Modern Art

Buying and selling paintings can be a very lucrative business. Five different artists have produced a bunch of paintings, and it's the player's task to be both the buyer and the seller, hopefully making a profit in both roles. He does this by putting a painting from his hand up for auction each turn. He gets the money if some other player buys it, but must pay the bank if he buys it for himself. After each round, paintings are valued by the number of paintings of that type that were sold. The broker with the most cash after four rounds is the winner.

Part of the Knizia auction trilogy.

Ticket to Ride: San Francisco

Ticket to Ride: San Francisco features the familiar gameplay from the Ticket to Ride game series — collect cards, claim routes, draw tickets — but on a map of 1960s San Francisco that allows you to complete a game in no more than 15 minutes.

Each player starts with a supply of 20 cable cars, two transportation cards in hand, and one or two destination tickets that show locations in San Francisco. On a turn, you either draw two transportation cards from the deck or the display of five face-up cards (or you take one face-up ferry, which counts as all six colors in the game); or you claim a route on the board by discarding cards that match the color of the route being claimed (with any set of cards allowing you to claim a gray route, although some require ferries); or you draw two destination tickets and keep at least one of them.

When you build a line that connects to a souvenir location, such as Lombard Street, the Embarcadero, or the Golden Gate Bridge, you take a souvenir token from that location.

Players take turns until someone has no more than two cable cars in their supply, then each player takes one final turn, including the player who triggered the end of the game. Players then sum their points, scoring points for (1) the routes that they've claimed during the game, (2) the destination tickets that they've completed (by connecting the two locations on a ticket by a continuous line of their cable cars), and (3) the souvenirs that they've collected, with a full set of seven souvenirs being worth 12 points. You lose points for any uncompleted destination tickets, then whoever has the high score wins!

I'm Right You're Wrong

I'm Right You're Wrong is a fun-first game that promotes mental wellness, themed around petty arguments. In fact, it was inspired by a real life office spat. Outwit and outlast your opponent(s), by holding onto your hand, and not breaking a rule.

Take turns, drawing a card and playing one from your hand. Each card is empowered with consequences. Some cards reduce your hand, some cards restrict your options. The twist is… attacking opponents screws you over, not them. It’s the only card game where playing your least worst option is your best. Play is similar to other casual games (hand management, elimination, take-that). No actual role-play or arguing involved.

Each player starts with 5 cards with powers and consequences. Each turn, draw and play one card from your hand. Many cards are self-punishing, so choose your least worst option to outlast your opponent.

You lose if: you run out of cards, you break a rule (forced or not), or you get caught bluffing.

The game ends when all but 1 player is eliminated.
