Tile Placement

Knitting Circle is a stand-alone follow up to the puzzle game Calico! In this tile-laying game for the whole family, players are knitters competing to create the coziest, most beautiful assortment of garments.

Rounds are simple - collect yarn from the central basket and knit it into garments while trying to get your color combinations and patterns just right! Earn victory points by completing garments, adding buttons, and fulfilling bonus scoring goals. Along the way, your furry feline friend can help you out by reaching their grabby paws into the bag to secure you the best yarn!

With variable scoring goals, and dozens of unique template cards, each game of Knitting Circle brings a new spatial puzzle to your table!

Labyrinth (formerly The aMAZEing Labyrinth) has spawned a whole line of Labyrinth games. The game board has a set of tiles fixed solidly onto it; the remaining tiles that make up the labyrinth slide in and out of the rows created by the tiles that are locked in place. One tile always remains outside the labyrinth, and players take turns taking this extra tile and sliding it into a row of the labyrinth, moving all those tiles and pushing one out the other side of the board; this newly removed tile becomes the piece for the next player to add to the maze.

Players move around the shifting paths of the labyrinth in a race to collect various treasures. Whoever collects all of his treasures first and returns to his home space wins!

Labyrinth is simple at first glance and an excellent puzzle-solving game for children; it can also be played by adults using more strategy and more of a cutthroat approach.

The realm of Elementis, once a harmonious balance of earth, air, fire, and water, is now under siege. Elemental Aetherfiends have dispatched waves of invaders to drain our aethercore, the realm's lifeblood, causing chaos to reign. You and your companions must build powerful elemental spires to lure away and defeat these invaders. As each spire grows stronger, it will unleash a devastating resurgence against the Aetherfiends. Can you restore balance before it's too late?

Aetherspire is a cooperative 3D tile placement and tower defense game for 1-4 players.

You and your companions will take on the role of Elementis heroes, working together to mold elemental power into four spires, one of each element: earth, air, fire, and water. A spire is a set of four floor tiles, one on top of another, all of the same element. Each time you complete a spire, that element’s aether fiend is defeated. Once all four aether fiends have been defeated, the heroes share in glorious victory, having restored balance to the realm of Elementis!

However, if the precious aethercore is depleted, or if you take too long to defeat the aether fiends, then the heroes lose the game, and chaos will overtake your world!

Welcome to the Dungeon!

Two players go Head-to-Head controlling opposing sides in a game of deduction and deceit. One player controls a party of four heroes adventuring into a dungeon for treasure. The other is the Dungeon Lord who reigns over the dungeon's traps, treasures, and monsters. The heroes' party consists of a Warrior, a Cleric, a Rogue, and a Wizard, who must work together, using each of their special abilities to overcome the puzzles presented by the scheming Dungeon Lord.

Railroad Tiles, a sequel to the roll-and-write series Railroad Ink, is a quick-playing tile placement game in which you pick tiles and place routes to build an interconnected community.

The game is played over eight rounds. You start each round by drafting your tiles from the sets available in the common pool, then you place your routes in front of you, trying to make as many connections as possible; be careful not to lock yourself in with choices that are too constraining. Each round, you can also place cars, trains, or travelers to populate the tiny little landscape you're creating - as long as you have free space on your tiles. The available actions change from round to round, so you need to prepare in advance!

The more pieces of the same kind each new placement connects to, the more points you earn. You can also score bonus points at game's end for placing tiles in a large rectangle without gaps and for creating sets of three adjacent city tiles.
