European Union: The Board Game is a game for 3 to 7 players (or 3 to 5 players for the basic version). Each player takes the role of the leader of a European political party; each party has different policy preferences and special abilities. Players have to try to get the proposals that are most advantageous to them approved, whilst securing the maximum number of influence points that they can in each round. The game is played over three rounds, which simulates the increased membership of the European Union over time. The player with the highest number of influence-points at the end of the game wins.

During the game, each player uses their influence points to secure voting powers by bidding for Member States in the Council of the European Union (the Council) and Members of the European Parliament (MEP) (the Parliament), if playing the advanced version. The party with the highest bid also becomes the President of that institution, i.e., when bidding for the Member States in the Council, the highest bidder becomes the President of the Council. The President is a powerful figure with the ability to set the agenda for each round, chair discussions, and call votes.

Players can lobby other parties (players) to lend their support or help block proposals, taking into consideration their preferred policies and special abilities. Alliances can also be formed to further a player's objectives. Players can make deals using influence points or verbal commitments at any time during the game. However, the President Card, Party Cards, Member State Cards, and MEP Cards may not be transferred or traded.

Note: This is Big Fun Game version in Chinese.  The game itself is language independent. Below is the translated description.


Cat Hiding is a cute memory game. Players are given a hand of 3 cards. Each card has 3 cat pictures such as the face, tail or paws. A 4x4 grid of matching cards of each cat picture are placed face down. The active player plays a card from their hand and then flips 3 cards in the grid face up. If they match the card from their hand they score it. They may then attempt to match a second card from their hand etc.

Although this appears to be a Japanese game, it is a Taiwanese production. ]]> Availability_Out of Stock BGG-Set BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 500 Category_Children Category_Family Children's Games Children-Games Google-True INV-0-L INV-C Non-TCG Players Maximum_5 Players Players Minimum_2 Players Playtime Maximum_15 Minutes Playtime Minimum_15 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Restock-20230112_Full_Restock Restock-20240526-Long Source_Import Games Year Published_2010s https://www.booyakajuice.com/products/230348757 Default Title 14.95 100302 565
