 New Game
Miaui
Z-Man Games

As the tide changes on the island of Miaui (MEOW-ee), it’s
time for the fishing festival, a competition where the most skilled divers try
to bring back the most valuable fish from the lagoon for the evening feast. All
kinds of fish are served at the feast, but beware the gooey jellyfish and the
thieving seagulls! 

Miaui is a cute family card game for 3 to 6 players that is played over 12 rounds. The
lagoon’s fish are stocked at the start of each round.
 Each
player chooses one diver card from their hand and places it face down near the
board. The numbers on the cards show how deep a player is diving that round; a
“1” is a very shallow dive, while a “12” is the deepest dive you can do.
 When
everyone has chosen a card, all players flip their cards face up to reveal how
deep they chose to dive. 
The
diver card with the highest number wins the deepest catch from the lagoon and discards their diver card
face down. Resolve the remaining played diver cards in the same manner. Each round is played in the same manner with the final card left in your hand being played on the last round
.
The player with the most points wins.
 

Included in the lagoon’s stock of fish are jellyfish and seagulls. Players must be careful to avoid these.  Jellyfish are quite tough and chewy; they are worth either −10 or −15 points. However, if a player can accumulate 3 of them they can then discard them from pile of fish.  Seagulls shadow divers to steal their fish. A player must discard the fish at the top of their fish pile when they get a seagull.

 New Game
Just One
Repos Productions
Just One is a cooperative party game for 3 to 7 players that is quick to learn.  Players will work together to discover as many mystery words as possible.  The active player will draw a card with 5 words listed on it, not look at the list of words, and show the list side to the other players. The active player will then choose a number from 1 to 5 – – the word corresponding with that number will be the word that the other players must try to get the active player to guess. The other players secretly write a clue on their easel.  After everyone has written their clues and without showing the active player, these players compare their clues.  Any identical clues will be erased and not shown to the active player. The remaining clues are then shown to the active player to see if the chosen word can be guessed.
