Beer & Bread – A 2-player game about brewing and baking what the title says. It has an interesting game play with multi-use cards, alternating rounds with fruitful years and dry years, and swapping hands of cards. Over a 6-year period, players will harvest resources: water, hops, barley, wheat and rye. With those resources they will brew some beer and bake some bread. They will need to do both because the score at the end of the game is the lower point total of either the beer or the bread. 2-player – – 30 to 45 minutes game play

Use numerous card interactions to play your strategy. – – 3 to 6 players – – 45 minutes game play
Mandala Stones – An abstract game of pattern building, set collection, and layering. Players will use an artist to collect colorful stones in towers from a central board to place on their player board for scoring. On their turn a player will either pick stones or score stones. To pick, move an artist to a new location, then collect all stones adjacent to this artist that (1) bear the same pattern as that artist and (2) are not adjacent to another artist. Choose one of these stones to be first in a tower, then stack the other collected stones on top of this one, then place this tower on an empty space on your player board. To score, you will remove stones from your board. There are several conditions for scoring. Additionally, each player will have one or two secret end-game scoring objective cards. – – 2 to 4 players – – 30 minutes game play
