After all players have placed 12 branches on their tree, players score all of their goal cards. The player with the most points wins. For 2 — 4 players, games run 30 — 40 minutes. Mental Blocks is a game of puzzling perspectives, with players trying to complete a puzzle using oversized foam blocks, despite seeing only one perspective of the design. In addition to the time pressure, players have other challenges, such as not being able to talk or to touch certain color blocks.

For 2 — 9 players, games last 10 — 20 minutes. Players have a row of seven cards on the table featuring many horizontal lines in a variety of colors. The goal is to make a single stripe of one color across your card set. Each turn, you select one of the action cards to change your cards: flip, swap, steal, draw, etc. There are a certain set of actions available each round, depending on the number of players.

How many moves will you take to complete your stripe and win? For 2 — 6 players, games run 10 — 20 minutes. Protect your borders, attack your neighbors, and be the first to collect three turnip relics! Players simultaneously choose two cards from their hand and play one against each neighbor. All cards are revealed at once, then resolved in order. Farmers produce turnips, Walls block Raiders, Raiders steal turnips, and Merchants either add new cards to your hand or help you purchase a relic.

All cards return to hand, and the next round begins! Getting all three royal relics wins. For 2 — 5 players, games last about 20 minutes. In Kodama 3D, players will grow trees in three-dimensional space. Players move their kodama pieces around a 4x4 grid of branch tiles in order to pick the branches they want to add to their tree.

Ready, set, Puzzle! Mental Blocks is the frenetic, nail biting 3D puzzle game you will never want to put up. Players must work together to solve 3d puzzles varying from entry level to hardcore head-scratchers before time runs out! Each player has their own secret perspective to the puzzle, but there's a catch! Every person has a restriction: some players can only touch certain blocks, some can only touch certain shapes, some cannot speak.
