  • Milkman: You'll take on the role of a local dairy farmer, doing your best to manage your farm, keep the cows happy, process and deliver whole, skim, and chocolate milk, and persuade local customers that your milk is definitely the freshest and tastiest around. Each round, all players roll a certain number of custom dice with all the actions available to do what's mentioned above. They may press their luck and re-roll those dice a couple of times, or match up sets to get the result they want. The active player will have a few more dice to work with which, unfortunately, can't be re-rolled, but can be manipulated with cash on hand.

  • Henhouse: Arrange chickens carefully in your henhouse to make the chickens happy. Certain chickens want to be next to other chickens, while others want to be on a specific level of the henhouse. Where you place the chicken determines what card you add to your hand from the market. And sometimes you'll want to build a roof on your henhouse, too. Whoever best manages their henhouse will win!
  • The Politics of Dragons: You're a dragon politician running for office in a modern dragon society. Hold campaign events, give landmark speeches, earn endorsements, and spend political favor all in an effort to convince the voters you're the best candidate for their pet issue. Issues like Princess Relations or Fire. The politician with the most votes by the end of the election will win!
  • Substitute Art Teacher: The regular art teacher is sick today and you're the only substitute teacher available. You agree to cover the class, but there's a problem: You don't know anything about art. You normally teach gym class. Can you convince the students that you really do know what you're talking about?
