From the Publisher:

Wicked Witches Way is a board game which will put you in command of a flying witches broom that you will have to control with daring and mastery.

Your goal? Win the race by passing the finish line first! Spot the dice, recreate the proper formula and advance... But don't forget that two kinds of combinations are possible, depending on the color: orange and its turbo mode, or black, with its special cards filled with spells and sneaky tricks! The choice is yours! Memory, audacity, and cunning will be your best assets to take the victory.

Yahtzee is a classic dice game played with 5 dice. Each player's turn consists of rolling the dice up to 3 times in hope of making 1 of 13 categories. Examples of categories are 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, straight, full house, etc. Each player tries to fill in a score for each category, but this is not always possible. When all players have entered a score or a zero for all 13 categories, the game ends and total scores are compared.

The traditional (public domain) game Yacht predates the trademarked game, and has slightly different scoring.

There are four basic scoring difference between the tradition game Yacht and Yahtzee. They are: 1) Yacht has no Three of a Kind category, 2) there are no bonuses in Yacht, 3) there are no Joker rules in Yacht, and 4) the Full House category is scored as the sum of the dice. The other scoring rules are identical between the two games.

Travel versions of the game use a device that keeps the dice captured within cells of a plastic box and allows players to "lock" a particular die between rolls.

From the publisher's catalog:

"Who will be the first player to get rid of the dangerous eggs of the Rattlesnakes?

Rattlesnake is an easy, fun game for kids of all ages. The game will challenge their strategy and dexterity!

Players will compete to be the first to place all their 'snake eggs' on the board, but these funny magnetic 'eggs' will clash if you make the wrong move, and then you will have to pick them all up!

The first game published by Nexus for family entertainment, Rattlesnake will be a sure hit with parents and younger players, as well as seasoned gamers looking for a fresh, quick dexterity game."

Another 'Good Game Gone Bad' from Smirk and Dagger Games. This builds upon the same type of cookie carnage in "Run for your Life, Candyman!" but is totally amped up in a whole NEW game that parodies Chutes and ladders with delicious mayhem.

From the box:

The gingerbread men have left the confines of their sugar-frosted land and let their rage spill over into yet another family favorite board game, where total carnage has its ‘ups and downs’. The board’s original slides and ladders once helped teach kids about morality. But in "SHOOTIN’ LADDERS: Frag Fest", you’ll more likely learn a lesson in ‘mortality’ and that everyone gets their just desserts.

So sling your M&M16, load your Dessert Eagle and get ready to blast the other cookies to bits as you climb and slide your way to victory!
