Goodwill is a light auction game where players bid on mystery lots filled with useful, odd, or downright terrible items. Take turns offering cash, judging each lot’s hidden value, and deciding when to pass. After the final sale, players score their collections, and the shopper with the best haul wins.

King is a trick-taking card game where players choose contracts, avoid certain cards, and chase points across several rounds. Deal cards, follow suit when possible, and play carefully as the target changes. Read your rivals, manage risk, and finish with the highest score.

California is a tile-laying game about turning plain homes into stylish spaces. Players collect furniture, place matching tiles, complete room sets, and earn points for smart designs. Watch your rivals, grab useful items before they vanish, and spend your cash wisely. The best decorator wins, naturally making everyone else jealous.

China is a tense area-control game where players place houses, connect cities, and build influence across provinces. Each turn, you choose cards carefully, claim useful locations, and watch rival plans unfold. Alliances can score well, but crowded borders create trouble. The winner combines sharp timing, smart placement, and a little nerve.

Colorado is a strategic card game about building routes, linking locations, and scoring points. Players manage their cards, claim connections, and time moves carefully while watching rivals’ goals. Smart timing, flexible plans, and a little bluffing can turn a good hand into a winning network.

Buccaneer is a pirate-themed board game about sailing, collecting treasure, and outsmarting rival crews. Players move ships around the map, raid valuable loot, and use clever timing to avoid trouble. Plan your routes, judge each prize, and strike when opponents look weak. The richest pirate wins.
