All Things Fun! Presents....
Play For Keeps! |
|
Play for Keeps is the name for the exclusive monthly game program
created by the gang at All Things Fun! Every
Wednesday Evening All Things Fun! hosts our Open Game
Night. And every week we have dozens of folks that come in and
share their games with new players. (The only rule we have for
Open Game Night is that the game must be in print and available through
distribution. This way if others fall in love with the game we can
get more copies!)
Once a month during our Open Board Game Night we feature a single game,
form groups and play the featured game. The cool part here is that
the winner of the game gets to take that game home with them. We
do charge a small entry fee to play (usually between $2-$5 depending on
the game.) It's a great way to learn a new game and have an
evening of inexpensive fun. And maybe you'll win and take home a
new game! |

Diplomacy
At the turn of the
20th century, the seven Great European Powers engage in an
intricate struggle for supremacy. Military forces invade and
withdraw, shifting borders and altering empires with subtle
maneuvers and daring gambits.
Form alliances and
unhatch your traitorous plots as you negotiate and outwit—in a
delicate balance of cooperation and competition—to gain
dominance of the continent! In Diplomacy, your success
hinges not on the luck of the dice, but your cunning and
cleverness.
For 2 - 7 players, for ages 12 and up.

America in the 19th century: railroads are booming! Pioneer
spirit and vision are everywhere. Everyone wants to be the first
to build a railroad network across the country. Each player gets
a set of five cities and must build a network (with the help of
the other players) to connect all five cities. The first player
to connect his five cities wins the round. The others lose
points based on how far their unconnected cities are from the
network. Who will be the first to connect his cities? Is it
Casey, who was the first to build through the mountains to the
west? Or Annie, who was the one who best made use of the others'
tracks? |

Secret Service Raid waiting for you! |

the Monsters. In the modern world,
the things that go bump in the night are real. As a vampire, werewolf,

of prey. But your victims are not helpless! They run for their lives and
do whatever it takes to survive. Other monsters may even devour your
intended prey, whether for sustenance or to spite you. For 2 to 5 players; ages 10 & up.

together and keep from getting hit, you could be the last Sitting Duck

The nefarious Pirate King has stolen Her Majesty's Ship, the Sea
Hammer, pride of the Royal Navy. Furious, the Queen has offered a
great reward to the person who can retrieve it. As one of the advisors
to the Queen, you have chosen an officer of the Royal Navy to pursue the
Pirate King. Of course, it might take a thief to catch a thief, so
you've also conscripted a vicious pirate from the Queen's dungeons. Now
they are preparing to enter the dreaded Lair of the Pirate King. Will
one of them be the first to recover the Sea Hammer? Or will one
of your rivals receive the Queen's reward instead? |

In Wits & Wagers
each player writes a guess to a question such as “In what year did the
bikini swimsuit makes its first appearance?” or “How many feet wide
is an NFL football field?” and places it face-up on the betting mat.
Think you know the answer? Bet on your guess. Think you know who the
experts are? Bet on their guess. Strike it big and you’ll be cheering
like you just hit the jackpot! |

Killer Bunnies is
a fast paced, action filled card game, in which you must try to keep as
many Bunnies alive as possible, while eliminating your opponents'
Bunnies. The problem: Your opponents are armed with weapons and will
stop at nothing to keep you from winning the game, which can be
dreadfully vengeful, horribly nasty, hilariously messy, and just plain
fun! Can you keep from being attacked by the whimsical Whisk or
the torching Flame Thrower? Defend your Bunnies with the Magic Spatula
or use the Feed the Bunny card to starve our an opponent! It's
off-the-wall strategic fun where the goal is to survive and claim the
Magic Carrot to win the game! |

Go down in the dungeon.
Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff.
Grab the treasure and run. This award-winning card game, designed
by Steve Jackson captures the essence of the dungeon experience . . .

compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic items! Don
the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff of
Napalm . . . or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by
slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way
up to the Plutonium Dragon . . . |

Roman and Medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around
Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in

the area will determine who is victorious. |

In Monsters Menace
America you can do whatever you want, whenever you want. Who's going
to stop you? Well, that's the rub. You're not the only giant
monster. Other monsters are running around smashing the stuff that's
yours to smash, eating the things that are yours to eat. It has to stop!
It will stop -- soon, you sense. An epic battle looms on the horizon
between you and all the other monsters. When the time comes, will you be
ready?

the temple are covered with pits of treacherous quicksand and jungle,
and the adventurers cannot traverse the dangerous distance without
helping each other. |

hotel/casino wins ownership of the entire block! |
