  • Sale! Personal Portraits - 1 to 30 players, Adults Click for a larger image For Adults who like to talk over, reflect about and generally explore who they are and what is important to them in this ever challenging world. In a non-competitive, relaxed friendly format, we paint verbal portraits of each other using the image cards provided. The cards are both serious and playfully humorous. We rank the Images on each other's charts as well. How important, for example, are Family Reunions to Jim? More important than having a Car? And where do Politics fit in? To add to the enjoyment, there are Quips to consult, Koans to answer and Furtunes to consider, as revealed by the Gypsy at the end of the game. Rules provide for Solitaire play, a Couples version, and a Group version for up to 30; thus, this is a game suitable for a few or for Socials, Parties...

  • 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! 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
