Junta : Finally reprinted again, many consider this one of the best multiplayer games of the past 20 years and we agree. 1 player starts the game as dictator of a banana republic. They appoint jobs like general of the army, prime minister, palace guard & Admiral of the Navy, so each player has some role to play and advantage to exploit. Then, through a unique mechanism, the dictator secretly draws cards to determine the yearly income of the republic. Next comes the budget. but not each appointee will get what they want. Of course El Presidente keeps some for himself. The real test is for the "President" to keep enough of the other players happy to avoid rebellion. El Presidente never seems to stay in office long; players try each turn to get to the bank to stash/protect their cash, and nobody is ever eliminated. Victims of assassination return next turn as a relative of the deceased. The rules are quite humorous and there's plenty of interaction, intrigue, and double dealing. The one who has the most cash in the bank wins. Players: 2 - 7, Time to Play: 2 - 4 hours, Ages: 16+ | $35.81 |

The last in this series of off-the-wall European imports asks you and your fellow stone-agers to build a temple. All you've got is a holy tree stump and, you guessed it, a bunch of rocks (included of course). As you avoid pitfalls and the help of village idiots, players take turns adding rocks to the stump in such a way as to make it impossible for the others to continue without toppling the stack. Simple to understand and just plain fun to play. It's sort of like playing Jenga backwards. 2-4 ages 7+; 1 hr. | $23.09 | |

Nero: Players are contenders for Imperial power. Using your legions and political influence, your aim is to either seize and hold the Imperium by being declared Emperor, or to gather enough land and power so that, at game’s end, you are in position to do so. The overall strategy is to become Emperor, stay Emperor, conquer areas, and amass victory points. However, to do that, rather than take an extended overview and plan way ahead, the game requires players, instead, to react and act quickly, often making their own opportunities by playing the event cards sagaciously and timely. Event cards include Assassins, Bribery, Bad Augury, German Tribe Attacks, Galley Fleets, Crisis in Rome, the Praetorian Guard and many more! Includes large gameboard of Europe and the Mediterranean area, 162 full color playing pieces, 12 full color cardboard standup leader pieces, 55 bridge quality playing cards, 2 player aid cards and a rules booklet. The game does not contain any dice – movement, combat and events are all covered by the deck of playing cards! To play: 90-120 min., for 3-4 players, Ages 12+: | $34.65 | |
