Welcome to the toy spring car rally! No more dust rising or motors roaring. Instead, you'll see sweet little cars run squeaking along the racing track. You must use the rally cards to move forward or wind up your spring. The more you wind it up, the more you will travel — but never wind more than needed, or things can go wrong. It's time to begin the race! The first person to finish two laps will win. Let's start the engines...I mean...wind your springs and let it roll!

In Spring Rally, players control their toy car based on trick-taking mechanisms. The game lasts three rounds, and in each round, players play a card from their hand to advance their car on the track. If the player wins the trick, they move their car as much as the lowest number on the card played in the round. Other players wind up their spring, which can help to boost them along when they win a trick. As long as a player avoids winning a trick, they gain the chance to advance much more later — but too much winding makes your spring stop working!



The player who first circles the track two times wins the game.

Finally! After a long trip, your adventurers have reached the island of Karuba and hunt for hidden treasures. Who will lead their expedition team along the smartest route through the jungle, all while keeping an eye out for gold and crystals along the way? Hurry up and be the first to reach the temples to collect the most valuable treasures. But be careful! Many paths have dead ends- you need to be patient and mindful to find the best way through the jungle. The adventurer team with the most valuable treasures at the end wins the game.

This is a tile-laying race game with players starting with boards that are identical, and one player drawing tiles that they all will use. They race to get their explorers to temples first and earn points. Along the way they can collect additional points by collecting items off the paths they create. The game ends when one player gets all of their explorers to their corresponding temples or whenever the last tile is drawn and placed.

Karuba was nominated for a 2016 Spiel des Jahres award.

On their turn, players draw 5 cards and play - these cards allow them to move, activate the tiles they are to perform the tiles actions, attack heroes, and move their units around. After each player, draw and perform cards from the heroes deck.

Your goal as a team in every scenario is to survive the 3 levels of threat from the invading heroes by protecting the treasures in each room. If the main treasure is taken, the game ends and you lose, but if you manage to protect the treasures for long enough, you all win.

Your people arrive in a valley in which humankind has not yet left a single footprint. Explore its regions and try to divine what Pachamama wishes you to plant in each location.



The Pachamama wheel specifies the secret setup of the Terrain tiles, determined by the Scenario disc inserted into it before playing. During the game, it indicates the terrain of the spaces the Quechuas discover, according to the precise location of the space.



You must deduce which types of crops your Quechuas should plant to respect the will of Pachamama. It will be crucial to respect:

• certain size for regions
  
• principle of diversity: a region can never contain two identical crops
  

Pachamama forbids any transgression of these two fundamental rules. For each space on the board, there is only one correct choice!

Honor Pachamama’s desire for variety by planting crops on the Terrain spaces you discover, and by progressing your diversity stones, all while maintaining equilibrium, lockstep with nature.

In The Big Pig Game, each player picks a character to play as and puts the character card in front of them. Then the team of players pick a meal based on difficulty (breakfast for easy, lunch for medium, and dinner for hard). Each meal is a different board with four foods displayed that the players must consume. Each of the foods has 16 tiles that are placed on top of them and each tile has a value. When playing the game, players will munch the foods and be able to remove a total value of tiles equal to their character's hunger value.



Each round a "bad things" card is played. These are events that make the food harder to eat either by having a one time effect or an effect that lasts the whole round. Then the players take their turns, taking one action at a time, and going clockwise. Each character card has 4 actions. To take an action, place a "snack token" on one of the four available actions that does not already have a snack token, and take the action described in that spot. These actions can involve things like munching the food, obtaining an item card for a bonus, or playing a card. When munching a food, remove the tiles from the food board and place them on your character card. The food tiles munched can be used to boost your action cards later. Each action card has a unique effect if it is boosted. After a player takes their turn by performing an action, that player draws action cards up to their hand size.



Play continues until each player has performed their four actions for the turn. Then the car moves forward one space on the game board. If the car reaches the house, the family has returned and stops the feast! All of the players lose. If the car didn't reach the house, players play another round. If at any point the players consume all of the food tiles off of one food, they receive a bonus card that effects each player and gives them a boost. If The players consume every food tile on each of the foods on the whole board, the players immediately win the game!
