Party Game

GiftTRAP won a special Spiel des Jahres prize in 2009, and was voted "Best Party Game of the Year" by Games Magazine in 2008, proving that while buying real gifts can be traumatic, giving virtual gifts to find out how people really feel is heaps of fun. Be prepared for some surprises! It's a conversation starter that will get you and your friends talking about things that matter. Unlike other party games you don't need skills in drawing, acting or trivia, so it works well when you have a crowd of mixed ages/skills. GiftTRAP is played over a series of rounds. Each round has the following steps: DEAL - deal random gifts from one of the 5 packs of gifts. Packs have similar monetary value. SHOP - think about how to match these gifts to the players. GIVE - give one of these gifts to each player (using gift tokens). GET - choose which gifts you want yourself (using get tokens: Ok, Good, Great & No Way). REVEAL - show people what you wanted and see what you were given by each player. SCORE - the giver and the receiver score for each gift (the giver gets GIVING points, the receiver gets GETTING points). The first to reach the end of both the Giving and Getting tracks is the winner.

Cranium bills itself as the "whole-brain" game. It's a party game that borrows from a host of other popular party games of recent times. Players have to successfully complete activities in each of four sections to win: In
- Creative Cat : A player must clue a word to his or her teammates by drawing it, sculpting it in clay, or drawing it with his or her eyes closed.
- Data Head : A variety of trivia questions.
- Word Worm : Players unscramble words, spell challenging words, guess definitions, identify words with letters left out, or spell words backwords.
- Star Performer : players must whistle a song, impersonate a celebrity, or act out a clue.

Cranium has elements similar to those of Pictionary, Charades, Trivial Pursuit, Celebrities, Huggermugger, Claymania, etc.

NOTE: Unfortunately, Cranium had to be removed due to the clay being a poor fit for the library. We were having issues with people sticking the clay to tables, other games, and food. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The leader of the coven is dead and the quest is on for between 2 to 10 players to be the vampire who adds the most to their bloodline and becomes the new leader. Fast playing card game using the vampire genre. Beautiful cards, rules, and board brings the game to life.

Players add to their bloodline by staying out on the hunt, but the longer you stay out the better the possibility of daylight, and if your out and the sun comes up then you could lose it all. Use your powers to best your opponents, or to help them, your choice.

Each player takes a character card which has variable powers on them. Cards are flipped from the play deck one at a time, the possibilities are a daylight card which raises the possibility of sunrise, a card which increases a characters bloodline, a slayer card which injures the character or reduces the bloodline, etc. Before each card flip players must decide whether to stay on the hunt with the possibility of more increase or loss to their bloodline, or getting out and holding their bloodline gains for that round. If players stay in and a daylight card is drawn that brings the sun up then any players still in the round lose all of their gains for that round. A number of rounds are played depending on the number of players. Players can play their powers depending on the situation which can help them and other players or hurt other players.

The game plays in 30-60 minutes. Includes box, mounted board, rules, cards, and counters.

In TECH-BUBBLE, 3 to 6 players ride the technology market roller coaster at the turn of the 21st century as it surges and eventually plunges. The players represent various market sectors during the "Dot.Com Bubble". They make decisions to stay in the market and ride out the surge or get out before the bubble bursts. Timing and nerves of steel are everything. And along the way players can affect each other's investments and decisions by crafty play.

Tadaaam! is a revision and repackaging by Cédrick Caumont and Thomas Provoost of the earlier Monstermaler. The most obvious change is that Tadaaam! comes in a big box (Monstermaler was just a pad of paper), with cards to suggest people, and now also objects and animals, that players independently draw right and left halves of with pens on wipe-clean boards to make one recognisable picture. The pictures are then revealed and the players guess what those they didn't draw are intended to be.

Along with revisions to the basic rules there are now easy, normal, difficult and character categories of things to draw and a spinner which adds one of six additional challenges to drawing: with the ear on the table, blind under the table, with the "wrong" hand, without the thumb, et cetera…
