Tic tac toe just got an upgrade. 

One side of each card is white, one is colored. The game starts with a random shuffle. Player with the fewest cards face up on the opening board goes first. The goal is to get more of the cards flipped your way. You can flip each card once, and when it's flipped, all surrounding cards flip. If at any point, all the cards are either colored or white, the game is over. That side wins. If not, you play 9 turns (each card) and the highest total wins. 

I built this for a 9-card design contest, then realized I missed the submission window. So I'm not sitting on it any longer. Enjoy!

note: I changed the game title to flip. Everything else is the same.

This one is simple: how well do you know your friends? The judge writes 8. Everyone else writes down a number, 1-10 (half increments too). Closest one wins the round. First to 10 points wins.

The catch: ties rollover to the next round.

The goal here was something entirely different, but it still ended up being quite fun. We play-tested twice and changed rules, card distributions, and added another set of routes and cards.

Will you play it safe reloading supplies with checkpoints and potential for extra rolls, or will you risk it all on the Summit Run?

Notes: It's not geographically accurate. And I simplified the cards a bit since this pic was taken.

I made this game for my son. He was obsessed with tossing things into water and guessing whether they would sink or float. My daughters and I made it into a competition, and hoard was born.

The central idea is simple: cross the board word by word before your opponent. But here, where words become weapons, hijack your opponent's letters, puncture their words, and collapse their word chain.

In short, it's Scrabble combined with chess. No score keeping. First one across wins.

Ideally, the game eventually has two color wooden tiles, but for this print and play, we have front and back printable tiles. If you have Scrabble tiles and a board, that is a great starting point. There are several nuances to attacking so please be sure to read the instructions.

Are you ready to take your words to war?

This is my third draft of this game. The challenge was to make it simple enough that it was easy to learn and immerse yourself, but complex enough to mirror the actual game of football. Let me know what you think.

I bought the Lego 'Build This' game for my kids fall of last year and was underwhelmed, so I made this one to replace it. Let me know what you think.

Take this one for a spin. If you and your kids love Yahtzee, you will love this one too.

Give this game a download and let me know what you think. It's a soccer penalty kick game and can be completed in 3-5 minutes (and it's free).
