It is not just about having money; you must also have the expertise in critical fields to pull off these deals. Players roll the dice to increase their knowledge in the 6 career fields. When a player finally reaches the pinnacle of their knowledge, they become an indispensable expert in that field.While making your moves, you also gather influence in the form of cards that can be used during your turn or the deal-making process. There are always two potential deals on the table. Watch for the deals that are in your wheelhouse, and be ready to go on the offensive when the time is right.

The player to the dealer’s left starts by playing a card from their hand face up on the table. Continuing with the player to the left, each player then also plays one card face up. Players must “Follow fruit (suit)” if possible, meaning they must play a card of matching fruit type as the first card played. If a player cannot follow fruit, they can play any card.After everyone has played a card, the winner of the trick is the owner of the highest number card of the fruit that was led. The winner takes all the cards from the middle of the table and places them in a personal face-down pile nearby. The winner of the trick then leads the next trick until all cards are played, ending the hand. In each round of Scope, a player will reveal the top card from the Number Deck. All players will then cross out one or more numbers in their own Grid that add up to the Number Card revealed. A player can skip a card if they wish, even if there is a legal play associated with the card. Multiple numbers may be crossed out only if they are vertically or horizontally adjacent to each other. Or, players may choose to cross out a single number that matches the Number Card.Once all players have crossed out their number(s), another Number Card is revealed. Play continues until 15 Number Cards have been revealed. The player with the least amount of numbers left on their Grid is the winner.

Did you pass a red leaf or a blue leaf? Or maybe it was actually a rock? You’ll never find those hidden hazelnuts if you can't remember the way! Surely it can't be that difficult... or can it? In Nut Job, players will scramble like squirrels through a colorful forest looking for the hazelnuts they have hidden away. Each turn you will have to get through three placards that separate you from your nutty prize. These placards each have a form (rock, leaf, mushroom), and a color (red, yellow, blue) that are hidden from players. If you name the correct color on all three placards in your path you collect a nut token! But make a mistake and your turn ends immediately, giving your opponents a chance to make their own guesses. Once you collect a nut token it forces all other players to flip their character tokens to the opposite side, meaning they will now have to guess forms instead of colors and vice versa. Be the first player to collect 5 hazelnuts and you can win the game, just try not to go nuts in the process! Components:9 Forest Placards12 Nut Tokens4 Squirrel Tokens1 Rule Sheet

An expansion to the new edition of Tom Lehmann's The City. Adds 33 more cards, including 16 new ones: Neighborhood Pub, Waterfront, Auto Race Track, Tourist Attraction, Church, Fast Food Outlet, Fashion District, Café, Hotel, Upscale Bar, and more! Rules are unchanged except: Survey now draws 7, not 5, cards (to deal with the larger deck). Expands the game to 6 players. In The City, players try to quickly and skillfully build their own city over the rounds, bringing in revenue and victory points (VPs). The cards are both buildings and currency, and the first player to collect 50 victory points wins the game. Victory points are cumulative from round to round, so a fast start yields a big advantage. Each turn, each player places a card from his hand face down, then all cards are simultaneously revealed. The cards show the buildings that the players want to build that round; building costs are paid for by discarding other cards. Some buildings provide income at the end of the round in the form of new cards, with certain buildings increasing the income provided by others; similarly, some buildings boost the VPs provided by others, with a University, for example, being worth one more VP for each School you have in play. Certain buildings have symbols on them – car, fountain, shopping cart - and the income and VPs provided by some buildings depends on how many symbols you have in play; the Autobahn, for example, is worth one dollar (i.e., card) and one VP for each car symbol you control.
