Get ready to embark on the craziest vacation ever!  A herd of mischievous bulls has taken over the quaint town of El Toro, and players must outrun and outwit them in order to get to the fabulous destinations on the coast!  Skillfully play cards to dodge the rascally bulls as they chase you through the streets! Choose when to act, rolling dice to determine the paths of both the Runners of El Toro and the Bulls themselves! With a bit of planning and lot of luck, you’ll reach your spectacular getaway while Running with the Bulls!

Running with the Bulls is a game for 2-6 players played over three rounds called “days.” During each day, players will use action cards to guide their Runners to destinations at the bottom of the board - all while trying to avoid irate bulls! The player with the most points at the end of the game wins!

But beware of the other chefs as they drive up demand and increase prices! Earn your stars in this deliciously fun race to gourmet supremacy, proving you are the greatest of Menu Masters!

Hive Mind
$24.00 SRP
NPI

Up in a hive in that tree over yonder, The Queen Bee has a decision to ponder. Winter is coming, and the hive is congested, to decide who can stay, all bees will be tested! The Queen shall ask questions, and then she will see which of her bees answer most identically. Those who match answers, with thinking aligned will prove they can stay within the Hive Mind!

In Hive Mind, players are bees who take turns rolling the die, moving The Queen Bee along the garden track, and asking and answering questions to assess their compatibility with the hive. Each bee is trying to prove they should stay in the hive by thinking in harmony with the other bees. They do this by answering questions the same way as their fellow bees. The more answers they have in common with other players, the more points they get! Bees with the lowest point totals move closer to the hive door. When one or more bees leave the hive, the game is over. The bees remaining in the hive win!

3-12 players
Ages 8+
30-90 minute play time
