Cheating Moth Game

Cheating is forbidden? Not in this naughty game of cards – in fact, you'll probably have to cheat in order to win. In Cheating Moth you want to get rid of all the cards in your hand before anyone else. Each player starts the round with a hand of eight cards, with one player (the oldest) receiving the guard bug – which stays on the table throughout the game – and one card being turnd face-up to start a discard pile. The cards are numbered 1-5, with the majority of them having only numbers; some cards have special abilities that come into play when added to the discard pile or in a player's hand. On a turn, a player places one card from her hand onto the discard pile; that card must be numbered exactly one higher or lower than the card on top of the discard pile. (The numbers wrap, so a 1 can be played on a 5 and vice versa.) If a player can't play a card, she draws one from the deck and her turn ends. There's another way to rid yourself of cards, though: cheating! Throughout the round, you can make cards disappear by dropping them on the floor, hiding them up your sleeve and so on. You must keep your hand of cards above the table at all times, you can't vanish more than one card at once, and you can't rid yourself of your final card this way. The player with the guard bug – and only him! – can call out other players for cheating, and no one can cheat while the accusation is being resolved. If the accusation was false, the Guard must draw a card; otherwise the cheating player takes back the card she tried to lose, is given a card from the Guard's hand as additional punishment, and becomes the new Guard. Cheating is a necessity as the "Cheating Moth" cards can't be played onto the discard pile, but must be disappeared via cheating. (The Guard, however, can play these cards as the Guard is not allowed to cheat.) The action cards work as follows: Ant: After an ant is played, everyone but the active player must take a card from the draw pile. Cockroach: After a cockroach is played, everyone races to play an identically-numbered card on top of it. Only the fastest player gets to leave her card in place. Mosquito: After a mosquito is played, everyone but the active player must slap the pile of cards. Whoever is slowest receives a card from the hand of all other players. Spider: After playing this, give a non-Cheating Moth card from your hand to another player. When one player has no cards in hand, the round ends. All other players score 10 points for each Cheating Moth in hand, 5 points for each action card, and 1 point for each number card. After a number of rounds equal to the number of players, the game ends and the player with the lowest score wins.

Take care of your garden in the crowns of large trees to generate biomass and oxygen in a unique solarpunk universe. Through tile placement and worker placement mechanics, Planta Nubo is a true challenge for the experienced euro gamers that will test your strategic ability.

The objective is clear: Whoever produces the most oxygen will win the game!
In Planta Nubo you will grow energetic flowers in the cloud gardens of the crowns of giant trees called Arbors. Use your bee airships and the cargo containers they carry to deliver the flowers to the biomass converters, so they can transform it into green energy and plant new forests on the remaining fertile land. With the green energy gained, you can activate appropriate modules, while getting much-needed oxygen into the atmosphere through your forests, your bots, and your Arbor. Use your actions efficiently and use your gardening bot to help you with the work in the flower fields. Supply green energy to your workshop to activate modules and oxyfarms. Turn your Arbor into a thriving oxygen production facility.
Ideal for expert players, Planta Nubo generated a lot of excitement at the 2023 Spiele Essen fair, in Germany. Bring the world back to life with your garden in the clouds!
It’s on rare occasions that 3 acclaimed Eurogame designers like Michael Keller (La Granja), Ode (Cooper Island) and Uwe Rosenberg (Agricola) unite for a project so ambitious.

Bitoku (2021) Number of Players: 1-4 Playing Time: 120 Minutes Recommended Ages: 14+ In Bitoku, the players take on the roles of Bitoku spirits of the forest in their path towards transcendence, with the goal of elevating themselves and becoming the next great spirit of the forest. To do so, they will have the help of the yokai, the kodamas and the different pilgrims that accompany them on their path. This is a hand-management, engine-building game with multiple paths to victory. Players will have yokai represented by the cards that make up their hand, which must be placed in the right places at the right times in order to obtain the maximum benefit from the abilities they offer. Furthermore, during the game players can earn more yokai cards for their deck, thereby increasing their playing options and achieving a higher score. Each player also has three yokai guardians (in the form of dice) that they can send to the large regions of the forest on the main board in order to obtain all kinds of new options that they can play during the game. These options can be structures they build in certain areas of the forest, soul crystals that generate resources when certain actions are carried out, and many others as well. The players also have the chance to help the mitamas, lost souls in search of redemption by using the chinkon fireflies. There is truly a wide range of actions to carry out, and this is without taking into account the personal domain where the players can lay out another layer of additional strategy while managing the pilgrims. Pilgrims are followers of the player who embark upon journeys of contemplation and reflection who then share the experiences and learning they can along the spirit path with the Bitoku.
