Shape Chess

Shape Chess, which originated in China, was conceived around 2010 and is a tense game that was perfected after years of development in the gaming community. Players use three types of actions—drop, push, and jump—to complete line-symmetric shapes and score points.

Flower Shop

Flower Shop, the third game by the creators of Tumbleweed and Slyde, is a plant-themed connection-territory game that uses three colors: each player's colors and a neutral color. Make good use of placement restrictions to grow your own flowers!


(This product comes with a double-sided board.)

Paintscape

Paintscape, played with five colors of cute tiles, is an ambitious work by our new designer Michael Amundsen. Players add their pieces vertically and horizontally, and when one places six pieces on tiles of the same color, then capture that color. Enjoy the clever mechanisms devised by the designer!

Residuel

A beautiful geometric game, Residuel is another ambitious creation from Michael Amundsen. Players play hexagonal tiles and compete for diamond-shaped spaces that cannot be covered by tiles. This is a challenging territory game, and the tiles are made of high-quality acrylic!
