DOS Second Edition is the true sequel to the classic game of UNO. As that game's spiritual successor, DOS Second Edition plays a lot like UNO but with a few twists.

Like UNO, the object of DOS Second Edition is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards, but now there are two discard piles and players are allowed to add two cards together to help empty their hand faster.

On your turn you can play cards from your hand onto one or both discard piles by matching color, number, or symbol. You can also add two cards together to make a number match, but both cards must be the same color (for example, if the top card of a discard pile is a red 7, you can add together a yellow 3 and a yellow 4 and play them together as a 7 on that pile).

Watch out for classic UNO action cards like Skip, Reverse, and Draw 2 as well as the all-new Wild Play 2 card, which forces the next player to play 2 cards on their turn or lose their turn and draw 2 cards as a penalty.

Note: DOS Second Edition is has completely different gameplay than the earlier DOS card game (2018).

Based on the classic card game Garbage (or Trash), Elimino is a fast paced card game that features strategy, luck, and sabotage!

In Elimino, each player races to complete their numbered collection of cards in successive rounds while stealing from and sabotaging each other to try and get ahead. However, the further a player gets ahead in the game, the bigger of a target they place on their back. Designed and developed by 11 and 13-year-old sisters, this all-ages game is quick to learn and challenging to win.

Smarter than you think, easier than you expect!
This little Japanese game doesn’t fit into any single category. You don’t realize how rich The Number is while playing.

The Number is an expert mix of mechanics: Bluffing, Risk-taking, but also Guessing (a mechanic that involves anticipating your opponent’s next moves and adapting your strategy accordingly). It takes 5 minutes to learn, but you won’t have it all figured out yet!

Choose, check and resolve!
How to play?

A game of The Number plays over 2 rounds of 5 turns each during which everyone plays simultaneously.

1- Choose

Each turn, everyone secretly writes a number from 000 to 999 on their boards, then reveals them at the same time.

2- Check

Line up the numbers from biggest to smallest (top to bottom) and check if your number is approved (it doesn’t share digits with any of the numbers below it) or eliminated (it has at least one digit in common with any of the numbers below it).

3- Resolve

If your number is approved, gain as many points as the first digit of your number. Then, you must cross off the digits you used in your number from your board. You will not be able to use them for the rest of the round.

The card game Velonimo allows you to depict the merciless struggle in the animal world for the distinctive and highly prized "petits pois-carottes" jersey rewarded to the best climbing cyclist. This trick taking game features ultra simple rules for an absolutely addictive play experience.

Goal of the Game: Race to the summit to score as many points as possible and win the covered jersey. To win a race, you must be the first player to get rid of all your cards. Racer cards may be played alone or in specific combinations of the same color or same value. There are also breakaway specialist cards which work alone to speed ahead of the pack.

Victory: The game has 5 rounds, each representing the ascent of a different mountain summit by riders in a cycling race. To win the round, yo need to get rid of all of your cards before any other player. Even if you are not the winner, you can still score points for your position. Keep playing until there is only one player left. At the end of each round, the player with the highest points total is the leader and received the coveted jersey. The player who receives the jersey at the end of the last round, after the final scoring, is the winner.

In SETUP, you create a set or sets, scoring points to move around the board. How many points on each turn depends on how good you are at spotting sequences and by playing a set which will create multiple combinations on the board. Even when it's not your turn, unwitting opponents may gift you points by creating sets using tiles in your bonus spaces, so always keep your eyes peeled to claim those extra points.

SETUP is a game of strategic tile placement, making sets of numbers of matching suits. You can't always plan in advance though as the tiles stack, so a sequence you had in mind may disappear when your opponents take their turn.

The strategy is even more intense when you try team play mode, work with a partner to plan your sets together. You'll work hard to maximize points, help your partner create sets, and gift each other bonus points. Careful how many points you score because the game ends when the first player crosses the finish line, but being in first place doesn't decide the win; it's the team that avoids finishing last when the game ends!
