  • Sale! 2012 The Mayan Calendar - 1 to 4 players, Ages 12 to Adult 2012: The Mayan CalendarClick for a larger image The Mayan Calendar is much more than a system to mark off the passage of time. It is a prophetic calendar that may help us understand the past and foresee the future. It is a calendar of the Ages that describes how the progression of Heavens and Underworlds condition the human consciousness, and thus the frames for our thought and actions within a given Age. To some people it is predicting the end of the world, December 2012. For others, the Calendar is forecasting the start of a new Era. This game incorporates both views. The object of this game is to create a physical vehicle like a pyramid to focus and spread universal spiritual power. For this task we will need builders, materials, equipment and money. We must work together to build 11 Spiritual Centers around the Planet to ward off the many Destructive Perils entering from many directions. How much of the Earth did we allow to be destroyed? How much new spiritual consciousness did we bring into being? Includes: 13”x18” board, 4 movers, 2 dce, sheet of 55 diecut pieces (13 building equipment, 13 building materials, 16 building personnel, 13 building finances), 8 player roles, 6 centers destroyed, 11 spiritual power markers, 12 destructive perils markers, 1 of which is used as a calendar marker. © 2009

  • Sale! Ploughshares - 1 to 8 Players, Ages 9 to Adult Ploughshares Click for a larger image In 1895 in Russia, a group of Christian villagers, believing deeply in Peace and Sharing, burned the Weapons given them by the Tsar. We become those villagers, driving wagons through the countryside, visiting homes to collect Firewood and Weapons. We take these to the Village Center and make Ploughshares. Watch for the Tsar's patrolling soldiers who will confiscate our wagons and send us to prison. Learn love and courage so, with the guidance of our Wise Elders, we will remain determined in our Cause. We might even inspire some Soldiers to drop their weapons and join with us. It will be an Adventure filled with danger and great rewards. To fulfill our task, we must be gentle as a Dove and wise as a Serpent. This is a game of collaboration, learning and discussion; a game full of exciting strategy, with each of us making an important contribution. Includes: 17 x 17" board, special playing cards, movers, dice, collection chart, wagons, rules for regular and advanced games. © 1996 Our customers say: "Made us think about so many deep issues." — British Columbia, Canada

  • 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
