Uluru Rules

We're in Australia, a land of myth and magic, and every night at sundown eight dreambirds gather around the holy rock Uluru. To make the magic work to its fullest, they all wish to land in specific locations to fulfill specific conditions.

Unfortunately, they haven't coordinated their wishes among the flock, so it's up to the players to sort out the puzzle so that as many dreambirds as possible have their wish granted. Oh, and you better do it quickly because the sandtimer is running towards sundown.

Mondo Rules

In Mondo, players compete against each other while also racing against the clock. Each player has a small world board with empty spaces on it, and all players simultaneously pick tiles depicting different animals and environments from the middle of the table and place them on their world board, trying to create complete areas of the same environment. A new tile must be placed next to an already placed tile, but the environmental borders don't have to match. (These errors will earn negative points when the board is scored.)
