Chess Me
Schachen is a chess variant without a game board, which creates the fascination of a chess game in a compact way. Without long openings, the players enter directly into confrontation. The original rules of Chess are simplified/expanded by a few additional rules.
At the start of the game, each player has a king and four pawns. Cards for the remaining chess pieces form a deck from which the player draws three. The active player first moves a piece according to the original rules for chess, then (optionally) chooses one of the three cards in hand, places it next to an existing card, then draws a replacement card. Pawns must be placed beside another pawn, and all other figures must be placed behind a pawn. The aim of the game remains the same: Checkmate the opponent’s king!
Schachen is for players who like and know chess, but who think the original game is too complex and takes too long.

Christmas Penguins
December once again, the world is covered in snow. Just a few days from Christmas. Our beloved Santa has bought all that stuff on those millions of lists of wishes. The sledge is filled with numerous packages. The rendeers are waiting, but then a view through the window terrifies him : The penguins are stealing the presents from the sledge.
The aim of the game is to capture as many presents as possible, while Father Christmas, helped by a polar bear, tries to recapture the presents from the penguins. When Father Christmas reaches a penguin, the player whose penguin was reached takes the role of Father Christmas.
The winner is the penguin with the most presents at the end of the game. Because Father Christmas doesn’t keep the presents, the player who is Father Christmas cannot win the game.- family game

Councils & Contracts
The highest decision-making organ in a city is the City Council, which lays down the general operative and financial outlines for a city and decides on its main objectives. The true power, however, is a little further down the hierarchy in the different councils working under the City Council.
In the card-driven game Councils & Contracts, the players act as developers who try to push their own objectives — namely, receiving lucrative building contracts. Therefore, it’s important for them to gain influence in every one of the councils since doing so is crucial for deciding the assignment of building contracts. Naturally, all of the developers are keen to gain that influence…
Councils & Contracts is the winner of the third game author’s competition “Edition Kofferspiele” organized by Mücke Spiele/Spielmaterial. In that competition the limitation was that the game fits in 11 x 7,5 x 3 cm metal box. Similar to Hart an der Grenze smuggling boxes. It is easy and light to take with you and has a lot of game inside the box.

Dahschur
Bis zu vier Fürsten vollenden auf Befehl von Pharao Snorfu die Rote Pyramide mit einer Prachtstraße und dem Füllen der Grabkammern. Über richtig eingesetzte Einflusskarten und -marker kaufen die Spieler Edelsteine, setzen sie beim Bau der Prachtstraße ein, positionieren sich für das Füllen der Grabkammern & nutzen Geschenke der Nachbarstädte. Das Dilemma: Von der Wahl der Einflusskarten der Mitspieler hängt auch das eigene Aktionspotential ab. Der Sieger muss an der Einflussreihenfolge gearbeitet haben und Gold und Silber für die Grabkammern zusammentragen.
Ein besonderer Clou des Spieles: Ein optisches Highlight, wenn die Schachtelbox – als Pyramide designt – geöffnet wird, um die verborgene Grabkammer freizugeben, in welcher sich die Endwertung von Dahschur abspielt.

Dahschur
For the fulfilment of the Red Pyramid, Pharaoh Snofru orders the construction of an avenue and the filling of the grave chambers. In this complex strategy game, the players – acting as princes – use their limited influence to become the grand vizier. By clever usage of action cards and commodities, the players buy gems on the market, use them in the construction of the avenue, achieve beneficial positions for the filling of the grave chambers and use the tributes of the neighbouring settlements – all possibilities to score directly or at the end of the game. However, these tasks, asked by the pharaoh, cannot be solved alone! The dilemma: The player’s action potential depends on the cards chosen by the other players, which are pursuing their own goals…
To score at the end of the game, the players not only have to place their offerings in the procession, but will have to collect gold and silver as well in order to fill the grave chambers – preferably by hindering the other players from doing so. The player having collected the most recognition points will receive the title of the grand vizier in the end.
Special feature of the game: The game box is designed as a pyramid, revealing the burial chamber when opened.

Dreck Weg!
While strolling to school one day with friends, you suddenly notice all around you – on the roads and paths, in the shrubs, everywhere really – debris of all kinds, and not worthless debris either but cans and bottles with deposits on them. “Hey,” says one friend, “let’s see who can find and dispose of the most empties.”
In Dreck weg!, played on a variable game board, players roll dice to move and visit roads, trails, playgrounds and parks to collect as much litter as they can carry. Bottles can be exchanged for money at the supermarket, while trash can earn special action cards to be used with additional movement or rolls of the dice. Best of all is the Schadenfreude you’ll feel when you dispose of trash in another player’s garbage bag!
Players earn bonuses for every area cleaned, and in the end the balance of your savings accounts determines who wins.
