Description:
In general these are introduction games for people wanting to get into the hobby. Each game is short to explain and the concept should be easy to grasp for all ages and for all backgrounds.
Wildlife Safari
There are five different animals, with six cards, zero through five, in each of the colors. The cards are dealt out, and then players take turns playing a card and taking any available animal. When one color has all six cards played on it, then the game is over, and players use the last card played in each category to value their animal. The highest total value wins.
Camel Cup
In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to suss out which will place first and second in a quick race around a pyramid. The earlier you place your bet, the more you can win — should you guess correctly, of course. Camels don’t run neatly, however, sometimes landing on top of another one and being carried toward the finish line. Who’s going to run when? That all depends on how the dice come out of the pyramid dice shaker, which releases one die at a time when players pause from their bets long enough to see who’s actually moving!
King Domino
Dominoes with a kingdom-building twist. Each turn, connect a new domino to your existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. The game mechanics for obtaining the tiles is clever: the order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen. Make sure to secure tiles with crowns- these royal treasures help to multiply the worth of your kingdom at the end of the game! The game ends when each player has completed a 5×5 grid, and then points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and crowns.
Escape the Cursed Temple
Escape: The Curse of the Temple is a cooperative game in which players must escape (yes…) from a temple (yes…) which is cursed (yes…) before the temple collapses and kills one or more explorers, thereby causing everyone to lose.
