished and must take all the cards from the centre of the table. You grease the police with the top card, the rest go face down under your stack. Then you continue the game by turning over a new card. And on it goes... The first player who has no cards left, wins the game.

In addition, various abstruse special cards fuel future game rounds and keep the game challenging. What more could you wish for?

A wobbly stacking game with extra twist

The waving cat Maneki-neko, the angry Kaiju, the fat ass of the sumo wrestler - stack them all into a crazy tower. And see that your friends don't know how to get their Shinkansen in place. What if nobody has time for a match? Then you play for yourself. Or you can decorate your apartment with the iconic figures.

You've never seen a stacking game with charm like this! Filled with chunky wooden charms featuring the joys of Tokyo, this stacking game challenges players to build two wobbly towers at the same time. Choosing which piece to place next is critical as it may leave your opponent with some of the hardest (and heaviest) pieces for the top of the stack.

In addition to two unique modes of play, you may enjoy keeping these charms as decorations in between games.

A fuckin’ funny card game for 2-4 hardcore facility managers aged 37, give or take.

Do yer remember Ichien-San? Dead right, the one from the Yatai stall of the Tekiya by the temple in the park!

First she proper booted the opposition up the arse then went on to become Top Dog of the local Tekiya.

Anyhow she's moving on from the Greasy Spoon lark now and with her business cred she's mooching into the Love Hotel game and wants to crack it bigtime.

The old fashioned Love Hotel joints look knackered mate. Dodgy, worn out furniture, no-one's bothering with 'em anymore. Scruffy dives, they give everyone a bad name and leave the managers skint. Ichien-San knows the score mate, she's gonna blow it all out and build the biggest mega Love Hotel chain in Osaka.

For that, she needs you lot, the best managers out there, no problem! You can expect top dosh, mega bonuses and fab perks, at least that's the idea. 'cause you lot are the legit movers and shakers in this game! You're the crew that cleans, hustles and busts a gut in the shadows, keepin' the joints up and runnin. You're out of sight yet every room's got your unique stamp. The smartest mover who proper sorts things out can pack the rooms out with punters. That'll bring in not just the dosh but also the respect you crave from Ichien-San.

Become the ramen king in Tokyo! Fight for ingredients and customers in a tough business. Your weapon is your memory - so scrape together all your concentration and become the super soup man. It is aimed at adults or families who have fun with new game ideas, as well as design lovers who love and appreciate the unique signature of Heldbergs Games.

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!

Having to spend most of their time in the sewers, the lives of Tokyo's disreputable Poo Divers consistently suck. The lowest caste of all underdogs sits in the Shinjuku honky-tonk as they do every night after work, digesting their lost time. Delirious thoughts waft through cesspools, spilling into an endless nirvana of drunken stupor and hubris. The only fixed point of their blank stares is the smudged cup with the stomach ulcering mixed drinks of Don’t Ask and Definitely Don’t Ask. A hot, stuffy, yet wild vibe drools through the humid air. It drools saliva that the divers inhale and excrete again as armpit sweat.

The divers brag about their precious finds from Tokyo's sewers. In drunkenness, yellow slime hardens into gold ingots and rat poison mutates into cocaine. Or was there really a giant diamond that a courier frantically shat out shortly before the raid? What is the truth about the silver coins that Akito once claimed to have found? And did he really exist, that mummified politician Tanaka slurs about every night?
Two to four players get up close and personal with the secret society of Poo Divers. Take part in their stuffy discoveries and, like them, rejoice in every bit of dirt. In this world, all finds have equal value. But take the advice of a wise Poo Diver and keep your glued eyes open, lest some greedy asshole snatch the loot from under your nose.

Become a Yakuza - and watch your fingers! If you don't deliver, they'll come off one by one. If you didnt know its a ritual to show sincere apology towards your boss by choping off your pinkie

Osaka's yakuza bosses have a problem. Your people are rotting away, indiscipline is rampant. It can't go on like this! After the latest scandal, it is finally time to take action and apply the best practices. From now on the following applies: Yubitsume ... Every misconduct costs a finger.

Yubitsume means shortening of the fingers. The Heldbergs game takes up an ancient ritual of the Japanese yakuza. In reality it really hurts: Anyone who screwed up has to clip a finger in the presence of the clan boss or cut it off completely. Ouch!

Our game is more bone friendly. The point is to recognize as quickly as possible which of three cubes is unique with its motif or with its number of motifs. If you're too lame or wrong, you're saying goodbye to a finger. If you do everything right, you collect rings and in the end you get the greatest honor.

The rules are extremely simple, and the fun is accordingly high. And if you don't have a finger, you can still use your elbows. Like in normal life. But that's not in the game instructions.
