Reimplements King's Ransom

King's Ransom Deluxe, from designer Frank Zazanis II, is a two-player strategy card game pitting royal rivals against each other. Using the basic mechanics of Chess, there's an additional layer of strategy due to each card entering play hidden from the opposing player's view.

On their turn, each player flips a face-down card so it is face up, and then moves any face-up card. He or she then announces check, if applicable. If no check is announced, then a card is placed face down, and a new card is drawn from the deck. If you can set traps and lure your opponent into making mistakes, you might be able to snatch their King and ransom him for control of the kingdom!

This deluxe version contains all the cards in the original King's Ransom game, plus an additional 10 new piece types, 110 new cards (for a total of 160), and instructions for a four-player variation.

Journey Stones is a two player viking themed strategy game where players attempt to capture 7 stones from their opponent. Each side moves, captures, and stacks stones while maneuvering them to victory. Journey Stones is a chess/checkers style game with alternating turns of 1 action per player.

Both sides set their pieces up mirroring each other on the back 2 ranks of their sides

The Warrior Stone moves and captures vertically and horizontally. Each stone moves 1 space at a time alone

The Journey Stone moves and captures diagonally. Each stone moves 1 space at a time alone.

Capturing

To capture a stone move your stone to the space the enemy stone is on, then remove the enemy piece from the arena and place it next to you so your opponent can see how many stones you have captured. In the above picture the Stone Warrior Stone is Capturing a Wood Journey Stone. (remember if one player captures 7 total enemy stones they declare Hurlov (victory).

Stacking
Stacking is the ability to place one of your pieces atop another of your pieces. This makes a new piece that moves as the top piece dictates and may move upto the amount of pieces in the stack. In the above picture the Stone Warrior Stacks onto the Stone Journey Stone and creates a Warrior that can move and capture 1 or 2 spaces. If a stacked piece captures a piece it must stop on the space it captures that piece on. A Stack may not be any higher than 4 pieces. 

Note: A stacked piece may not be unstacked and is worth the number of pieces in the stack so if it is captured your opponent scores a capture for each piece. Example: 3 piece stack = 3 points when it is captured. ]]>
