QUATRO

As the first and obvious thing about the game - it is a tasteful game with wooden dice. A strategic game similar to checkers, where in order to win you have to think a few moves ahead, and you can also create traps-combinations, where the opponent will unwittingly place the exact die that you need to win. This is the game - the more you play, the more you get excited.

The game consists of a board-base and 16 figurines - dice, which have 4 different characteristics - height, color, shape, consistency. Dice can be long, short, white, black, square or round, hollow or closed. The goal is to place the fourth die in a row in a row so that all 4 dice have at least one sign in common. The difficulty in doing this comes from the other player wanting to achieve the exact same thing on their turn, interfering with your plans.

A game that has received many awards and nominations. The best abstract game of UK Games Expo 2019. A game with an attractive and colorful design that will remind more than one player of travel impressions from sunny Portugal, Spain and beyond.

The story of the game - the ancient Moors introduced the world to azulejos - white and blue ceramic tiles, which were soon widely used in architecture. King Manuel I of Portugal noticed the beautiful tiles, their ornaments during his visit to southern Spain and was enchanted by their beauty. He immediately had his palace in Portugal decorated with these tiles. Game participants can take on the role of decorators and architects creating the Castle of Evora for the King of Portugal. Players compete in placing tiles in the castle in various combinations, taking them from the factories and placing them on their player table-board. A special scoring system determines the winner. However, the greatest satisfaction and joy for the player is when he managed to tile the entire wall. Visually very beautiful and colorful game.

TZAAR

The game is designed for 2 players. The duration of the game is 30-60 minutes. Recommended age 13+

This is a game where every turn tests how strong you feel and whether you are ready to take risks. Any move in the game can work in your favor or against you. The game is all about making the right choices. Both players have 30 dice, divided into three types: 6 Tzaars, 9 Tzarras and 15 Totts. The three types of dice form a trinity: they cannot exist without each other. Players have to attack by stacking them in the right order, move them in the right direction to be able to surround the opponent. When playing, keep in mind that any decent opponent will see the attack and you will have to force the opponent to move the way you want. This game is really hard to play only once. When you play it, especially if you lose, you want to play it again to build on what you learned.

YINSH

The game is designed for 2 players. The duration of the game is 30-60 minutes. Recommended age 9+

The game has won many awards, nominations and has been known in the board game market for quite some time. A game that may seem like total chaos at first, but as you start to play, it gradually disappears like a fog and emerges as a tight, deeply strategic game. The game consists of 5 white, 5 black circles and 51 dice, one side black and the other white. In YINSH, each player starts with five circles on the table. Each time the circle is moved, it leaves a token-dice. When the markers are crossed by the circle, they must be flipped, so their color changes continuously during the game. Players must try to make a row of five dice-markers of the specified color. If the player succeeds, he removes one of his rings to indicate that he has made such a row. This step brings you closer to victory, but at the same time makes you weaker. The first player to remove three of their rings wins the game.
