Buy the Jungle Speed Game
Jungle Speed
A classic dexterity game with a setup that couldn’t be any easier – each player is dealt a hand of cards, and a wooden totem is placed in the middle of the playing area. Players simultaneously reveal a card from their hands, and if two players reveal the same card, they must race to be the first to grab the totem. Whoever grabs the totem first gives their cards to other. The first player to get rid of all their cards is the winner.

Barrel of Monkeys
Everyone knows that a barrel of monkeys is the standard by which all other fun things are compared – and for good reason – few things are more fun than a Barrel of Monkeys!

Ghost Blitz
What do a red chair, a blue book, a green bottle, a grey mouse and a white ghost all have in common? Not much – and that’s what makes this game a blast. A card if flipped showing a combination of these items in different colours, then the players race to grab correct one. The player who grabs the correct item gets the card. Count up the cards at the end of the game, and whoever has the most is the winner.

Buy the Ghost Blitz Game
Buy the Tokyo Jutaku Game
Tokyo Jutaku
Tokyo houses can be small, sometimes built on plots of land not much larger than a parking space. But the residents make this work with a very efficient use of space, and that’s what this game is all about. You take role of an architect building these tiny homes by efficiently stacking blocks on tiny plots. It’s a race, and points are awarded for objectives like complexity and height of the building.
Average Playtime: 10 – 45 minutes
Recommended Age: 14+
Number of Players: 1 – 8
Difficulty (BGG Weight): 1.57/5
Rhino Hero
Everyone works together to build a house of cards – but it’s more like a skyscraper of cards that our hero, a heavy lumbering rhinoceros, must climb. Use your cards to add additional floors and move up the Rhino Hero. The first player to use all their cards wins, or the first player to cause the building to fall loses. This one is a good time for players of all ages.
Average Playtime: 5 – 15 minutes

Stonehenge and the Sun
What will your group’s Stonehenge look like? In this game, players take turns placing stones to build the great prehistoric monument. Easy enough. Except there is a ball on a pendulum in the middle that must be passed from one side of Stonehenge to the other without knocking over any stones. Any stones that get toppled become negative points. At the end of the game the player with the fewest negative points is the winner.
