In this smooth bluffing game, chickens, geese and other poultry that approach the feeder at the right time can get a piece of the pie. The same applies to the foxes, but they prefer to outwit the poultry... Graantje de Voorste is especially suitable for players who like bluffs and unexpected twists. Because they play a face-down card at the same time each round, they have to try to estimate what the other players are doing. This can lead to finding food easily, but also to dividing it or even fighting over it. This bluffing game is easy to learn and therefore fun for the whole family! Each round, six cages are filled with grain. Each player then chooses a card from their hand and places it face down in front of them. The color of the card determines which coop the poultry or fox goes to. The number on the card indicates the point value of the animal. This is important if several birds go to the same cage or if a fox gets hold of such an animal. A bird that goes to a cage alone takes away all the grains. If there are several birds, they can share everything with each other, but if there is one that doesn't like sharing it, they all roll a die and add the result to their point value. Whoever has the highest result gets to have all the grains. A fox that goes to a cage alone gets nothing (it doesn't like grain), but if there is poultry there, it eats it all. If several foxes go to the same cage, they have to roll the dice. Foxes are selfish animals and don't share anything on principle! Once the last grains of wheat have been strewn in the cages, the last round begins. Whoever ultimately scores the most points with their collected grains and poultry cards is the winner.

Each round, players perform 1 action clockwise. The players continue to perform actions until they decide to pass; this usually happens when a player has used all his coins or has no more dragons in his hand that he wants or can play. The players who have not passed continue playing until all players have passed. Then the round is over. On your turn, you choose 1 action (dig, lure or explore) and place your adventurer there. You pay the cost in coins and/or eggs and perform the action. The winner of Wyrmspan is the player with the most victory points. You can earn these in various ways, including the value of played dragons, eggs, hidden cards, public objectives and the dragon guild.

In Oz, Dorothy just wants to go home — and you want her gone too so you can finish the Yellow Brick Road! In Yellow Brick Road, each player starts with an imaginary 3x3 grid, and they place a face-down winged monkey token above each column and to the right of each row. They each draw one card from the deck. During a turn you draw a card, then your opponent turns an upward-facing monkey token near your playing area face down and turns another monkey token face up. Place one of the two cards in your hand on an empty spot in your grid that is not in the same row/column as the monkey looking up. Two cards have special powers; one lets you swap two cards in your grid, and the other grants immunity to monkeys on your next turn. Once each player has placed nine cards, the game ends. Each card is worth as many points as the total number of cards in the same road segment, so an isolated road segment is worth 1 point, a road segment of two cards is worth 4 points (2 per card), etc. Whoever has the most points wins.

The lama opens his bag of tricks. The following still applies: Discard All Negative Points, but now you can also collect negative points tokens during a round, which you can then conveniently pass on to other players. This is especially true at a magic performance, where you can hand in a token if you play a llama. However, if you no longer have a lama at the decisive moment, only the magic token can save you, otherwise you will receive minus point tokens! Play your special cards wisely, exchange as many low-value chips as possible for higher-value chips and then get rid of them during a magic performance. Everyone else then watches with open mouths as you get closer to success. Do you like simple games, but do you like to have a choice and do you like to annoy others? Then LAMA: Cadabra is the right game for you. The basic game rules are quickly explained, but a few interesting twists make this card game slightly more challenging than its predecessor LAMA. This game is also suitable for 2 to 6 players and is therefore ideal for the whole family. Each player tries to get rid of his cards as quickly as possible so as not to lose any negative points at the end of a round. On your turn, you must play a card, draw a card or get out. Some cards you play give an extra action. It could be a card with two values ​​or a card that lets you take the magic token, but there are also cards that allow you to give away a minus point token or let the next player draw a card. Each time a player plays a llama, he places 1 of his negative point tokens on the magic stage. When there are 5 or more tokens on that stage, the magic performance starts. Each player's turn must then play a llama. If he cannot do that, he takes all the negative point tokens from the magic stage. If you have the magic token, you may skip a turn once during the game or magic performance. But be careful, if you still have the magic token at the end of a round, you will receive 10 negative points! A round is over when every player has left or one player runs out of cards. All players then receive minus points for their remaining cards. If someone then has a total of 40 or more negative points, the game is over and the player with the fewest negative points wins.

In Odin you want to empty your hand as quickly as possible by sending all your Vikings into the world. The game lasts several 'hands', with each hand consisting of one or more rounds. The deck contains cards in six suits, each numbered 1-9, and each player starts with a hand of nine cards. The leading player places a single card on the table. The next player passes (but can play on a future turn) or plays the same number of cards (or one more than that number) of a higher value. When you play two or more cards, the cards must have the same number or color, and the value of these cards is created by placing their numbers from highest to lowest. For example, if you play a blue 3 and blue 6, their value is 63, not 36. When you play and are not in the lead, you must take one of the cards from the previous turn into your hand and discard the rest. Play continues around the table until either one player runs out of cards, which immediately ends the round, or all players pass in succession. In the latter case, discard the last played cards; the person who played these cards lays down a single card to start a new round. Alternatively, if the leading player holds cards of one color or number, they play all of these cards at once to end the hand. When a hand ends, each player scores 1 point for each card they still hold. If no player has at least 15 points, shuffle the deck and start a new hand. If someone has 15 or more points, the person with the fewest points wins.

As a Migo, also known as a Yeti by some, you love to decorate your cave with items you take from the mountain climbers you eat — and luckily that supply never stops, no matter how many you eat! Each round in a game of Migo, the player with the most points wins a flag, and the first to collect two flags wins. In the first round, you shuffle the 25 double-sided cards and lay them out in four or five columns, depending on the number of players. On a turn, you draft a card from the end of a column and add it to your collection. Each card shows one or more symbols — ropes, crampons, etc. — while also showing what's on the back. If you draft a Sherpa, discard it immediately, and then optionally flip one of your cards. If you draft a mountaineer carrying vodka, you can empty the vodka on a future turn to immediately take another turn. Once all cards have been drawn, add up your score. Woolen hats are worth 2 points each, empty vodka bottles are -3 points, and for every other symbol you score 1 point per symbol, with a bonus of 4 points for whoever has the most ropes, the most crampons, etc. For the second round, flip half the cards to their other side, shuffle the deck, lay out the cards in an inverted pyramid, and draft and score as previously described. For the third round, lay out the cards in three inverted pyramids. If a fourth round is necessary, choose one of the previous map setups or create your own.

Time to put on your deerstalker and see if you've got what it takes to be a detective — but do it quickly or others will solve the case first. In Crazy Sherlock you must identify five clues related to the crime: the criminal's eye color, their height, their accessory, the location, and the time. The game contains 18 clue cards divided into these five categories, and to start, place one card from each category to the side, shuffle the remaining cards and deal them out as evenly as possible. When the round starts, start a 15-second timer. Each player has so much time to look at their cards, after which they pass them to the left, the timer restarts, and they can look at their new cards. They keep passing cards until someone takes the announcement token, which stops the timer. This person makes their guess in each clue category, then looks at the cards set aside. If correct, they receive a case token indicating 1; if they already have a case token, they win the game. If they get it wrong, they lose a case token (if they have one), then the round continues, with the change that this person passes cards, but doesn't get to guess. Continue playing until someone guesses correctly, or only one player remains, in which case they automatically win. With the "Doctor Watson" variant, each player takes a voting token at the start of the game, and when someone announces their guess, all other players simultaneously reveal whether they think the guesser is correct. If everyone votes yes, the gambler automatically wins a clue token. If the votes are split and the guess is correct, the guesser wins a clue token and gives a clue token to someone who supported them; if the votes are split and the guess is incorrect, everyone who voted for the guesser is also out of the round. The first player to collect three clue tokens wins.
