  • Sale! Power Blackout - 3 to 12 players, Ages 12 to Adult Click for a larger image Within 16 rounds or fewer, bring Power to all 100 Populated Centers on the Continent. We are CEOs in control of our own Power Grids on the Continent. Each of us is responsible for bringing and maintaining full electrical service to our Populated Centers. There are Bonus Revenues and other Perks for fully servicing one’s own Area. However, as we have learned from several recent Blackouts, each Grid is interdependent with other Grids, so CEOs must work together for the survival of the Continental Power System. Negotiation and deal-making skills are very important to everyone’s success. Thus, tension is created between balancing the needs of one’s own constituency and the overall good. When is it best to compromise and when is it best to be selfish? The well-being of millions of people are at stake. Includes: 17 x 17" board, rules, action summary cards, 100 tower/blackout tokens, bank notes (1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 million dollars), set of play cards including a CEO card, 12 continental areas, 12 power plants, 16 year/going rates, a variety of good and bad news cards. © 2004 Our customers say: "Wheeling and dealing and hardnosed bargaining while trying to keep an eye on the entire Continent’s situation makes this a very challenging game. The great interaction among the players, often with a competitive edge, makes this a very different co-operative game. We six adults have played 12 times now for an exhausting, exhilarating experience each time!" — Sean, OH

  • Sale! Somewhere in China - 2 to 5 players, Ages 12 to Adult Click for a larger image Village and Town Markets need Fish of various kinds. We are a Fishing Co-operative, each responsible for our own Boat, but working together to fill the Market Orders.

We have to rely on each other, keep in contact a lot and try to coordinate our efforts for everyone’s benefit. This co-operative spirit is the secret of good sailing and successful fishing. We also must return safely to our Home Ports before the Stormy Season makes fishing and deliveries too dangerous to continue. May the Forces that be smile on our efforts!

  • Sale! The Open Road - 2 to 8 players, Ages 12 to Adult Click for a larger image The Gypsy peoples come from the Sind region, now in Pakistan. When they came to Western Europe they were under the protection of the King of Hungary. This privileged situation did not last long, as amazement at their way of life commonly led to hostilities. It still leads to hostilities from people of their host nations. Europeans saw "private property" as sacrosanct, whereas gypsies did not have a word for "possess." This led to a continual problem of gypsies being regarded as "thieves" from the European view. In the game, we are Gypsies trying to earn as much Gold as we can, and bring it to the Big Gypsy Gathering. We need to finance the various Festivities of Weddings, Baptisms, Meetings, Feasts and Entertainment. This must be done before Border Checkpoints are closed, preventing us from travelling and earning our living. We have only two rounds of Events to accomplish our goal of raising money for the Gathering! Includes: 17" x 22" board, 4 movers and matching caravan cards, 26 coloured wagons, 24 trades, 24 gold payments for trades, 56 events, rules for regular and advanced games. © 2009

  • Sale! Warp 'n Woof 2 to 4 players, Ages 12 to Adult Click for a larger image Players must carefully weave their pieces past each other to Home (the opposite corner). A traffic jam will lose the game for everyone. Tactics involve self-sacrifice, luck of the dice and cleverness in using the opportunities that Chance provides. The game has the 'feel' of backgammon. For younger players, set it up with fewer pieces. For serious strategists, the game can be recorded as you delve into the intricate world of openings, and mid and endgame tactics. 2 to 4 players, ages 12 to adult. Includes: 12 x 12" board, 4 sets of colored wooden pieces, dice, illustrated rules. © 1983 Our customers say: "This is a very elegant game. I love to play it with my daughter." — Las Vegas, USA
