Expansions The Spirits of Niagara


Niagara is set in the not particularly safe world of rushing waterfalls. In the late 18th Century, the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians pointed white Desperadoes, Mercenaries and Adventurers in the direction of hidden caches of valuable jewels, in the hopes of turning them against one another and away from their territorial expansion ambitions. Players play as some of those Adventurers.

The first player to be able to claim ownership of five jewels is the winner. But the chase after the riches has some snags. The speed of the river is always changing, since the speed depends on the decisions of the players and the changeable weather. And once a canoe goes over the falls, it's a hefty investment to replace it. And there are also the Desperadoes to contend with, who aren't above trying to plunder the riches from Adventurers returning home. Niagara is distinguished by an innovative movement mechanic as well as a beautiful three-dimensional rendering of the waterfall setting.

Purzelbaum is the dexterity and memory game with a three-dimensional, wooden tree that provides plenty of nuts for busy squirrels to bury during autumn and then dig up again once winter has come.
In autumn, the player whose turn it is picks a hole in the ground and tries to let a nut fall into it. If the player is successful, they will get a leaf as a reward. As soon as all nuts have been shaken from the tree, it becomes winter. Now, the players try to recall the best spots to dig for nuts. As soon as all nuts have been recovered, the player with the most leaves and nuts wins.

—description from the publisher
(Purzelbaum means somersault in German and also means falling of the tree-ish, pun-like)

Expands


Expansion for Niagara. From the publisher:

The search for jewels across the raging torrent of Niagara continues - and now, river ghosts come into the game. With larger canoes (which can hold more gems), extra paddle cards and river ghosts who can help during moments of extreme danger, the award-winning game becomes even more exciting.

In Quick Quick (aka Tempo Tempo), the players have to match patterns to animals.

At the start of the game, each player receives a set of animal cards (cow, rabbit, dog, cheetah, hyena and ladybug). There is also a deck of pattern cards; each of these cards shows a pattern that appears on one of the animals.

The game is played in rounds. Each round, someone reveals a pattern card, then players must race to play the matching animal card. The first player to play an animal may keep the pattern card if he played the right animal; he then returns the animal card to his hand. If he played the wrong animal, both his animal card and the pattern card are discarded.

After all pattern cards have been revealed, the player who has collected the most pattern cards wins.
