In Islet, you embody tropical birds seeking to nest on a small islet in the middle of the ocean. During the game you will collectively explore the islet to collect materials, while competing to create the best nests to spawn, thus guaranteeing the continuity of your species. On each of your turns you choose to either explore the islet to receive resources, or position yourself to create the perfect nests in which to spawn your precious eggs.
This way, together - as much as against one another - you’ll build a tropical islet with its different biomes, and whoever spawns all their eggs on the islet first will be the winner.
How to play:
Whoever has touched an egg most recently starts the game.
Starting with that player, take turns clockwise. On your turn, you must take either an EXPLORE or a MOVE action.
When you EXPLORE, EXPLORE you lay 1 to 4 tiles from your reserve, expanding the islet, and receive resources in return.
When you MOVE, you can ADVANCE your pawn and SPAWN (lay eggs), as many times as you want and in any order and combination, as long as you can pay the required resource cost.
The end of the game can be triggered in 2 different ways: ● When a player SPAWNS their last egg, their turn ends as normal and then the current round ends (so that everyone plays the same number of turns). ● When a player takes the last islet tile from the bag, the current round ends and a new round is played (so that everyone plays the same number of turns).
In any case, the player who spawned the most eggs wins the game.

Rocódromo is a climbing game for 2-4 players, 7+ years old and about 10 minutes of playing time.
Rocódromo is a game in which we compete to be the first to reach the top of a climbing wall. As if it was a race, we combine colour sticks of different lengths which simulate the routes of the wall that was built at the beginning of the game. Who will be the first to conquer the climbing wall?
Rocódromo has two game modes: Basic and Advanced. The differences between them are the difficulty and the levels of the wall that we set to climb:
In Basic mode, the wall to be climbed will have three levels. In Advanced mode, the wall can have more levels, a different shape or it can include some special settings.
If it’s the first time you play, we recommend the Basic mode; once you know the mechanics, we encourage you to follow the rules to set up the game in Advanced mode.
Stress Botics is a sci-fi adventure in which four easily-stressable robots (known as Beta Bots) are sent to an exoplanet by their corporation Cubebotics CORP®, in order to mine its resources. Once those resources are extracted, the Beta Bots' task is to deliver them to the corporation's ships.
It won't be a piece of cake. To start with, the exoplanet is unstable, so the Beta Bots will have to adapt to a constantly changing environment. On top of that, each corporation ship requires different resources, and each payload delivery requires perfect timing & alignment with the orbiting trajectory of the matching ship. And last, but not least, the rival corporation Cylindroids INC® has sent its own bots to snatch resources and interfere with your bots.
But do not fret! Beta Bots can count on Alpha Bot’s help, a support robot with a (very) short-tempered AI. Alpha Bot will unlock new places to mine, give the Beta Bots more actions and generally make their life easier...but keep an eye on those pesky Cylindroid bots, since they won't pass up the opportunity to damage your guardian!
---
Mechanical overview:
The game is organized in rounds. In each round, an event takes place (which might involve trouble for the Beta Bots!) and the players will program actions to interact with the planet's resource-laden chambers, with enemies, with Alpha Bot, or with each other. Actions are chosen in secret and players commit to them before any are revealed. The stress level of each bot determines the turn order as well as its possible resource deliveries. Then players take turns to reveal their programmed actions, and execute them.
Each player has their own robot's blueprint, where they store resources using multiple containers of limited size. Those resources can be delivered to the passing ships, or they can be transformed or spent to enhance the robot's capabilities.
During the adventure, the autonomous Alpha Bot will advance through the planet's chambers until it reaches the surface. Players can interact with Alpha Bot to obtain advantages or to steer it out of harm's way, since it is vulnerable to enemy attacks and the planet's adversities.
At the end of each round, there's a maintenance step that includes the activation of enemy robots (Cylindroids). They can move, attack, or occupy resource chambers. Additionally, players will receive benefits or penalties (stress) according to their distance to Alpha Bot.
The game ends when Alpha Bot reaches the last chamber. The players tally the victory points, which can be earned in different ways: Through successful resource deliveries, by upgrades on their robot, by fulfilling other objectives, etc. Then, each player's victory points is reduced by the amount of stress they incurred during gameplay, and the player with most remaining points wins the game.
