OBJECT:
First player to advance three (3) pawns into his win zone

PLAY:

(the dice rolling for all practical purposes follows standard “yahtzee” format)
Player rolls all five dice, then may set aside any of them to establish any of the NINE zones (chance, 1, 2, 3, Kniffell, 4, 5, 6, straights)
Player may set aside, pick up, re-roll any dice up to THREE rolls while trying to create the best combination of dice to move a pawn(s). To move a pawn, one of the following dice combinations must be created:
Pair (zwilling) Move the pawn two (2) spaces towards player rolling dice,
i.e. a pair of 4’s = move the #4 pawn two spaces.
Triples (drilling) Same as above, but move three (3) spaces.
Four of a kind (Vierling) Same as above, but move pawn four (4) spaces
Two Pair (doppell zwilling) Move each corresponding pawn two (2) spaces
Full House Move corresponding pawns three (3) spaces / two (2) spaces
NOTE: Two Pair & Full House are the ONLY combos that allow a player to move TWO PAWNS in one turn
Five of a kind (Kniffel) Move the center pawn (Kniffel) all the way to player’s back win zone. If pawn is in opponent’s back win zone, move to center. Player MUST move the Kniffel pawn, when possible. Only when player has Kniffel pawn in his win zone, may he then move the corresponding dice # five spaces towards his win zone.
Straights (Straße) A small (kleine) straight (4 dice in sequence) moves pawn three (3) spaces, a large (große) straight, moves pawn four (4) spaces.
Chance Total all dice. Total = 10 - 12 OR 23 - 25, move pawn three (3) spaces.
Total = 5 - 9 OR 26 - 30, move pawn four (4) spaces.
Player MUST choose one of these options to move a pawn. He may not combined them, i.e., small straight w/ a pair. 1, 2, 3, 4, 3. After the third roll, if player has no options to move a pawn, he forfeits his roll. Players do NOT need an exact count to move pawn back to its last line in his win zone. Excess moves are lost.
Pawns are neutral, regardless of their location on the board. A pawn in a player’s WINZONE can be moved out with the proper dice roll by his opponent.
Game ends immediately when either player has THREE pawns in his win zone.

Try to rid yourself of cards quickly in Hochspannung! Distribute the deck evenly among all the players, then lay out one card face up to start the discard pile. Each player takes four cards from the personal deck in hand, and they can draw more cards from it at any time — which may or may not be helpful.

Each card shows a multiplication problem in its center, along with two individual digits in each corner. When the game begins, each player races to complete the multiplication problem on the top card in the discard pile, e.g. 6x9, then play a card on it that has in its corner a number that matches either the first or second digit of the product, in this case 5 or 4. This newly played card has a multiplication problem of its own, and someone will play a matching card on it, etc. Whoever plays all the cards in their hand and personal deck first wins.

Brainwaves is a series of games developed by game designers and neuroscientists in which players challenge their episodic memory, that is, their memory of recent personal events.

In The Wise Whale, players lay nine cards showing different colorful sea creatures face down after trying to memorize which creatures are on which cards. On a player's turn, they reveal a new card from the deck, then must reveal a card that matches either the creature or the color on this new card. If they do, they claim this card, then lay out a new card face down in its place. Whoever collects the most cards wins.

7 Ate 9 is a quick-playing card game in everyone wants to rid themselves of cards as quickly as possible — but you can't play just any card you want! Each card features a large numeral (1-10) as well as a smaller numeral in the corner (±1, ±2, or ±3).

To play, place one card face down in the center of the table, deal the remaining cards out evenly among all the players, then reveal the central card. Players race to add the next card to the central pile. A card with a large 5 and a ±2 in its corner, for example, could be covered by either a 3 or a 7 (since 5-2=3 and 5+2=7). The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.
