Katamino Duo – a.k.a., Katamini – is a junior version of Katamino, with two players competing on separate game boards (or possibly one game board divided into smaller spaces) to fill all of the empty spaces first. The game is played over a number of rounds, with each round becoming progressively harder.
Katamino Duo also works as a solitaire puzzle, with the solver trying to fit the pieces onto the playing area in different ways.
The sultan has issued a decree: Whoever can build the most amazing palace in the city of Sultaniya will be made Grand Vizier. Become a character from 1001 Arabian Nights and build graceful minarets, dazzling gates and soaring cupolas to draw the eye of the sultan and carve your name in history. Players will carefully select the best building tiles to erect the most impressive structures, scoring points for following patterns and fulfilling secret objectives. Earn sapphires, and use them to secure the services of the mighty Djinn, whose aid will be invaluable in your quest to create the most stunning palace the city has ever seen.

NOTE: Unfortunately, Cranium had to be removed due to the clay being a poor fit for the library. We were having issues with people sticking the clay to tables, other games, and food. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Inspired by ancient art, Tesserae combines elements of dominoes and jigsaw puzzles to form a game of shapes and patterns. Since it doesn't rely on a square grid, tiles will fit together in interesting and surprising ways. The basic game provides a good blend of strategy and luck, while advanced rules allow for either pure skill games, or ones where luck is more of a factor. Suitable for solitaire, one to five individual players, and several combinations of teams.
The game of Tesserae pits players against one another, meshing colored tiles into the ever-evolving play field, each trying to exhaust their supply of tiles while preventing their opponents from doing the same. Skillful strategy can pay off, but be careful -- things can change on the luck of a draw! This is a game that will stretch your brain.
The country of La Guerre des Moutons (the war of sheep) is full of fields and forests. There are sheep in the fields and wolves and hunters in the forests. Each player tries to make the largest pens with his own sheep inside by placing his own tiles. You can easily close small pens, or you can be ambitious and try to build large farms... but if you cannot enclose the fields, your sheep are likely to be eaten by the big bad wolves roaming in the nearby forests. Each player's animal is secret at the beginning of the game, but the soonest you reveal it, the more points you get.
