A Carnivore Did It! promises a guilty meat-eater, but you will have to determine the culprit for yourself. Maybe an herbivore was actually behind the crime, or perhaps you're searching for two culprits — or even three?

For each case in this co-operative game, you're given a number of suspects, with each suspect being assigned a statement, e.g., "Shark is telling the truth" or "A carnivore did it". You know how many culprits you're looking for, and you have some idea of how truthful everyone is being. Perhaps only one suspect is lying, or perhaps 3-4 of them are telling the truth. Putting all of this information together, can you determine who did the crime?

A Carnivore Did It! includes two thousand cases, each with a single solution, with the difficulty increasing to have up to seven suspects, conditional statements, and varying levels of truthiness.

Also included is a campaign mode that links several cases together, with you scoring in them based on the amount of time it takes to find each solution...if you find them at all.

Build the most beautiful Amsterdam canal houses, full of shops, cats, seagulls and tulips in this fun card game!

Grachtenpand is a light hand drafting game for 2-4 players where you build an idyllic set of canal houses. You build the houses using 'bases', 'floors' and 'roofs'.

Each turn, each player simultaneously chooses one card from their hand and builds it, using the rules detailed below.
After building their cards, each player passes the remaining three cards to the player on their left. After receiving a new hand of three cards from the player to their right, each player chooses a type of card (base, front, or roof) and draws one card of that type from the corresponding deck into their hand to refresh it to four cards.

A completed house consists of a base at the bottom, any number of front cards, and one roof at the top. When building a house, you must build from the bottom-up (starting with a base and ending with a roof).

Will you score high value lines now, or build up and score multiple lines at the same time later? The first player to 25 points triggers the ending, where everyone adds points for collecting a certain secret critter.

Each game has variable powers that let you manipulate your tableau and the board, and variable board setups that shift your strategies. The advanced mode adds a second rows of scoring conditions that include lines of background pictures or certain patterns of critters. Multiple boxes may be added together to play with more than 4 player with simultaneous drafting rules.

In Deckers, you will hack into a network of five servers, either solo or co-operatively as a team of up to four, winning or losing together.

The network is operated by one of the available super-massive computers (SMCs), each with a different level of complexity and its own unique style of defenses that you will need to overcome.

Once jacked into the servers, you will assume decker profiles, each with a special ability, moving across the server's spaces and uploading decker pieces onto the network to expand your control while removing as many of the SMC's pieces as possible. Each round, you get a new objective you try to fulfill to gain the upper hand. If you manage to complete the final objective, you ultimately claim victory.

Farm Hand is a fun and engaging 21-card micro game for 1-5 players in 15-20 mins. A game that neatly fits in your pocket or purse and can be played almost anywhere.

The game has 6 asymmetric suits ranging from 1 card through to 6 cards, with values 1-7 spread across the suits. Gameplay includes trick-taking, publicly visible suits, and simultaneous bidding.

Played across 6 rounds, each round players are dealt a hand that increases by 1 card (1x card in round 1, 2x cards in round 2, etc.)

With all suits openly visible to all players, everyone must try to predict how many tricks they will win in the round - they bid simultaneously by revealing a number of fingers.

The bids are recorded and the trick-taking phase commences.

Everyone plays their cards using standard must-follow trick-taking rules, however, the highest card wins the trick, regardless of suit. BUT... if cards of the same number are played, they cancel each other out and the next highest card wins the trick. This often leads to surprise outcomes and plenty of laughs and groans.

• If your Bid and Tricks match EXACTLY, score points equal to the Current Round
• If your Bid and Tricks DO NOT MATCH, score -1 point per Difference

The dealer moves clockwise. Gather all the cards, shuffle and deal again.

Play 6 rounds. The winner is the player with the highest score.

Fear of the Dark is a solo push-your-luck board game with tile placement and a horror theme.

Inspired by one of the primal fears, it places you in an unknown location without any tangible threat except being alone in the dark with only a limited number of matches in your pocket. The only other resource is your common sense, but like the matches, it is in short supply and tends to deplete too fast.

To win, you cannot be too cautious, as all your matches will run out, and soon after, the loss of common sense will leave you stranded in the dark, and unable to move (losing the game). You must take risks and move forward until you find that last door that does not have any room behind it, leading you to freedom.

The gameplay is divided into two modes:
- Playing with a lit match, you can use your cards to perform actions (moving, exploring or searching) or use their more advanced abilities that will use up that card permanently (loss of common sense).
- Playing without a lit match is much worse, as each card played is used up permanently as you slowly lose the ability for stable thought in the dark.

This game is played in several hands. In each hand the players try to be the first to get rid of all of their cards. Their scores are based on how early in the hand they get rid of all their cards. There are two ways to play: you can play where all hands are played the same, or you can play the game with changing partners.

This is a climbing game, similar to The Great Dalmuti, Tichu, and others. The difference here is that the ranks are different kinds of colorfully illustrated animals. Each is scared away only by certain other animals. Players set out one to whatever cards of a particular variety, and someone can play onto that pile only if they have more of that animal or an equal number of some animal that can scare it away. Players get points by playing all their cards, collecting lions, and collecting a hedgehog.

Pondscape is a strategic card game for 2-4 players, lasting around 30 minutes. In this game, players create their own vibrant pond by carefully placing cards featuring various frog species and pond environments while collecting different insect types.

The core mechanisms involve grid building and card management, with pond construction as a spatial puzzle. In each round, players choose cards from a shared display and add one card to their pond, aiming to fulfill specific conditions set by different frog species to earn points, with larger groups of the same frog type yielding even greater rewards.

A unique shared mechanism revolves around the "jumper frog", a central figure that hunts insects and other food. All players influence the jumper frog's actions and compete to gather insects that can provide bonus points during the final scoring. Careful planning and resourceful play will lead to the most balanced and flourishing pond!

Welcome to the Roaring Twenties! Gatsby is a two-player game in which you take on the role of either Dorothy Williams or James Miller, competing to spread their influence and draw the attention of the great Jay Gatsby.

On the board are three locations, each offering different opportunities to get character tiles: the cabaret, the finance center, and the racetrack. To claim these characters, each player will take turns moving the action marker on one of the four action spaces — but not the one just taken by the opponent — then activating it.

These actions let you place two influence tokens on one or two locations, allowing you to claim characters in different ways, depending on the location. In the cabaret, your tokens must form a continuous line from one side of the board to the opposite side or cover the four-star icons at the same time. In the finance center, influence lets you climb up the track. In the racetrack, your tokens are placed in races, trying to be the player with the most tokens on that race line when it's filled.

On all three locations, some special spaces on the board grant bonuses when you place a token on them: swapping two tokens on the board, forcing your opponent to take a specific action, or gaining a special action tile!

A player wins immediately if they control three characters of the same color or one character of each of the five colors. If all character tiles from a single location have been claimed before one of these conditions is met, the player with the most stars on their characters wins.

In Koi, you build an authentic 3D koi pond, so the challenge is to bring your reservoir to life and make the most of the actions at your disposal to create something truly magnificent.
From the creators of Bonsai comes a brand-new, serene, strategic journey through nature.

Legions is a two-player game set in the Abyss universe in which players compete to reign over the districts of the city and by extension the Throne of the Kingdom.

Long ago, the once-gentle leviathans lost their minds and tore the world apart. After generations of hiding and struggle, humanity discovered that the frenzied leviathans can be restored. Climbers willing to take the risk must explore the wilds and work together to remove a series of binding crystals to heal the leviathans roaming the world.

In Leviathan Wilds, 1-4 players will confront these colossal beings, with each creature being depicted across the spread of a spiral-bound storybook that makes up the game's board. The book also forms the basis of a connected campaign mode built around the game's story, with each of twenty included scenarios estimated to last around 45 minutes. Tougher difficulty levels are also available for added replayability.

Each character's deck of multi-use cards is unique, allowing them to climb, jump, and glide around the board in different ways. The number of cards left in the slim deck represents their grip on the leviathan's body; if the deck runs out, the player loses their grip and begins to fall down the board until they're able to reach a rest space, which resets their deck. Moving onto rest spaces also provides a way to regain one's grip without falling. Other spaces reduce a character's health or grip or they increase blight, a status that reduces their overall hit points.

The leviathan has its own deck of cards, which triggers various effects at the beginning of a player's turn, from targeted attacks that reduce health to effects that move players between spaces or loosen their grip. As the game progresses, the leviathan gradually gains "rage", which intensifies the effect of its event cards.

Players' characters can move around a square grid overlaid on the creature's body by spending action points — the number being determined by a card played at the start of their turn — and their remaining hand of ability cards to reach the crystals and reduce them to zero. Victory is achieved by reducing all crystals, which vary in strength, to zero.

Map Masters offers a dual experience: in competition or in co-operation!

A strange Dowager lives outside of Derby in a sprawling manor distastefully done up like a Scottish castle. More distasteful yet is that her estate is simply crawling with odd characters, refugees from around Europe and eccentric, if pedigreed, characters from closer to home. Respectable people shun the great lady for her appalling taste in acquaintances, but one must confess that her rabble is spectacularly interesting...

The Characters expansion for Obsession brings thematic new personalities to Derbyshire who provide unique actions for managing your country estate: Constable Bucket, a fair hand at running off all manner of unsavoury guests; a Mr. Higbee who can find domestic help in a pinch (“References? I am sure they are here somewhere…”); the wise Reverend Grantly, a dispenser of sage advice; and an Eccentric Dowager Marchioness, who will connect you with a Prussian major, Swedish noble, and a Russian count as quick as a wink.

2. Add one to your collection and apply its effect if it has one (give a surprise sock, steal a sock, etc.).
3. Give the other card to the player on your left or right, following the direction of the arrow.

The game ends as soon as the Washing Machine card is drawn. Count your points, but beware: only even patterns count!

Otters love little fish, clams, crabs, sea stars, and frogs!

In Otter, players race to play all their cards first.

There are three otters to play on. Each pile has a rule about numbers and a rule about suits. You must follow at least one to play on the otter, but if you follow both, you can play there again until you only follow one rule.

Players keep cards they didn't play between rounds and draw back to 10, so you are incentivized to set up and hold on to big combos unless you think you can play your entire hand during the current round.

The key mechanic in this game is if you roll too much of one side, your neighbours get that result instead! That applies to both good - and bad sides.

Don't forget to try the advanced game where each jelly has their own unique game-changing power!

Can you pierce the secrets of the R.A.V.E.L. (Rare Artefact Vertiginous Enigmatic Logical)?

R.A.V.E.L. is an endlessly resettable puzzle, where you’ll have to manipulate 8 dice placed in the centre of a grid in order to solve the Cog cards placed around it. Each solved Cog card will grant you a unique opportunity to further unlock the remaining cards, but only the clever use of your limited resources will allow you to pierce the secrets of this strange contraption.

Rewild: South America is a unique, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game for nature enthusiasts with a heart for wildlife that can be enjoyed in 45-60 minutes.

The thematic focus of Rewild is on the fauna and flora of the South American ecoregions Caatinga, Gran Chaco, Cerrado, Pantanal, Amazon rainforest and Atlantic rainforest. These 6 ecoregions and all their inhabitants exhibit diverse interrelationships and dependencies. One of the core concerns of game author Bruno Liguori Sia, who lives in Brazil himself, was to depict and convey this complex network in a game.

In terms of game mechanics, Rewild has a straightforward foundation. On their turn, each player plays a card and chooses one of two depicted actions. After carrying out this action, the player can attract animals and plants on display to their ecosystem. As soon as a player has 8 (or 9) face-up animal cards in front of them, the end of the game is triggered.

• How do I generate enough resources (water, minerals, seeds) to expand my ecosystem? Where do I place which biomes so that their effects optimally promote the expansion of my ecosystem? Do I focus on one biome or several? Would it make sense to upgrade my existing biomes?
• When do I get all my action cards back into my hand to have more options and resources available again? Do I do this once, twice or even three times and what are my opponents planning? Will I still have enough time to play all my cards in time for them to count towards the effects of my animal cards?
• Which animal and plant cards do I bring into my ecosystem to create an optimally linked ecosystem that generates as many victory points as possible? Are there any cards with immediate effects that would be interesting for a retrigger? Do I keep an animal species until the end, or do I immediately generate points by making it the target of a predator?

The player who best answers and masters all these questions in a game of Rewild receives the most victory points and wins the game.

In Sanctuary, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically-managed zoo for animals and visitors. A supply of 135 unique zoo tiles provides you with animals, buildings, and projects. In every game, you want to find the best mix from those available to build the most successful zoological establishment. Different effects on the tiles will help you to achieve conservation goals and to increase the attraction of your zoo.

Each player has a set of four action cards to manage their gameplay, and the power of an action is determined by the slot the card currently occupies. One of those cards will let you play projects, and the other three cards will let you play animals of a specific habitat: forest, rock, or water.

Sanctuary is based on its predecessor Ark Nova, but modifies and simplifies many of the mechanisms of that game in an elegant and surprising manner. Your goal to find the best way to puzzle together your animals, buildings, and projects on your zoo map is an ongoing pleasure!

In the card game Sensu, players collect Japanese folding fans, trying to collect fan cards worth exactly 15 in their hand. Once they do, they can play that combination of cards to redeem one or more of the cards in it, using the redeemed cards over time to build their personal fans.

The first player to complete the third fan wins, but the Advanced Game also adds new rules (Power Tokens, Power Bonus Markers, Great Fans).

Includes rules for a solo game.

Please note: The current version from 2025 is a new edition of the game that won the 2023 Gioco Inedito contest, that originally awarded a limited edition publication under the DV Games label. The old version from 2023 has slightly different rules and no Advanced Game).

Gentlemen and ladies take to the floor in Shall We Dance, with you trying to pair them off, in addition to specializing in certain types of dancers.

The game contains seven colors of dancers, with each color having ladies on half that color's cards and gentlemen on the other half.

On a turn, play 1-3 cards of the same gender of either a single color you don't have in front of you or only colors you already do have. In the latter case, if you can now pair a gentleman and lady of the same color, do so. Then for each color you played, if you have any "free" (i.e. unpaired) cards, see whether another player has a free card of the same color and opposite gender; if so, take one of these cards to create a pair in front of you, with the holder of the "stolen" card being compensated by 1-2 points from the reserve.

To end your turn, refill your hand to eight cards by drawing 1-3 cards, one each from different stacks. When enough stacks have been depleted, the game ends, with each player revealing one more card to try to make a final pair.

Score 1 point for each pair in front of you. Additionally, each player with the most cards in a color receives 3 points, with 1 point going to whoever has the next most cards. Whoever has the highest score wins.

Skiwi!

Inspired by classic arcade-fighting games, Tag Team is an auto battler combined with a deck-building game. Make your team of two fighters from the twelve available — each with their own techniques and special moves — and build an unbeatable synergy by combining their two unique decks!

In more detail, you start with a deck of only two cards, and the fight unfolds automatically: Flip your cards one at a time and apply their effects. At the end of each round, you get to turn up the heat on the opposing team by strategically adding new cards to program your deck — but without reordering the cards already present. Determine what makes your tag team tick, play devastating combos, and dominate your opponent by deftly blocking their attacks. Timing is everything if you want to emerge victorious and knock out your foe!

It takes two to tango, but only one dancer will stand tall in this trick-taking game for two players! In Tango, players play cards (both from their hand and from their face-up display), in order to perform the best possible dance steps.
Plan ahead as best you can, but remember your opponent knows some of the steps you will take! Will you be named lord or lady of the dance?

Climb the social ladder — or kick it over.

The trick-taking game Tax the Rich features a deck depicting characters of various social ranks from the Poor to the President. Each round begins with a simple bidding phase to determine both the trump color and the number of tricks required to score bonus points. The winner of the bid must then acquire the required number of tricks, together with their ally.

The game is played as a trick-taking game in which the highest social ranks are the strongest cards. However, if at any time all remaining cards in your hand have a flag symbol, you may trigger a "revolution" by revealing your cards. This flips the social hierarchy upside down so that the lowest-ranked cards become the most powerful. Having called for a revolution, you stand publicly exposed, playing the rest of this round with your cards face up.

The game includes thirteen rule cards that add variety by giving certain character cards special abilities related to their profession: Workers "unionize", the Billionaires "power grab", the Police "stop and frisk", Scientists "debunk" etc. You can play with random rule cards or use one of the scenarios suggested in the rules.

With an optional variant, players can also collect cards with a feminist icon to trigger a feminist revolution, boosting the value of all female characters.

In The Great Evening Banquet, you're in charge of seating guests at the state house at tables with VIPs, ideally not foisting anyone on the VIPs they'd prefer not to see, while simultaneously creating harmonious tables, both for the meal itself and the commemorative photos afterward.

To set up, each player has a set of six VIP tables, each of which seats four guests; guests come in five colors and four types, with five of each token — one of them raising a glass in a toast.

At the start of each round, fill the available carriages with 2-4 tokens, then each player chooses a carriage in turn and places all the guests at one or more tables. When a table is full, score it based on type (all of one or one of each is best), color (ideally not three), and raised glasses (the more, the better). Finally, did you meet the VIP's conditions at that table, such as no guests of a certain type or at least two of a color? If so, you score the full value for that table; otherwise, your points are halved.

When you reach 10 points, you must swap a guest from the Grand Salon with one at your tables, whether that table has been scored or not.

After all tables have been filled, take the commemorative photos, scoring points based on how well you've seated guests in the rows and columns of tables.

The Great Evening Banquet includes expert rules in which the tables are close together and a guest can be seated at two simultaneously. Solo rules are included as well, with the number of carriages falling and rising each round.

In The Hanging Gardens, players compete to build the most beautiful garden for King Nebuchadnezzar II.

Players act as gardeners for King Nebuchadnezzar II, building a beautiful hanging garden to please Queen Amytis. Players strategically select and place Garden cards, aiming to earn the most victory points by fulfilling objectives, arranging features, and optimizing card placement.

The game is played over 4 rounds, with each round consisting of players using their 3 Gardeners to select and place 3 Garden cards. Turns proceed clockwise. The key strategy is to plan card placement to maximize connected groups, fulfill objectives, and optimize bonuses while managing resources like tools and gold coins.

After 4 rounds, the player with the most points wins. Ties are broken by tools and coins; tied players share victory if still tied.

As a team of wildlife rangers, your mission is to ensure the well-being of different species in your wildlife reserve while protecting them from potential threats. In The Peak Team, a cooperative game by Scott Almes, 1-5 rangers work together to complete a variety of challenging tasks.

The main board represents the wildlife reserve, dominated by a towering mountain divided into distinct regions. Using a "reverse-drafting" mechanic, where each player assigns their cards to others, rangers will acquire the tools they need to explore the mountain via different paths and transportation systems.

By reaching various locations and observing wildlife, players will complete their personal missions and earn bonuses. Each ranger has two mission slots that fill up as soon as tasks are accomplished. Only by completing all missions before running out of actions will the rangers successfully fulfill their duty!

The Peak Team is built around a tiered level system, with the game increasing in difficulty and complexity as sessions progress. It strikes a careful balance between accessibility for newcomers and a rewarding challenge for seasoned players.

Enhanced by Crocotame's stunning illustrations, The Peak Team is set for release at Essen 2025.

A tranquil summer camp deep in the woods turns into a blood-soaked nightmare. Shadows stretch long under the moonlight, and somewhere out there, a killer is stalking the cabins with a crimson blade. You and your companion must gather your courage and supplies to escape this slasher’s hunt. Your only chance is to work together, outsmart the darkness, and survive the night.

The Slasher is a cooperative trick-taking game for two players that blends deduction, tension, and cardplay. Players face off against the game’s system by playing tricks under restrictive and evolving conditions, attempting to collect sets of cards that represent survival items. Each trick is both an opportunity and a risk—players must navigate limited communication and mounting pressure as they explore locations, avoid deadly encounters, and gather what's needed to escape. The killer's unseen presence looms throughout, forcing tight cooperation and tough choices with every hand.

In the vale, an ancient evil stirs. It has slumbered for years and years and now, it has taken root in every living being, whatever their magical ability. Can you resist the dreadful influence of the Curse-Tree, or will you seek its dark blessings?
This expansion consists of a main module with new cards to shuffle into the card deck, and Tamer tiles. It can also be used with the other expansion for Vale of Eternity, Artifacts.

Work on a day like today? No way. Time to call in sick. Hopefully no one else had the same idea.

Use Up All Your Sick Days is simple. There's no turns and you need to play a card with the next day or same worker currently on top of the discard pile. Or you could play a card face down as a doctor's note, making it wild. But if go to play at the same time as someone else, you both take the card back and draw a couple more cards as a punishment. Naturally, you can't play immediately after yourself either.

Play all your cards to lose a fatigue token and draw back to 7 cards.
The first half of the players to get rid of their fatigue tokens win!

It's a hilarious climbing shedding game fun for the whole family!

Solo, two player, and co-op modes have much more puzzly rules, for when the kids and casual gamers are asleep!

Valpiedra is a cooperative adventure and tactical combat game set in a cursed village overrun by demonic creatures emerging from an infernal rift. From 1 to 4 players take on the role of heroes descending into the catacombs to retrieve a sacred relic and seal the portal to hell before the world is lost.

Throughout the game, the group will explore levels filled with enemies, make critical decisions, and carefully manage their health, equipment, and resources. Combat is resolved with dice and unique hero abilities, as players face creatures that evolve, summon reinforcements, or bend the rules of the game.

The goal: descend to the depths, recover the relic, and ascend before corruption or death consumes you.

Valpiedra offers constant tension and high replayability through creature cards, optional modes, and random events. Will you dare to go down… and return?

Flip your cards in Verso to uncover vibrant landscapes of land, sea, or sky while trying to create sequences and form squares.

To set up, create a deck with 15 cards per player. Each card is double-sided, with a color (blue, green, or orange), a value (1–6 or a joker), and victory points (1 or 3) on one side; the reverse side will have a different color, the other VP value, and an adjacent number (4 or 6 if the front side is a 5) or a joker.

On a turn, either draw a card or bank a sequence. If you draw, take the top card of the deck and either keep it without looking at the back or flip it; add it to your display, keeping each color in its own row. If you would place a card identical to what you already have, discard it instead.

If you have 2-6 cards in sequence in a single color, you can bank them. Take VP tokens from the reserve equal to the sum of the VP on the sequenced cards, then discard the two highest cards in your sequence. Each neighboring player must flip their highest non-joker card in this same color, discarding it if it matches a card they already have and otherwise placing it in the correct row.

If you ever have a 3x3 square of cards — that is, three cards in each of the three colors — you score 7 VP, regardless of whose turn it is. You must bank a sequence before you can score a square again.

When the deck runs out, each player banks one sequence (without causing their neighbors to flip anything), then the player with the most points wins.

You can also play Verso solo, alternating turns with a simulated opponent that may flip one of your highest cards to a different color. Try to top the designers' top score of 64.

Underneath the dense canopy of the Pacific Northwest rainforests, a thriving ecosystem exists. Schools of salmon swim upstream, wildflowers and lush ferns dot the mossy floor, and a gray wolf looks for its next meal. In Canopy: Evergreen, players compete to grow the tallest trees, collect sets of wild plants, and create bountiful habitats to help native animals thrive.

In the game, players take turns selecting new cards for their forest from three growth piles. Each time you look at a pile, you may select it and add those cards to your rainforest tableau, or return the pile face down, adding one additional card to it. As the piles grow, you must search for the plants and animals that will benefit your forest the most — but choose carefully as mingled in with the flora and fauna are dangers in the form of fire, disease, and drought. After three seasons, the player who has grown the most bountiful rainforest wins!

Canopy: Evergreen is a standalone game featuring card drafting and set collection similar to the original Canopy game, with new rules for collecting food, growing trees on your forest board to gain permanent bonuses, and nourishing interactive wildlife. Get lost in the evergreen forest with new plants, animals, and environmentally-friendly 3D tree tokens that grow while you play the game!

Tonight starts the Wizards' Cup, a magical dueling tournament held once every century. As the king of a country, you will select the six best wizards from your kingdom and decide the order in which they will compete. Yes, your role ends there, and all that remains is to watch your trusted wizards battle it out.

In Wizards Cup, you want to build the best team you can, anticipating how your opponent might attack. Each player starts with a set of 18 cards, and your opponent draws a card at random from your deck that must be one of the wizards on your team. You then choose five more wizards, arrange five of the six wizards into a deck, then place the sixth aside in a waiting zone.

Each player reveals their top wizard and places it in the duel zone, then you see who wins. Resolve wizard powers first, then (if needed) compare the elements on these cards (e.g., light beats shadow, nature beats water); if they share the same element, compare values. The losing wizard heads to that player's discard pile, then they draw the next wizard from their deck to go against the opposing victorious wizard. Keep resolving duels until a player has no cards remaining; the other player claims a victory token.

Each player can then swap one wizard from their six with an unused card, after which they again create a five-card deck and duel. Whoever collects two victory tokens first wins.

100年に一度開催される魔法大会、ウィザーズ・カップが今夜ついに開幕。あなたは一国の王として、王国から最高の魔法使いを6人選び、出場順を決めましょう。
そう、あなたの役割はここで終わり。後はあなたの信頼する魔法使いたちの戦いを見守るだけ。最高のチーム編成と戦略で戦いに勝利し、自国の強さを魔法界に誇りましょう。

A mysterious building rise over the hill, bathed with a crepuscular light. Astonished by the strange aura of the Pagoda, you decide to investigate it. Suddenly, a laugh, a shadow which is not yours and an eye with ominous pretensions turns alive. You have broken the peace of ten powerful Japanese spirits (called Yokai) who rested there! Will you find a way to calm their wrath?

A game of Yokai Pagoda is played through 3 rounds, playing always one card per turn, until someone ends the current round. To play a game, you shuffle the 100 number cards (divided by 10 kinds of Yokai, numbered from 1 to 10), lay out two cards face-up to start the two discard piles, then deal seven cards to each player. Place the rest as the Pagoda deck, between the discard piles.

• Playing the same Yokai or the same number allows you to give someone one card from your hand.
• With a different Yokai and a higher number you can take one random card from the deck -or- the first face-up card from the opposite dicard pile.
• With a different Yokai and a lower number you can go on with the round as nothing happened -or- end the current round, but only if you have a total amount of three or less points in your hands. But... you must take only into account the lowest card of each kind of Yokai you have!

At that moment, everyone keeps the cards from their hand into a personal reserve. After 3 rounds, the one with less points in their reserve wins but... again you must take only into account the lowest card of each kind of Yokai you have.

Try to match the balance between lose cards or keep the exact amount you need to reduce your score when other player ends the round. In Yokai Pagoda, knowing when to give a card, keep playing or end the round makes the difference!
