War & Write is a light, strategic, "pen & paper", World War II wargame, simulating not only the European and Pacific theaters but also an alternate-history North and South American theater! 2 to 5 players lead Allied and Axis factions on 6 map configurations including an epic world map, where players play all the theaters at once! Each of the 6 rounds represents a year in the war. Players secretly write down commands for their faction and then simultaneously reveal their plans. Did they reinforce more units, form diplomatic ties with neural countries, or move to a decisive battleground? While factions can fight over any territory, each game offers players decisive historical battlegrounds where the victor can win not only more units but more influence in the League of Nations.

Grow the vegetables, manipulate the market, and make a fortune in the Vegetable Stock! In Vegetable Stock, each round you will draft cards from the center of the table until there is only one card left, which will increase the market price of the non-chosen vegetables. The value of the vegetables in your hand will increase gradually, but beware, the market crash might be just right around the corner!

Tens of thousands of years ago, dozens of tribes lived on this fertile land. However, the tight resources induced conflicts among tribes, and the fighting became more and more severe. The "Wazu" and "Balan" clans are the two strongest tribes, possessing powerful force and advanced technology, and have survived after years of wars. Now, it’s time to witness the last battle in the Great Wilderness, where the countless martyrs had been buried. The winner will lead the fate of the great tribe and the continent. Now, let’s witness the Maatatahay. Maatatahay is a two-player chess-like game lasting up to 30 minutes. It is played over up to 12 rounds on a 5x5 matrix game board. For each round, there are 3 combinations of cards from each side. The active player chooses one combination and the cards will be played on the game board respectively by the turn order which is made by the player who owns the card with the smallest value. Each card will be checked whether it survives after it has been enclosed orthogonally according to the strength of the card and other opponent cards adjacent to it. The player will win the game with the most victory point of the surviving card plus some extra bonus after the game ends. This is a highly strategic and in-depth thought game. Enjoy it!
