Race for the Galaxy:
In Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Each turn each
player chooses one action, but the others will share in the actions chosen, each player secretly and simultaneously chooses one of seven different
action cards and then reveals it.
Lifeboat:
Your only hope for survival is to climb aboard a Lifeboat and head out into uncharted waters. But as supplies run low and
hidden treasure is discovered, the passengers start to take sides. Protect your secret love, watch out for your secret enemy
and grab as much loot as you can!
Pandemic:
Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in
various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out.
Martinis & Men:
Match Up Your Friends. Then send them on their first dates, in hopes of love at first sight. But be careful, other matchmakers will be
trying to steal them out from under your nose. A fast party game for up to 8 people.
Bohnanza:
This great card game is about planting, trading, and selling beans - 11 kinds of beans. Players try to collect large sets of beans to sell for gold.
There is limited growing space and always new beans to plant.
Yinsh:
The players each start with 5 rings on the board. Every time a ring is moved, it leaves a marker behind.
When markers are jumped over by a ring they must be flipped, so their color is constantly changing. Players must try to form a row of 5 markers with
their own color face up. If a player succeeds in doing so, he removes one of his rings as an indication that he has formed such a row.
The first player to remove 3 of his rings wins the game. In other words, each row you make brings you closer to victory-but also makes you weaker,
because you have one fewer ring to play with.
High School Drama: Play as a student in a high school drama. Hookup with other students,
spread vicious lies and rumors about your rivals and pretend to bond with your fake friends. 
Spoils: The card game by Tenacious Games is taking CHG by storm.
The mechanics play like Magic, without the resource problems, making for an interesting game.
Redneck Life:
A roll of 2 dice determines the grade you complete in school, which sets you up for one of 11 fabulous careers such as Monster Truck Announcer.
Journey through Blue Collar Americana by going into debt to purchase a vehicle, get married, divorced, re-married, purchase a home, and raise a passel of young'ens.
Bang!: The outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretly, ready to take one side or the other.
Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff?
And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw!
Ticket to Ride:
Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn.
Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America.
The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets –
goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route.
Blokus:
Blokus is an abstract strategy game with transparent, Tetris-shaped, colored pieces that players are trying to play onto the board.
The only caveat to placing a piece is that it may not lie adjacent to your other pieces, but instead must be placed touching at least one
corner of your pieces already on the board.
Tsuro:Each player lays tiles to move her playing piece across the board,
while trying to avoid interference from her opponents.
