Chili Mafia

Board Game Overview

Things are heating up in the Chili world, and you have all been assembled to come together to stop the reign of terror of the Chili Mafiosos. However, it’s not so easy to smooth over tensions, and despite holding a peace summit in Mexico, no one’s particularly interested in listening. That leaves one choice – you have to form your own chili gangs, overpower the Chili Mafiosos, and make them listen! In this fun set collection game, you’ll be forming gangs of different kinds of chilis – or all the same – using action cards to your advantage, and becoming more powerful than any of your opponents. Mafiosos don’t like ties, after all.

Cheating Moth

Board Game Overview

No cheating? No way! Cheating Moth is the easy and fun card game that requires you to cheat to get ahead. Everyone starts with a hand of 8 cards, and your goal is to get rid of them. The official way is to discard them one at a time on the discard pile, but only if the number is 1 value higher or lower than the previous number which is really hard to do. But! You can also cheat to get rid of your cards – drop them on the floor, slip them up your sleeve, do a magic trick with them, anything you can think of as long as you don’t get caught by the Guard Bug – which is assigned to the oldest player at the beginning of the game. If you get caught, you have to draw another card and become the new Guard Bug, who can’t cheat! Be sly, be smart, and be the best cheating moth.

Sequence

Sequence is a board and card game. The board shows all the cards (except for the Jacks) of two (2) standard 52-card decks, laid in a 10 x 10 pattern. The four corners are free spaces and count for all players equally.

The players compete to create rows, columns or diagonals of 5 connected checkers placed on the cards that the player has laid down. Two-eyed Jacks are wild, while one-eyed Jacks allow an opponent’s checker to be removed. The game ends when someone has reached a specified number of connections.
