Albert Einstein, a German-born theoretical physicist, once said, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” In this game, players will be attempting to duplicate molecule configurations. If the match is 100% accurate, the miracle of science is made visible to everyone. But it’s not that easy. Molecular bonds are hard to keep together, especially when sharing a lab with other scientists! Continue reading

Odds are you have determined the outcome of some life decision by engaging your adversary in the ancient and traditional battle of Rock Paper Scissors.

In this game, Rock Paper Scissors is taken to new heights of intensity and competitiveness. Clever timing divides the winner from the loser. Puppy not included. Continue reading
In this abstract game of strategy, players must move and defend at the same time. Walls must be constructed to protect and sometimes demolished to advance. Cannonballs can target seemingly unreachable units that are a long way off from the battle line, and the limits of space will require players to consider the value of each of their pieces. In the end, the player who can balance and optimize the fastest will win the war! Continue reading
It was bound to happen. When the Zombie-Alien-Demon-Vampire Apocalypse erupted, your family was prepared for the worst. What you didn’t count on, ironically, was your neighborhood. The biggest threat is not the giant undead half-demon munching on your grandmother. Rather, it’s your neighbors who are quietly spying on you from behind closed curtains. This game is all about the survival of the fittest in the suburbs. Lock, load, and live! Continue reading

Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, said that “Life is a journey, not a destination.” In this game, there are no set paths to victory or signposts to guide.

Each step is a lesson and an opportunity to improve, making the journey a process of exploration and refinement. All paths lead to victory, but this is a race, so don’t dawdle. Continue reading
The nondescript island is barely a scratch on your nautical maps. If one were to glance quickly, many would mistake the mark as nothing more than a small stain. But you know better.

You have gathered the wealth with the help of others, but now it’s time to claim the riches for your own! Continue reading
The idea of being a novelist has always been alluring to me. I romantically dream of a life full of literature, sweater vests, and luncheons with poets and other writers. Conversations would be deep and meaningful as we sipped our expensive coffees. In reality, being a successful writer means lots of long hours, rejection letters, and moments of pure panic as you struggle to write. In this game, players will get to experience the trials and tribulations that come with attempting to write the next great novel! Continue reading
The legend of King Arthur is loaded with heroic deeds and betrayal. At the very heart of King Arthur’s kingdom, the Round Table, deceit spreads like a disease. No one can be trusted fully and the forces that would see King Arthur fall work hard to influence and corrupt the king’s most trusted Knights. The true ruler of the kingdom and of the Round Table is the player who is the most cunning and knows that loyalty is a very fickle thing. Continue reading
Remember blowing out the candles on your cake and making a birthday wish? Of course you do. I’ve always wished for the original G.I. Joe U.S.S. Flag Aircraft Carrier. Sadly, no matter how many candles I blow out, my wish never comes true. That’s OK, because it’s the thought that counts, right? Well…sometimes. The idea that there is no such thing as a “bad gift” is thoroughly explored and repeatedly debunked in this gift-giving party game of hilarity. Continue reading
