In the Palm of Your Hand is a new team-based game from first-time designer Timothée Decroix! Help your grandparent relive their memories using 11 different 3D objects and over 100 beautifully-illustrated cards! One player (grandchild) must “mime” memories depicted on cards by using objects in the palm of another player (grandparent), whose eyes are shut. The grandchild draws 2 random cards from their hand, secretly looks at them, then uses any of the 11 3D objects included in the box to mime the memories in the grandparent's palm. Cards are added (by the opposing team and from the deck) until there are 8 cards total. The grandparent then opens their eyes and must find the 2 correct memories out of the 8 cards on the table! The game ends once everyone has had a chance to be the grandparent!

In Pylos , you want to be one who places the final ball on top of the pyramid. Sounds simple enough, right? At the start of the game, each player has fifteen balls, either light or dark, and they take turns placing them on a game board that has sixteen indentations on it in a 4x4 grid. Once four balls have been placed next to one another in a square, a ball can be placed on top of them, forming a second level of play. Players can then place balls on this second level, eventually allowing a ball to be placed on the third level – and once that level is full, which requires only four balls, a final ball can be placed on the fourth level, with that player winning the game. If a player forms a square of his own color – that is, four balls placed next to one another on the same level – that player can remove one or two of his balls (that don't support anything) from anywhere on the board and place them in his reserve, thereby giving him more balls to place in the future. Whenever a player forms a square that's not entirely his own color, he can "stack" one of his pieces – that is, he can take any ball and place it on this square, locking some pieces in place and making a move without having to place a piece from his reserve. The rules include a variant for children (that removes the square bonus) and one for experts (that allows a player to return 1-2 balls to his reserve when he creates a line of his color).

Quarto is a subtle abstract strategy game with the simplest of rules. Each of the 16 pieces has 4 different characteristics that make them unique (color, shape, size, hollow or not).

One of the players will inevitably hand his opponent victory on a plate!

Sky Team is a co-operative limited-communication game, exclusively for two players, in which you play a pilot and co-pilot at the controls of an airliner. Your goal is to work together as a team to land your airplane in different airports around the world. To land your plane, you need to silently assign your dice to the correct spaces in your cockpit to balance the axis of your plane, control its speed, deploy the flaps, extend the landing gear, contact the control tower to clear your path, and even have a little coffee to improve your concentration enough to change the value of your dice. If the aircraft tilts too much and stalls, overshoots the airport, or collides with another aircraft, you lose the game...and your pilot's license...and probably your life. From Montreal to Tokyo, each airport offers its own set of challenges. Watch out for the turbulence as this could end up being bumpy ride!
