Card Game

Castle Lords

Free England from the tyranny of King John! You head the revolt and launch your troops against the castles. The famed knight Ivanhoë will join your forces to liberate the land from tyranny. In this family game, each player aims to conquer the largest number of castles, installing his arms in each. But watch out for the other players --they could make your blazon end up in the oubliettes!

There are three levels of rules: children, family, adults.

Summary
From the game box: "While King Richard the Lionhearted is away leading the Third Crusade greedy nobles are trying to usurp his throne back in England. His authority diminishes as one castle after another falls. But you, hero, are faithful to King Richard. As a noble knight you retake these castles in order to preserve his legacy. Of course, you are not alone in this quest. Other Chevaliers vie for these same honors. To whom will Richard owe the greatest debt when he returns?"

Game consists of:

66 "soldier" cards (16 knights, 16 foot soldiers, 16 crossbowmen, 16 archers, Ivanhoe and Locksley)
5 castle boards and one Dungeon board
6 chips with the names of the castles
6 Lord boards
30 banners bearing the coats of arms of all the Lords (6 sets of 5 banners)
6 "crown" chips (5 Dukes and 1 King)

Tip the Scale

From the publisher's web site:

Test your balancing ability with this fun and fast-paced game where you must balance "Tipsy, the Scale" with various objects in your hand! Add a Bowling Ball to one side - a Bushel of Apples and a Rooster to the other to equal 11 pounds on each side! Balance the objects and collect the cards, or otherwise add an object and let the next player try. But watch out for the "Tip the Scale" card that will tip all of the cards back into your hand!

For Sale

For Sale is a quick, fun game nominally about buying and selling real estate. During the game's two distinct phases, players first bid for several buildings then, after all buildings have been bought, sell the buildings for the greatest profit possible.

The Überplay 2005 Edition has new art, rules and card distribution changes, and it accommodates 3-6 players.

The Gryphon 2009 Edition uses the Überplay art for the faces of the property cards, while replacing most other art. The rules are the same as the Überplay edition, with the exception of the rounding rule.

Tides of Time

Play as an ancient civilization as they prosper and collapse through time. Build gigantic monuments, raise impenetrable fortifications, and amass vast knowledge as the ages pass. The greatest civilizations will leave their mark long after their collapse. From times long forgotten to times recently lost, civilizations will rise and fall as the tide of time carries them.

Tides of Time is a drafting game for two players. Each game consists of three rounds in which players draft cards from their hands to build their kingdom. Each card is one of five suits and also has a scoring objective. After all cards have been drafted for the round, players total their points based on the suits of cards they collected and the scoring objectives on each card, then they record their score. Each round, the players each select one card to leave in their kingdom as a "relic of the past" to help them in later rounds. After three rounds, the player with the the most prosperous kingdom wins.
