RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand. Pick a dealer who shuffles the deck and deals 7 cards facedown to each player. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from others. The dealer places the remaining deck facedown on the table as a draw deck and flips over the top card to start a discard pile. If this card is an action card, then ignore it and flip over another card until you get a non-action card.

The player to the left of the dealer goes first, then play initially proceeds clockwise. On your turn, you may play 1 card from your hand to discard pile, if you want. You can only play a card if it matches at least one attribute of the top card on the discard pile: its color, number, or symbol. If you cannot make a play, or you choose not to, then you must draw the top card of the deck and add it to your hand. If the drawn card is a playable card, then you are allowed to play it if you want. If there are no cards in the draw deck, then shuffle all but the top card of the discard pile into a new draw deck.

After you play or draw your turn ends and the next player goes. The moment you only have 1 card in your hand, you must yell “UNO” to alert of the other players you are about to win. However, if someone beats you to it, and calls “UNO” before the next player takes their turn, then you must draw 2 penalty cards.

There are special action cards you can play. When you do this is what happens:
Draw 2: The next player must draw 2 cards and loses their turn
Skip: the next player loses their turn.
Reverse: change the direction of play so it goes in the opposite direction
Wild: this card can match to any card in the discard pile. After playing a wild, you get to pick the color that continues play.
Wild shuffle hands: this card is a wild and can be played on anything. Once played, collect every card from all the players’ hands and shuffle them together. Starting with the player to your left, deal out all the cards to all the players. Players may end up with more or fewer cards than what they started with. Play continues in the current direction of play with you picking the color.

Wild draw four: this card is a wild and can be played on anything, however you are only allowed to play this card if you do not have any other cards in your hand with the same color as the top card in the discard. Once played, the next player may either draw 4 cards and lose their turn or they may challenge. If you challenge a draw 4, then the player who played it must reveal their hand. If they do not have the color in their hand that matches the discard pile they played to, then you must draw 6 cards and lose your turn. If they do have the color, then they must draw 4 cards instead and it is your turn. Regardless of the outcome of a challenge, that player picks the color that continues play.

Wild customizable: Before the game begins, remove these 3 cards and write with a pencil on them your own rule that must be followed when played. This card is a wild that may be played on any other card and you get to pick the color that continues play.

The first player to get rid of all the cards in their hand, wins. There is an optional victory method you can play which is for points. At the end of each hand, the player who went out scores points for each card remaining in their opponents’ hands. All number cards are worth their face value. Skip, reverse, and draw 2 are each worth 20 points. Wild cards are worth 50 points each. The first player to 500 points, wins.

How to play Crokinole

RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to reach 100 or more points. Layout the board and place the pegs into their holes near the center. Each player takes 12 disks of the same color. Players position themselves at opposite quadrants. The youngest player goes first, then turns alternate. On your turn, you must shoot 1 disk with your finger. All disks must be shot from the outermost black edge of your quadrant. This is called the shooting line. You may shoot from anywhere on the shooting line so long as at least half of your disk is within your quadrant and some part it touches the black shooting line.

When your opponent has no disc is on the board and it is your shot, this is called a “free shot” and you are allowed to shoot towards the center of the board without restriction. Otherwise, it is called a “Regular shot”. When you have a regular shot, you must hit at least one opponent disc by contacting it directly with your shooting disc or by indirectly hitting another disc into it. If you fail to hit an opponent’s disc, then the disc that you shot with, along with every friendly disc that that disc hit, if any, are removed from the board and placed in the outer recessed ring, called the “gutter”.

Whenever a disc makes it into the center hole, without being removed to the gutter, then that disc is removed from the board and set aside and will be worth 20 points at the end of the game.

Once each player has shot all 12 of their discs, then the round ends and points are scored. Discs score points based on the point value for whichever ring they are in. If a disc overlaps another ring, then it scores for the lesser value. Discs in the gutter are worth 0. Calculate the totals for both players and the player with the most points wins the round and receives points equal to the difference between the two totals. The loser of the round receives 0 points. Record the scores and play another round, alternating who shoots first.

The first player to reach 100 or more points wins. You can play with teams of two by having teammates on opposite quadrants, each shooting 6 discs, with turn order going clockwise.

RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get 3 tiles in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Give each player a bingo card. Place the tiles in the center of the table. Pick a player to go first, the play initially proceeds clockwise. On your turn roll all 3 dice. First, look at the 2 white dice to indicate to you what matching colored space and number should be covered on your card, then if you have the available spot, place a tile there. If you roll a wild color, then you may pick any singe spot on your card with the indicated number regardless of color, but only 1.

After you place your tile, look at the black command die and perform the action if indicated. Skip: the next player’s turn is skipped. Reverse: change the direction of play. Wild draw 1: you may remove 1 tile of your choice from any other players’ bingo card and put it in the center. If there are no tiles on other players’ cards, do nothing. Blank. Do nothing.

Your turn is now over, and the next player goes. When you get 2 adjacent tiles in a row in any direction, you must yell “UNO!”. If you don’t and another player catches you before the next player rolls the dice, then the player who caught you gets to remove any 1 tile from your card. The first player to get 3 in a row must yell “UNO Bingo!” to win. If they don’t and another player catches them, then they get to remove one tile from their card and the game continues.

RULES:
The rules are the same as regular monopoly except for these changes. The object of the game is to have the most Kudos once all the crowns have been collected and each player makes it back to go.

At the start of the game, assemble the obstacles. Slide the big Yeetus onto the post and place one here, here, and here. Place the moving wall on the track and place one here, here, here, and here. Snap the see saw onto its base and place one here and here. Slide the walls back and hammers to the side to reveal the space beneath.

Money is replaced by Kudos. Each player takes five 1000 kudos and one 5000 kudos. Place 6 crowns by the board. Each time a player passes GO, they collect 1 crown. At the end of the game, crowns are worth 10,000 kudos each. Give each player a reference card. Properties are called “Rounds”. Actions start at 1,000 kudos and increase by 1000 kudos or more. If no one bids, then the property stays with the bank. There are no houses or hotels.

On your turn, roll the number and action dice. You may either move then perform the action on the die, or perform the action on the die first, then move. When moving, if you reach an activated obstacle on the board, you must stop on the space right before it. It is blocking your path and you cannot continue forward. The Big Yeetus and Moving wall obstacles have 2 states: activated and deactivated. The big yeetus activated state is like this… and its deactivated state is like this. The moving wall’s activated state is like this… and deactivated state like this. The big yeetus and moving wall start the game deactivated. The see saw is always activated but it does not block your path.

The die actions are:
• Dive: if an activated obstacle blocks your path, move to the space just beyond it then move like normal, ignoring the effects of the space you dove to.
• Grab: move 1 other player’s token 1 space forward or backward, but you cannot move a player onto an activated space big yeetus or moving wall space. The player does not follow the rules of the space they are moved to.
• Kudos: collect 2,000 kudos.
• Red lines: Activate or deactivate any one obstacle.

If you activate an obstacle for a space that a player’s piece is on, then for the big yeetus, knock their piece off the board. For the moving wall, push and bonk their piece off the board. For the see saw, launch their piece off the board. player’s whose pieces were affected in this are placed on the last corner space that player passed, ignoring the rules for that space. Deactivated obstacles function like normal spaces you can land on. The rules for those spaces are:

• Pink: Roll the number die and collect 1000 kudos times the number rolled.
• Green: roll both dice and move again, taking another turn.
• Yellow: collect 2000 kudos from the bank.
• Blue: pay 2000 kudos to the bank.

To get out of jail, you must roll a 6 or pay 5000 kudos. If you don’t roll a 6 by your 3rd turn, then you must pay the 5000. If you can’t afford something, you can sell rounds back to the bank for the price listed on the board. If you still don’t have enough money, then pay all you have but you are not eliminated and you keep playing.

The player who collects the final crown stops on go, even if they would have moved further, and waits for all the other players to make it back to go. Once everyone does, then each player collects rent from the bank for each round they own and 10,000 for each crown. Then, the player with the most kudos, wins!

You are allowed to guess your own answer, but if you do, you do not score any points for it.

Tally up the points on the score pad then the role of leader moves to the next player to the left. The first player to score 25 points, wins!

How to play Roll the Bones

(As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases)

RULES:
The object of the game is to collect all the dice. Give each player 10 dice and one 12-sided “bone” die. At the start of each round in a 4-6 player game, each player must ante any 1 die from their collection into the center of the table, forming a center pot. In a 2-3 player game, players ante 2 dice instead. When a player runs out of dice, they are eliminated from the game. Each time a player is eliminated, increase the ante amount by 1.

There are no turns, all play happens simultaneously. After anteing up, every player rolls one die from their collection. To roll the bone die, you must announce it before everyone rolls, after which, other players may choose to announce a bone die as well or decide not to roll their bone die if they had already announced to roll it, which they must announce as well. If you fail to announce your bone die before everyone rolls, then you automatically lose the round and your bone die goes to the center pot.

The player with the highest number collects the center pot, and all the rolled dice from the other players, and adds them to their collection. If there is a tie, then all players add their dice to the center pot and the tied players ante again. then roll again, with a new die from their collection. Repeat this process until 1 payer has the highest die roll, who then collects the pot and the other rolled die. Each tiebreaker roll can be with any type of die, regardless of what you rolled previously. Each bone die must still be announced.

If, during a tiebreaker, one of the players runs out of dice to roll, then their final die does not go into the pot from the tiebreaker round, but, instead, both tiebreaker players keep their last rolled die and they roll again. The player with multiple dice may still swap to a different die if they want. If the tie is between more than 2 players, then side pots are used. If a player is unable to ante the full amount, then they ante what they can, while retaining 1 die, and the other players ante the remaining amount to a side pot.

Whenever a player is down to their last die, they must keep it. If the player with the one die wins, then they collect all the rolled dice and all the dice in the center pot if they had ante’d to it that round; then the player with 2nd highest roll collects the dice in the side pot.

If the player with 1 die did not ante to the center pot and has the highest roll, then they only collect the rolled dice from the other players. The second highest die would then collect everything else. Otherwise, the player with the highest roll collects all the dice rolled in both the center and side pots.

For a simpler game with younger players, don’t play with side pots, but rather when a player can’t ante the full amount, then all the other players match whatever that player could ante. When a player loses all their dice, they are eliminated from the game and the ante increases by 1. The last player remaining, wins!

RULES:
The object of the game is to stab one another in the back for the most points. Give each player a random character card which they place face up in front of them. Each character card has a unique special ability. Return the remaining character cards to the box. Shuffle the deck and deal cards as follows: 4 for 2 or 3 players, 3 for 4 players, or 2 for 5 or 6 players. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from others. Place the remainder of the deck face down on the table as a draw deck.

Pick a player to go first then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, draw 1 card from the deck then you may choose to play 1 card from your hand, if you want. All the cards say what they do. Misfortune cards are given to your opponents and Fortune cards are given to yourself. Misfortune cards can be negated with a correct Undo card or given to another player with a redirect card. Cards that don’t play next to character cards go to a central discard pile.

Some cards can be played during another player’s turn to immediately to stop or undo a card from being played. Some cards swaps fortune, misfortune, or cards in players’ hands with another player. While other cards can reveal opponents’ hands, cards in the draw deck, or stop a card from being played.

On your turn, you can activate your character’s ability if you want, but you can only activate it once per game. When you do, flip the card over. After you play a card, or choose to play no cards, the next player goes.

The game ends when a player draws the last card and ends their turn or if “The End” card is played without another player undoing it. Each player calculates their points based on the value of all the cards next to their character and the player with the most points wins.

RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. The object of the game is to be the first player to create a union between one of your pieces and your opponent’s king.

Pieces do not capture opponent’s pieces. Instead, they form unions by connecting the pieces together on the same square. Pieces in unions may be moved by both players, however, each player may only move the union piece with the movement ability of the piece they control in the union. Union pieces may not join in union with other pieces and pieces may not leave a union unless the union is taken over.

To take over a union, move a piece that isn’t in a union to a union space and replace your piece in that space with the new one, now immediately move that freed piece to another available space using its normal movement, which may include forming a new union or taking other another union. You can chain together as many take over moves as you want that are available in a single turn, however you may not endlessly chain an infinite loop. You are only allowed to take over a union with your own piece, you may not replace an opponent’s piece.

Pawns can only join a union with a diagonal attack move. If a pawn is returned to its starting 1st or 2nd row, it regains its double step move option. En passant is allowed like normal by creating a union on the passed over space. A pawn already in a union may not perform en passant. Pawns promote like normal. Pawns in unions promote like normal regardless of which player moved them to their farthest row.

The king is not allowed to create new unions, take over existing unions, or partake in a union chain. When you threaten to unite with your opponent’s king on the next turn, whether directly, or through a chain, that king is in “Sako”. Players do not need to inform their opponent of “Sako”. If the threat of union is inevitable, then the king is in “Paco” and they lose. Castling is allowed like normal so long as the King isn’t in Sako, passes through Sako, or ends in Sako.

The first player to unite one of their pieces with their opponent wins. If this is impossible for either player, then the game ends in a draw.

RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. The object of the game is to beat the final level. Hover your mouse over anything to see its description.

The first time you play, your army will consist of a king, a bishop, a rook, and a knight. Once you have discovered enough new pieces, then when starting a new run, you need to select your starting pieces. On the map screen, click on the army icon to rearrange your units starting positions. Click on a map node to begin battle. Click on a unit to select it and click on a highlighted space to move it. Hover over a unit to see how it moves. Hover over a player’s sword icon to see all of that player’s available moves. There is no check or checkmate, capture your opponent’s king to clear the level. In the bottom, there are relics that give you permanent abilities and items that you can consume for a one time use advantage.

Rock obstacles on the map prevent movement. Portals allow you to move between the two in the same relative direction. Bombs blow up every unit on every adjacent space.

There is a gold reward for beating a level. The reward starts at 200 and decreases by 4 after each move. You can use gold to purchase items and upgrades. After winning a level, you then get rewarded based on the type of node you were at. Training grounds allows you to recruit a new unit. If you already have the maximum of 8 units, you will receive 350 gold instead. Armory allows you to upgrade your existing units, but not all units can be upgraded. If you have no available units to upgrade you will receive 350 gold instead. Ruins allows you to gain a relic. The shop allows you to purchase items. The sacrificial obelisks will force you to decide between sacrificing a piece or a relic to get one that is much more powerful.

There is no draw by move repetition or turn limit. If kings are the only pieces left on the board, or the AI decides that it is losing, it will offer you a draw. If you accept it, the level will end and but will not gain any gold or reward. If it is a boss battle, then the level is replayed. Boss battles do not give rewards. If your king is captured, then you lose and must start the run over from the beginning.

You can decrease the difficulty of the AI in the settings. After beating the game for the first time you can increase the difficulty by adjusting the starting settings.

RULES:
The object of the game is to eliminate all the monsters on each floor in the dungeon. Hover over anything to see a description. Each turn you will play cards from your hand to move your hero with the movement of the chess piece played. For a refresher of those piece movements, check out this video.

At the start of each turn, you draw 3 cards and are allowed 2 moves. The number of moves you have is indicated by the yellow symbols below the bottom right of the board. Click a card then the space on the board you want to move to. If you use a card with a lightning bolt symbol, you will gain an extra move and draw 1 card from your deck. The cards remaining in your deck are in the top left. If you run out of cards, then your discard becomes a new deck.

Moving to an enemy space will attack and destroy it. However, some enemies have special abilities that make them harder to kill. If you play a card with a red splash symbol, then after moving, you will attack each adjacent space as indicated by the pattern. Both patterns on a card mean you will attack every adjacent space.

When you have completed your moves your turn ends. If you are unable to complete moves or want to skip moves, click the “end turn” button or press the space bar. At the end of your turn, you discard all the remaining cards in your hand and then take damage as indicated by the red icons on the space you occupy. Each red line indicates 1 heart of damage. A skull indicates that you will take 4 or more damage. If you play any cards with a shield on them, then you will be protected from 1 damage per shield you have until your next turn. After taking damage, if any, all the monsters will move, then it is your turn. You do not take damage at the end of the turn when you win the floor.

Pawns cards are not allowed an initial double-step move, nor en passant. If you are on the top row when you have a pawn in your hand, or if you have 3 pawns in your hand at the same time, then the rightmost pawn in your hand will promote to a queen until played or the end of the floor.

The yellow bag at the top of the screen indicates how much gold you have and everything to the right of it is the loot you will gain after winning the floor. The crystal heals 1 heart, and each yellow nugget is worth 1 gold. After each turn, 1 loot is lost. You also gain 1 gold for each monster you kill unless that monster was spawned from another monster. Gold in your bag is saved until you spend it.

After each floor you get to visit the shop and upgrade your cards by moving your hero to the desired upgrade. A heart upgrade increases your total number of hearts. Move to the stairs to begin the next floor. As you play you can unlock more heroes with different cards and abilities.

Rules
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. Each player rolls a 20-sided die, and the high roll goes first. Reroll on a tie. Before play begins, whoever is going second, rolls two 8-sided dice 5 times. If they do not roll an 8 at least once, then they immediately lose the game. During the game, on your turn, after you move, you and your opponent each roll a 10-sided die and compare the numbers. If you rolled a 9 and your opponent rolled a 0, then you instantly win the game. If your roll is equal to or greater than 5 times your opponent’s roll, or if they rolled a 0 and you rolled a 1 through 8, then promote any one of your pawns to a queen. If you do not have any pawns on the board, then you may add a queen to any of your vacant pawn starting squares. Queens promoted or placed in this way are not taken from the pool of pieces your opponent has captured.

If your roll is equal to or greater than 4 times your opponent’s roll, then your opponent must skip their next turn and you move again. If your opponent is in check when their turn is skipped, then you win the game. If your roll is equal to or greater than 3 times your opponent’s roll, then you may add any piece your opponent has already captured to any starting location for that piece type on your side of the board. Bishops are allowed to be on the same color.

If your roll is greater than your opponents but less than 3 times greater, then you may add any pawn piece your opponent has already captured to any vacant location on your 2nd row. Pawns placed in this way are still allowed their double step move option and en passant is allowed like normal. If your rolls are equal, then nothing happens. If your roll is less than your opponent, then you pick any piece of theirs that you have captured and return it to any of your opponent’s vacant starting squares of the same piece type.

Only one effect maximum may happen after each roll and it must be the one with the highest value. If it is impossible to perform an effect, then that effect is skipped, and nothing happens. If the roll calculation is a fraction, round down. The perspective of the end of turn rolling effect is always from the player who just performed a move. You must perform the action even if you don't want to. Check and checkmate are only calculated after rolling.

When you checkmate your opponent, you each roll a 12-sided die. If they roll a 12 and you roll a 1 then they win the game instead of you. If not, then you win.

(As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases)

RULES:
The rules are the same as regular Phase 10 except for these changes. The object of the game is to move your piece around the board to move past phase 10 first. Place the twist phase cards in the card holder. Place the game board in the center of the table and the card tray in the middle. Place the deck in the card tray and flip over 1 card into each of the other empty sections to form 3 discard piles. Each player picks a colored pawn and places it on the “1” start space. You can stack pawns on top of each other to save space.

At the start of your turn you can draw from the top of the draw deck or any one of the 3 discard piles and you discard to any discard pile of your choice. If you draw the last card from a discard pile then you must discard back onto the empty section of the tray.

When you play a skip, instead of playing it in the discard pile, place it in front of the player you are skipping. Players may only have 1 skip in front of them at a time. When your turn comes and you’re skipped, remove the skip and set it aside, then your turn ends. Shuffle all skips back into the deck at the start of the next hand. If a skip is the first card flipped in a discard pile, then fip over another card on top of it. You are allowed to pick up skips from a discard pile.

You may not create a phase only consisting of wild cards, there must be at least 1 natural card in it.

The phase you are on is indicated by your pieces location on the board. Everyone moves their pawn after each hand as follows: 3 spaces if you “went out” by getting rid of all of your cards. 2 spaces if you completed your phase but did not go out. 1 space if you didn’t complete your phase, Except when you are on the phase 10 space, then you can only advance to win by completing a phase or going out. You are allowed to skip over the phase 10 space by moving 2 or 3 from a space before it.

If you land on a twist space, then after the next hand is dealt, you may either choose to complete one of the 2 phases that are on either side of your twist space on the board, or you can draw a twist phase card. At the end of the next hand, if you don’t make your twist phase, then you must go backwards 1 space. If you do make it, then you move forward 4 spaces and if you went out you move ahead 6 spaces. You do not need to reveal what twist phase you are working on until after you lay it down. If you are doing a phase to the side of a twist phase you are on, then you move like normal.

The first player to move past phase 10 wins. If it is a tie, then the player who went out on the last hand is the winner. If the tie is between two players who lay down but didn’t go out, then the player with the lowest total in their hand wins. Number cards are worth their number, skips are 15, and wilds are 25.

RULES:
This board will teach you how to play chess, or if you already know how to play, it will teach you new skills to improve your game if you want. Setup the board and turn on the unit. Setup the pieces like so, as you normally would, with the white pieces on the blue glowing squares and the black on the green. Touch, or pick up a piece and its available moves will light up on the board. Move a piece to one of these spaces and it will update within the gameboard computer. Return a piece that you just moved back to its previous spot to undo your move. The king will flash red when in check.

Press the settings button, on either side, to change the game settings for that side. The settings are “player assist” and “AI level”. Each notch increases the level for that setting. The player assist will highlight squares in different colors, based on the level, to help assist you finding good moves. Purple always indicates your selected piece, then based on the player assist level, the other meanings of the spaces are: blunder, mistake, inaccuracy, good, excellent, best. The color code of red, blue, and green will change as indicated based on which level you select.

The AI mode allows you to play against a computer. It’s move will highlight in blue indicated which piece you need to move. The glowing logo indicates the computer is calculating a move. The settings notches will increase the AI difficulty. Each notch is a level, and each level is the approximate Elo equivalent of that number multiplied by 100. Green is 1 to 6. Blue is 7 to 12. Purple is 13 to 18. Orange is 19 to 24. And red is 25 to 30.

You can adjust these settings during the middle of a game too for more dynamic play and you can force the computer to do specific moves for you to practice against. The gameboard is equipped to provide up to “player assist level 3”, and “AI level 12” without being connected to the app. Connect your phone to the board through the ChessUp app to increase the notches available for the “player assist” and AI difficulty.

When connected to the app, you can play against other people online and review previously played games. There are also a host of lessons you can take to have the board help teach you concepts and techniques. Playing with player assist will teach you the game too.

When a player is checkmated, the board will make this color pattern. Stalemate is this color pattern. And 3 move repetition is this color pattern. Replace the pieces at any time to their starting locations to start a new game. You can calibrate the board by removing all the pieces then holding down both settings buttons until the board lights turn off and the logo lights up. Once it finishes you can place the pieces back on to play your game.

RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. The object of the game is to capture your opponent’s king, there is no check or checkmate. Layout the board longways between the two players. Each space on the board is considered a square, regardless of its perceived shape. On your 2nd row setup 9 pawns like so. On your first-row setup: rook, knight, bishop, king, bishop, knight, rook. On your bottom-most bonus square, place your queen.

Squares along the edge of the board are not diagonally connected to each other. Squares inside the board are only diagonally connected to the corners of adjacent squares that are not orthogonally adjacent to it. In certain locations, this results in preventing further diagonal movement in a specific direction, while in other cases, it allows for multiple diagonal movement options.

Movement across multiple squares must always be in a straight continuous line, though the perception of that line may curve. A straight line is considered moving across a square to the opposite line, or corner, from where you entered. Moves strung together this way are considered straight, though they may curve across the board.

Colored squares are grouped into sets of 9, with each set having a matching-colored set on the other side of the board, making a pair. Each colored set is conjoined with its pair so that the 2 sets are considered a single set of 9 squares. Any piece to occupy a colored square actually occupies both colored squares in the same set simultaneously. Use the board markers to identify the correct orientation of the sets and add an extra identical piece marker to the square of the other set to indicate this.

A piece beginning its turn on a colored square, can move from either of its conjoined locations on the board. In a single move, a piece may travel through colored squares like it traditionally would, or, it may travel through a colored square’s conjoined location and continue in the same relative direction it was traveling. You may not perform an infinite move nor return to the space that you started on. When a piece on a colored square is captured, remove both copies of it from the board.

Pawns always move orthogonally forward towards their opponent’s side of the board. If a diagonal space is directly in front of it, then it may travel to either of the 2 orthogonally forward spaces or capture forward, right, or left. En passant is allowed like normal. Pawns promote like normal when reaching any of their opponent’s higher rank starting positions.

Castling is allowed like normal by moving the king 2 spaces towards the rook, then the rook to the other side. You may castle even if your king is threatened, and you may castle through a threatened space. Kings may move to a threatened space. The first player to capture their opponent’s king, wins.

RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to have 3 pieces simultaneously attacking their opponent’s king. Lay out the board. Each player takes a set of matching-colored pieces and deck. And places their king on its start square. Each player shuffles their deck and places it face down next to the board. The player with the white pieces goes first, then turns alternate.

On your turn, discard the top card of your deck, then either add that piece to the board by placing it on an empty square that is orthogonally adjacent to any of your pieces already in play, or you may move a piece that is already on the board as indicated by the card.

Pieces move the same as in regular chess, except for these changes, for a refresher of those rules, check out this video. There is no check or checkmate. You may capture pieces like normal, but the king may not move, capture, or be captured. Pawns are not allowed their initial double step move option, therefore, en passant is not allowed. Pawns promote when reaching the other side of the board. Castling is not allowed. You are allowed to move even if your king is attacked.

If, on your turn, you are unable to place a piece or move a piece, then the game ends in a draw. If you run out of cards, flip your discard pile over, without shuffling it, into a new draw deck. After placing or moving a piece, you then count the number of attacks on your opponent’s king. If you have 3 simultaneous attacks, then you win. If both players have 3 simultaneous attacks, then the game ends in a draw.

(As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases)

RULES:
The rules are the same as 3 player chess except for these changes. Set up the pieces in their matching color quadrant. There are 2 teams: the white and brown team, and the blue and orange team. The player with the white pieces goes first, followed by orange, brown, then blue. The game ends once 1 player has been checkmated, with the team that delivered the checkmate, winning. Checkmate happens at the start of the player’s turn who is threatening an opponent’s king. A king may not capture a piece protected by that piece's teammate, even if your teammate could capture it before it's next turn.

You may not capture your teammate’s pieces. Therefore, you do not threaten your teammate’s king and your teammate may castle through a space you could move to. You are allowed to block a check on your teammate, but you may not move a piece so your teammate is in check, even if your teammate could capture that piece before its next turn.

When traveling through the center rosette, the spaces directly opposite each other, as well as their adjacent rosette spaces, are not diagonally or orthogonally connected through the center. This means that Diagonal movement through the center may not continue to the opposite rosette; nor can the king, queen, or knight, when starting out on a rosette, travel to any of these spaces. Here are the knight available moves when starting on a rosette.

Pawns always move away from their own base towards an opponent’s base. They can capture diagonally through the rosette towards either opponent, but, after doing so, they will only be able to advance towards that opponent. It is impossible for a pawn to occupy a space inside their teammate’s 1/4 of the board. A pawns initial double-step move and en passant are allowed like normal.

The first team to checkmate 1 opponent, wins.

Player must include either “hours” or “minutes” when they call out a number. The first to call it out places the tile on the matching spot on their card. If you call it out incorrectly, then the tile stays where it is until another player calls it out. If 2 players call it out simultaneously, then the dealer slides the tile back into the top of the game unit. If no one can match to 1 or more tiles in the tray, then the dealer slides all the tiles back into the game unit and slides it forward for 2 new tiles.

If you check a king before all the premoves have taken place, then the moves will be halted and the player in check will need to address the check before the rest of the premoves can continue. If a piece is unable to make a pre-move, because it was captured unexpectedly for example, then the moves will pause so the player can make a new move. If you checkmate an opponent’s king before all the moves are complete, then the round will end immediately. If you aren’t occupying all the target spaces, then you lose.

RULES:
The object of the game is to have the most points when the last chess token is taken. Lay out the board. Pick a random setup card and set out the chess tokens on the board as indicated. The color of each piece does not matter. The number on each token indicates that token’s point value. Each player takes a gambit token and matching colored deck. Beginning with the oldest player places then proceeding counterclockwise, each player places their gambit on any available start space. The player who places last will move first when the game begins.

Gambits have the movement ability of the card you play. The card options are: Bishop: move any number of spaces diagonally. Rook: move any number of spaces vertically or diagonally. Queen: move any number of spaces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. And Knight: move 2 spaces in 1 direction then 1 space at a right angle to that one. The knight jumps over any pieces in its way while the other pieces slide to their destination and cannot travel through other pieces. Move your gambit to the same space as a chess token to capture it, placing it in front of you. You may not move through or capture another player’s gambit. Only the players’ gambits can move on the board, the chess tokens do not move.

All the players shuffle their decks then draw 5 cards. Each player places 3 cards face down in front of them, one next to the other. Then each player draws 1 card from their own deck. On your turn, flip your leftmost face down card faceup to a discard pile then move your gambit based on the card you revealed. Then place 1 card from your hand face down to the right of your last facedown card. Draw 1 card from your deck then your turn ends. The next player clockwise takes a turn. If your draw deck runs out of cards, shuffle your discard into a new one.

Play continues until the last chess token has been captured then the player with the most points wins. In the event of a tie, then the tied player who had the closest to last turn wins.

On your turn, spin the spinner and take animals as indicated by your spin as indicated by matching color and quantity. Put your arm through the lasso and take an animal. You may only take one animal at a time. The green color means you can take any animal. The 1 through 5 icon means you get to take as many animals as you want from 1 to 5. The blue thief means you get to take one animal from any other player.

When the lasso stops spinning the game ends and the player with the most animals wins. If your hand is caught in the lasso when it stops, then you must give every other player 1 animal and then put the rest back behind the fence.

All players place 1 poo token on the center free star square. Pull off the chicken’s head and insert 5 poo nuggets into the chicken’s body, using the funnel if needed. Replace the head firmly until you head a click. Pick a player to go first, then play moves to the left.

On your turn, hold the legs and wind up the chicken about 8 times, or until the gear feels taut, then set the chicken on the start space in the center of the board, facing in whatever direction you want, then let go. As the chicken walks, poo nuggets will drop out.

Aa the poo lands on the colorful squares, players should match them to their bingo cards and place a poo token on the matching square on their own card. If no player has 5 in a row, then the chicken is reloaded and passed to the next player and they take a turn. This process repeats until 1 player has 5 in a row.
