The players each receive a rack, a sheet from the notepad, and a CODE 777™ card. Each player then takes three tiles placing them on their rack facing away so that the player cannot see the numbers. The numbers on the tiles must be fully visible to all the other players. Each player can now see the numbers of all his opponents but not those in his own rack.

The Question cards and the tiles are shuffled and placed face down in the center of the play area. In turn, each player takes the top question card from the stack, reads it out loud and answers the question asked. The question is about the numbers that the player can see and not about the numbers on his own rack. 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). The player simply counts the tiles indicated by the question and provides the answer to all other players. Each answer gives everyone, except the reader, a bit more information.

If a player thinks that he knows the numbers on his rack, he can guess the solution. One point is awarded for a correct solution. No points are scored for a wrong solution. In both cases the tiles are taken out of the player’s rack, and replaced by three new ones. The first player to score three points is the winner.

CODE 777™ includes:
• 28 tiles
• 23 Question cards
• 5 Racks
• 5 CODE 777™ cards
• Notepad
• Rulebook

“Confusion: Espionage and Deception in the Cold War” takes players back to the early 1960s and the Cold War between the United States and the USSR. Each player takes on the role of their selected nation’s spy agency: the CIA or the KGB. Confusion is a game of deduction and area control, as you determine how to influence your Spies, control the global spy network, and deliver the Top Secret Briefcase to win the game!

At the start of a game of “Confusion”, players aren’t aware of the talents and skills their spies possess! Your opponent can see what your spies can do, but you cannot. Your job as a wise leader is to first deduce exactly how each of your spies move, then employ your knowledge by using each spy for maximum effect.

But be on alert, because your opponent has placed a double-agent in your team of spies!

The first player to take the Top Secret Briefcase from the middle of the board and deliver it to his opponent’s side of the board is the winner!

Confusion: Espionage and Deception in the Cold War™ includes:

• 26 uniquely-designed, two-piece, bakelite-style, “Spy” playing pieces
• 1 bakelite-style “Top Secret Briefcase” playing piece
• 2 dry-erase Spy Notebooks and dry-erase markers for record keeping
• 1 large playing board
• 6 cardboard tokens

Core Worlds is a deck-building card game for 2 – 5 players. The following are the central concepts of Core Worlds:

Central Zone: Throughout the game, new cards are drawn from the five Galactic Decks and placed face up in the Central Zone, the game’s common play area. These cards include new Units and Tactics that the players can draft into their Empires, as well as Worlds that they can invade.

Empire: Each player represents an Empire that begins with a Home World and a Starting Deck. A player’s Empire consists of all of the cards in his hand, draw deck, discard pile, and Warzone (tableau).

Fleet Strength: Each World possesses a Fleet Strength that represents the starships that defend it from attack. A World’s Fleet Strength must be matched in order for that World to be successfully invaded. Many Units possess a Fleet Strength that a player can use to invade a World.

Ground Strength: Each World possesses a Ground Strength that represents the infantry and other ground forces that defend it from surface assault. A World’s Ground Strength must be matched in order for it to be successfully Invaded. Many Units possess a Ground Strength that a player can use to invade a World.

Invasion: In order to add new Worlds to his Empire, a player must launch Invasions. A player performs an Invasion by discarding enough cards from his Warzone to match the Fleet Strength and Ground Strength of the World he is invading.

Warzone: Each player’s Empire includes a Warzone, an area in front of the player where her conquered Worlds are displayed. Players also deploy Units from their hands face up into their Warzones, and later use these Units to invade new Worlds.

In Crude: The Oil Game (a.k.a. McMulti), each player is the CEO of an international energy corporation and can risk drilling for oil, pump crude where they have struck oil, refine the crude oil into gasoline, and sell refined gasoline to the high-demand consumer market. The players also have the option to seek their fortunes by speculating in the oil and gasoline markets, both domestically and internationally.

In addition to allocating areas that they own for drilling, pumping, refining and selling to consumers, random economic events may occur, sending the economy into Recession or Rapid Growth (or even better or worse than that), which shifts the prices of all commodities and equipment up or down based on these economic conditions. News events also affect players by either rewarding or penalizing them for holding too many barrels of their commodities or taxing their facilities.

[BTW, as the CEO of the corporation, make sure you know that your cipher is "Speculation". We're just saying...]

This game was originally published in the USA under the title Crude: The Oil Game, and was widely received as a break-through in euro-style and economic simulating games. It was then republished in an unauthorized version as McMulti without the knowledge of the original Designer. As McMulti, the game garnered even more attention due to its use of *hundreds* of beautiful little plastic pieces to represent the various game elements: oil barrels, gasoline barrels, oil drilling rigs, oil pumps, oil refineries, and gasoline station facilities. This game is certainly is a sight to behold.

The Stronghold Games edition of this great game will include an updated ruleset and an improved economic engine to be created in conjunction with the original designer, James J. St. Laurent. This will hold true to the beauty of both the game’s mechanics as well as the game components used in the unauthorized version.

Legendary game designer, Bruno Faidutti, has created “Lost Temple” as his follow-up to his best-selling game, “Citadels™”. Nine new characters with unique individual skills are at your disposal to help you find the Lost Temple. This is a unique racing game with a balanced mix of bluff, chaos and tactics required to win the game.

Unravel and thwart the plans of your opponents! Quick player turns and a lot of direct player interaction.

Lost Temple can be played with up to eight players – game speed remains high and possibilities remain unlimited – and it’s still great with even just two players!.

As Commanders, the players compete to build the best Outpost on this remote world. They must build and staff Factories to produce resources, which are in turn are used to build additional, more lucrative Factories, as well as to purchase any of the 13 Colony Upgrades as they become available.

The Colony Upgrades provide various advantages ranging from production technologies, resource storage, increased population maximums, and other scientific breakthroughs. These improvements are purchased through auctions, which are highly competitive, since there are fewer Colony Upgrades available than the number of players. There are 3 phases in the game, and with each phase after the first a new set of these improvements are available to bid on.

Each staffed Factory and improvement is worth a certain number of victory points (ranging from 1 VP for an Ore Factory to 20 VPs for a Moon Base).

The Commander that reach 75 victory points gains the title of Outpost Director and wins!

At their disposal, the Colty gang – the meanest bunch of low down dirty dogs in the West – have a roster of weaponry to bring down the lawmen on their tail: .38 Specials, .45 Long Colts, 1866 double barrel Derringers, and even a Gatling gun! Some example cards from the gang”s deck: Cherokee Scout, “Adios, Amigoes!”, “Thanks for yer coffee and eggs, ma”am”, and “Chew on this, Gringo!”

The Colonel player”s objective is to eliminate all the gang members before they can escape across the Mexican border. He can utilize such cards as Buffalo Stampede, Rattlesnake Bite, “I can smell those yellow bellies on the wind”, “He shot my hat clean off!”, Apache Scout, and Rickety Bridge.

The game has an asymmetrical design, with both decks featuring different cards and abilities. Revolver is played using a 5-column system, representing consecutive gunfights in the following battlegrounds: The Bank at Repentance Springs, Whiskey Canyon, Buzzard Point, Rattlesnake Creek, and the 3:15 Express from Rattlesnake Station. Gameplay is quick and bloodthirsty with bandits gunned down frequently, and law-men peppered with lead by the well-placed use of “Fire at will, boys.”

Numerous tricky decisions must be made throughout. For instance, the Colty player could choose to deploy the Jackson Clan during the Whiskey Canyon battle, but the resources that this would require might make it a very risky, but rewarding, play. Similarly, the Colonel McReady player can deploy the Colonel at any time during the conflict – he”s free to play aboard the 3:15 Express Train, but hugely expensive if used at Buzzard Point, for instance. Also, during the final confrontation, Jack Colty can force the train to crash – as a last ditch effort, probably killing some of his own crew in the process – he”s as crazy as popcorn on a hot stove!

Primarily a combat-driven card game, each player must manage his deck of cards effectively to win. In addition to simple, unique abilities, each card also has two values: power and cost. Some simple icons are used to display such things as ”coming-into-play” effects, and if a gringo has ”True Grit”.

Revolver Contains:
- 124 Cards which form the Colonel McReady and Colty Gang Decks
- 16 Character Cards
- 1 “Derail the Train” and 1 “Mexican Border” Cards
- 14 Mexican Border Tokens

Space Cadets is a fun and frantic cooperative game for 3-6 players who take on the roles of Bridge Officers of a Starship. Each officer must accomplish his task in order for the team to successfully complete the mission.

You might be the:

- Helmsman, plotting the ship’s course through asteroid fields and nebulae.
- Engineer, using dominoes to get enough power to each system.
- Weapons Officer, completing puzzles to load the torpedoes and flicking a disc down a track to launch them.
- Shield Officer, using tiles to form poker hands to get the strongest shields.
- Sensor Officer, using your sense of touch to scan and lock on enemy targets.
- Or maybe even the Captain, setting the plan and making sure that everyone stays focused and does their job.

If your crew can work together to accomplish the mission goals you just might make it home in one piece.

In “Survive”, you try to lead your Explorers from the sinking central island of Atlantis to the safety of one of four islands nearby. Your Explorers can get there quickly by boat (if they find one) or more slowly by swimming. But it will be a perilous journey as they must avoid Sea Serpents, Whales, and Sharks! When the volcano on Atlantis explodes, the game is over. The player with the most Explorer points wins!

As compared to its previous versions from other publishers, all of the components for “Survive” have been upgraded to the highest-quality levels, including slotted wood boats to carry the Explorer tokens, as well as Land Tiles of 3 different thicknesses to give Atlantis a 3-D look.
