Card Game

The leader of the coven is dead and the quest is on for between 2 to 10 players to be the vampire who adds the most to their bloodline and becomes the new leader. Fast playing card game using the vampire genre. Beautiful cards, rules, and board brings the game to life.

Players add to their bloodline by staying out on the hunt, but the longer you stay out the better the possibility of daylight, and if your out and the sun comes up then you could lose it all. Use your powers to best your opponents, or to help them, your choice.

Each player takes a character card which has variable powers on them. Cards are flipped from the play deck one at a time, the possibilities are a daylight card which raises the possibility of sunrise, a card which increases a characters bloodline, a slayer card which injures the character or reduces the bloodline, etc. Before each card flip players must decide whether to stay on the hunt with the possibility of more increase or loss to their bloodline, or getting out and holding their bloodline gains for that round. If players stay in and a daylight card is drawn that brings the sun up then any players still in the round lose all of their gains for that round. A number of rounds are played depending on the number of players. Players can play their powers depending on the situation which can help them and other players or hurt other players.

The game plays in 30-60 minutes. Includes box, mounted board, rules, cards, and counters.

In TECH-BUBBLE, 3 to 6 players ride the technology market roller coaster at the turn of the 21st century as it surges and eventually plunges. The players represent various market sectors during the "Dot.Com Bubble". They make decisions to stay in the market and ride out the surge or get out before the bubble bursts. Timing and nerves of steel are everything. And along the way players can affect each other's investments and decisions by crafty play.

Double or Nothing is a fast paced, press-your-luck game that is perfect fun for groups of 3-6 players. How far will you push yourself to score points? Players take turns scoring or flipping over cards, looking to increase their points. Turn over the wrong cards and you will be out of the round.

The last player in the round is forced to play Double or Nothing which can lead to mega-points or nothing at all. Once the seventh bonus card is turned over the game ends and the person with the most points wins.

Its time for a picnic. With the food, the players also bring an assortment of fly swatters and bug spray to defend against the hordes of bugs sure to come.

The starting player pulls a bug card from his hand, and passes it to the next player; who can either play another bug -- passing the larger horde on to his neighbor -- or defend his food with one of the aforementioned weapons. If he fails to do this, he loses food.

The game comes in two editions -- the standard which is comprised of 114 cards and 24 food tiles; and the deluxe, which features 138 wooden tiles.

3 to 5 players lead groups of South Seas pirates, angling for the captain's positions on five ships that make up a small pirate fleet. Why? Well, that's obvious: the captains get the bulk of the booty.

All cards (in different colours and numbered from one to fifteen) are shuffled and dealt out (fewer when playing with fewer players). After the trump colour has been determined, a traditional trick-taking game ensues. Whenever a player wins a trick, they get to place one of their sailors onto the captain position of the ship that matches the colour of the trick. If that post is already taken, then the other player must vacate the spot. That can sometimes end up with a sailor being tossed overboard - but they're not out of the game, they seek safety on an island. The more sailors this happens to, the better their chance of being hired again.

At the end of the game, the captains and sailors on the ships are worth points - sailors stranded on islands worth minus points. Minus points are also awarded when a player wins many tricks during the game - which is why these won tricks can also be passed along.
