Quarto
$34.99 SRP
NPI

Quarto! has a 4 x 4 board and 16 pieces in which each piece has four dichotomous attributes; color, height, shape, and consistency, so each piece is either black or white, tall or short, square or round, and hollow or solid. The object is to place the fourth piece in a row in which all four pieces have at least one attribute in common. The twist is that your opponent gets to choose the piece you place on the board each turn!

Quarto is available in Mini and Pocket versions!

Quoridor
$34.99 SRP
NPI

The abstract strategy game Quoridor is surprisingly deep for its simple rules. The object of the game is to advance your pawn to the opposite edge of the board. On your turn you may either move your pawn or place a wall. You may hinder your opponent with wall placement, but not completely block him off. Meanwhile, he is trying to do the same to you. The first pawn to reach the opposite side wins.

Quoridor is available in Mini, Pocket and Kid versions!

Color Pop
$34.99 SRP
NPI

Color Pop seems like a video game brought to the board game world, complete with a cool gadget to mimic the work done by our digital overlords.

The game board consists of an inclined plastic holder that holds ten racks, with each rack holding ten colored tokens. Tokens come in five player colors and the five white Jokers which can represent any color. Each player receives a token that reveals their color for the game, a token that she keeps hidden from other players.

On a turn, a player chooses a group of two or more orthogonally connected tokens and pushes on these tokens so that they fall through the racks and down the holder. A player can choose to make a joker any color, so she can include or exclude a joker as she wishes during her turn. Any tokens that were above these will slide down inside the racks and the player keeps all the tokens removed.

Players take turns removing tokens until either a player is eliminated from the game or no groups of two or more tokens remain. At this point, the game ends and players reveal their secret colors. Whoever has the fewest tokens of their color on the board wins! If two or more players are tied, they compare the tokens they collected during the game; whoever collected fewer of his or her own color wins.

You have to be crafty to completely and discreetly remove all the counters of your color!

Marrakech
$34.99 SRP
NPI

The bazaar is bustling; it’s the big day at the rug market and the best salesperson will soon be named but who will it be?

Each player is a salesperson who tries to outwit the others. Each player takes it in turns to throw the dice and then move Assam, the market organizer. If Assam stops on an opponent’s rug, the salesperson must make a payment to its owner before putting one of their own rugs on an adjoining space. When the last rug has been laid, the total number of visible rugs and the number owned by each salesperson are added up and the best player wins!

Gloobz
$19.99 SRP
NPI

Gloobz are adorable creatures, but they wreak havoc everywhere they go so catch them quickly or else!

On a turn, a player calls either ‘more’ or ‘less’, then flips the top card of the deck. According to what the current players draws, all the players try to catch the figurines whose shape or colors appear the most or the least on the current card. Each correct figurine caught will score you one point but you will be penalized if you make a mistake!

Special cards can be added to this cheerful confusion so you need to be quick-witted and fast-acting to catch these funny creatures before your opponents do!

2-6 players
Ages 6+
20 minute play time
