Synopsis: The premise of this game is that murder mystery
games start after all the fun is over, namely killing the victim. In this game
you get to wander around a mansion and attempt to murder Dr. Lucky. The trick
is that the other players want to murder him first, so they all cooperate
to try to foil your attempt. You also cannot make a murder attempt when anyone
is looking. So your pawn cannot be within the line of sight of another pawn
on the game board when an attempt is made. A pretty fun game from Cheapass
games whose whole idea behind boardgames is to keep them affordable by
offering just the bare minimum needed for the game. With this game you
will need to supply pawns for the players and one special pawn to represent
Dr. Lucky.

Synopsis: Yet another strange game from the mind of Uwe Rosenburg. In this game the players are
attempting to both sell and purchase jewelry. You must place items in your "Shop Window" that will attract other
buyers, but that's not where the real money is. You also want to collect specific items in your safe by purchasing
from other players. However, if you end up with too much in your safe your collection isn't as valuable. Some very
clever mechanisms make this a highly enjoyable game.

Synopsis: You would be hard pressed to find another game that is as close to pure negotiation as
this one. Players attempt to strike deals displayed on the circular board. The problem is that each deal requires
different families to participate. Of course, these families are controlled by the other players who will gladly help
you out for their "fair" share. If that's not enough, often just as the deal is about to close another player
will come up with a long lost "cousin" that will strike the deal for less. Or, worse yet, send one of the players
about to cement the deal on an extended vacation. Lots of wheeling and dealing, fast talking and backstabbing in this
incredible game.

Synopsis: Political game of intrigue and backstabbing done in a tongue
in cheek style. Players back the candidates of their choice (secretly) in an effort to
get them to become the president of the Soviet Union. A fairly complex game in its
mechanics. Player's need to help their choice of candidates along while attempting to
thwart other players' choices. This was nominated for Germany's "Game of the Year" in 1987.
