Pattern Recognition

Stones of Fate

You hold in your hands the Stones of Fate. Before you, hidden from your view, are the cards that will determine your destiny. Armed with your skill, memory, and a bit of luck, you move your stones and trigger powers in the cards. You will bring fortune for yourself and tragedy to your foes.

In the game Stones of Fate, you have three actions from which to choose:

Peek at a card
Move a stone
Flip a card

Use these actions wisely to strategically position your stones and flip the cards to activate them at just the right time and you can win the card and the points that come with it. Take advantage of special effects on cards that are triggered when you win or flip to give yourself and advantage or to thwart your opponents' plans.

Read My List!

Choose a level, listen to a list, remember what you heard, then think quick! Win points for naming things missing from the list, identifying their category, or manage not to be the first player to go out of the lightning round. Guess incorrectly, get stumped, or name something that was on the list and you're out!

JAB: Realtime Boxing

JAB is a skill-centric strategic boxing card game. In JAB, you get direct control over your boxer's fists, providing an experience as close as possible to real boxing without getting punched in the face. JAB is played in real-time, meaning there are no turns.

Winning the game

To win the game, get a knockout by throwing staggering haymakers at your opponent until he eats canvas, or strategically win more rounds than your opponent by impressing the judges with your beautiful technique.

How is JAB different?

JAB attempts to innovate the real-time genre by challenging a player to be constantly making decisions, rather than simply recognizing patterns or performing calculations. The game also measures your ability to calmly manage your focus in a chaotic situation.

Potion Explosion

Dear students, it's time for the final exams of the Potions class! The rules are always the same: Take an ingredient marble from the dispenser and watch the others fall. If you connect marbles of the same color, they explode and you can take them, too! Complete your potions using the marbles you collect, and drink them to unleash their magical power. Remember, though, that to win the Student of the Year award, being quick won't be enough: you'll also need to brew the most valuable potions in Potion Explosion!

Blink

The two-minute-long, two-player card game Blink bills itself as the fastest game in the world. Without taking turns, players race to empty their hands by matching the color, shape, or number of symbols on their cards in hand to the top card of the two discard piles in the center of the table. As soon as a player lays down one card, they can draw another, up to the hand size of three cards. If a player can't play, they can discard one card, then draw another. The first player to empty their hand and draw pile wins.

The rulebook includes variants for three- and four-player games.

Blink: Bible Edition is the same game with Christian faith icons.
