B0347: The 2010 U.S. National Bootleggers Championship. It's January, 1921. Prohibition has been in effect for a year, and it looks like the 18th Amendment is here to stay. In Bootleggers, players take on the role of enterprising bosses seeking to make a name for themselves in the illegal alcohol trade at the height of the 1920's prohibition era. Deceit, lies, and alliances of convenience are the norm as players attempt to control distribution through money and corruption by muscling in on the competition, paying off the local law authorities, building underground speakeasies, and shipping trucks of "hooch"! Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once. The winner at each table will advance to the final round to play for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 2:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B0645, B0725. Next Session: B0787.
B0348: The 2010 U.S. National Palabra Championship. Palabra is a combination of words, poker and rummy - guaranteed to "release your mental endorphins." Score by forming a word, a straight (an alphabetical sequence of 3 cards), a flush (5 cards in one color/suit), building on a prior word or straight, or present 6 or 7 vowels. Because of many double and triple multiplier cards, which multiply upon each other, and "color-locking" (which also doubles the score), a small word or straight can be multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, etc., and be worth 200 points or more! Stuck with a "Q," an "X," or a "Z?" Don't make a word. Put them in a straight or a flush. Did your opponent just make a 400 point combination? Don't fret. Cancel it with the "joker." Or steal any part of it for yourself. Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once. The winner at each table will advance to the final round to play for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided.

Positive points are won by taking any other card not in your 'pain' suit, however each of these cards is only worth a single point. Players need not follow suit if they don't wish to, however every card not in the suit led (except for the precious zeros) is considered a trump card, with the highest, earliest played trump card taking the trick.

To win the game, you must pick the same inkblot as each other player at least once, and you must be the only one to pick an inkblot at least once.

B0597: Techno Witches. In this Rio Grande game, Heinrich Glumpler tackles witches - but not the kind of witches that are known to most, that is, wrinkled old crones that fly about on dusty broomsticks. His new generation of witches are totally hip and savvy, and they use high-tech vacuum cleaners to take to the skies. The complicated magical duster technology makes special demands of its pilots. In the good old days, you could simply sit on your broomstick and fly off. But now, the flight pattern of the duster must first be properly programmed into the machine. No surprise then, that witches who aren't yet completely familiar with the new technology often end up on the wrong track while programming their flight routes.

The simple rules make it easy to get started with this game by Klaus-Jˆºrgen Wrede, one in which a lot of tactical know-how is required.

STRONGHOLD GAMES brings you CODE 777, the classic code-cracking game back in a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition for its first U.S. National Championship at DEXCON 13! Crack your code first! You can see your opponents' codes but not your own. Using logic based on answers to questions, try to deduce which three numbers are hidden in front of you. Players take turns reading a Question Card aloud, and answering the question on the card. For example, a question may be, "Do you see more blue sevens or more sevens of a different color?" The answer may be "More blue" or "More of a different color" or "Just as many" (this is the answer if there are the same numbers of sevens or if there are no sevens at all). Each answer gives everyone, except the reader, a bit more information. Once you're reasonably sure, then you can take a guess’Ķbut if you're wrong, you start over with a fresh set of tiles.

Cards are bought individually and allow for powerful combos which you need in order to win the game. At the end of the 17th century, Macao, the mysterious port city on the southern coast of China, is a Portuguese trading post in the Far East. The players take on the role of energetic and daring adventurers. Many exciting tasks and challenges await the players, whether they are a captain, governor, craftsman or scholar.

B0630: Malarkey. In this game, an "imponderable" question is asked of all the players (such as, "Why do traffic lights have those three colors in that order" or "Where did the word 'hijinx' come from"). Then secret cards are given to each player, only one of which has the answer. The other cards instruct the players to "bluff", and they then have only a few moments to come up with a lie that sounds good. In turn, the players all give their answers, and then everyone votes on who they believe had the correct one. You get points if you guess the right answer, but more points for how many people vote for you. The fun comes from players spinning long yarns and tall tales, all while sounding like they're a scholar on the subject. Of course, the right answer often sounds the silliest of them all...

Beginners Welcome; Serious, All Ages.

B0654: Acquire. This Sid Sackson classic has taken many different forms over the years depending on the publisher. Each player strategically invests in businesses, trying to retain a majority of stock. As the businesses grow with tile placements, they also start merging, giving the majority stockholders of the acquired business sizable bonuses, which can then be used to reinvest into other chains. All of the investors in the acquired company can then cash in their stocks for current value or trade them 2-for-1 for shares of the newer, larger business. The game is a race to acquire the greatest wealth. Friday, 8:00PM - 10:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B0658: FITS (Fill In The Spaces). FITS (Fill In The Spaces) is essentially a multi-player Tetris. Each player has an inclined board on which they place different polyominoes - like Blokus pieces, with three, four, or five squares. Cards are drawn from a pile to tell the players which piece to take. The pieces may be rotated and reversed before they slide down the inclined area to dock to other gaming pieces, but unlike Tetris cannot be slid horizontally once dropped. Scoring is based on quantity and configuration of squares left uncovered. Unlike original Tetris there is no time pressure but like Tetris every player is engaged with his own board. Friday, 8:00PM - 10:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.
B0659: Magnet X. The rules could not be more simple, but mastery of the game can take a lifetime. Take one of the highly magnetic stones from the pile, and place it on the board, the next player does the same. If your stone, or any other stone on the field connects, falls off, or flies away from the board, you're out. The last player in the game wins. Easily one of the most addictive games to come out in a long time. Friday, 8:00PM - 10:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.
B0660: Pictureka!. Pictureka! is a new kind of game, both in mechanic as in artwork. The mechanic is invigorating with its large square gaming tiles. The game board is composed of 3 by 3 game tiles, so the game board on which is played is a huge square of 63 cm x 63 cm. This is large enough for several players to be able to play the game at the same time. The game board is "alive", it is not a static board as the tiles are flipped over, turned and moved. So it is not possible to memory map the board. The mechanic of an ever changing board makes it not only fun; also the challenge is kept into the game all the time. Friday, 8:00PM - 10:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B0692: Shark. Shark is a stock-trading game slightly reminiscent of Acquire, in that abstract plays on the game board determine the share values of the various companies. Each player may buy and sell shares both before and after his turn, and during his turn rolls dice to determine which company he can affect and in what region he can place that company's marker. Placing next to another of that company's markers increases the company's share price, which pays out in two ways: first, for placing the marker, the player gets money equal to the new price, and secondly, all players get paid the amount of the increase, multiplied by the number of shares each of them owns. This wealth is not without risks, though, as placing in a way that brings two companies' marker-groups adjacent to each other causes the smaller group to be removed from the board, decreasing that company's share price accordingly - and all players must pay the amount of the decrease, again multiplied by the number of shares they hold in that company!

B0693: Ta Yu. In Ta Yu, a sumptuously produced game of connections, one side tries to extend from the starting tile in the center to reach the western and eastern edges of the board while the opposing side tries to reach the northern and southern edges. On your turn you simply draw a tile and decide where to place it, extending the network of tiles already on the board. Interestingly, you need to play both offense and defense and will often have to decide to which use to put a particular tile. Friday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided.

B1020: Igel Argern. Loosely translated as "Hedgehogs in a Hurry", this game gives players several wooden disks (the hedgehogs) to place in one of six rows.
