Publisher: Logy Games (King’s Valley)

Genre/Mechanisms: abstract strategy, action/dexterity

Player Count: 2-8

Solo Mode: no

Complexity: light

Risk: medium-low

Summary: “The player who places all of their balls on the board first, wins the game. Passing on your turn is not allowed.  A Player who fails to successfully place a ball including the ball(s) falling during the placement, immediately loses the game and the game ends.  In this event, the player with the fewest balls wins the game.  In the event of a tie, the player who last successfully placed a ball wins the game. Each ball is held with four pillars on the ground level based on the pattern of the pillars. This new system gives us some very interesting patterns and awesome placement options. Strategy in this game is not mathematical, instead players need nimble finger skills, good intuition and a delicate sense of balance. Use careful balancing, or gravity will win.”

Summary: “In this fast-paced card game, each player takes their turn picking up a card from the deck, reading out the rule and following that rule. Every player will have their own set of rules to follow, determined by which cards they pick up. The rules on the cards consist of things like movement, speech, and memory challenges. If a player breaks a rule on one of their cards, they must pay the penalty written in red. If they don’t have any points, they must drop all of their cards and start again. So stay alert and call out rule-breakers when you see them. Using the in-game decisions, players can use strategy along with their skills to win the game.”
