Quixo bears a superficial resemblance to Tic-Tac-Toe  with one player being crosses and the other circles, and with both trying to create a line of their symbol but that's where the resemblance ends. The pieces in the game are cubes that have a circle on one side, a cross on another, and blank faces on the other four; to set up the game, players place the 25 cubes with blanks face-up on the 5x5 grid in the game board. On a turn, the active player takes a cube that is blank or bearing his symbol from the outer ring of the grid, rotates it so that it shows his symbol (if needed), then adds it to the grid by pushing it into one of the rows from which it was removed. Thus, a few pieces of the grid change places each turn, and the cubes slowly go from blank to crosses and circles. Play continues until someone forms an orthogonal or diagonal line of five cubes bearing his symbol, with this person winning the game.

The abstract strategy game Quoridor is surprisingly deep for its simple rules. The object of the game is to advance your pawn to the opposite edge of the board. On your turn you may either move your pawn or place a wall. You may hinder your opponent with wall placement, but not completely block them off. Meanwhile, they are trying to do the same to you. The first pawn to reach the opposite side wins.

In Zombie Kidz Evolution, players are at school when zombies start to attack, infiltrating the entryways, then barring the way to classrooms. Players move through rooms and entryways to eliminate zombies and keep the zombie reserve full. If a zombie must enter the school but none are available, then the school has been overrun and the players lose. To win the game, players need to lock each of the four entryways as apparently the custodian has abandoned the post and given up the school for lost. As players get better, they can complete missions, track their development through a trophy-sticker system reminiscent of video games, and open envelopes that contain new material for the game, upping the challenge they face while also providing them with new powers and new heroes as well.

In Zoomino, you want to frame as many animals as possible to display them in your zoo. To set up, take eight frames in a single color, shuffle the dominoes face down on the table, then give each player two dominoes. Each turn, each player places one domino in their play area and another face down in front of the player to their left. They then draw a domino from the table to have two in hand again. You must place dominoes in your area horizontally and adjacent to other tiles to form at least one animal. If you create a real animal, frame it! If both backgrounds on the tile match the player color, use the solid side of the frame, which is worth 2 points; otherwise, use the multi-colored side worth 1 point. When the draw pile is empty or someone has placed their eighth frame, the game ends. Players tally their points to see who wins, with a tie being broken in favor of the player with the most imaginary animals on a background of their color.
