get the glass milk game
A beautifully rendered adventure board game, this sleekly 3D animated quest takes trivial pursuit and injects action, adventure and fun within a storyline that places you in danger of osteoperosis. Wait, actually, you are being followed by Fort Fridge Security and you have to GET MILK to make you strong, yadayadayada so you can triumph. Something like that.

Here are the details: Help the milk-deprived Adachi family navigate and survive all 5 regions of the board, break into Fort Fridge and get the glass. The glass offers the Adachis the promise of an unlimited suppy of white gold, I mean, milk, to help with their various health ailments. Be careful, however, because Fort Fridge Security is hot on your tail. If they catch up to you, they’ll be more than happy to ship you and the Adachis off to Milkatraz. 3 trips to the ‘traz and your game is over. To begin: roll the dice and save the Adachis from calcium deficiency!!

pirate dice
Each pirate starts with 5 dice under their cups. The 1st player chooses a dice face (1 to 6) and makes a bid on how many of these he thinks are on the table underneath all cups. The next player then either bids on the same face but a higher amount, a higher amount of a different face, or if they suspect the previous player is lying they call “LIAR.” The bidding continues, player after player, until “liar” is called, at which point all cups are raised and the amont of dice in the last bid are tallied.

It is the year 20 BC. Emperor Augustus has brought peace to a young Roman Empire. Two friends sit upon the steps outside the amphitheatre, locked in concentration over a stone board upon which glass pieces have been placed, trying to gain an advantage over one another. They’re playing Ludas Latrunculorum, a game already hundreds of years old, which enjoys a high level of popularity within the Empire.

Remake of an old Mac OS Classic game called Hot Spot. You have a game board that consists of four concentric rings around a center spot (check out the screenshots). You also have 32 game tiles consisting of two tiles each of every combination of four colors and four symbols (2 x 4 x 4 = 32). The object of the game is to place a tile in that center spot by working your way in from the outer rings by following certain rules:
- Tiles cannot match their neighbors in symbol or color.
- Tiles in the inner rings must match one of the parent tiles they are connected to by color and the other by symbol.

bonobos bongos

Consider this an online memory game of “Simon” except replace the plastic lights and computer hum sounds with 3D bonobo chimps and their bongos. Bono or Bado (I’m not sure what his name is!), the chimp on the left, will play a rhythm for you on his bongos. You, the cute guy on the right, have to mimick the exact rhythm that he just played. Click on the bongo to make the sounds. If you mimick correctly, you’ll know by the reaction of the bonobos. If you’ve played incorrectly, you’ll get an obvious thumbs down (or a shake of the head). You’ll continue until you have to go back to work. :-)
