“Ghost Blitz” is a lightning-fast reaction game which is won by the player with the quickest hands and mind. Each card flipped over is a new mini brain game in which to solve. This is a new kind of brain training.

Lightning-fast reflexes is the key – but you also must be nimble of mind. Can you find the figure that is hiding on each of the 60 cards? Which player is the quickest to solve the puzzle, and grab the correct object before the others can react? Be quick but don’t grab the wrong object.

In NMBR 9, players attempt to score the most points by building the best stack of uniquely shaped and arranged number tiles.

Tiles on higher levels of your stack score more points, but be careful how quickly you build upwards! Without a solid foundation, you’ll quickly run out of space for more valuable tiles.

Each of the ten types of number tiles covers a different amount of space and no part of a tile can hang over an edge without anything below it. Properly consider all the factors and cleverly place your tiles to beat this intriguing puzzle. With just a deck of cards and a pack of number tiles, NMBR 9 presents a unique and varied challenge every time you play. During each round, a card drawn from the deck determines what number tile you need to place. There are many solutions to the puzzle at the heart of NMBR 9, but only one of them will win.

Patchwork is a light, two-player board game where players are each attempting to piece together a quilt using oddly shaped, tetris-like tiles. Players use buttons to purchase new tiles to add to their quilt, but they must be picky in which tiles to select as buttons also count as victory points at the end of the game.

This edition will introduce new artwork and will get some extra treatment for the box.

This anniversary box will also contain the additional AUTOMA deck for solitaire play!

Hey, That’s My Fish!

In Hey, That’s My Fish!, players want to catch as many fish as possible with their waddle of penguins. Each turn, a player moves one penguin in a straight line over hex-shaped ice tiles with 1, 2 or 3 fish on them. The player then collects the hex from where the penguin started its movement from the table, thereby creating a gap which penguins can’t cross on future turns. When a penguin can’t move, it’s removed from play with its owner claiming the tile on which it stands. The player who collects the most fish wins.

Animal Upon Animal

The animals want to show how good they are at making tall pyramids! They must be skillfully careful: Who will position the penguin on top of the crocodile, the sheep on top of the penguin, the serpent on the sheep? The hedgehog wants to stand on top of the pyramid but the height is making him dizzy.

Tier auf Tier (a.k.a. Animal Upon Animal, Pyramide d’animaux, and Dier op dier) is a simple stacking game, listed for ages 4-99, with 29 cute wooden animals.

Each turn a player rolls the die and either places one or two animals on to the stack of animals, passes one of his or her animals to another player for them to place, or places an animal on the table, extending the base for other players to build upon. Of course, if any pieces fall off whilst you are building, you get up to two of them back. The first player to have used all of their animals wins.

This game, intended for children, is equally popular with adults.
