dinosaurs lived, to capture them for your modern-day zoo. But the other players have cards that can make your hunt harder - and watch out for that charging T. Rex! Dino Hunt is a single-deck game, so all players draw from the same deck of cards. You can get booster packs to add more cards to the deck, but this is simply to add interest and variety to the game. Every player has the same chance of drawing the new cards, so nobody gets an unfair advantage. Published in Germany by Pegasus Spiele with the name "Dino Jagd".
(less...) German game by Michael Schacht and published by Queen Games (Germany 2001) and Asmodée (France 2002). 3-6 players, but best with 4. Takes about 20 minutes to play. Different coloured cards are
auctioned, so you might collect as many as possible in each colour. You are not allowed to bet the values of already collected cards and the payed price is shared among the other players, except that the excess is going to a common pool until the next turn.
(less...) A pretty abstract game about balancing. A trick-taking game designed by Reiner Knizia 1999 and published by ASS in Germany. German name is 'Drahtseilakt'. Each turn, a number of red and blue sticks
are up for grabs. The highest card played will take the blue sticks and the lowest card will take the red sticks. The trick is that a red stick cancels a blue stick (that is, a well balanced tighrope walker), and the goal is to score as few points as possible. The basic game has players simultaneously playing cards, whereas the strategic version plays like a trick-taking game with players selecting a card sequentially.
(less...) Published 1960 by Dutch Blitz Games Company. Amish, Mennonite, Pennsylvania Dutch card game. Two to four players, age 9 to 100, do their best to rid their "Blitz" pile before the other players as
everyone plays at the same time. Each player gets one of the four decks of 40 cards each. Each deck has a different design on the back (carriage, pump, pail, and plow) to designate players cards. Each player has three cards placed on the table in front of them (post piles) along with a pile of 10 cards (blitz pile). Players try to form sequences of cards (in ascending order, by color) in the center of the table starting from one up to ten. Quickest player to get rid of his blitz pile calls BLITZ and play stops. Cards in center of table count for 1 point each, cards left in blitz pile count for -2 points each. First player to 75 wins. Fast paced and good for hand-eye coordination.
(less...) Dvorak is a card game where all the cards start out blank; players choose a theme, make up enough cards to get started, then continue to add new cards during the course of the game, provided that the
other players approve of the cards. It can be played in two ways - either as a serious attempt to create a card game around a theme (a film, a book, a sport, or whatever you like), or a ruthless Nomic-style free-for-all, where each Player pursues his or her particular aims without regard for fairness or replayability.
