    DaoDao  BUY NOW  $14.98

    Simple to the eye, but perhaps a lifetime in mastering, Dao is a pure game of strategy that plays out with opposing sets of four pieces on a 4 X 4 playing square. At each turn, move any one piece in any direction of your choosing—vertically, horizontally, or diagonally—as far as you can go until you reach the end of a playing square or another play piece. Win by arranging your pieces in a vertical or horizontal line, by occupying a 2 x 2 square, by occupying all four corners, or by becoming trapped in any one corner by three of your opponent’s pieces. This elegant, endlessly challenging game is great for all ages 8 and up, and includes game mat, 8 play pieces and drawstring sack, instructions, storage tube, and game tin.


    Golden DeuceGolden Deuce  BUY NOW  $21.95 $16.95    SAVE $5.00 !   

    Based on the ancient Chinese game of Choi Dai Di (similar to Pusoy Dos in the Philippines), the classic trick-taking climbing game that requires cunning wit and strategy, Golden Deuce steps up the game by changing the odds with a unique 60 card deck, while providing board game action for a new twist on this addictive strategy game. The fun starts with a round of the Golden Deuce card game - lay down higher tricks than the other players for control of the lead. Be the first player to lay down all the cards in your hand, and you gain points for all the cards left in the other players' hands. Don't be stuck with too many cards, or you'll end up paying out points to every other player. The strategy doesn't stop at the end of the card game. Moving to the game board, each player strategically moves any of their pawns the number of spaces to match the points earned in the card game round. But beware! Moving too many pawns too quickly may leave you unable to collect the points you deserve. Once all players have moved, it's time for another card game round, and the fun starts again. With special spaces to send you back, move you forward, or "warp" your pawn to another space on the board, it's a race to the finish to win the game!

    SamuraiSamurai  BUY NOW  $39.99 $31.99    SAVE $8.00 !   

    An award-winning game from Reiner Knizia. To win this game, players must skillfully position their forces to gain the majority surrounding the cities and village to capture the figures. There are three Samurai forces: peasants, clergy and nobility. The way to power leads through these three: peasants, represented by rice fields, clergy, represented by Buddhas and nobility, represented by high helmets. To become a Samurai, one has to be supported by one of these forces and have strong connections to the other two. Each player has an identical force and they deploy their forces to the spaces around the power figures. When a figure is surrounded, it is captured by the player with the strongest sympathetic force. To win, a player must gain dominance in one of the powers while getting better support from the other powers than the other players.
