Nanjamonja: A game that tests memory and reflexes
You only use cards featuring the strange creatures known as the Nanjamonja Tribe.
Players take turns drawing one card at a time.
If the creature on the card is one you’ve never seen before, you can give it any name you like.
But if it’s a creature that has appeared previously, you must be the first to shout out its name.
Watching a real game in action will surely show you just how fun it is.
The Saboteur who sees through who’s getting in the way
A game where players cooperate by laying down cards to connect paths in order to uncover a gold nugget.
However, among the players are “saboteurs.” The saboteurs must cleverly obstruct the others while hiding their identities so they can’t reach the gold.
A “love letter” that must be confessed faster than anyone else
The players’ goal is to deliver a love letter to the princess.

Red Riding Hood Does Not Sleep
It’s a card game that lets you enjoy mind games with ease.
When kids play together, just choosing between “Good Night” and “Trap” is enough to have fun, and when adults play, it turns into a tense psychological battle.
It’s recommended for those who are tired of games that are only about rowdy fun.
Battle line where two people compete against each other
It’s designed for two players, so it’s not suited for large groups, but it’s recommended for those who want to take their time and play in a small group.
The rules are similar to poker, where you collect cards to make hands.
There are many special cards, and the possibility of a dramatic comeback is part of the fun.
Rhino Hero, where you build a tower with cards
Instead of competing with numbers or hands, this unique balance game has you take turns stacking cards to build a tower.
It’s played with a Jenga-like feel, letting you enjoy a thrilling tension that’s rare in typical card games.
