In the dice game The Worm is Inside, players want to be the first to have their worm poke its head out of the compost heap at the end of the garden.

To set up the game board, attach a smaller game board with two slots in it to the larger game board on which the worms will crawl. The first slot has a row of daisies by it, while the second slot has a row of strawberries. Each player chooses a color, and places the worm head of that color in the appropriate track on the game board.

The Black Rose is an expansion for the The Mississippi Queen game. It adds several new river sections with three new terrain features: sand bars, floating logs, and coal refueling stations. The first two are new hazards which slow paddle-boats down which enter (or are pushed into) those hexes. The last one is a location at which paddle-boats can dock to refill their coal.

This game features the legendary race between the hare and the tortoise, but with a twist. Each player plays both parts at different stages of the race. Sometimes it is best to race like rabbit; others, it is best to move slowly and cautiously like the turtle. In the end, it is the best combination of the two strategies that will win the race. Great fun for families, but also some serious strategy for serious players.

This is a twist on the usual game in which participants compete in a race while they balance an egg on a spoon. In this one, 10 different items are given to 2 teams of children. You can try to stack as much items on your balancing sticks as you want whenever it is your turn to race, but you risk slower speed, and if any of the items fall, it is back to the starting point. But if you succeed in bringing a stack of items from the start to finish, then you can leave the items at the end point and go back to the starting point to pick up some more or pass to the next player in your team.

BRRRMMMM, the motors are revving. The red light jumps to green and the vehicles set off at full throttle. Watch out! Oil slicks on the circuit means the cars risk skidding. Which lucky player will be the best at bluffing and using good tactics to finish the round first?
