A tricky, fast-paced social bluffing game for teams! While playing Sign, the tension builds up quickly. Cards fly across the table, followed by mischievous looks back and forth! You look her in the eyes, what is she hiding? Was that a sign? Or is she onto you?! Sign is a quick and fast card game designed for friends or family. It can be described as a mix of Poker and Set because of the card design. Sign plays quickly, making it an ideal evening starter or can be played in cafes or bars. Players form teams and create non-verbal signs to win. Once a round begins, players must collect a set of five cards with the same symbol. The rules seem simple, but it quickly becomes difficult when you have to pay attention to all the players and collect cards at the same time, without taking turns.

Crystallo is a solo puzzle/abstract card game with a light fantasy theme. Explore the cave of the evil Black Dragon by placing cards, releasing six magical creatures by crafting crystal sets and, if you succeed, trap the dragon in its own cave. Collect treasures along the way and you might become a rich champion! The Games Friends: Crystallo is a fun solo game with simple rules. But as easy as the rules are, it is just as difficult to win this game. That still hasn't worked after more than five games. The advantage of this is that you do not immediately have the feeling that you have completed the game, but the disadvantage is that you do not always feel super satisfied.

Give her a hand and create the most beautiful garden for the Queen of Hearts to enjoy!

An unusual, complex yet well-balanced board/card game for two from the prolific Reiner Knizia. The original title, "Auf der Reeperbahn...", refers to a popular German film from 1954. Near the center of a 17-space court, the six game figures begin as players compete against each other to lure their opposite ends off the board. You play as many cards of the same suit as you want during your turn and much of the movement is a direct result of card play: e.g. by playing a red 4 you bring the red figure ("Rote Lola" or "Dancing Deb ") 4 spaces closer to your end of the board. However, there are special tricks and limitations that must be learned and kept firmly in mind before the meaning of the game begins to emerge. For example, the central green figure ("Brilli-Lilli" or "Saucy Sue") who wins for you if the game ends with her on your half of the board can only move within the boundaries of her "bodyguards", two gray figures. The yellow figure ("Blonde Hans" or "Handsome Hal") can, without benefit from a played card, summon any of these three figures to its field. The green companion ('Schampus-Charly' or 'Champagne Charlie'), who can also win the game if you place him on one of the two spaces at your end of the board (your 'nightclub'), only goes to you if the board situation at the end of your turn concerns both bodyguards on your half of the board and/or one (or more) of the other figures in your nightclub. And so on. The game, part of the two-player Kosmos series, is one of attack and counterattack, defense and forethought and can be won early or on the turn of the last card on the second pass through the deck. After 10-20 minutes it's begging to be played again immediately.

Draftosaurus: Marina pushes the boundaries of your park and adds a new species to the design: plesiosaurs! This expansion for Draftosaurus adds a new double-sided board that any player can combine with their existing park to add a new river zone. Plesiosaurs are the only dino meeples that can be placed in this part of the river and earn points at the end of the game. To move your plesiosaur further down the river and earn more points, you must place specific other species in your park to unlock the dams one by one! The Games Friends: Just like the other expansion of Draftosaurus, this is also a nice addition to the base game. If you have played the basic game a number of times, you are ready for some variation and then this expansion will come into its own. Ultimately, you'll probably never play without it again.

One player (playing the role of child) must recreate the scene depicted on a memory card for another player whose eyes are closed (playing the role of 'grandfather'). This only happens by placing objects in his/her hand. The other players only see the mime (the gesture imitation) and must add additional memory cards that appear to correspond to the mime. Grandpa opens his eyes and has to find the right memories among all the cards on the table. The Games Friends: " In the Palm of your Hand is a game with well-known mechanisms, but with a surprising twist. Because you are only allowed to play it on the hand of your fellow player, you have to look at the cards very differently. Very cool done! "

The bees have discovered the economy. The queens believe that if they sell honey to the bears, badgers and forest animals, they will find peace and prosperity. Spring has arrived and it's time to build the hive, find nectar, make honey and, for the first time ever, set up shop. Honey Buzz is a worker bee placement game where players expand a personal hive by drafting different honeycomb tiles that contain actions that activate during the game. Each tile represents a different action. Whenever a tile is placed to complete a certain pattern, a series of actions are activated in the order the player chooses. A tile drawn on the first turn can be activated up to three times at any time during the game. It all depends on how the player places his beeples (bee + meeple) and builds his hive. After all, in the honey sector, efficiency is the most important thing. As you continually expand your hive, you forage for nectar and pollen, make honey, sell different varieties at the bear market, organize honey tastings, and care for the queen and her court. There's only so much nectar to go around, and finding it won't be easy. Players will have to explore the nectar field and pay attention to other players' searches to try to figure out the location of the nectar they need for themselves. The Games Friends: Honey Buzz is such a wonderful game! The artwork and material are all top notch! The game itself is also cleverly put together and plays smoothly. Because you have to make enough tactical choices, it is also fun for the experienced player.
