It’s time to share some details about Time Division! ⏳✨

In this time travel duel for two, two timelines have merged, and now it’s a race against time for survival!🙌 Each agency knows their time is limited, and every move is a power play to control the shared timeline. When the Great Regulation comes, only one agency will prevail!

Time Division is a strategic game where you master time nodes to outsmart your opponent. With three playable decks offering different difficulties, you can choose your era or dive into the campaign to see which time travel agency survives after three epic battles!

With easy rules, stunning artwork, and high replayability, Time Division is a must-try for any strategy lover! 🕰️✨

🃏✨ Coyote ✨🃏

Get ready to bluff and strategize with Coyote, a thrilling game designed by Spartaco Albertarelli! In this game, you can see everyone else's cards but never your own. Think you've got what it takes to outwit your friends?

🎲 How to Play Coyote 🎲
1. On your turn, announce a number less than the total of all the cards in the game, increasing the previous number.
2. Alternatively, challenge the previously announced number.
3. When all the cards are revealed, see who has the cunning Coyote on their side. Remember, Coyote never loses!

🌟 Special Features 🌟
Coyote is part of the Radiant Culture series that includes Spicy, a card game recommended by Game of the Year 2020.
✨ Metallic Print: The game box and card backs are adorned with a stunning copper metallic print, symbolizing prosperity and cultural wealth in the tradition of the Northwest Coast Tribes.
🎨 Artwork by Zona Evon Shroyer: The cover features a modern silhouette of a coyote filled with intricate animal motifs like turtle, beaver, and bear, designed by Yupik Alaskan Native artist Zona Evon Shroyer. Her detailed and complex traditional Northwest Coastal art adds a rich cultural layer to the game.

Gather your friends, embrace the spirit of the coyote, and let the games begin! 🐾🔥

This or that... what will you choose?

Spicy or Sweet & Spicy? or both?😂

Both games are great bluffing games and Spicy is our top seller worldwide 🌎 It comes with a metallic box and metallic background of the cards. The artwork shows three big cats, who spice up their 9 lives with a hot spice eating contest. Wasabi, chili, pepper, which cat can eat the hottest stuff?🔥

On the other side, Sweet & Spicy is the kid-friendly variant of Spicy with a kitten artwork. Instead of Wasabi you can now play with Lemon and there is a new card in the game: The SUPER-JOKER. 🐈

But the game principle remains the same. So which one do you choose to play? Let us know in the comments 👇👇👇

Posted • .joel What’s your favorite game with monkeys?🐒

Hungry Monkey by is a card shedding game where you have 4 secret cards

In the game, you’ll have 4 cards facedown in front of you and 3 cards in hand. You are able to play as many identical cards from your hand as long as it’s valid (if it’s equal or larger than the top card in the center. You’ll then draw back up to 3. If you are unable to play a valid card, you can play from the top of the deck, but if it’s invalid, you’ll take the whole pile into your hand

What’s interesting is that you can only play 1 of your facedown cards when you have no cards in your hand, which will only happen after the deck runs out (since you have to replenish your hand every turn). As such, you’ll be spending the first part of the game improving your hand and also manipulating the cards in front of you. As you’re not allowed to look at the 4 facedown cards, you’ll have to use the abilities of the cards. Some of the cards will grant you abilities such as swapping a card with your facedown card, peeking at a facedown card, or taking another turn. There’s also the Hungry Monkey that will copy the ability of the card under it

And if you’re concerned that the stack will keep getting bigger and bigger, when 4 of the same animal (or Hungry Monkey) is played, the whole pile is discarded but you won’t get the activate the card’s ability

All these rules come together to create a very unique experience and opens up various possibilities. As you are not able to play your 4 cards before the deck runs out, it can be more beneficial to purposefully collect cards so that you have more options near the end of the game. While the game can feel a little random at times, there are different strategies that you can employ to work around this. However, this game requires you to search for these strategies as it is possible to just play the game completely based on the cards you draw

As such, Hungry Monkey is a game that allows all levels to play and participate but rewards clever plays. If that sounds like your kind of card game, do check it out!
