The young magicians are back in Der geheimnisvolle Spiegel (The Mysterious Mirror), exploring a house and seeing what they can find when they look in the mirror. Even better, they want to get their fellow magicians to guess the shapes of what they draw in the mirror!
To set up, players each take a magician tile and slide it into the bottom of one of the tile ladders; they also shuffle the 46 "magic symbol" tiles, each of which shows a line drawing of a familiar item, e.g., candle, butterfly, arrow, spider's web, etc.
The starting player draws a tile, takes the magic wand, and "draws" the image seen on this tile onto the back of the large "mysterious mirror" with the light of the wand. The other players try to guess the image drawn; the first player to do so gets to draw with the wand next, while the previous drawer places that tile into the bottom of her tile ladder. Players keep taking turns this way until someone pops her magician tile out of the top of the ladder, winning the game.
With two players, Der geheimnisvolle Spiegel is a co-operative game, with players taking turns drawing an image that the other player must guess. If a player draws three times and her fellow magician still can't guess, then the tile is placed into a third tile ladder. If this ladder fills before one of the magician's ladders, then they both lose the game.

In Pick Nick, each player has two or three insects that they want to move out of the garden to safety. Nick the bird, however, has other plans and will peck at exposed insects to send them scurrying back to the starting line.
To set up, players takes two insects for a short game and three for a longer game; place the leaves into their holders and set them next to the game board so that they cover certain spaces. On a turn, a player rolls the die, then adds one of his insects to the movement track. Once all of a player's insects are on the track, he moves any one of his choice on his turn based on the die roll. If he rolls Nick, he makes the bird pick up one of the insect tokens with his beak, ideally catching one of the opponents! That player must start over with that token. Whoever reaches the end of the track with all of his insects first wins.

Only a dirty pig is a happy pig!
In Drecksau, each player has 3-5 clean pigs in front of him and three cards in hand. Each turn one card is played. By playing a mud card, one pig can be sent into the mud. The pig card is flipped over to show a dirty pig on the back. Rain cards clean all pigs, even your own! Barn cards protect pigs from the rain, while lightning cards destroy barns – but lightning rod cards protect barns from lightning cards. Farmer cards can be sent to dirty pigs: the farmer likes clean pigs... Pigs in a barn that are protected with a lock card are safe from the farmer. The first player who has dirtied all of his pigs wins!
