Game Changer is a collection of 15 types of board games designed as an introduction box to modern board games. Descriptions of the games: The Action Game: Summary: Are your reactions fast enough to be the first to snap on cards? Players take turns placing cards on the table as they race to snap on all the correct cards. Similar to the classic game of snap. The game is played in rounds where players compete to be the first to fulfill a customer s order (3 resource items). Objective: Be the first player to snap on all the items that each customer wants in order to collect the active customer card. The first player to collect 3 customer cards wins the game! The Abstract Game: Summary: This game is like chess for the modern era. Two players sit on either side of the board and move Player Tokens across. Unlike chess, the board s tiles dictate how the Player Tokens can be moved, not the Player Tokens. Objective: Win by being the first player to move all 3 of your Player Tokens to the opposite side of the board. The Bidding Game: Summary: Players are at an auction each with the same amount of money. Can you outsmart your opponents by spending the least to gain the most? The game consists of 10 auctions where players bid on resources, aiming to have the most points at the end of the game. Objective: Win by having the most points at the end of the game (after 10 auctions). The Bluffing Game: Summary: Can you lie without getting caught? Can you tell when others are lying? Each player starts with 5 coins and one animal card, each with its own special ability to earn or remove coins. Players can choose to lie or tell the truth about which animal card they have in order to earn or remove coins from other players. Objective: Win by being the last player remaining with coins. This is a game of elimination. The Co-op Game: Summary: Players must work as a team to find and arrest the 2 Diamond thieves while protecting the innocent bystanders. To do this, each player must choose a card from their hand and perform the actions stated on the card. Winning will take real teamwork. Objective: When both Diamond thieves are arrested everyone wins, but when 2 innocent bystanders are arrested everyone loses! The Dice Game: Summary: Seven animals race around a track while all players watch and bet, aiming to earn the most money by the end of the game. There are multiple ways of earning money including betting on the winners/losers or buying land (like Monopoly) that earns money when animals land on them. Objective: The player who has the most money when the first animal reaches the finish line wins the game. The Hidden Identity Game: Summary: Can you figure out who among you are lying? Players are assigned a secret identity, which will either be on the innocent team or the guilty team. Players close their eyes while listening to an audio recording from Game Changer s website, which instructs certain animals to perform specific actions while everyone else has their eyes closed. In the second phase of the game, all players open their eyes and discuss what happened in order to determine who the guilty team is, while the guilty team lie to try to not get caught! Objective: After 5 minutes of discussion, all players vote on who they think is the guilty team. If the majority vote is correct, the innocent team wins. If the majority vote is incorrect, the guilty team wins. The Market Game: Summary: Players visit a bustling market to buy and sell valuable resources in order to earn the most amount of money. Players must decide whether to claim, swap, trade, or sell resources to customers in order to profit the most. Objective: The first player to reach $40 worth of coins wins the game! The Memory Game: Summary: This game combines memory and strategy. Resource Cards are placed face down on the table with players able to peek at any 2 cards to start their turn. The goal is to collect sets of matching Resource Cards by remembering their location
