Body-building the Baron's way in Frankenstein's Bodies, a game in which players are surgeons competing to impress Frankenstein with the creations they make from the body parts available. Players have two laboratory benches on which to work and aim to collect body parts (cards) matched in terms of gender and serum color. The bodies that are the most complete and most matched gain bonus points, and the player with the highest total wins.

Body parts can be stolen from other players by using surgery cards, but at the risk of becoming infected. Master surgeons can be employed to prevent surgery and gain extra bonuses. Frankenstein's Bodies is a highly interactive game of competitive surgery.

The deck is totally language independent and with only 8 types of cards in play is the first of YAY Games '2 Turns to Learn' games.

In April 2015 'Frankenstein's Bodies' won the prestigious Griffie Award for Best Board Game 2015. The Griffie's are award by Scotland's longest running gaming and fantasy convention Conpulsion and is voted for by attendees.

Winner of the UK GAMES EXPO Award for BEST ABSTRACT GAME 2017

1864, Ominus Valley, Egypt — a hoard of 6,000-year-old game cubes is found. No one knows how to play this mysterious game — until now when this ancient game is reborn as Ominoes.

In this abstract strategy/tactical game, 2-4 players want to collect their favored gods — Horus, Ra, Apep, and Khepri — in groups to earn points. They do this by rolling custom dice that both determine actions and are placed on the game board to count as a piece of the player's color. On a turn, the active player does the following:


Roll: Take a die and roll it.
Move: Move a die on the board that matches the rolled color exactly three spaces.
Place: Placing the die just rolled on the board, possibly scoring a group.


The dice have four faces matching the players colors, with unused colors in a two- or three-player game being scorable by anyone. The other two faces — "Yay-Ra" and "Ominotep" — allow the player to move or reroll any die, respectively, and they count as wild once on the board. Groups of four (or more) dice of a color are scored immediately and give their player points equal to their number. The first player to 13 points (or 21 points in a two-player game)wins!

Quick to learn, easy to play but with layers of light tactics. Ominoes is 15 minutes of play.

Grab your buckets and spades and build the best sandcastles on the beach.

In this light and simple but strategic game, you can add to sandcastles with bucket, crab and seagull cards. You can steal sandcastle parts from other players. And when your sandcastle is complete, you can earn bonus points as well as the points for the sandcastle you have built — but be warned that others will be aiming to grab bits of your sandcastle and trying to steal your bonuses.

Sandcastles plays 3-7 players as well as having a two-player variant and a solo game.

Sandcastles is another of YAY Games '2 Turns to Learn' games.

In April 2016 'Sandcastles' won the prestigious Griffie Award for Best Card Game 2016. This award is voted on by attendees at Scotland's longest running fantasy and gaming convention. Last year YAY Games won Best Board Game for 'Frankenstein's Bodies'.
