In this game, players race to move four pawns from their starting positions around the board into their "Home Country." Basic gameplay resembles Pachisi or Sorry!, but there are a couple of twists. First of all, movement is controlled by a deck of standard playing cards (with some extra Aces and Kings) -- most cards move a pawn forward by their face value...

After 8 rounds, tally up the score to see who...
Googolplex Junior plays the same way the Original Googolplex game does, but hand crafted for small players. The play is a bit quicker and more colorful. Measuring only 10 x 10 inches, a great "Take-a-long" game for hours of play. Each player chooses a color game pawn and places that on "their" starting position on the outside corner. The colorful mix of...
Goola is a advanced adaptation of "Connect Four" with some twists.

The twist here is that scoring only happens...

The game is played very much like regular backgammon... to a point. The first player to get all of his pieces off his home board is the winner. Unlike normal backgammon, however, there are no safe spaces. When your piece(es) land(s) in the same space as an opponent's piece(es), they do battle (rolling dice and comparing the result against a defense factor)...
