Incan Gold:
Incan Gold is a quick, fun game of bluff and daring in which explorers push their luck while exploring an old Incan temple in search of gold and treasure. In each round, you decide whether to delve deeper into the temple, adding to your riches, or escape with the share you’ve acquired so far. Every time an explorer braves new territory, more gems and dangers appear. Giant spiders, mummies and fire can cause you to lose everything. Is it worth the risk? You decide. But if you leave, those who remain in the temple may acquire a bigger share of each stash of jewels yet to be found. After five rounds of exploration, whoever has the most treasure is the ultimate explorer and the winner!
Price: $24.95
   
Looting London:
Game Players take on the role of an iconic detective to solve the biggest caper of the decade! The culprit is clever, but for the sharp-minded and keen observer, there's no such thing as the perfect crime, and every criminal leaves a trail of clues to follow, no matter how small or well-covered. Follow these clues across the seedy streets of 19th century London, but be alert; the best detectives are rarely led astray! With witnesses to interview, get-away routes to trace and a bevy of clues to sift through, only the finest detective will be able to track down the culprits in order to return the stolen treasures to their rightful locations.
Price: $24.95
   
Birds on a Wire:
You’ve heard the old saying: “Birds of a feather flock together”? Well, the same is true when they gather on wires—that is, before they get zapped and fly away. Players arrange birds into sets on their power lines trying to create the best scoring combinations. But watch out! In this game of migrating birds and zaps, scores go up and down and you never know if your score is the highest until the very end. This game has two sets of rules, one for families with young children (7 and up) and one for more advanced play. This is a delightful game for kids and families that you’ll want to play again and again.
Price: $24.95

Over the course of four rounds, players use these cards to establish the relative value of each artist’s body of work.
