A Dynamic Card game with Cats and Strategy!


[h2]Welcome to the Cat Sudoku: Summer Festival![/h2]

Immerse yourself in the captivating and exciting world of this unique card game that combines the logical thinking of classic Sudoku with the enchanting atmosphere of a magical Japanese summer festival. This game promises not just 20 minutes of bright enjoyment but a whole ocean of emotions and entertainment, turning the rules of Sudoku into a thrilling adventure accessible for 1 to 4 players.

Cat Sudoku invites both newcomers and seasoned strategists to dive into a tranquil yet exhilarating atmosphere where every decision you make is an important step toward victory!


[h2]Game Overview[/h2]

The main objective of Cat Sudoku: Summer Festival is to place numbered and colored cards on a 3x3 grid in such a way that each number and color is unique within its row and column.

But that’s not all! Throughout the game, you also collect reserve tokens and strive to position your cards in a special scoring zone to accumulate points and outpace your opponents.

Each new move can dramatically change the game's dynamics, and strategic card usage and reserve management will be crucial to your success. As the deck depletes, the challenges become more complex, and every player aims to score as many points as possible. Cat Sudoku is the perfect choice for a cozy family evening or a relaxing solo gaming experience. Hold tournaments with friends or immerse yourself in a world of puzzles alone—this festival promises unforgettable moments and joy for everyone!


[h2]How to Play[/h2]

  • Draw a card and placeit! Start your turn by drawing a card from the deck and placing it on the grid, following the Sudoku rules: each card must have a unique color and number in its row and column. After successfully placing a card, place the host figure (meeple) on it, adding a visually appealing element. If your card meets special placement conditions, you can earn a valuable reserve token that will become your trump card in the next round!

  • Manage your reserve. If placing a card on the grid is impossible or undesirable, add it to your reserve. Later, you can play it by spending two reserve tokens, allowing you to apply strategy in the future. Mastering your reserve management becomes key to staying ahead in the competition and achieving victory. Use your reserve wisely to not only protect your position but also create new opportunities to attack your opponents!

  • Scoring. The winner will be the player who accumulates the highest number of points from the cards in their scoring zone. But be careful: cards left in reserve may cost you points, so thoughtful reserve management becomes a vital element of strategy. In the case of a tie, the player with the most reserve tokens wins, making every decision you make critical and meaningful!

  • Advanced Scoring. To add extra challenges, you can use a stack-based scoring system. Players earn bonus points for forming stacks of two or three cards, making the game even more thrilling! Create strategies, combine cards, and enjoy the expanded rules that make each game unique!



[h2]Discover the Thrill of Player Count Dynamics![/h2]

Get ready for an exhilarating gaming experience!

Each time you add a new player, the stakes get higher, and the strategy deepens. With every new player comes their own scoring column, creating a dynamic landscape where every move can either bolster your score or inadvertently assist your opponents.

[h3]The excitement ramps up at three players![/h3]

Unlike four-player games where scoring columns overlap, each player has their own dedicated space to shine. To combat crowding, we introduce a vibrant purple card suit for higher player counts, giving you even more strategic options. No matter how many players join, the game flows quickly, keeping everyone engaged. Just remember to be cautious around the corners when playing with four; they’re shared spaces, and you won't be the only one vying for those points!

[h3]Master Your Strategy![/h3]

  • Maximize Your Scoring Potential: Aim to fill your scoring column with as many cards as you can during your turn. In basic scoring mode, each card earns you a point, so the more you play, the more you score. It’s that simple!

  • Outsmart Your Opponents: Turn the tables on your fellow players by strategically placing cards that hinder their moves. If you can position cards to block them from playing effectively, you’ll gain the upper hand. Forcing them to either stash cards in their Reserve (leading to negative points) or inadvertently placing them in your scoring area is a win-win for you!

  • Keep Reserves Ready: Always maintain at least two Reserve Tokens. This flexibility allows you to adapt quickly and offload a Reserve Card when necessary, keeping your strategy fluid and effective.

  • Avoid Carelessness: Stay sharp! Mistakes can lead to unintentional giveaways of Reserve Tokens to your opponents. Playing carelessly isn't just a slip-up; it could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

  • Observe Your Opponents: Keep a close eye on the Reserve Cards of other players. By playing your cards strategically, you can potentially block their optimal moves. If they’re hoarding yellow cards, place yours in a way that limits their options and maximizes your advantage!

  • Weigh Your Options: Sometimes, it’s worth it to give your opponents a point if it means you can gain Reserve Tokens. Remember, each Reserve Card could translate to three points for you, while your opponent gaining a token might only give them three as well. It's a calculated risk that often pays off!

  • Stay Aware of the Deck: Be mindful of how many cards remain in the deck. If you’re holding onto Reserve Cards, make sure you’re not left empty-handed when the game draws to a close.

Experience the Thrill of Stamp Collecting with Stamp Swap!



Have you ever been captivated by the intricate art, historical stories, and global connections behind stamp collecting?

If so, then Stamp Swap is the perfect game for you!

Designed by the renowned Paul Salomon, creator of popular games, Stamp Swap takes you on a thrilling journey through the timeless hobby of philately (stamp collecting) and turns it into an exciting, strategic board game experience you can share with family and friends. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of stamps, this game offers a fast-paced and fun way to immerse yourself in a unique collecting adventure.


[h2]Why Stamp Collecting?[/h2]

Stamp collecting is a hobby steeped in history, art, and culture. For decades, enthusiasts have been drawn to the diversity of designs, stories, and significance that each stamp represents. From rare historical stamps to modern commemorative issues, the world of stamps is as vast as it is fascinating.

Stamp Swap pays homage to this beloved pastime, making it accessible, competitive, and fun for everyone—while keeping the spirit of collecting at its heart. It's a celebration of the beauty and storytelling of stamps while adding the thrill of strategy to the mix.




[h2]Game Overview:[/h2]

In Stamp Swap, players compete over the course of three engaging rounds, each of which is filled with drafting, trading, organizing, and optimizing their personal collection of stamps.

But this isn’t just about grabbing as many stamps as you can—it’s about carefully curating your collection to match the most valuable, rare, and strategically important stamps.

With a mix of strategy, negotiation, and luck, every choice you make could bring you one step closer to victory.




[h2]How to Play:[/h2]


Stamp Swap revolves around three key phases each round, where players will need to balance strategy, risk, and reward. The gameplay is designed to be simple enough for beginners to pick up, yet deep enough for seasoned board gamers to sink their teeth into.

  • Draft & Collect: The round begins with players drafting from a selection of tiles laid out on the table. Some tiles are face-up, allowing you to see exactly what you’re getting, while others remain face-down, adding an element of surprise. These tiles represent the stamps you’ll collect, along with bonus cards that can enhance your strategy. The tension lies in choosing between taking a known value or gambling on hidden treasures—some of which could include rare gold-foil stamps that can earn you big points.

  • Divide & Choose: Once the drafting is complete, players are faced with a crucial decision—divide your collected tiles into two groups. You’ll offer one group to another player, while keeping the other for yourself. It’s a test of judgment and strategy: do you keep the better set of stamps for yourself, or offer it to manipulate your opponent’s choices? The stakes are high, and clever decisions in this phase can make all the difference in the final score.

  • Score & Organize: At the end of each round, players will score points based on a set of predetermined goals. These goals vary from round to round, but they might include collecting stamps from specific regions, completing themed sets, or acquiring the rarest stamps available. Each goal can only be scored once, so you'll need to plan ahead and focus on completing your collection before others beat you to it. With three rounds in total, the player who scores the most points by the end of the game is declared the winner, earning the prestigious title of Master Philatelist!





[h2]Features You’ll Love:[/h2]

  • Strategic Depth and Replayability: No two games of Stamp Swap are ever the same. The combination of drafting, dividing, and scoring objectives creates a wealth of strategic options, ensuring that every decision counts. As the game evolves over three rounds, you'll need to adapt to new challenges and stay one step ahead of your opponents to win.

  • Stunning Components and Design: Featuring beautifully illustrated stamp tiles, the game evokes the elegance of real-world philately. Each tile is meticulously crafted, showcasing both classic and modern stamp designs. The rare gold-foil stamps add a luxurious touch, elevating the overall aesthetic and making the game a visual delight.

  • Accessible yet Challenging: Stamp Swap’s rules are easy to learn, making it a fantastic choice for casual gamers and experienced board game enthusiasts alike. Its blend of simple mechanics and rich strategy means players of all skill levels can jump in and enjoy. Whether you're playing with friends at a game night or introducing younger family members to the joys of collecting, Stamp Swap has something for everyone.

  • Solo Mode and Multiplayer Options: Want to test your stamp-collecting skills solo? Stamp Swap offers a solo mode where you can challenge yourself against a tough AI opponent, making it the perfect companion for solo gamers. And when you’re ready for a full multiplayer experience, the game supports up to five players, providing a competitive yet friendly atmosphere for group play.

  • Collecting Meets Competition: Stamp Swap masterfully blends the joy of stamp collecting with the thrill of competition. As you draft, trade, and organize your collection, you’ll be constantly thinking about how to outwit your opponents, while also enjoying the satisfaction of building a unique and valuable set of stamps.

Gems of Iridescia: A Thrilling Gem Mining Adventure Awaits You!



Welcome to the captivating world of Iridescia, a land once abandoned but now ready to be rediscovered.

Centuries ago, a powerful cataclysm forced the inhabitants of Iridescia to flee their homeland, taking to the skies and leaving behind a rich world brimming with rare gems, forgotten relics, and untold secrets.

The time has come for explorers to return, and you are one of the bold adventurers ready to brave these lands.

In Gems of Iridescia, you’ll lead your clan on an epic journey to mine valuable gems, restore the ancient relics of this forgotten civilization, and ultimately claim the throne of Iridescia.

This thrilling game of strategy, luck, and adventure combines worker placement, resource management, and relic restoration, creating a dynamic gameplay experience that’s easy to learn but difficult to master.

Whether you’re new to board games or a seasoned player looking for your next challenge, Gems of Iridescia promises to immerse you in a world filled with twists and surprises. Can you rise above the competition and earn enough Royalty Points to prove your right to rule?



[h2]Choose Your Champion and Begin the Journey[/h2]

Every great adventure starts with a hero, and in Gems of Iridescia, you’ll have the chance to choose from one of four unique adventurers, each with their own distinct traits, backstory, and strengths. Will you take control of a powerful mechanical robot, unstoppable in its pursuit of gems and glory?

Or will you lead a noble rhino explorer, whose strength and determination are unmatched?

Each character offers a different playstyle, allowing you to approach the game in a way that matches your strategy.

[h3]As soon as you step foot in Iridescia, the adventure begins. [/h3]

The game board is divided into a vast network of hidden tiles, each concealing valuable resources. As you explore the land, you’ll uncover new locations, mine precious gems, and face difficult decisions that will impact your success.

Every move you make can change the course of the game, as the market for gems is constantly in flux.

Will you be able to capitalize on the shifting market, or will your competitors outsmart you and take control of the most valuable treasures?

The fate of Iridescia lies in your hands.



[h2]Explore, Mine, and Build Your Wealth[/h2]

The world of Iridescia is teeming with hidden treasures just waiting to be unearthed. As you move across the board, you’ll flip over tiles to reveal gems buried beneath the surface. Each gem color corresponds to a specific dice value, and your mining success will depend on your ability to roll the right numbers.

But this is no simple dice game — you’ll need to carefully plan your moves and manage your resources if you want to come out on top.

Do you take a risk and push your luck to mine more gems, or do you play it safe and secure the resources you already have?

With each successful roll, you’ll add valuable gems to your cargo hold. These gems can be used in several ways: you can sell them for gold to purchase powerful tools, trade them for Royalty Points by restoring ancient relics, or hold onto them for future opportunities. The gem market is constantly changing, and the value of your resources can plummet if you wait too long to sell.

Timing is everything in Gems of Iridescia, and those who can read the market and act quickly will have a huge advantage over their rivals.



[h2]Master the Art of Timing and Strategy[/h2]

One of the most exciting elements of Gems of Iridescia is the dynamic and ever-changing gem market.

Every action taken by you or your opponents can cause the value of certain gems to rise or fall. This means that careful planning and strategic thinking are essential if you want to outwit your competitors. Do you sell your gems early to secure a modest profit, or do you wait for the market to peak, risking a potential loss in value?

The right move at the right time can make all the difference, and a single miscalculation could leave you empty-handed.

[h3]But selling gems isn’t your only path to victory[/h3]

Throughout the game, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase powerful tools from Rumi, the Traveling Merchant. These tools offer a wide range of abilities, from enhancing your mining skills to sabotaging your opponents. Using the right tool at the right moment can turn the tide of the game in your favor, allowing you to mine more efficiently, restore relics faster, or disrupt your rivals’ plans. A clever combination of tools and timing can give you the edge you need to claim the throne.



[h2]Unearth Ancient Relics and Prove Your Right to the Throne[/h2]

While mining gems and manipulating the market are important aspects of Gems of Iridescia, the ultimate goal of the game is to restore ancient relics and earn Royalty Points. The more relics you restore, the closer you come to proving your worth as the ruler of Iridescia.

But restoring relics isn’t easy — you’ll need to find the right combination of gems to unlock their power. Each relic type (Jewelry, Technology, and Lore) offers different rewards, and completing a full set of relics will grant you massive bonuses at the end of the game.

In addition to the standard relics, the game features a special artifact known as the Iridia Stone. This legendary relic is hidden somewhere in the world of Iridescia, and the first player to uncover it will gain a significant advantage in their quest for the throne. The Iridia Stone is a wild card that can be used to complete any relic set, giving its holder a major boost in Royalty Points. Will you be the lucky explorer who finds this legendary treasure, or will it fall into the hands of your rivals?



[h2]A World Full of Adventure, Depth, and Replayability[/h2]

One of the things that makes Gems of Iridescia so unique is its blend of simplicity and depth. The game is designed to be easy to learn, with straightforward rules that allow players to jump into the action without spending hours reading through rulebooks. Within minutes, new players can start exploring, mining, and making strategic decisions. But beneath this simplicity lies a deep and complex game that offers endless opportunities for mastery.

Every playthrough of Gems of Iridescia is different, thanks to the variety of secret objectives, hidden tiles, and multiple ways to score points. Whether you focus on mining, relic restoration, or market manipulation, there’s always a new strategy to explore.

The game’s dynamic market system ensures that no two games are ever the same, as the value of gems shifts in response to player actions. This creates a constantly evolving challenge, where your success depends on your ability to adapt to changing circumstances and outthink your opponents.



[h2]Go Solo Against the Fierce Rhom Deck[/h2]

For players who enjoy a solo experience, Gems of Iridescia offers an engaging and challenging single-player mode.

In this mode, you’ll face off against the automated Rhom deck, a relentless opponent that simulates the actions of a competing player. The Rhom deck follows its own set of rules, blocking actions, collecting gems, and restoring relics just like a real player. This solo mode provides a rich and rewarding experience, offering all the excitement of a multiplayer game without the need for additional players.



[h2]Bonus Content: The Starlight of Iridescia Mini-Expansion[/h2]

For even more excitement, Gems of Iridescia includes the Starlight of Iridescia mini-expansion. This expansion introduces a double-sided game board with a stunning "starry night" overlay, adding a new visual dimension to the game. In addition to the new board, the expansion features glow-in-the-dark Star Gem tokens, bringing a magical touch to your mining adventure. These tokens add new strategic possibilities, offering players even more ways to explore and discover the hidden treasures of Iridescia.


[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Claim the Throne and Reunite the People of Iridescia![/h2]

Gems of Iridescia isn’t just a board game — it’s a full-fledged adventure that transports you to a world filled with wonder, danger, and the thrill of competition.

Every decision you make, every gem you mine, and every relic you restore brings you one step closer to victory. The race for the throne is fierce, and only the most strategic and daring explorer will emerge as the ruler of Iridescia.
