Pattern Recognition

Codenames

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.

In Codenames, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Codenames: Win or lose, it's fun to figure out the clues.

Stomple

This is a strategic marble stomping game.
Outwit your opponents by stomping their marbles before they stomp yours!
Outmaneuver by leaving their "stomper" trapped with no escape. OUTSTOMP the competition and you win!
Each player has a "stomper" piece with a marble of a different color attached to the top. On a player's turn, he or she may stomp any marble (by putting it on top of it, knocking it underneath the board), not in the outside ring. On the following turn, the player can stomp any adjacent marbles of the same color, or stomp a marble matching the color of his/her "stomper" piece.

Boggle

'Boggle is a timed word game in which players have 3 minutes to find as many connected words as possible from the face up letters resting in a 16 cube grid. When the timer runs out, players compare their lists of words and remove any words found by multiple players. Points are then awarded for remaining words, depending on how many letters are in the word. (In the original Boggle, all words must contain 3 or more letters to score points.)

An example grid given in the French Canadian rules (of Deluxe Boggle) holds an amazing 459 words!

A number of variants have been produced by Parker Brothers over time, including Big Boggle (which uses a 5×5 grid of letters and forces players to search for longer words).

Boggle is a word dice game.

Stowaway 52

You have gotten yourself onboard an alien ship on its way to attack Earth. You need to sneak around the aliens, learn your way around the ship, and sabotage their evil plans. Can you sabotage the ship in time without getting caught?

Stowaway 52 is a choose your path gamebook in a deck of cards. You can start your adventure on any card, and on each card the choice you make tells you which card to go to next. The goal is to find the path through the adventure that visits all 52 cards.

There are five game modes:
Too Many Stowaways - 2-5 players are chasing each other around the ship, trying not to get caught!
Two Stowaways - A 2-player race through the ship to get the highest score.
One Stowaway - A solitaire adventure trying to get the high score(a perfect score is 52).
Stowaway Rummy - A rummy variant using story segments as melds for up to 4 players.
Alien Treasure Hunting - A 2 Player game where one player hides treasures and the other player one tries to find the best one.

Set Dice

Set Dice has three dice games in one box, and in all three games, the more sets you make, the higher your score. What's a set, you ask? To make a set, you need three dice on which the shape of the symbols on them are all the same or all different, on which the number of symbols are all the same or all different, and on which the color of the symbols are all the same or all different. The three games in this collection are:

Scramble SET: Drop all 42 dice from the bag onto the table, then start calling out sets as soon as you see them. When no more sets remain, tally the number of sets for each player, then start another round. Whoever has the high score after five rounds wins.
Crossword SET: Each player takes ten dice, then rolls them at the same time to start play, with players trying to combine their dice into a crossword-style grid made of sets. Whoever uses all of her dice first wins.
SET CUBED: Players score points Scrabble-style by creating sets with their dice and with dice already on the game board.
