Souvenir shopping is a battle against time.
"Souvenirs from Venice" is a board game where you roll dice and move your gondola through the city of Venice looking for souvenirs. From out of the 6 different types, you want to buy and take home the rarest ones, but you need to collect enough for 3 people. However, if you don't make it back to the airport before all of the tiles are flipped over, time's up, and the plane takes off. And that's when the pigeon feed seller comes out of nowhere and throws a wrench in your plans! Featuring rules that are great for a wide range of ages, explore the canals of Venice in this speedy, yet challenging game!
Roll the dice and move your gondola through the tiles spread out on the table. You can buy souvenirs from the nearby tiles. The tiles will be easier to collect as they gradually turn face up, but you need to return to the airport before everything gets flipped over!
The 6 kinds of souvenirs that you can buy in Venice are "Ventian Glass", "Ventian Mask", "Leather Goods", "Gondolier Shirt", "Squid Ink Pasta", and "Fridge Magnet".
These souvenirs must be collected in sets of 3 or else you wont earn any points. It's tricky because there are fewer high value souvenirs so they are difficult to collect.
Within those tiles, if you flip over "The Pigeon Feed Seller", you need to trade one of the souvenirs that you carefully selected to the player next to you...! Whether you decide to try and anticipate his appearance or rush to the airport, the strategies of the player's will surely create some drama!
By lining up the tiles, you can create the city of Venice. On the back side of the tiles are various charming souvenirs such as "Venetian glass" and "squid ink pasta". It also contains many exciting components like a special dice and gondola-shaped wooded pieces.

The chicken "Fafnir" lays two new gems each day, and all the players want to acquire these gems on the off chance that they'll be more valuable than the gems they already hold. Whoever throws away the most gems in a round acquires these two newest gems — but you can't throw away the colors of the gems that Fafnir just laid! No chicken will be impressed by you shaming the gems that you're also trying to acquire!
Once a certain number of stones have been discarded in Fafnir, the round ends, and everyone scores for the gems that they've collected. Gold is worth 1 point each no matter how many have been collected, so go for gold if you want to play it safe. As for the five colors of gems, whichever one appears most frequently is worth 3 points each, while the second most frequent color gem is worth 2 points each, and all other gems are worth -1 point each.

Hey Yo Game

Reader Reward Price: $24.30
In Hey Yo: The Card Game to the Beat, you all play cards to a shared music chart so that you can ideally create solid rhythms and score points. The game includes a small dedicated device that you can use to accompany the gameplay, with players needing to play a card when the music indicates this. If you can't play in time to the rhythm, you're penalized, so you must talk quickly to share information and decide which cards to play. (Alternatively, you can play music of your choice to set the rhythm of play for the game.) Hey Yo includes two identical decks of cards, so instead of playing a co-operative game with 2-5 players, you can have 4-10 players split into teams to compete against one another.

In A Grove Game

In a Grove — a.k.a. Yabunonaka, and Hattari — is a game of bluffing and deduction, and the player who makes too many false accusations loses the game. The game is played in rounds. Each round, each player receives one of the eight silhouettes (which are numbered 2-8 with one blank), while three silhouettes are placed in the center of the table as suspects and the final silhouette is dubbed the victim. (With three players, the #2 is removed from the game.) You have to determine which suspect is the culprit, either to accuse him or to lure the other players into accusing someone who's innocent! All players secretly look at their silhouettes, then pass them right, then look at the new silhouette they received. The first player of the round secretly looks at two of the three suspects, optionally swapping the victim for one of these suspects. This player then places a colored accusation marker below one of the suspects. The next player looks at the two suspects not just marked with an accusation marker, then places a colored accusation marker of their own, covering any markers already beneath that suspect. This continues until all four players have placed an accusation marker, with each player not being allowed to look at the suspect just accused. The round ends, and players reveal the suspects. Who's the culprit? The suspect bearing the highest number – except if the #5 is among the suspects, in which case the suspect with the lowest number is guilty. (The suspect with no number is always innocent.) Anyone who has accused the correct suspect receives their accusation marker back. Any markers incorrectly placed are flipped colored-side down and given to the player who owns the marker on top of the stack. The first player token rotates clockwise, then a new round begins. At the end of a turn if a player has eight or more tokens — or has no tokens — then the game ends, and that player loses.

Insider Game

Games & Puzzles
$28.00
Reader Reward Price: $25.20
Do we really have free will? Who decides this? Are we controlled by what we hear and what we see, even while thinking we decide freely? Insider is a game that deals with these questions. While communicating to others, you have to find the right answers to a quiz or find the "insider" who is manipulating the discussion. The insider will do everything to hide their identity while misleading the others.
In more detail, players are assigned roles at random. One player is the "master", and they secretly select a word from a set given in a deck of cards. (In a variant given in the rulebook, they can freely select and write down a word.) The "insider" player, whose role is not known to the other players, will then secretly view the word. The rest of the players are known as "commons". The commons then have approximately five minutes in which to ask the master "yes" or "no"-type questions so that they can deduce the secret word. The insider attempts to secretly lead the commons towards the correct word. If the commons fail to guess the correct word, everyone loses.
If, however, the word is correctly guessed in the allowable time, the master flips the sand timer, and the commons and master have until the sand runs out to discuss the game and deduce the identity of the insider. If they guess correctly, they win the game together; if they do not, the insider wins.
