Bluffing

Alcatraz: The Scapegoat is a game about conflicted loyalties. On one hand, the players work together to bust out of the famous prison; on the other hand they all know that one of them will be left behind as the scapegoat.

Alcatraz is a peculiar game because while it is cooperative in some aspects, with players needing to work together to complete tasks, the game has loads of negative interaction as one player will always be the scapegoat. You don't want to be that guy. You don't "go all in," you don't always keep your promises, and you don't do "what's best for the group." Instead, you do everything you can to become indispensable, and "everything" is literal here – even if it means stealing from, betraying, and blackmailing other players.

In order to escape from Alcatraz, the players need to complete six parts of a plan. Each part is a "pick-up and deliver" task requiring specific items obtained in different parts of the prison. Once each part of the plan is completed, every player but the scapegoat moves a little closer to escaping, with the scapegoat being voted on each round by all the players – most likely the player who contributed the least to completing that particular task, but you never know. Thus, you could say that Alcatraz is a cooperative game – but with a twist.

The map of the prison constituting the play area is generated randomly each game, providing high replayability. Alcatraz is designed for 3-4 players, and due to its theme and complex gameplay is best suited for mature players.

Everybody gets to fight to the very end! Also, weapons and attacks are fused into a single card.

Constantly wandering around the warehouse, the rabbits are always ready to snatch away the carrots piled up inside. The farmers cherish their own dear little pet bunnies, but they are furious when other farmers' bunnies come to eat all the carrots they have grown.
Now, the farmers have had enough of it, and have decided to seize all the others' rabbits! But considering that every one of them wants to hide away his own bunnies, will it be that simple to catch others' bunnies? Your goal in this game is to hide away your own bunnies from the other players, and to hunt out the other players' rabbits.

This is a tile placement game with an interesting theme from a Chinese idiom - A cunning rabbit has three warrens. In this game you need to hide your rabbit cards into the farmyard and find out other players' rabbits. However, every turn you need to place a card to the farmyard. Then you can execute two actions. If you use too much actions to trace rabbits, your hand will reduce quickly, but catch others' rabbits is the only way to win.

Players are notorious gang bosses in the heyday of organized crime in Chicago during the 1920s. The goal of the game is to take control of the main legal and illegal sources of profit, meaning bars, game rooms, jazz clubs and revue theaters. To do this, each player sends his men to intimidate the owners of these businesses and gain them to their cause. Most of the businesses even change ownership at the game table! The winner is the first player who, by playing poker combinations with his cards, takes control over 3 businesses of the same kind, 4 different ones, or any 5.
