Squish Blocks is an abstract strategy game where players lay square colored cards to create a board. Players try to create a situation of sandwiching a different colored card between two like color cards. When this occurs, the player captures the block in between and scores the points. Players may capture multiple cards in one turn. Games can be set up for...
Guess this one can be easiest described as "Rock-Paper-Scissors" meets "Tic-Tac-Toe". Each of the 2 (or 4 players in two teams) gets 2 pawns of each type (rock, paper, scissors). Symbols are hidden to the opponents first, but become known once the game progresses. Players move their pawns and battle other players pawns by using the rock-paper-scissor order...
This is a tie-in to the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. Each Squomino has an Oompa-Loompa in a colored uniform on each of its four sides. Players link pairs of matching Oompa-Loompas by placing the Squominos in a spiral shape. Players start with 7 Squominos. If they cannot play a Squomino on their turn, they pick one up from the pool. The...
This is a preschool game suitable for small children BUT there are enough interesting tactics to make this a viable game for older children or adults. Players roll two dice each turn. The first one determines which color worm to move (half of the dice sides permit you to choose a color) the second shows how many spaces to move. If you manage to completely...
From the box: Sqwurm is a fun, fast-moving, triangular card game! You as a competitor play the part of a Wizard-King. The Wizard part of you tries to conjure up an entire dragon. The dragon breathes fire, captures damsels, and hoards treasure much like dragons in the days of old. The King part of you sends out knights to attack or defend a dragon, rescue...
St. George and the Dragon is played on a round board shaped like a wheel with 14 spokes, with a pattern of points on those lines starting from its center and radiating out to the edge of the board. Longitudinal lines are also drawn connecting the points. The central circle is green and is called the Dragon’s Lair. At four equidistant locations on the outer...
The defender (Swiss soldiers) may place his 6 red pawns in the middle square (fortress) at his discretion on the black squares. The 24 attackers position themselves at the bottom edge of the 4 outer squares, on the 6 lowest black squares. The defender may move his pawns forward and backward on the black squares and must capture enemy pawns by jumping over...
An abstract game played on a 5x5 grid. Each player has one pawn that they will use to build and claim stacks as well as block their opponent from doing the same. The goal is to be the first player to claim 4 three-high stacks or be the player with the most stacks when no further moves can be made. The rules of Stac are quite simple: 1) On your turn, move...
Stac-tac-toe is a variation on the traditional tic-tac-toe game. Instead of being able to play into any one of the nine positions, a play must be made into one of the three "columns." The columns may be stacked as high as desired. After all of the beads have been played, then a player can split a substack ( 1 to number in stack) from any stack, and then...
The object of this game is to remove all of your balls from the board. Each player, in turn, inserts his pop-stick through any one of the openings as far into the board as he pleases. The insertion of the stick causes the balls to pop up. The player must remove all of the balls that pop up, even his opponents. The stick may not be removed until his next...
From the back of the box: A player's task in the game of STACK is to reach the other side of the board with either a single block or a stack of blocks under the player's control, by means of stacking, splitting or attacking by tactical moves. The first player to reach the other end of the board and remain on that circle, without being taken on their...
Stack-22 is a tile-stacking game that uses polyhexes of 5 hexagons, called pentahexes. There are 22 different pentahexes (hence the name of the game). Stack-22 is a new addition to the Pile-Omino family (SEVEN, Pent-Up and Counterplays) by the same designer. All of them play the same, but Stack-22 can be considered a step up from Seven. Warning: this is...
