In Rafter Five you and your fellow players want to build the largest raft possible — but ultimately you want to be the only one who can get on it. To get started, stack the top and bottom of the box together to create a base, then place the five wooden raft beams on the starting card on top of the base. In one turn you lift a raft bar, place a raft card on the playing field, replace the raft bar and then place one of your treasure chests somewhere on the raft...ideally in a precarious position, because if someone else knocks this chest off , they must keep it in their stock. If a player collects five treasure chests from other players in their stash, they are out of the game! (You can knock off your own chests without penalty, but you'll make the game easier for everyone else.)

You and your rivals are surfers competing to collect the most points by catching the best waves towards the end of the game. You must maneuver around the blue jellyfish, take advantage of bonus points from matching surfboards and complete three unique objectives each game. At any time, three upcoming waves are visible to all players. Each surfer simultaneously chooses and reveals an energy card, ranging from 1 to 5, which they use to catch a wave in the break zone. The surfer who reveals the highest energy card claims the wave, adding it to their score pile at the end of the game. However, if there is a tie in energy cards, those surfers drop out, allowing the surfer with the second highest card to win the wave. Respect serves as a tiebreaker and is a valuable resource that players can earn and spend to obtain additional energy or surfboard cards from the beach, which grant bonus points. Winning a wave has its drawbacks: the used energy card is permanently removed from the game, depleting your energy supply, while other surfers throw away their spent energy cards but may be able to get them back later. This creates strategic depth in sometimes aiming second to save energy, earn respect or buy strategic cards from the beach. Surfboards obtained from the beach with respect points add bonus victory points for specific wave types, changing the value of certain waves as the game evolves. Temporary energy cards purchased from the beach can provide a crucial advantage in later rounds. Occasionally blue jellyfish drift into the break zone; players should avoid playing their lowest energy cards to avoid a painful sting, which can cost anywhere from 0 to -3 points. Low energy players can choose to rest to gain 1 respect and restore their previously discarded energy cards.

Freshwater Fly is the second standalone game in a series from designer Brian Suhre, which integrates modern game mechanics with the surprisingly rich and unique world of fishing. In Freshwater Fly you encounter a fast-flowing mountain stream full of fish, armed with only a rod, reel and a selection of flies. To catch fish and earn valuable achievement points, you must carefully execute a series of tactical maneuvers while following a thoughtful and evolving strategy. Start by studying the ever-changing outcome in the current, and tie on a fly that suits your target fish at just the right time and place in the river. Then choose to cast upstream to let your fly drift with the current and get extra fish on your line, or take your chances with a precision cast for the perfect catch. In either case, it's wise to cast close to rocks to improve your skills and discover new fishing techniques, while stocking up on finesse for the next challenge. Your reel, which physically spins, offers you different bonuses as you reel in your line, depending on how aggressively you choose to fight the fish you've hooked. Applying resistance will negate the fish's power, but using your momentum can give you a unique action that perfectly prepares you for your next cast. Freshwater Fly is essentially a dice drafting and set collecting game. Each turn, you select a die from the dice pool and assign it to an action related to the specific fishing maneuver you want to perform. Higher dice values ​​usually give you more powerful actions, but collecting lower dice totals can get you free turns. The dice you select also unlock or multiply various bonus actions that you can use to solve the most stringent fishing puzzles in unique and rewarding ways. The fish and fly sets you collect will help you achieve personal and communal goals, but to win you must focus on those goals that overlap in the most valuable ways while not lagging behind in your overall fishing catch. The game ends when a single player catches a seventh fish, achievement points are awarded, and the winner is declared.

Illiterati is a real-time, cooperative word game where players work together to form words and bind books. Each player starts the game with five letter tiles and a red burnt book that shows a condition that player must fulfill to recover that book, for example, using 8+ tiles with at least 3 green symbols, creating words that are all animals, and so forth. A library of three random tiles is placed in the center of the table. The game takes place in three-minute rounds and before the round starts, each player draws seven letter tiles from the draw bag. Once the countdown starts, players can talk and trade letters as much as they want with each other and the library to try to achieve their goal. Once the time is up, if the library contains too many letters you will trigger a burn event. Turn all these letters over, remove one from the game and throw any excess letters into the discard bag. If you burn too many letters, you lose the game. If you haven't burned any letters and you've achieved your goal, turn over your red book and pull out a blue soaked book to give yourself a new goal. At the end of the round, you draw an Illiterati Villain card and resolve its effect. If you previously drew this rogue - and the deck contains five copies of five rogues - then all previous effects of this rogue also resolve into a chain attack. Rogue attacks often strip letters from words, meaning you have to create new words with what's left during the next round to avoid burning another letter. Once all players have completed two books - or three or four, depending on your difficulty level - you draw another book, the Final Chapter, with all players having to complete this challenge in the same round, for example by using 12+ tiles and creating words in which all your vowels are the same color. If all players complete this goal in the same round, you win; if even one person fails, another villain attacks and you draw new tiles to start a new round. You can discard up to seven tiles at the start of a round and draw again, but you must draw a second Illiterati Villain card that round - and if the Villain deck runs out, you lose.
