Description
Jump on board the good ship Tranquility and set sail for paradise. Take care, though, because in a land where the day blends into night it's easy to lose track of time and you still need to find that special little island to call home.
Tranquility is a co-operative card game in which players must fill the sea with islands — specifically island cards with numbers on them — and guide the ship home before any player runs out of cards. Note that in the world of Tranquility, the only way to play is in silence.
The goal of the game is for the team to complete the grid before any player runs out of available actions. Cards must be placed so that the grid ascends in numerical order from bottom left to top right. All the players win if they manage to complete the grid and have placed a Start and Finish card. All players lose if a single player can no longer play or discard any cards legally following the instructions given below. The players may not, however, communicate.
Play is taken in turns moving clockwise with the quietest player going first. On a player’s turn they must do one of the following: 1. Play a card or 2. Discard two cards. Then they must draw back up to a hand of five cards. Cards must be placed so that the grid ascends in numerical order from bottom left to top right. If the card is placed next to an existing card in the sequence then they must discard cards from their hand equal to the difference between the numbers face down in front of them e.g. placing a 5 next to a 3 will require two cards to be discarded from their hand. This applies even if the cards are on different rows.

Troy – the battle card game
Troy is an easy to learn and quick to set up 1 or 2 player game of strategy, with the aim of the game being to break through the opposition’s defence and destroy their defences. Suitable for ages 9+. As with the famous Trojan war told through Homer’s Iliad, the game pits the Trojan army against the Achaean army that has traveled far and wide to reclaim their pride after Helen was taken from them. The game includes a large number of the armies that are written about in the war and also many of the heroes and leaders in the battle such as Hector, Achilles, Agamemnon and Odysseus. There is also the addition of the Greek gods that play their part.
Game play: You take charge of either the Trojan or Achaean armies. Defences are set up (both sides have four) and you make the decisions of which armies to defend the wall/stockade. Then you have the option to level your armies up to make them stronger, choose a leader to improve their abilities or attack the opposing armies. Attacking is done through dice rolling strategy as armies have improved abilities when fighting specific enemies. All armies have the ability to defend each attack and this is done through dice rolling. The leader's capabilities can be even better if they are linked to their respective armies. There are also divinity cards which can be played at any time. These can help to improve the strength of an attack of assist with defence rolls depending on their capability.
The aim of the game is to defeat the enemy army in front of their defences and destroy their wall. The first side to destroy all four levels of the defence of their opposition is the winner.
The solo version of the game follows a set of rules for your opposition to follow, using a simple numbered system. Be prepared to not always win though!
