Fluxx is a game about change. It begins very simply, with a couple of core rules, and gradually becomes more complex as cards are played that change the rules.

You start with a hand of three cards... add the card you drew to your hand, and then choose one card to play, following the directions written on your chosen card.

What would YOU do with a Time Machine? Would you stop the sinking of the Titanic? Prevent the assassination of JFK? Kill Hitler before WWII? These are just a few of the possibilities in Chrononauts, the award-winning card game of time travel. To win, you must change history at key points called Linchpins, so that history transforms into the Alternate Reality your character calls home. You can also win by collecting a specific set of Artifacts, such as a live dinosaur, the Mona Lisa, and an unpublished Shakespearean play. But be careful - if you create too many paradoxes, you could destroy the entire universe! For 1-6 players, ages 11 and up.

Game Play
In this game, you are a Time Traveler, with a Secret Mission, a Secret Identity, and a very important job to do: Paradox Repair. You can win by fixing enough Paradoxes, gathering up the three rare and amazing Artifacts listed on your Mission card, or adjusting history in the three ways necessary to allow your character to return to the alternate reality from which he or she originally came. The constant changing of history is tracked by a special layout of 32 cards, called the TimeLine, which functions rather like a gameboard. The three ways to win provide for several different plotlines and layers of action, but you can also split the game up into two less complicated games: Solonauts (The Solitaire Game of Changing History) and Artifaxx (The Fluxx-style Game of Collecting Amazing Stuff).

It all begins with one basic rule: Draw one card, play one card.

All the fun and silliness of the classic Mad Libs® activity books, but in a card game that allows up to eight players to join in the fun all at the same time! Players' hands consist of cards with a base word at the top and other forms of that word reading down, color coded for part of speech, allowing students to learn intuitively as they play. A sentence card with color coded blanks is placed in the middle of the table and all players try to form a funny sentence using the cards in their hands. Once all sentences have been read out loud, a vote determines the winner of that round and a new sentence is started. For 3-8 players, ages 10 and up.

Game Play
Every player is dealt Word Cards, which each feature a key word used as different parts of speech. Players use the Word Cards, along with the Sentence Card in play, to make the most appropriately inappropriate sentences possible! All players vote and the silliest sentence wins the round. The first player to win three rounds wins the game!

Martian Chess is a fast and easy to learn Chess-style game with a difference that really makes you think: ownership of pieces is determined not by color, but by location on the gameboard.

As a Pyramid Arcade expansion, one set of Martian Chess brings Pyramid Arcade up to eleven color choices.

In this unique version of Fluxx, players collect single-digit numbers in order to form larger multi-digit numbers using mathematical operations. For example, if the Goal is 88 and you have Keepers for 1, 2, 4, and 5, you could play the New Rule called "Grafting" to combine your 4 and 5 into 45, then subtract the 1 to get 44 and multiply by 2 to get 88 and win the game! Because they need to be aware if a particular Goal will make your opponents win, students are doing constant mental math throughout the game, whether it's their turn or not. For 2-6 players, ages 8 and up.

In this fast-paced card game, you must carefully navigate the time-stream to find and arrest the Time Breaker. Then, return with them to Time Repair HQ before your opponents catch up or the Time Breaker slips away. Good luck, Agents! For 2-5 players, ages 8 and up.

Game Play
You work in the security division of the Time Repair Agency (TRA). As you know, changing history is a crime, so our job is to apprehend the Time Breaker currently at large. Unfortunately, we don't have a good description of the perp, so we're using a cube to represent them. The sooner we can capture this Time Breaker, the less damage they'll be able to do to the
Time-Space Continuum. Therefore, whoever brings in this dangerous criminal will earn a bonus and maybe even get a promotion.
Quick everybody, into your Time Machines!
