PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Woof and Me is a wonderfully fun educational board game to help children value and respect our animal friends. Woof and Me game teaches children awareness in pet care responsibility. Use your cute doggy game piece to follow the game path and collect cards which show different dog breeds receiving essentials like water, food, health care, etc. The player with the most cards at finish wins. Easy to learn and super fun to play. EDUCATIONAL VALUE: Woof and Me Board Game socially involves children through interaction. Children have fun while learning pet care and responsibility. By counting out loud, your child will quickly grasp the basic fundamentals of number recognition and encourage the ability to count. Doggy Dollars help the youngest of players understand simple money exchange. Woof and Me introduces problems that pets can face and solutions to those problems. Social skills, like communicating verbally and enjoying conversation with others, all help develop a child’s communication skills. Whether you are preparing to get a puppy or a grown dog, it is important for children to learn how to be a responsible pet owner. Your dog will rely on you for its entire life! Ages 5 and up. 2 to 5 players

This colorful visual educational game has received numerous positive testimonials from after school programs in the Phoenix Arizona metropolitan area.

Spot it!, a.k.a. Dobble, is a simple pattern recognition game in which players try to find an image shown on two cards.

Each card in original Spot it! features eight different symbols, with the symbols varying in size from one card to the next. Any two cards have exactly one symbol in common. For the basic Spot it! game, reveal one card, then another. Whoever spots the symbol in common on both cards claims the first card, then another card is revealed for players to search, and so on. Whoever has collected the most cards when the 55-card deck runs out wins!

Rules for different games – each an observation game with a speed element – are included with Spot it!, with the first player to find a match either gaining or getting rid of a card. Multiple versions of Spot it! have been published, with images in each version ranging from Halloween to hockey to baseball to San Francisco.

The game is sold as Spot it! in the USA and Dobble in Europe, with slight differences between the two editions.

Note: some versions have fewer cards and fewer symbols per card. (E.g. 30 cards with 6 symbols each.): Spot it Jr.! Animals

The World’s First Open Source Quantum Board Game. Master New Galaxies in Your Quest to Construct a Quantum Computer!

Welcome to the Quantum Universe, Captain!

Congratulations, your captain has retired and left you in charge of his galactic shipping business! Now it’s time to make some upgrades as you embark on a journey to reconstruct a quantum computer developed by an ancient race.

Entanglion is a cooperative board game designed for two players. Learn about quantum computing as you work together with your teammate to navigate the three galaxies of the quantum universe, avoid detection by the defense mechanisms left behind by the ancients, and rebuild the quantum computer.

Think you’re up for the challenge?

Goal
Entanglion is a cooperative board game designed for two players. The goal is to reconstruct a quantum computer developed by an ancient race. Work together with your teammate to navigate the three galaxies of the quantum universe – Centarious, Superious, and Entanglion – in a quest to collect eight quantum computer components. Be careful to avoid detection by the planetary defense mechanisms guarding the components!

Game concepts
Entanglion was designed to expose players to several fundamental concepts in quantum computing:

Qubits are the building blocks of quantum computation.
Superposition is when a quantum system may exist in a probabilistic combination of multiple states at once.
Entanglement happens when the state of one qubit correlates with the state of another qubit.
Measurement is the process of observing the classical value of a qubit.
Error happens when random noise in the quantum system perturbs the measured value of a qubit.

Entanglion also exposes players to the different kinds of hardware and software components involved in building a real quantum computer.

Turn overview
Perform one of the following actions on your turn.

Navigate. Play one engine card in engine control to navigate around the galaxy, and draw a replacement. You may only play engine cards for your own ship.
Exchange. Discard one engine card from your hand and draw a replacement..
Retrieve. Roll the Entanglion die to attempt to retrieve a quantum component if one is present.
Event. Play an event card from your hand (if you possess one).

Players may not pass their turns, they must perform one of the actions above.

Detection rate
The detection rate determines the difficulty of successfully evading planetary defenses. The detection rate token is used to keep track of the current detection rate. When a player’s spaceship has been detected by orbital defenses, or a player’s away team has been detected by ground defenses, the detection rate is increased, making it easier for each planet’s defenses to detect the player in the future. The game ends when the detection rate reaches the final level (designated with an X).

Orbital defenses
Planets in Entanglion are protected by orbital defenses that scan for ships looking to plunder the quantum components hidden there. It is possible to evade these defenses using your quantum engines. If you are detected, however, your navigation system will automatically take evasive maneuvers and jump to a random planet in the Centarious system. This jump triggers a quantum event.

Game end
Players immediately win the game when they have collected all eight components of the quantum computer. Players immediately lose the game when the detection rate reaches the end (X).

Subatomic: An Atom Building Game is a deck-building game in which players compete to build a number of available elements, which score them points.

Each player starts with the same small deck of cards that consist of proton, neutron, and electron cards. They use these cards to build upon their current atom (by playing these cards face-up as subatomic particles) in an attempt to construct one of the available element cards. Alternatively, players may use their hand of cards to purchase more powerful cards for later use (by playing them in combinations of face-down cards as energy and face-up cards as subatomic particles). Subatomic introduces a unique variation on deck-building with a highly accurate chemistry theme, with the ultimate goal of building elements to score points, but allowing many varying types of strategies.

Cytosis: A Cell Building Game is a worker placement game that takes place inside a human cell. Players start out with a number of workers and on a player’s turn, they will place one of their workers in any available location within that cell. Some of the locations provide players with resources (e.g., mRNA, ATP); some with actions (e.g., convert resources, collect cards). Resources are used to build enzymes, hormones and/or receptors, which score Health Points. The player with the most Health Points at the end of the game wins!
