	Title	Price	Description
	Agricola 1-5 players 2 hours 12+	$70.00	In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats?
	Alhambra 2-6 players 1 hour 8+	$39.95	In Alhambra, players are acquiring buildings to be placed within their Alhambra complex. On a player's turn, a player may take money from the open money market, purchase a building from the building market, or engage in construction and re-construction projects with buildings that have been placed in the player's reserve. The game rewards efficiency, as when a player purchases a building from the market for the exact amount of money, the player may take another turn.
	Amuse Amaze 2-6 players 40 minutes any age	$24.99	Players form words by using the letter tiles and the letters printed on the board, moving their pawn from the first letter in their word, through each adjacent letter in turn, to the last letter.
	Aquarius 2-5 players 20 minutes 5+	$15.00	The groovy card game that's kind of like dominoes (only better!) Aquarius features three types of cards: Elements, Goals, and Actions. Element cards are played kind of like dominoes, with each player trying to win by connecting seven panels of one particular element. Goal cards determine which element each player is going after, and Action cards allow players to shake up the action in five different ways. The game is fast, fun, colorful, and easy to learn.
	Bacchus' Banquet 3-5 players 30 minutes any age	$20.00	As a player, you are one of the nine “honored” guests—each with his or her own secret objective. You might be a glutton who is only there for the food and wine. You might be an avaricious opportunist longing for the presents that are often bestowed. You might be a conspirator in one of the many plots to kidnap or assassinate the Emperor. You might even be Caligula himself, exploiting the all-too-human foibles of his groveling subjects.
	Bohnanza 2-7 players 45 minutes 8+	$19.95	As card games go, this one is quite revolutionary. Perhaps its oddest feature is that you cannot rearrange your hand, as you need to play the cards in the order that you draw them. The cards are colorful depictions of beans in various descriptive poses, and the object is to make coins by planting fields (sets) of these beans and then harvesting them. To help players match their cards up, the game features extensive trading and deal making.
	British Rails 2-6 players 3 hours 12+	$38.00	"British Rails is the game of railroad construction and operation across the narrow confines of the home of railroading, Great Britain. Build your railroads across the mountain-covered islands and haul freight to make your fortune!"

Players take turns trying to establish colonies. A player does not need to have colonies in all of the systems, just colonies on five planets outside his or her home system. The players must use force, cunning, and diplomacy to ensure their victory.
	Diplomacy 2-7 players 6 hours 14+	$30.00	This is a classic game of pure negotiation.Players represent one of the seven "Great Powers of Europe" in the years prior to World War I. Play begins in the Spring of 1901, and players make both Spring and Fall moves each year. There are only two kinds of military units: armies and fleets. On any given turn, each of your military units has limited options. Players instruct each of their units by writing a set of "orders." The outcome of each turn is determined by the rules of the game. There are no dice rolls or other elements of chance. With its incredibly simplistic movement mechanics fused to a significant negotiation element, this system is highly respected by many a gamer.
	Dominion 2-4 players 30 minutes 8+	$45.95	In Dominion, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can "buy" as they can afford them.

Cows of course are Keepers because for Humans and Martians alike, they're good eating. There are actually two Cow Keepers in the game; if you have them both you can win with the Goal "Two All-Beef Earthlings."
	- Monty Python Fluxx 2-6 players 15 minutes 8+	$20.00	Monty Python themed version of Fluxx. The random and chaotic nature of the Fluxx engine makes it a perfect vehicle for the crazy world of Monty Python! The card mix focuses on Holy Grail with other references added from Flying Circus and other Python material.
	- Zombie Fluxx 2-6 players 15 minutes 8+	$16.00	Zombie Fluxx is the zombie uprising card game with ever-changing rules. Like Fluxx, players start off with the basic rules: draw 1, play 1.

After three rounds, the highest total score takes the day.

	Power Grid 2-6 players 2 hours 12+	$44.95	The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. Players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities.

There's a four-piece modular board that forms a large room with walls spread around the board. There are also color-coded targets on boards. Placed on top of the surface are four robots. The idea for each turn/puzzle is to get the like-colored robot to randomly selected target.

If a straight of seven cards is led, then only straights of seven cards, etc. The last player out gives all the cards he won to the player who exited first, and the last player's unplayed cards are handed to the opposite team. Fives, Tens and Kings are worth points, with each hand worth one hundred points (without bonuses). The first team to 1000 points wins.
	Ticket to Ride 2-5 players 45 minutes 8+	$50.00	With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn.

Leaders can also be replaced within a civilization through internal conflicts.
	Too Many Cooks 2-5 players 30 minutes 10+	$9.99	This is sort of a trick-taking game, but instead of everybody playing one card and seeing which one wins the trick, everybody takes turns adding cards until the total adds up to 10 or more and the player who added that card takes the whole pile. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the player's goal for that particular round! There are five rounds in the game and five different goals to be fulfilled. Since the game is always exactly five rounds, it lasts a good dependable half an hour every time.
