In the dice-rolling game Pizza Party, each of the two players rolls five dice over and over again at the same time, trying to match their dice to the toppings on the pizza slice card they drew. As soon as dice match, you can place them on the appropriate toppings on the card, and as soon as all the ingredients are supplied, you grab another card and start rolling once again. Whoever first creates an entire pizza pie of six slices wins!
Settlers of Catan Travel Edition is, as the name says, a Travel Edition of The Settlers of Catan.
The rules of the game are the same, but there are some changes between the two editions:
No Expansions: In the Travel Edition it is not possible to add any expansions to the regular game, so it is a 3 or 4 players game only.
Pre-determined Desert location: The hex containing the Desert is always in the middle of the board.
Pre-determined numbers: The numbers for production are in fixed locations on the board. That is a natural follow up to the previous item.
Pre-determined port location: Although the type of port at a given location may vary, the port sites themselves are in fixed locations. So the numbers for production, where a port exists, are always the same, and there is never a port near the Desert.
Snap in bits: The roads, villages and cities are all snapped into the board during game play, so it is difficult to mess with the board. The Robber, however, sits freely on the board, and, as you need somewhere to throw the dice, you may prefer a table upon which to play the Travel Edition (although the box top or box insert could be used as a dice tray).
Belongs to the Catan Series.
From the publisher: "Torches are blazing, mists are wafting ... in the Holy Circle the High Priestess celebrates her ritual with her novices. They sing with all their heart, cuddle the artifacts, and rearrange them in ever new patterns.
"But what if you do not know the religious rules? The best thing is to watch what the others are doing and imitate them. But cautious: Maybe your neighbor just violated a taboo and made the High Priestess angry …
"Each player takes the role of the High Priestess once and determines the rules of her own religion. The other players are novices trying to sense these rules and thus gather as much karma as possible."
The "priestess" player secretly chooses four cards that determine which actions are rewarded and which taboo. The other players simply move a pawn on the board and are awarded points by the priestess based on how their actions (including seemingly irrelevant ones like body movement or tone of voice) correspond with the rules. At the end of a round the priestess receives the same score as the highest-scoring adept, encouraging her to make the rules difficult but not impossible to guess.
Ultimate Stratego is an updated version of the original which introduces 3 new gameplay modes. The Lightning Game pits 2 players against each other in fast-paced 1-on-1 combat. The Campaign Game introduces 4 army combat, giving each player control of 2 armies instead of 1. Finally, the Alliances Game is a 4 player partnership battle. Ultimate Stratego features a double sided square combat board and introduces revised rules and new ranks to the original game.
This expansion to the The Duke core game, adds a little literary flair, while still maintaining the the major goal of the game, which is to capture the opponent's Duke tile. It introduces four characters taken from the Robert E. Howard literary universe.
1. Conan the Barbarian
2. Kull the Conqueror
3. Dark Agnes de Chastillon
4. Soloman Kane
This expansion does make some modifications to the starting tile set, as well as providing two possible playing options for the expansion set.
When using The Duke: Robert E. Howard Expansion you replace the following tiles in the core game:
Conan = Champion
Kull = Wizard
Agnes = Ranger
Solomon Kane = Priest
The rulebook for this expansion provides two ways to incorporate these tiles into the game.
1. Utilizing a draft selection process between both players.
2. Allowing players to choose whether to accept the expansion tile in place of the corresponding core game tile when it is drawn from the bag.
