OTTO is a surprising game: it is as simple as it is complex. We'd love to tell you about some of the incredible features that make it so special. The game is based on the never-ending connection between all cards. You can literally pick them up and place them randomly on the board: coherent designs with infinite combinations will come to life. But that's not the game. Since the game has no single setting, it can be defined as 'universal', as it is based on the visual perception of symbolic geometries. OTTO is the most abstract game ever, with a unique and original design, perhaps even alien. The game depends on the balance between strategy, the vision of future opportunities, chance and the player's style. While playing OTTO you will always discover new strategies and unpredictable scenarios until the final move.

Each turn, each player has to cross off a box that corresponds to the color box and the number of the die. Add special promotions and you have a fun game for young and old!

Halloween Party is a light, fun and fast card game for 3 to 6 players. The rules are very simple, and because it is purely a bluffing game, it can be played by both children and adults. On Halloween night, each player holds a big party in their dark castle and tries to attract the most interesting people - vampires, ghosts and other monsters. Periodically there is a knock on your door - knock, knock! - and you have to decide whether you open or not. Naturally, each player tries to open to the nicest people and avoid unwanted visitors, such as pure souls who will scare your guests, as well as vampires sent by your opponents to lure your best guests to their castle.

In "On the Underground: Paris/New York" players build the Paris Métro lines or the New York City Subway lines. Each player controls 2-4 different lines depending on the number of players. During each turn, four destination cards are available that correspond to stations on the map. You can perform up to four actions; building rails by placing one of your track tokens on the board or taking a branch token. A player can use two branch tokens to branch off an existing line (whereas lines can normally only be expanded at the ends). After each player's turn, a passenger token is moved along the players' lines, using as little walking as possible, to reach one or two destinations determined at the start of the turn. Destination cards corresponding to the stations visited are then replaced with new cards, after which it is the next player's turn.

If you can beat the Underground at its own game before the Destination Cards run out, you win The Underground Challenge!

CoraQuest was created by father-and-daughter duo Cora (age 8) and Dan (age 45) Hughes as a fun creative project to work on together. They had so much fun using their imaginations to create the game that they wanted to make sure other people could have the same experience. CoraQuest is an exciting and accessible cooperative dungeon crawling game for one to four players aged six and over. In CoraQuest, players work together to guide four adventurers as they explore a dungeon, avoid traps, find treasure, fight monsters, and sometimes rescue a gnome named Kevin. CoraQuest is a game that children and adults can play together and have just as much fun. It's also a game that encourages creativity - offering encouragement and guidance on how to create heroes, monsters and adventures to make CoraQuest your own. All of the illustrations in CoraQuest are based on children's drawings, many of them sent to us by the wonderful CoraQuest community from around the world. CoraQuest is playable straight out of the box. However, players can also heavily customize the game if they wish.

In Town 77 — located just down the road from Town 66 — residents can't stand seeing houses of the same shape or color next to each other. Try to build as many houses as possible, but keep in mind which houses in your hand can be built at the end. In Town 77, each player has a hand of tiles, with each tile showing one of the seven house styles in one of the seven colors/patterns. (The color/pattern of a tile is also visible on the back.) The game contains a total of 49 tiles, one for each possible combination. Each player starts with a random hand of tiles. The first player places a tile in the top left corner of an imaginary 7x7 square. Then each player adds a tile in his turn to a row or column in this square, as long as this tile is adjacent to at least one other tile and the color/house style is not yet present in this row and column. After playing a tile, a player can choose whether or not to draw a new tile. Once you reduce your hand size, you cannot increase it anymore. If you cannot play a tile on a turn, you are out of the game. Once everyone is out of the game, whoever has the fewest tiles in hand — or who played last in the event of a tie — wins. If you play your last tile you win, but if you don't draw any new tiles you risk not being able to play anymore!

This edition of the acclaimed deduction game comes with a deck of 39 large cards, beautifully illustrated by Naïade, featuring the portrait and name of a series of characters from Middle-earth. Fans will try to guess a secret character from Middle-earth among the twelve displayed on the table. They are assisted by the Clue Giver, who plays cards from their hand as clues to indicate which cards to remove. For example, if the Secret Card is Frodo Baggins, you could play Éowyn to tell the Riddlers that the characters to remove are Human, Female, or Rohirrim. Or you could play Saruman to indicate that the characters to be removed are wizards or have white hair... it's up to the Riddlers to understand what the Clue Giver is trying to suggest! You can also combine different versions by using one deck for the characters and the other for the clues... can you guess which character has something in common with Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore and Ron Weasley from Similo: Harry Potter? The Games Friends: “Similo is such a great game for a quick snack. You play a game in 10 minutes, but still have the feeling that you have completed a full game. Highly recommended for fans of Dixit, Mysterium and Obscurio!"

The king is on holiday. He has entrusted the city and its treasure to the prince. The bandits know it and plan to line their pockets... or at least try! Are you going to play as a prince or a bandit? Brigands is an asymmetrical game of deduction and deception that pits a prince against rival gangs of bandits. The prince must protect the city's coffers from the bandits. If no bandit manages to steal 50 ducats from the kingdom by the end of the 6 game turns, the prince is the winner! Otherwise, the richest bandit wins. On a turn, each player sends his 3 crew members to his chosen neighborhoods. The choice is secret and simultaneous. When everyone has made their decision, it's time to reveal the choices and place all the crew members in the city. When the prince's crew finds itself in the same neighborhood as the bandits, thieves are arrested before they can hope to get richer. Otherwise they can plunder the neighborhood. Each district allows you to rob the treasure in a unique way. Note that if someone has played an action token on the district at the beginning of their turn, they can steal or push crew, or perhaps run to another district at the last minute. Once in prison, thieves can choose to wait out trial or try to escape. The prince player will improve his skills throughout the game to get his treasure back or catch bandits better.
